Sports and Wellness Hub

A high quality sports venue. We visit twice a week and there is always a nice atmosphere. It is kept very clean and fairly well maintained (a bit slow to repair things sometimes). The 'build quality' is very good for all facilities and membership prices are very reasonable.

Hard to say anything nice about this place:1) Most lockers don’t have numbers anymore. Finding your locker is like a game of roulette.2) Sauna doesn’t drain properly, and door doesn’t always shut completely.3) You have to use your card to get into gym room (but what if you don’t have pockets?).4) Pool and sauna close 1 hour before gym closes on weekdays. Annoying if you want to use sauna after workout.5) Swimming lanes are often reserved for university club and classes, especially in evening (difficult for people who work during the day).6) They just reduced pool/sauna hours on weekend (from 8pm to 7pm) – makes it even more difficult for people who work during the day.7) Showers don’t drain properly, lots of standing water from everyone who showered before. Gross.8) Locker rooms on ground floor are always hot and stuffy. No ventilation.9) Men’s urinals on 1st floor stink to high heaven.10) Men's showers on the 1st floor have much faster timer than on the ground floor. The 1st floor showers also randomly change from hot to cold.11) The cleaning person poured bleach inside my shower cubicle while I was showering barefoot.12) They recently increased prices even though the facilities and pool hours have gotten worse.

AVOID!!!! The gym is in a state of disrepair, with broken equipment and missing parts on several machines, including the pneumatic cable machines and pec machine which have been out of order for months. The gym is constantly overcrowded, making it difficult to work out safely, and I even sustained an injury when a weight fell on my foot due to the lack of space.Additionally, the locker rooms are consistently dirty, with showers and urinals that are always dirty, and many lockers are broken. The cleaner is rude and unhelpful, and even kicked me out of the locker room when I sat down just for a minute to message my friend, claiming to be cleaning despite the fact that there were plenty of other people present causing him no issue. Overall, the gym is not being properly maintained, and the administration needs to take action to address these issues.P.S. The images depict only a few of the issues that I ve mentioned above. I would have gone out of phone storage if I had captured everything.

Great venue to host the 2023 sikh dodgeball tournament. Very accommodating and plenty of space and facilities. Parking is expensive though. Played football here a few times outdoor pitches great surface and lighting.

I’ve been using the climbing area for 3 years now and it’s a great place to be. However today I booked to go bouldering and it said 70 places free. Clearly people from the session before run over so I figured it would be a bit busier but not that busy so I went and started climbing. 20 minutes into my session I was told by a student of the climbing club that half of the bouldering wall was now off limits, which was confirmed by a staff member. The reason for this was the club’s taster session. As a former student I have no problem with a taster session closing part of wall as they are beneficial, however at no point during my booking was this communicated to me. I was told that it had been posted on social media, but I don’t follow the sports hub and frankly shouldn’t have to for messages that relate to facilities. As a paying customer it is disappointing to not be informed of this when I book on the website. I am happy to schedule my climbing around taster sessions or any other closures, however I need to know when this is happening in order to do so.

Took our mixed team of novices to their first tournament, and we cleaned up in the trophy area! 3 gold, four silver and a bronze - they all came away with medals, some of them with two!

Stunning building with amazing facilities. Having the climbing wall by the entrance is awesome to see.Well laid out and modern equipment available and staff are very knowledgeable. Cryfield village car park is directly opposite and costs £1 to park for a whole day.

I've spent hundreds of hours in the uni gym which can hopefully testify to the fact it's a great place to be. It is relatively expensive but if you buy an annual gym and swim membership and make good use of it it's very reasonable. The community inside the gym is very nice as well and always a pleasure to train there. There's great energy and you can hype others up and luckily (unlike some gyms!) it's not treated as a library but an environment to push yourself. There's good barbell variety as well. The staff are sound too. The gym has way too many cardio machines and only one set of cables which is definitely a point to improve on.Toilet facilities are pretty average, can be quite unclean at times but does also get cleaned pretty regularly. Some pieces of equipment are broken but all of the major things are fine so it's not too big of an issue. Most equipment is well kept with only a few pieces being a little worn down. A few mates would have liked to have an assisted pull up machine to build up to pull ups and the gym could definitely do with a preacher curl stand. The hours are also a bit limited for anyone who wants to train in the night or early morning but for most people shouldn't be an issue. Overall a solid gym, and other aspects of the facilities I've used when it comes to Badminton and Squash are solid as well.

Lovely clean facility with impeccable sports facilities and a lovely pool that has accessible. Staff are lovely and on hand at any point to support you. However the membership is expensive being £49 per month.

Update: We have been multiple times now and are enjoying an incredibly fun and thorough workout aswell as bonding and stress releasing.I have found the car parks to be frustrating and difficult to get my head around but i learnt that you can pay at the desk when you're done which is really helpful. There are also lockers there for your valuables.There can be quite long and slow moving ques at the main reception so i will be and would advise booking in advance to climb.The climbing staff all seem to be helpful, friendly and approachable but best of all they are hot on safety. It's brilliant to see a whole team who are so responsive, it makes be much more confident to take my child.The walls are fantastic, they change them often enough and it adds to the fun when there are new challenges. I have also found the bouldering wall a lot of fun too which i hadn't been very interested in before. I've found it a nice way to wind down after the climbing walls.I have had some issues with my registration and subsequent issues booking in but i think that is sorted now and I've been with other people who have never had this problem.Went for climbing, had a great time. All the staff were really helpful. We needed to register for the first time online and booked in there at the main reception.The price which is £7(off peak)-£10 per session and. We had an induction (£6) and regular check ins. You can hire shoes and a harness for an extra £6 or the harness alone for £4.50, just mentioning as it all adds up and it's not clearly stated on the website.The climbing staff were friendly, attentive and professional. The walls are amazing fun, of all different difficulties and at least 8 auto belays that i can remember. I will definitely be going back to enjoy and hopefully improve on my climbing. There is also a large bouldering wall but i didn't get round to having a go but the floor was very good quality, everything was to be fair and clean. An impressive place with lots more to offer. I look forward to returning.
