Meridian Fitness - Gym & Spa

A am a little disappointed with my experience here, as a booked a relaxing massage for myself and my wife that didn't meet our expectations.Pros:- Both masseuse' were friendly, polite and attentiveThe negatives:- My masseuse was 10mins late to her shift. When she was ready, rather than coming down the stairs she hailed me to come up from the top of the stairs.- I really wanted a relaxing massage, some quiet and ambience. My therapist complained that she was tired, how hard it was to have a children and that she needed to speak to keep herself awake throughout the entire 30 minute session. This did not provide a relaxing nor professional setting. Despite me constantly closing my eyes and barely replying to show I was trying to relax, the therapist continued to speak about various things.- My wife's masseuse was also very kind and polite, but my wife felt the therapist didn't really know what she was doing, and did not feel relaxed.- The waiting area for the massages are literally three chairs underneath stairs at the front of the gyms entrance. Again, not relaxing.Next time I will book an actual spa place.**edit** To the person that responded from Meridian Fitness, check the date 01.05.23 for the Swedish Massage & Best Foot Forward massage.

Wasted PotentialYou'll see the gym has a sign on the front of it saying Premium"

Negligent gym that has caused fires on multiple occasions endangering the residents who live above it. When I was a member, lots of the machines failed to work properly and the gym management also make it difficult to actually terminate a contract. This gym needs to take accountability for its actions!

Had a deep tissue & facial here. I couldn’t recommend it anymore! Professionalism all the way through my appointment, really understood my issues and was given good advice to help my skin for the future! This was a booking made as a gift for me but it’s definitely now a place I will return to!I would like to thank everyone whom made it an enjoyable experience:)!

I prefer heavy pressure for my massages, I usually get deep tissue and Charlotte did not disappoint! She was fantastic.Thank you so much. You helped me to feel better!

Very poorly run gym that has caused fires on four separate occasions. Also, they make it very difficult to actually terminate a contract, I signed up once on a trial and it was very difficult to get out of contract. This gym needs to take responsibility for the recent and reoccurring fires that keep happening. This is a serious fire hazard and risk to life and resident wellbeing if not rectified!

I would not recommend Meridian Fitness for spa treatments. I booked a 35 minute body scrub and left feeling very disappointed. The treatment started 10 minutes late and I was from the start told that we needed to be quick because of this. The scrub on my body was applied all within 5 minutes and I was then asked to walk by the gym area while classes were happening in a robe. I had to shower in the general gym changing rooms as there is no separate facility for the spa. After the shower, with still 15 minutes remaining of my treatment I was told that we had no more time and I was given moisturizer in a plastic cup to apply on my own. The 35 minute treatment started 10 minutes late and finished 10 minutes early. Overall waste of money.

Irresponsible owners who have caused fires in the building on 4 separate occasions. Was a member some years ago and they don't let you out of the membership contract. Avoid this gym.

I started training at gyms almost 20 years ago. In that time, I have probably been a member of 12-15 different gyms across the south and in London. I’ve probably visited another 20 on top for one off sessions. I have to say, honestly, this is the worst gym I have ever visited. Most of the equipment is in a sorry state, badly in need of updating, and some of it doesn’t even work. Almost all the cable equipment is screwed up and everything is worn out. The hygiene of the place is terrible, the toilets and the changing rooms are worse than a run down secondary school, and the sauna and steam rooms don’t work. To top it all off, there have been multiple fires in the last year and the place is essentially a health hazard, and should be closed down or completely taken over and re done. DO NOT BOTHER.

A poorly run gym that has caused several fires over the past few years including 2 in the last 7 months. Located in a residential development but have little consideration for their neighbours. Residents of the building are fed up of their incompetence putting our homes, lives & wellbeing at risk.
