Expensive, not particularly clean, not overly friendly, although the reception staff manage a Hello ! Indoor pool cold, hot tub tepid, steam room warm, sauna hot, They tried to sell it last year, did some smarting up, however the monopolies commission put the kaibosh on David Lloyd buying it, as it was to near their other club, and they omitted to say they were wanting to build flats at the marina one ! Oh and car park nearly always almost full, despite them extending it. Anything else you want to know ?

I have not found the car park full since it has been extended. Maybe on football days but I don't go then. You need to pick your times for swimming as lane discipline is not enforced by the life guards i.e often the so called fast lane has extremely slow swimmers in it. Or it is being used for aqua aerobics. Outdoor pool is usually quiet except on the rare occasions when we have a decent summer. There are enough machines so there is never a wait for the treadmills, bikes or cross trainers. Although there may be a wait for some of the weights machines. Changing rooms need a revamp although they say this will be happening. Bar service is quite slow. Instructors for classes vary there are some excellent instructors and some not so good. Popular classes fill up very quickly. The best thing about the club and the only reason I am still a member is the multisports club. This is based at the club and is run by the members so if you like swimming, running and or cycling this is for you. Cannot comment on the tennis. You can always ask them to show you around
