Squash lessons in London

“After retiring from work my Doctor diagnosed me with Type 2 Diabetes and prescribed medication (MetFormin tablets). He advised me to exercise and to lose weight. I joined my local Charteris gym and the free weekly Over 50s Keep Fit session where I received a warm welcome and made new friends. Charteris is a community-based not for profit centre run by committed and hardworking Director Lloyd and colleagues who have developed a popular programme of activities for a diverse neighbourhood. After 6 months attending Charteris my Doctor tested me again and found that my health had improved and that I had lost weight. He told me that I no longer had Diabetes and stopped my medication. I will continue to use the Charteris Gym and to attend the weekly Over 50s sessions as it helps me to keep fit, lose weight, improve my health and hopefully live longer!”

“Very helpful staff and the swimming pool fits for both kids and adults.”

“High quality facilities. Contains a Gym, look, rowing suite, free weight room, 2 all purpose astro pitches, indoor courts, studios and a physio. Membership at a reasonable price”

“Excellent fitness and gym facilities. Always polite, professional and helpful staff on hand to help if needed.”

“Excellent local sports centre. I bring my kids here for football lessons at Little Kickers Club; the sports hall is very safe and clean. I've used the pool a few times; it's clean and the water temperature is ideal. The changing rooms are spotless. The employees are always friendly and helpful. Badminton and table tennis are also available.”

“Ever since the opening of a certain gym franchise nearby, the leisure centre has been super quiet. As much as it makes it more comfortable having less people to wait on machines and weights, this place deserves a little more love from the community in these times. They've lost so much members and its painful to see. Wishing for more members to come”

“Great venue for playing badminton, cricket, 5-a-side football. It's a school, but the public can hire facilities evenings and weekends.”
