• "For such a long time taken to build and open, this gym still manages to be overcrowded, poorly maintained, and a general waste of money."
• "For a gym placed in the centre of the biggest student area in Manchester, possibly the north of England, there are only a handful of bike racks to lock your bike."

• "Easy access. 24hours literally means 24hours so my working pattern and lifestyle no longer inhibits my Training."

Cons:

• "Please don't sign up here it's so bad. It's the only gym nearby to Fallowfield, where loads of students live."
• "The only reason I continue going here is because it's the closest gym to me, so I will just have to bear with it for now."
• "The gym being in a student area makes it impossible to work out. I’ve been a member for years now but it’s got to the point where i can barely complete a workout."

• "I have been to many 'The Gym's across the country and all are of a far better standard at a significantly cheaper cost."
• "There's 3 floors, and yet only 2 dedicated places to bench press (which you'll have to wait for), 2 smith machines (which you'll have to wait for), and 2 power stations (which you''l have to wait for)."
