Gym is good… changing rooms.. disgusting
Gym is really good for the price, has lots of equipment and doesn’t get too busy which is nice. However the changing rooms were disgusting. The floor was filthy and the showers had clumps of hair on the floor. The floor clearly isn’t cleaned regularly, people bring push chairs, outside shoes and walk around making it very difficult to shower or get changed without walking through dirt.

Good Evening Elle,
Thank you for your review.
We are very happy to hear that you are enjoying your membership at the Highbury leisure centre. However, We are very disappointed to hear that the changing area's were not up to a decent standard due to the high usage. I will escalate your concerns for the immediate attention of the centre manager so he can look into this and arrange a deep clean if required.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Great, but better cleaning needed please.
I’ve only visited one of the centres so far. It’s very nice, easy to access and well equipped. Sadly, the swimming pool changing rooms were very dirty and smelled bad and some of the floors were quite grubby too.

I've been a member for two weeks and the experience is OK. The door that you must provide a scan to get in for by the sauna doesnt work the vast majority of the time, so you have to wait for another member to let you in, which sometimes doesnt happen. I've spoken to other members and they all face this issue. Another morning the sauna was just not on with no reason why. Changing rooms are quite grubby.
