Having been a member for about 15 or more years I've seen the steady improvement in the facilities here to it's present high standard. In addition, the general atmosphere, which is both helpful and extremely friendly, is refreshing in this day and age of "there it is , get on with it". However, as the membership consists of: "approximately one third aged 60+ (Royston's recent statement) and a large number of squash players, I would like to see the the provision of a defibrillator within the building with, of course, the relevant training in it's use provided to all members of staff. I hope that this is something that will be addressed in the immediate future. This facility has recently been introduced in both local and national sporting venues and I know of 3 persons who would not be with us today if a defibrillator had not been at hand and a person with the confidence to use it.

As a whole Fort Stamford is great. Staff are very friendly, the facilities are fantastic and clean, in general things are well maintained, but there are a few problems. One- there are multiple lights out around the pool and in the gym, this has been like this for a long time and needs to be dealt with. Two - there is rusting , of the steel around the jacuzzi, which has now stained the walls. Thirdly - As a customer, "member", I expect good customer service throughout the gym, this is usually what I am met with. It is a shame that staff have been made to turn away people looking to play squash, especially young people. I believe this is because they want people to start paying for coaching, but coaching is not what I want, I just want a competitive knock around. Apart from these three very manageable things, the gym has a lovely ambience and is a great place to get in shape and relax.

Great friendly and inclusive gym, classes for everyone and cafe. The swimming pool is very warm, which is wonderful for babies and small children. I've been here for years and enjoyed different classes. There's a thriving squash community here that I know nothing about and swimming lessons that are well taught and organised.
