  • "Plenty of lockers available in the changing area."
  • "Lovely swimming pool, so much space, clean and the gym equipment is well maintained."
  • "Large pool and fitness area. I mainly use the free weights area, lots of hammer strength machines, one squat rack, two bench press, one incline press, one seated press and plenty of dumbbells."

Cons:

Cons:

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Not a bad gym. Relatively inexpensive especially if you are a Hillingdon Resident."
  • "I'm enjoying my gym membership, it's 100% worth the price!"
  • "Good value for money once you've joined."
  • "Fantastic local venue. With 3 floor gym, dedicated cardio, resistance machines and separate weights room area."
  • "A fair pool at a good price for local residents if you have the Hillingdon first card."
  • "Joining this gym annually is more cost effective than taking 2 ad-hoc yoga classes per week and you get more for your money."
  • "Free parking for members a plus."

Cons:

  • "Parking fees are perhaps little expensive."
  • "3rd world conditions at 1st world prices- charging for parking even on a Sunday when there are residential roads for free to pick from."
  • "Paying for full membership and two weeks in a row there is no space."
  • "Classes need to be booked at 10pm at night, 7 days in advance such is the demand/too many members."
  • "Seems very pointless paying membership when you can walk-inn for free."
  • "Highly advise you to not to get a junior gym membership. For £13.90 a month you get access to a limited amount of equipment."
  • "I also recently got a parking ticket even though my permit was clearly displayed in the window this took weeks to sort out!"

Accessibility & Convenience

Pros:

  • "Great viewing area for the swimming pool if you want to watch your star in action :)"
  • "One of the best things about it is that it's open until 10pm during the week."
  • "Nice swimming pools. The best part of it is they have separate pools for training / courses and public."
  • "Parking after 6:30 pm is free."
