点评:The student membership is great value for money, at £15.50/month. But, this means you have to pay over Christmas, Easter, and the summer holidays when you may not be in Norwich. I have had some back and forth with Sportspark and they do NOT let you cancel your direct debit during the 12-month contract so only gym with Sportspark if you are happy with that. Bear in mind, most people are only at university for 25-30 weeks per year, which essentially doubles the membership fee to around £30.00/month. And then you pay your home gym meanwhile. When you calibrate it, the value for money soon disappears...
One thing I was really annoyed by: you have to pay for the gym induction… After paying an arm and a leg to join up! And no induction, no gym. I think Sportspark should familliarise themselves with ‘drip pricing’ as nowhere when exploring the membership does it stipulate this is an added cost to the consumer.
The staff are nice enough but some can be odd with you, as seen in other reviews. The place isn't the best run, handsoap can go days without being replenished and I had to ask them to do so. When I was being signed up, the member of staff did not seem to know what they were doing. There have been times where I could not find a member of staff in the gym and had to go to reception. The gym gets quite hot in the warmer months, the windows are bolted shut and the air conditioning seems to be on the lowest setting which I appreciate is likely for cost and eco reasons.
There seems to be good communities within Norwich residents and university members.
Waiting times can be ridiculous and have made me end my workout early rather than wait in a queue for a machine, because the gym is far too small for all the memberships it gives out. Their resolve to this seems to be AI posters asking people to work in on the machines. There are not enough lighter dumbbells for a beginner to intermediate level gym, and there is something wrong with the smith machine. It does not feel right at all. The weights area downstairs is nice and private if you need a rack and barbells.
Over-subscription is also seen on University Drive as cars are backed up and cause congestion and blockages to cyclists and motor traffic through campus. The car park barriers have been broken a lot with a poor member of staff stood there in all weathers to let people in.
The climbing wall is great but not included in your membership. I didn't use the pool but this is included.
What Sportspark desperately needs is to knock through a wall and expand the gym. Who builds a massive leisure centre with a tiny corner room of gym?!
I have moved to PureGym for a membership twice the price (this is premium so I can go to multiple sites as I travel a lot, there are cheaper options) as Sportspark, but actual value for money in my eyes. You do not have to wait in queues for machines, you can gym at a time which suits you rather than only between 6am and 4pm and 8pm to closing time, and there is a nice atmosphere, in my opinion.
Freshers be warned of the Sportspark vultures, and consider a cycle to better gyms further a field!
翻译:学生会员套餐性价比很高,每月仅需15.50英镑。不过这意味着在圣诞节、复活节以及暑假期间——也就是你可能不在诺里奇的时候——你也得继续付费。我曾与Sportspark多次沟通,但他们规定在12个月的合约期内不允许取消自动扣款服务。因此,只有当你能接受这一点时才建议选择Sportspark的健身会员服务。另外需要注意的是,大多数学生每年实际上只会在大学待25到30周,这样一来会员费用实际上就翻了一倍,相当于每月约30英镑。每月00元。与此同时,你还得支付家庭健身房的费用。一旦你进行设备校准后,这种“物有所值”的感觉很快就荡然无存了……
有一件事真的让我很恼火:加入健身房后还得另外付费接受入门指导!明明已经花了大价钱才成为会员!不参加入门指导就无法使用健身房。我觉得Sportspark应该了解一下“渐进式收费”这一模式——因为在整个会员注册流程中,压根没有任何地方说明这会是一笔额外的费用。
工作人员还算友善,不过有些人对待顾客的方式有些奇怪。正如其他评论中所提到的,这家健身房的管理并不算好:洗手液常常好几天都不补充,我不得不主动要求工作人员添加。办理会员手续时,工作人员似乎也不清楚自己在做什么。有时我在健身房里找不到工作人员,只能去前台求助。在天气较暖的月份里,健身房里会变得相当闷热。窗户都用插销锁住了,空调则似乎调到了最低档位——我明白这么做很可能是出于成本和环保方面的考虑。
诺里奇的居民和大学师生之间似乎形成了良好的社群氛围。
等待时间常常长得离谱,以至于我不得不提前结束锻炼,而不愿为了使用器械而排队等候。毕竟,这家健身房的规模远远满足不了如此多的会员需求。对于这个问题,他们的解决办法似乎只是张贴一些人工智能生成的海报,呼吁大家自觉使用完器械后让出位置。对于初学者到中级水平的健身者来说,轻重量的哑铃数量不够;另外,史密斯机也有问题,用起来感觉完全不对劲。如果你需要杠铃架和杠铃的话,楼下的负重区环境不错且很私密。
University Drive路段也出现了车辆过度拥挤的情况:车辆排起长队,导致交通拥堵,进而阻碍了校园内的骑行者和其他机动车的通行。停车场的栏杆经常损坏,而一名资质欠佳的工作人员则无论晴雨都站在那里指挥车辆进入。
攀岩墙很不错,但不包含在会员服务范围内。我没去使用游泳池,不过游泳池是包含在内的。
Sportspark最急需做的就是把墙打穿,扩大健身房的面积。究竟是谁会建造一个大型休闲中心,却只留出一个小得可怜的角落当作健身房呢?!我转而选择了PureGym,虽然其会员费是Sportspark的两倍(这属于高级会员套餐,因为我经常出差,这样就能使用多个分店;当然也有更便宜的选项),但在我看来它的性价比确实更高。在这里无需排队等候使用器械,健身时间也完全由自己安排——不必局限于早上6点到下午4点以及晚上8点至闭店时间。在我看来,这里的氛围也很不错。
新生们可要小心那些盯着Sportspark会员的“秃鹫”们哦。不妨骑车去更远的地点,体验更好的健身房吧!
