Good Points

good equipment and an overall good facility.

Bad Points

The air conditioning for the last few years was off in the summer and on in the winter. The showers are usually lukewarm in the winter.

General Comments

The staff are usually talking to their friends and do not supervise clients in their use of the gym. The gym music turns up at 5pm by another 50 decibels of dance music.
Their are a growing number of personal trainers plying for trade. As far as I can tell all but one have no knowledge of safe and effective use of weights and cardio thoracic training. They are not vetted, do not have to show any prior training or experience and even more importantly are not supervised. Thus they can carry on potentially promoting poor technique and form and putting the members health and safety at risk. A recent event in the gym saw a man with a known back injury put on a leg press and was in agony in seconds. That is really a very basic error. The personal trainer did not know what to do and ended up calling for an ambulance. The man was taken out on a stretcher.
