Use the Lisnasharragh gym, but the junior membership is very limited. You need to book ahead a week in advance - and you need to be very quick of the mark. This is because there are so few places available! Was given an excuse about the amount of floor staff needed etc etc. But in my experience (over the past 4 months), there appear to be loads of employees knocking about the place. Whether they are all gainfully deployed, well, who can say? The truth is that the times for juniors to use the gyms are simply too limited e.g. there are no adult + junior sessions mid-week (though inexplicably these are available at Olympia Leisure Centre throughout the week). Junior gym sessions start at 3pm mid-week - but kids aren't even out of school at this point - never mind able to make it physically to the centre. Who thought this policy up and on what basis?. In short, i think you can and you should attempt to live up to your name and do, well, better. Cue the obligatory, yet unsatisfactory community management response that will now follow..

Hi
Although the choice in classes is great, booking system is a nightmare, constant penalties, even for classes cancelled on time or attended (card scanned at the entry). But most of all if you want to enjoy evening gym session, with your own music ( not everybody like to exercise to the same tunes), forget it. Music is so loud from speakers, that you won’t be able to hear anything else and people have to actually shout to each other. Despite so many people complaining and asking to turn it down, keeps happening.

I’ve had my daughter at lessons now for 10 months and can honestly say they are rubbish. Not only has the swimming teacher never been the same for more than 2 weeks; but even now with a consistent swimming teacher it’s more of a mess around than learning to swim. I give it a by ball in the beginning because I was assuming it was allowing the children to get used to and comfortable with the water, but we are 10 months in and still the same carry on. I’ve decided to seek lessons elsewhere.

I was finding it difficult using my membership to book swimming sessions at my local Better centre so I asked for help.
Jonathan replied to my call for help and explained what the problem was and also sorted the issue out.
Now I’m up and running and look forward to spending time at the centre.
Thanks Jonathan!
