Fast and effective help
Hi - I had a parking charge notice when I shouldn't have (the second recently due to ipads for logging vehicle registrations not being available for a period in March).
On both occasions these problems were dealt with very quickly by the staff and management who contacted Gemini and had the charge cancelled. Many thanks Sam and Siobhan.

Leg press in Llanishen gym is dangerous and way to pricey
I would like to tell you why I cancelled my membership it is because your leg press machine, kept stopping and once I pushed it up all the way it'd feel like it's doubling the weight. Then after 20 reps on my last rep the leg press just collapsed on me.
And now I am severely injured due to that. I have teared my hamstring, and broken all my ligaments around. Also in the gym it's all crampt up together. And only one hip abductor and it's very unsanitary. The prices are absolutely unacceptable £23 a teen and £37 for an adult which some are also £50. Whilst at gym I go to now it's more equipment and a safer environment.
