The Alex Yee centre in Ladywell.
I've been a member for over ten years and the centre has been consistently good during that time.
The venue has a community feel among members and the staff are helpful and engaging.
For the size of the gym there is a good range of free weights and machines.

Going the extra mile
Krzys, Matthew and Steve are a fantastic, friendly team and really went the extra mile to make sure that a recent event at the Arena, the Run Bike Run Mini organised by British Triathlon, was as good as it could be for our son. For reasons beyond their control other children had signed up to an earlier time, and there weren't any other children taking part at the same time. Krzys, Matthew and Steve ensured the event took place anyway and brought tons of energy and good vibes: Matthew laced up his trainers and joined in the run section, Krzys ran the timings and Steve marked out the lanes. Thanks so much for going the extra mile and making it happen. It meant so much! Ben

The centre and everything about it is…
The centre and everything about it is great. I’ve been using it for 15 years . However recently had to convert my membership to a 60+ and the process was clunky and expensive. I had to pay twice for one month and a set up charge . What a rip off

Hi John,
Thank you for your review.
I can see that you didn't change your membership - you signed up again which is why you were charged twice.
I can also see you were issued with a full refund of the payment you made on the new membership.
Hope that clarifies things.
Warm Regards
