The gym has really gone downhill. It has become a real sweat box, and does not seem to have any air flowing through it. This makes it very sweaty in there, and leaves all the machines very sticky. I visited this afternoon, and not even any spray to wipe down equipment after using it. Needs a good clean, and a lot of TLC.

I take my children here swimming every week for a few years now and found nothing but professional and fun instructors. (Cheryl and Ben are our favourite)!!!Would definitely recommend taking your munchkins here.

I can only comment on the swimming lessons they offer for children. Within 6 months my daughter did not progress at all. The teacher never got in the pool after the first week (not sure how you can teach inexperienced swimmers from side of pool!) and made her jump in first session with no arm bands which petrified her. After seeing 0 improvement in her swimming ability I changed schools. Within 4 weeks of being taught by 2 teachers both in the pool she can swim independently and has already moved up a level! In short, do not recommend these classes.

I found it not to be great value for moneyEspecially the swimming because you have to pre-book an advance,it's very busy.And does not offer services like a sauna or sunbed like other gyms.On top of that is hourly slots that can make it very difficult for someone on a tight schedule.And then had a bad experience when closing my membership.My account was in credit and I never got none of the money back.And the staff was not very helpful in thisDepartment at first I was told that it would be put back into my bank account ,,it was then very clear after 7days they did not want to return my money so I contacted them again, they could only give it back in store credit which I would never use.On top of that they kept taking payment from my bank account even though I've not use their services for months and monthsSo I've just found myself paying £25 for a gym membership that I've not used for months and will not I will not use for the next month.,, I have used our James before that offer a wide variety of activities and things to do that is worth the moneyBut as for this gym I give it half a star,Add more likely recommend Basildon festival leisure, or Basildon everyone active,

Really enjoyed the swimming experience. Facilities were clean. Staff were helpful. However, there was nothing on the app that I could find ( staff also agreed) that told you the process of cancelling a booking that had previously been booked and paid for if someone could not attend. To be told you had to phone at least 4hrs beforehand would have been useful to know.Overall I would recommend.

Nice fitness center, staff are helpful and friendly, gym and classes are well organized ?.... swimming pool could do with a good clean, and better ventilation hence the 3 stars.

Good gym , decided to check out the swimming for the first time today with my young daughter.Small pool but nice and warm, bit retro, liked the fact they have music playing. Marks at the the shallow end need fixing (looks like rust, my daughter thought it something far worse )We still had to go into the men's changing room as no family changing, which is extremely old fashioned, but they do have larger cubicles.The showers are far too hot for children, don't stay on long and they are exposed near the pool door - in other places they are the showers you have before getting in the pool, but here it's all they have (obviously can't comment on the women's changing set-up).I did feedback about the temperature on the reception desk, so I hope this gets sorted asap for when we return and finger crossed they are planning on installing decent private showers , as this really let's it down for a family swim.I'll update this review after another visit.** Update **Showers still too hot for kids , but a quick splash and we shower when we get home.Gym classes are really good!!Please more 8am live classes ?Please note when it says virtual, this means a big screen comes down automatically at class time for you follow, its a nice big room , with others joining in , so I recommend going to these!!

Water sometimes a little cold but that just gets you swimming quicker. Sometimes there is traffic jam in pool but it's all good

An excellent facility all staff are polite and helpful.I'd recommend that people of all ages use this very important addition to the town.
