πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families seeking a characterful pool with consistently high hygiene standards at an affordable membership price. Swimming lessons are available and the Victorian building adds a genuine point of interest for older children. The gym gets warm due to ventilation constraints - factor this in for post-swim workouts.

β€œThe gym’s facilities are excellent, especially considering the affordable membership price. It’s in a convenient location, and the staff are always welcoming and professional, particularly Diana at the desk, who consistently creates a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The classes are also very well run, with the cycle sessions led by Veronica standing out for their energy and quality instruction. Although the gym can get busy at times, the members and staff are always courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for great value and a positive environment.”

β€œVery well maintained pool with a period charm about it. I like the frieze at the deep-end depicting a few swimmers and a Victorian couple surveying the view. The insistence on showering before swimming is very welcome as not all 'Better' pools are so good on this. Minor quibbles amount to personal preference : the pool is a tiny bit too warm and i much prefer open plan showers to the cubicle type though might not be practical given the mixed changing rooms. Would definitely come back if i'm in the area.”

β€œFirst Impression is excellent. I had a tour of the centre today. Zandesha was very thorough and answered all my questions with a positive approach. I'm looking forward to joining the gym soon. The equipment looks good so will transition from my existing gym once I've cancelled my membership. I'll update my post when I've visited and worked out a few times.”
