Stayed here a while ago for a few days so thought I'd give the gym a try for the £5 it cost me. Place was filthy, crisp packets and used energy drinks bottles in the locker, used towels all over, and a used dirty plaster on the changing room floor. Thick dust on the window ledges upstairs. A couple of the machines were out of order but there were plenty, 1 Water fountain broke, no blue paper towels in either of the 2 dispensers! Bin was overflowing and no staff in sight. Finished up on the runner, went back downstairs an hour later to find the towels, plaster and litter was still all there. Sauna wasn't hot enough at all, the thermostat claimed 82C but my my smart watch after 15mins told me it was less than 65C. Mentioned it to the young girl playing with her phone next to the pool and she said "It can't be too hot for health and safety" (????????). Little Pool closed for cleaning, 2 toilets out of order, 2 sinks covered in hair, mirrors were filthy, 1 shower out of order and in another shower the knob came off in my hand. I just put my dirty clothes back on and went to shower in my room upstairs. I tried to mention the issues to a member of staff on leaving, but there was one person manning reception on her own with 5 people queueing. It amazes me how this gym has...
Read moreAbsolutely amazing place. The staff are amazing too. I'm a member of the gym. Phil and his merry band of team members are the best I've ever come across. I've been a member of David Lloyd, Bannatyne, Virgin, JD over the years and I've never experienced such a welcome atmosphere from every staff member before. They really do go above and beyond to make sure the members are happy. The Village Gym South Leeds has raised the bar to all the other gyms I've ever been to. Down to earth atmosphere while being professional and helpful. Couldn't ask for anything more. Special thanks to the gym team - Phil Brodie, Lucy Illingworth, Simon Webster, Chris Burlingham, Andy Bennett, Victoria Kaye, Emily Porter, Lewis Clarke, Ryan Fisher, Gail Johnson, Lauren Cawley, Karen Bray and Rachel Hodges. You guys make it easier coming to the gym 🏋️♂️. 🏋️♀️ . Sorry if I missed anyone ❤️💜🩷💚💙 Keep doing what you're doing 👌 👏 #Bestgymever
Ps. I've stayed in the hotel. I've eaten in the restaurant and drank in the bar. They're...
Read moreBeen a member for almost a year and will be moving as soon as the contract ends. The staff couldn’t be friendlier and the classes are great, however the showers and changing rooms are disgusting for the price you pay. It looks and smells like it’s never had a deep clean. There is mould and grime everywhere. The gym itself and the studio room floor is usually dirty. I've never seen anyone cleaning.
The gym is a sweat box with poor air conditioning - an issue during the colder months too! Trying to get a cardio workout done in there is hell. It’s usually rammed between 5-8, which is expected but it means the gym gets far too warm.
I’ve found the pool, sauna and steam room to be a lot better maintained, but I’ve stopped using them because I can’t bring myself to use the showers - the smell is horrid.
It’s a real shame because I have been enjoying the classes. There’s a wide variety and at different days / times, plus the instructors are 10/10.
Looking forward to starting a...
