"For the price they charge, this gym feels like something"

For the price they charge, this gym feels like something our dads used 20 years ago, back in the Arnold Schwarzenegger era. There isn’t even a proper set of pre-loaded (fixed weight) barbells. You have to manually load plates, clip them, and set everything up yourself every single time. Even gyms that charge a third of this price provide fixed barbells as standard. Paying a premium and not even having basic equipment like that is honestly shocking. Add to that how overcrowded it is at all times, and it’s simply not worth the money.

I thoroughly enjoyed my regular workout in the well equipped gym. As long as you avoid the busiest times, the experience is always positive!
"Get rid of the tiered membership and build a bigger gym"

Get rid of the tiered membership and build a bigger gym. I pay for an off peak membership and the equipment I want to use is pretty much never free. It costs 4x the price of the membership I paid at my previous unis. And the rule of not being allowed to take your shoesoff is something I hate.
"For the training environment"

For the training environment. Good enough, everything keeps clean and well maintained . Deserve to be five stars. But they don’t allow to film. So I don’t have images inside. And this is also inconvenient for those who wants to take photos for themselves.
