Membership & Contract

Pros:

  • "This gym offered a reasonable priced membership, with a flexibility that you don't feel 'locked' into a contract."
  • "It is affordable when you compare it to other places in the area."
  • "Price is a bit steep, but is really worth it when compared with others such as David Lloyd."

Cons:

  • "Once you join you will have to commit for 6 months, super inflexible."
  • "AVOID! They want to charge £70 a month and pay £100 upfront to join! Overpriced over subscribed gym."
  • "After 5 year membership and at least five referrals I was disappointed that they wanted an admin fee to rejoin, my membership only lapsed due to covid and not being able to re-enter UK."

Staff & Service

Pros:

  • "The gym guys always seem to be talking amongst themselves and I feel they should be looking around and interacting with the clients."

  • "All members of staff are polite and friendly!"
  • "The staff seem very friendly and helpful."
  • "Very welcoming and encouraging staff."
  • "Staff are professional and friendly and the classes are well managed and varied."

Cons:

  • "Trainers in general stand looking at a computer rather than talking with the clients."
  • "The staff are not helpful either."
  • "The manager was not accommodating to the situation."
  • "Definitely not worth money."
  • "When it comes to book treatments omg the reception staff are just so poor in the customer service side."
  • "I'm so disappointed by the customer service received by this Spa."
  • "I don't know why they ask for opinions and then when it is negative they cancel your membership."

Facilities & Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "It has great facilities with great staff who are always very welcoming."
  • "Fantastic gym, equipment, staff and very clean. Can't go wrong, great value for money."
  • "The gym is clean, has almost everything you'd need from free weights / machine weights and is rarely too busy."
  • "Fantastic gym; Gorgeous pool, sauna, and steam room; Inviting lounge and bar; Clean changing areas and toilets."
  • "Best health club in the area. Super clean, well equipped gym, lots of classes, swimming pool just great again very clean!"
  • "Swimming pool, sauna and steam room clean and well conditioned."
  • "Gym is clean and all is very well run."

Cons:

  • "The only thing that lets this amazing health club down are the disabled changing facilities."
  • "This is the 2nd time i've had a less than satisfactory nail treatment here."
  • "The entire treatment was meant to last for two and a half hours but I was finished about fifteen minutes earlier than this and it started five minutes late."
  • "Unfortunately the manicure barely lasted 2 days before there were issues with the quality of appearance."
  • "The spa itself is well maintained and the changing rooms and pool are a little dated but perfectly acceptable."
  • "Whilst this isn't the most extensive of spas, I would say it would be good for there to be a separate more tranquil pool."
  • "The swim club on Monday occasionally claims too much of the pool to allow recreational swimmers space for lane swimming."

Classes & Booking

Pros:

  • "Lots of class choices."
  • "There are so many fun classes that are relatively easy to book."
  • "The classes are varied, they have a great app system."
  • "Classes are great."
  • "Quality classes, with lots of class options."
  • "There are loads of classes to choose from and the gym staff are really knowledgeable and helpful."
  • "Lovely gym, always improving and offering new classes etc."

Cons:

  • "They offer a lot of fitness classes but it's almost impossible to book on to one which can be really frustrating."
  • "The popular classes can be hard to get into."
  • "Website for bookings unreliable."
  • "Desperately oversubscribed. Unless you put your morning alarm on at 5:55 a.m. you'll never be able to book an Aqua Class."
  • "The place gets so busy at times, because they’re over sold."
  • "They have reduced the car park spaces, sold off land, and increased the number of members."
  • "If you're only looking for classes - or predominantly classes - you might be better off trying elsewhere."

Value & Experience

Pros:

  • "Everything throughout the Club is at affordable prices which makes you feel that you have received value for your money and can't wait to return again."
  • "Really enjoyed my massage with Elise! She was very attentive and paid attention to my concern areas!"
  • "I have lost 6 stone since joining Odyssey! Never thought I would actually enjoy exercising but with all the variety on offer I never get bored."
  • "Got spa treatments as a birthday gift both massage and full facial, both carried out by Jordan, having had treatments before at different venues, this was up there with the best."
  • "There so much more on offer for what you pay for, you feel extremely spoilt."
  • "I'm addicted to this place and whenever I can I'm there daily."
  • "All round good day for the mind and body spa day! Definitely recommend it to everyone!"

Cons:

  • "I was given a £50 voucher to use at the Spa and I hadn't realised that the voucher has an expiry date on it."
  • "We had afternoon tea however we were never served any hot drinks or prosecco, or checked up on after the food was served which was disappointing."
  • "The management however has obviously got greedy and charging premium rates for a service you could get at £20 a month from pure gym etc."
  • "SHOCKING. I've decided to take my custom elsewhere now."
  • "I think it's appalling a business can take £50 from a customer (for basically a piece of paper) and not commit to providing the service."
  • "Too bad they don't have a Jacuzzi."
  • "The health club is lovely but for a spa day I'd probably go elsewhere in future."
