点评:After months of facilities being closed due to some sort of routine maintenance (the pool is currently closed again) the gym floor has received a make over. This itself is quite nice, however when I went the gym floor it was full of people sitting on equipment, taking pictures of themselves and reading social media, meaning they're using / blocking equipment at peak times. As someone else has mentioned there is a real lack of staff on the gym floor (perhaps that would help free up equipment?) and it is almost impossible to book classes (the yoga classes I attended were great but it's not possible to consistently book the same weekly class due to over subscription at the club). It is also a shame and worth noting that a number of good personal trainers at the Club have all left and gone elsewhere (non-Virgin gyms).
Whilst the gym floor upstairs has received a makeover the changing facilities and showers are now shabby and dated, and they also need more family room changing facilities for parents who bring their kids along to the club. The sauna and spa pool are a nice touch, however due to the over influx of members (especially since the gym refurb) it can be difficult to get into the sauna. Parking can also be a problem at peak times and is virtually impossible on a Saturday morning in my experience. It should also be noted that the hours the club are open is not as good as a number of their competitors. I have been a member for a few years now but feel I've had enough, so have now cancelled my membership and look forward to leaving in the next couple of months.
翻译:由于例行维护,健身房设施关闭了几个月(目前泳池再次关闭),现在健身房终于翻新了。翻新本身很不错,但我去的时候,健身房里挤满了人,他们坐在器械上自拍、刷社交媒体,这意味着他们在高峰时段占用/堵塞了器械。正如其他人提到的,健身房工作人员严重不足(也许人手充足能腾出一些器械?),而且几乎不可能预订到课程(我上的瑜伽课很棒,但由于俱乐部爆满,无法每周都预订到同样的课程)。同样令人遗憾的是,俱乐部里一些优秀的私人教练都离开了,去了其他健身房(非维珍集团旗下的健身房)。
虽然楼上的健身房已经翻新,但更衣室和淋浴间现在却破旧不堪,而且俱乐部也需要为带孩子来的家长提供更多的家庭更衣室。桑拿房和水疗池确实不错,但由于会员人数激增(尤其是在健身房翻新之后),桑拿房经常爆满。高峰时段停车也很困难,就我的经验而言,周六早上几乎找不到停车位。另外值得一提的是,这家俱乐部的营业时间不如一些竞争对手。我已经在这里办了几年会员了,但现在感觉受够了,所以已经取消了会员资格,并期待在接下来的几个月内离开。
