The Time Capsule Gym — Local services in Great Britain

This place seems great for kids but for regular people who just want to use the gym and swim lanes this place is a NIGHTMARE. For some reason, the entrance to the actual gym isn’t in use, which means you have to enter via the time capsule entry, walk through the chaos of the water park which is boiling hot with chlorine steam and screaming kids everywhere. The gym itself is fine with nice equipment, good aircon and helpful class instructors but a bit of a maze to navigate.

That means that those of us wanting to actually swim are condensed into one land for one hour??? Is the whole water park not enough space for those types of activities? I’m in the right mind now to look for a new gym, or make use of my access to the other NL gums which come with membership once I get a car.

Wasted a lot of money on this gym, I wouldn’t recommend because the kids get in for free during peak time and holidays you can’t move from kids swinging from machines, not turning on steamrooms and blaming weather or whatever excuse it is that day to avoid spending money… if you are Serious about joining a gym...
