Great facilities with some major flaws. Poor swimming times three 2 hour slots per day. But it's big clean and never too busy. Gym is brilliant and well managed. Good just wish they're were more swimming times given its not cheap

The gym is really nice and possess great equipment but the nowadays covid policy ruins everything. You only have one hour to train and it’s clearly not enough. I’m in sport major and I can tell you that a proper warm up with cardiovascular activation, articulation mobility and muscle activation must of at least 20 minutes (it can goes to 30 minutes for a complex warm up). And I can’t even count some stretching after your training. It means that after you warm up you only have 30 minutes left and that’s a shame because you can’t do something a lot and enjoy your training well. You can see that everyone didn’t finish their session and that everyone stop in a hurry to go out and let the staff clean. I was shocked about it. The problem with these one hour slot, is that it pushes you to warm up badly and train in a hurry and that is really dangerous on the long term because it increases the risk of injury. I don’t know how sport professional could have approved this measure. To conclude shortly, the gym is well equiped but the one hour slot makes the place disappointing and useless and can even lead to a dangerous way of training.
