  I've been a member of this gym for about 3 months now and it's a vast improvement on the Better Centre that I was a member of before (please see my other review). The cleanliness is good with the cleaners regularly making the rounds but I would say that it's often hard to find the weights that you want as they're often dotted all around the room as many gym goers seem to not realise that other people might want to use them. I think that Gymbox probably need to try and do something about this as it does also make the place look messy. The sauna is good and fortunately not too busy while the rest of the facilities are of a good standard (although the male changing room has had a broken toilet seat and soap dispenser since I joined).
  
  Since joining this gym I've also started with a personal trainer. It wasn't something that I'd considered before but they're are a lot of professional looking instructors who are happy to pitch their skills. I was able to test out free sessions with 3 different trainers before I chose the one I went with. They're of varying prices (cheap - midrange) and quality (poor - to great) but unfortunately the cheaper ones were not the better ones; I guess it depends on your budget but like most things in life you get what you pay for. I wouldn't pay £25 for an hour massage and expect it to be any good and that seems to be the same here. Anyway I'm very happy with my trainer and have seen big results over these last two months.

  I'm regular user of this gym - I go 4-5 times per week there. I pay higher memebership in comparison to any other gyms around, so I was expecting a better service than the low-cost gym. However, the service is actually worse than at my old gyms. All stair masters are currently broken for about a month! I have asked several times at the reception about it- first, they didn't even know it was broken, then other 2 times I was told that it will be fixed 'this week', still after 2 weeks it didn't happen... They have nice classes- but they are always full! Yes, I'm always booking them in the morning a day before- they are already booked around 7:30 am! If I'm lucky to get a class- the studio rooms and especially the floors are so dirty together with all the mats& equipment. The gym is always busy- especially now in January. I used to go around 6-7 pm before and obviously it was crowded, but now it's impossible to go before 8 pm without waiting 15 minutes for any equipment. Overall, I was excited to join this gym at the beginning, especially as an upgrade from the student gym. However, I actually received better service at my low cost student gym than here.. To management; your concept has a potential, but please keep it up with promises and provide a service relavant to its price!
