LADIES BEWARE. I was touched inappropriately by Tony and when I said that area does not need…read moremassaged repeatedly, he laughed, stopped for awhile and kept doing it again. For obvious reasons i want to remain anonymous and the purpose of this review is to prevent more women from going through what I was put through and what I have heard other women have gone through. Here are the details of the horrible experience: I went to Tony for a sports massage which involved a back, shoulder, neck and pec massage. I have been for hundreds of massages in my life, both sports and therapeutic and know what to expect from each. The massage started off with my back and neck which was ok, and then my pecs. Initially he started of within the appropriate boundaries for pec massage, but later started 'massaging' my breast (he got as low as just above my nipple and the top of my nipple was revealed). I then told him that that area does not need massaged ie telling him to stop, after which his response was to laugh. At this point I was afraid and did not know what to do and thought that by warning him off once he will not do it again and will be more professional. He stopped temporarily but then returned to the area repeatedly. This happened at least 3-4 times, each time I told him no. His approach was different at each attempt. ( He approached from the armpit down to the lateral side of my breast just next to my nipple, and the other approach was he massaged from the front and subtly cupped my breast). All of these approaches were subtle, but obviously crossing the line as these areas are definitely no go areas during any massage. This was a traumatising and distressing situation of which I did not know how to react to. It took me months to write this review as I have been chatting to other sports therapists and trainers whose customers have reported similar experiences to them while dealing with Tony. This made me realise that its important for me to say something. I'm from Belfast, not San Francisco as yelp seems to think btw.

No great hardship I suppose. They sell all manner of sports and outdoorsy stuff for adults and kids. I tend to get my gym gear there, often in the sale and usually pay around £20 for really good USA Pro bottoms and £10 for a top. And it lasts for ages even after being constantly washed. I also take the kids there for football boots, tennis racquets and mouth guards (which seem to be swallowed up into some black hole on a weekly basis). They give 10% discount to pupils of some Belfast schools so it's worth asking if your kids' school is one of them. There's a large range of Canterbury tops and bottoms. Canterbury is the must have casual brand these days and pretty expensive, but Podium often have reductions going on which is when I but a few pieces. If you need trainers, Podium is a good place to head to as they have a huge range and the staff actually know which shoe is best for different types of sport. My next purchase is going to have to be the dreaded football kits for my 2 boys. What on earth is the attraction of over priced nylon shorts and tops in lurid colours? Clearly a boy thing.

I never have much luck with Ticketmaster online so this is handy. If you are a frequent customer they offer a 10% loyalty card that you just show at the till for extra bargains!

It's deceivingly large and stocks the largest range of EPL football shirts I have ever seen. There also seems to be a real focus on local sports too with Antrim GAA and Ulster Rugby tops among those on sale! When I was in it seemed well staffed - I was asked on a few occasions if I wanted help but I was just having a wee nosey! Nice addition to Victoria Square and a great look and feel about it!

However if normal gyms intimidate you, this may be your starting place. It's small and quite and no judgments over your work out. They provide some great classes with positive and helpful teachers. Yoga here is especially excellent. I have been to a few yoga classes in my time and I've learnt more here than anywhere else. Good practical tips and they don't push you belong your limits. The pool is small with no deep end. But its perfect the for a morning swim. Again it's a bit run down, which can be a tad frustrating considering this isn't a cheap gym. The hallway to the pool constantly smells bad. The showers and changing rooms are clean, but old. Most keys have lost the scrappy bit for your arm so bring a pin as well as your pound to pay for them. Personally I am willing to put up with all the negatives as this gym as what's most important to me, a pool I can do lengths in with no interruption and no que for machines!
