Circuit Training and Strength Fitness Class with Albi and Fabiana
Circuit Training Fitness Class with Fabiana on Saturdays is extremely good! She is very professional, kind and supportive, and attentive! The circuit exercises are smart and good. Fabiana put efforts to explain it very well and with kindly manner which in my eyes makes it a good coaching. Also Strength Fitness Class with Albi on Sundays (he also works together with Fabiana on Saturday circuit often) is amazing. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I can approach him and ask any questions and he is so happy to demonstrate, support and teach with training techniques. I’ve already learned a lot because of his and Fabiana’s guidance. I love them! They connect and engage with people and that’s how it should be done. You actually leave the session knowing more and stronger. I recommend classes with them to everyone! Thank you ❤️

Mr. Ibiomotayo is incredibly prompt and professional. He recognised my need, picked up on my issue right away, and resolved it with ease. I wish the other two former coworkers had been like him and treated everyone with respect and equality.

Broken and dirty equipment
The upkeep of the building is very poor, referring to in Atherton Leisure centre. Hygiene is shocking , the floor is dirty, yoga mats are old, stinky and very dirty. They have not been replaced since the Opening back in 2016 - neither any of the gym equipment.
The equipment is broken, dirty or in poor condition - no replacement since the Opening in 2016.
I have been a member for 9 years as it is convenient but I am not going to renew my membership next month. It is too pricey for the offering and facilities. The Gym needs to be kept exceptionally cleaned at all the time - people sweat, touch, lay down to exercise and it is absolutely shockingly disgusting doing yoga on them mats and facing the sticky floor with hair on it.
Absolutely not worth it!
Compliments to all yoga and pilates teachers - they are all fantastic and their classes are always full, the only reason I kept my membership for this long.
Shame
