Great facilities at a reasonable price
Great facilities at a reasonable package price. However the air conditioning in in the fitness studio at York stadium is inadequate which means if you work out hard it can make you feel faint - if the temperature of the studio was sorted it would get full marks!

Disabled Parking is definitely an issue…
Disabled Parking is definitely an issue on a night as people who are not disabled and come to use the football pitches Park in these spaces, resulting in actual disabled people not being able to park anywhere. This is a real issue. Nothing is ever done about it, even though many complaints over this are received.

Mixed review
Better has been a good company in terms of value for money, however unused months are still charged and are almost impossible to get refunded without a Dr's note (if you can even get to see a doctor for chronic pain) so they lose points for me on that front, however customer service canceled my membership permanently with no fuss and were efficient in doing so.

Dear Hannah,
Thank you for your review.
We are pleased to learn that you perceive our memberships as providing good value for the included activities. However, we regret to hear that you have had to cancel your membership due to health-related issues. We would like to inform you that we can assist with a refund for medical reasons, provided that you submit the necessary medical documentation from your general practitioner or the relevant hospital.
This documentation is essential for ensuring that we refund the appropriate amount, calculated from the date your health condition arose.
We apologise for any inconvenience this process may cause; however, it is aligned with the protocols established by our refunds team. We are also gratified to know that our Customer Service Team successfully facilitated the immediate cancellation of your membership to prevent further charges.
We wish you a swift recovery and hope that you will be able to resume your health and fitness pursuits in the near future.
Sincerely,
Charmaine
