Not worth the money
The Better app and their entire system is pretty bad, booking is confusing, app is slow, there are fees for every single thing you can think of.
The location I am a member of is even worse than that. It's the dirtiest, most unmaintained gym I've been to. I stopped using the locker rooms completely because they are straight out disgusting, not to mention that you have to be lucky to even get any hot water in the shower. Equipment is old, rusty, frequently broken. Every single area in the gym is untidy, the behavior of people is many times hostile or unfriendly and the staff does anything about it, which is not surprising because they are unfriendly themselves. And the best thing is that you get all this for a price higher than any other gym in the area, including nice gyms with high-end equipment and great management. Unfortunately it's the only gym in the area so most people going there have no other choice if they want to exercise.

Your feedback will be shared with our management team to address these problems promptly. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to make things right.

Centre was extremely dirty today
Centre was extremely dirty today. Entrance, changing area and steam room. I was in very early, (6.45 am) and there was food on the floor in the steam room. A few of the white chairs were dirty. Everything else was fine.

Hi Carol-Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues you encountered during your visit to the Moss Side Leisure Centre, especially so early in the morning. This is certainly not the standard we aim to maintain, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
We have shared your comments with our cleaning team to ensure that these areas—particularly the entrance, changing area, and steam room—are thoroughly checked and cleaned before opening each day. Your comfort and experience are important to us, and we’ll do our best to prevent this from happening again.
Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back soon under better conditions.
Kind regards,
Charmaine

Women only sessions but men are roaming around despite the signs
It is meant to be women-only sessions. But the males are frequently seen in the changing rooms and they have a look around as well. The life guard sitting by the pool is also male all the time. The temporary instructor was way nicer and helpful than the actual instructor now. To be fair there were a few more new learners today and the pool felt crowded. Otherwise sessions are alright.

My daughter has not swam once ever…
My daughter has not swam once ever since I paid for her swimming classes, there’s no communication whatsoever and it’s different stories for every week I take her on how she can’t swim. From mixing up the times to not communicating properly. Because of this I would like a refund because not once have k received the service I’ve paid for.

My son came here for his Junior gym induction the other day and came away really enthusiastic and ready to getting going! His gym instructor Tommy, was really helpful, really explained everything perfectly and my son (who's never done any gym work before) can't wait to get started at his first session. Thanks so much.
