It is extreemly hot and these is no air conditioning in the activity room.
The week before no one turned up to take pilates after everyone had booked on. Many people drive quite a distance to attend which is a waste of time and money (this was not the first times this had happened)

Hi Louisa
Thank you for your review.

Your feedback has been passed on to the General Manager at the Whitehaven Sports Centre to review, and we hope this will assist in improving your experience with us.
