The customer service is pleasant enough behind counter for pool entry, HOWEVER over the last 5 years visiting this place for hydrotherapy, most times we go into the disabled toilets it looks like this, and this is the cleaners, not customers doing this. Disgusting. How is a person when disabled meant to access the toilet? Even if the access was there, the lack of hygiene or lack of respect for the...

Please make the basketball courts 24 hours, getting a casual shoot around in is a hassle on the weekends due to how many people there are and every weekday afternoon the courts are taken up for planned events/sports. You’ll be the only high end 24hr indoor basketball centre, and I’d be willing to pay a membership for it 👍 I just wanna hoop early in the morning around 4-5am

I have noticed there are less staff on the floor when I go (mid-afternoon) and they...

They are in the middle of renovations and are due to close for almost two weeks so that would have been nice to know before signing up, but maybe I'm just looking for excuses to delay joining the gym. The facilities overall are pretty good and I'm excited to see how the new floor turns out. Changing rooms are good, membership fee is...
