UWA Sport — Local services in Crawley

Great gym facility. Has specific rooms including: heavy weights room with deadlift pads, squat racks and bench racks. i LOVE this room because it has big windows, is well-ventilated and has a lovely view of the campus foliage. a separate room for spin classes a 'studio room' which is kind of tucked away from the main gym and includes cables, bars, some light weights a main area with a functional training section including a sled, battle ropes and a fake-grass area a downstairs cardio area with bikes, treadmills etc.

Generally has a wide variety of machines and weights. Staff are very helpful with membership issues etc. and offer helpful tips on technique.

I would say because a lot of young guys go to the gym, it can sometimes feel a bit intimidating and you do definitely get the occasional bro just like... flexing in the mirror... in front of everyone. If you're a little intimidated about going to the gym, I'd recommend starting out at less busy times because the culture of some of the people here is noticeably different to other gyms I've been to. I guess it's just the age bracket because it's at uni.

The business is also a little different to a regular gym - on weekdays it tends to peak early in the morning 7-8am, and then from 3pm onwards until around 9ish it's quite busy. Get in really early at like 6am, the middle of the day, or weekend or Friday evenings and you've got yourself a nice quiet gym to yourself.

Especially if you're a student at UWA, the prices are pretty reasonable and there's lots of classes and facilities on offer. If you're with a university sports club it's definitely worth asking about whether your club offers discounted memberships through the Athlete Strength and Development Program, as I was able to get a significantly discounted rate through the UWA Boat Club to support my...

Lost access during COVID-19 shutdown of the university and then membership was reactivated without any acknowledgement or direct communication to me. I continued to do online and did not attend the campus, but when I did I was told I only had two weeks left on my membership. Basically paid for a full year and had about a month's worth of access. First point of call was to try pitch me for a new membership with more fees. Disappointed with the poor communication and unprofessional experience.

EDIT (response to your response): "A direct email was sent personally by our Fitness Business Manager to all gym members on 4 June 2020" - I received no such email, I have surveyed all three of my inboxes (junk mail included). I attached a screenshot below as evidence, any issues viewing please let me know and I can direct email you.

Unless something extraordinary has happened to that email, please provide evidence that the said email was ever sent to the address registered to my account, I am happy to be corrected if I am factually wrong here.

I'm well within my right not to read your newsletter, the onus is on you to make direct correspondence with me. An email would have sufficed. N.B.: I am not subscribed to the newsletter.

I decline your invitation to make the effort to visit the sports centre and subject myself to an uncomfortable interaction that may likely leave me feeling even worse off.

NB: My initial request for a refund in March 2020 at the start of the university shutdown was declined, also much to my...

I'm not sure whether fencing is such a noisy sport. If so, the venue should not be rented to fencing team and ball games at the same time. It is no exaggeration to say that my friends and I were shouted by the fencers next door that we were going to have a heart attack.

And the sign on the wall clearly lists only three ball games. When we used to play badminton here, the basketball player next door would shout, but that was completely within our acceptable range. Today's experience really annoys all of us.

I booked the court one week in advance, but I received a notice that our reservation was cancelled just the day before, WITH NO REASON. Excuse me???

We filed a complaint and got compensation for another period, But when I confirmed it by phone later, I was told by another employee that there was no information about our reservation. Excuse me???

A manager later helped us solve this problem, but in any case, this unpleasant experience and our wasted time made us feel like:...
