At times I had to wait outside his private gym in cold as he was easily 5 to 10 minutes late and not very professional about it and showing little to no care attitude, once even he cancelled the session in the last minute when I was waiting out side his gym and waiting for him to let me in and only then I received a text that he is out of town and couldn't inform me before as his mobile battery was low, he told me this in a very unapologetic and as unprofessional way as possible. I had a plan for a holiday which i discussed with Marco from the very beginning and in the end he told me that lots of sessions has been missed because of my holiday plan. I still have two session left with him which I wanted to have a refund for as I was literally feeling not motivated because of Marco's work ethic and also there was no contract signed, and he told me that he wont refund any money, instead asked more money to book more sessions with him. Extremely unprofessional attitude overall and seemed unconcerned about the clients progress and motivation. If anyone wants to waste money and lose any motivation then definitely Marco is your guy.

I recently attended a fancy dress birthday party that took place at the Marine Football Club in…read moreCrosby. I am in no way a football fan, so I can say nothing about the sports side of this facility, but I can safely say what I know about the party venue and the bar inside. To be honest, this place is a bit dingy. I'm sure that's partly because it's old and sadly in need of a remodel, but as I dressed up as a hippy and was therefore barefoot in this establishment for a couple of hours, I was not impressed to return home and find my feet were quite dirty. A risk I knowingly took, of course, but I think the custodians here could afford to spend some quality time with a carpet shampooer. The bar staff were friendly, and seemed to enjoy my American accent rather than be offended by it, which is always a pleasure. The drinks were inexpensive, and there was a fairly decent variety available, although, again, sadly not a cocktail friendly place. (Sigh.) For the party I attended, the room was set up with dozens of small round tables with generally four chairs to a table. There was a buffet set up on the stage area. This is not a bad venue if you need a room for a large party or dance. It just really needs an update, that's all.

The Club celebrated its centenary in 1994 having been formed by a group of local businessmen and former college students taking its name from the hotel on the River Mersey sea front at Waterloo, seven miles to the north of Liverpool where the founders met. They moved to their present ground The Arriva Stadium (formerly known as Rossett Park) in 1903. Marine quickly made an impression on local football, winning numerous titles in the I Zingari League and the Liverpool Combination. Their greatest success as an amateur team in this period culminated in an F.A. Amateur Cup Final appearance in 1931/32, when they lost 7 1 to Dulwich Hamlet in front of a 22,000 crowd at West Ham United. In 1946 they went close again by reaching the semi-final. In 1935/36 they moved to the all-professional Lancashire Combination and enjoyed limited success before moving to the Cheshire County League in 1969/70. In 1972 Roly Howard was appointed first team manager(Is it only rumour that Roly was Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner) and completed 1,975 competitive games over a 33 year period before retiring at the end of the 2004/05 season. He was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the longest serving manager in world football as Marine enjoyed its most successful period winning some 30 trophies. The Club relinquished its amateur status and became professional in 1974. Three Cheshire League Championships were won in five seasons before progressing to the Northern Premier League in 1979/80. They have twice been Champions (1993/94 and 1994/95) as well as twice being runners-up and have won the League Cup on three occasions (1984/85, 1991/92, and 2002/03). The best performance in the F.A. Cup was reaching the 3rd Round in 1992/3 when they lost 3-1 to Crewe Alexandra. Marine have also achieved ten first and two second round appearances in the FA Cup and have beaten two Football League Clubs (Barnsley and Halifax Town) in the competition. Marine have twice reached the semi-finals of the F.A. Trophy in 1983/84 and 1991/92 and have been winners of 13 senior county cups. Under the new management team of Alvin McDonald and his assistant, Peter Carroll, Marine have begun to challenge for honours again. In the past two years the Mariners have qualified for the UniBond Premier play-offs only to lose to the eventual winners on both occasions. Last season Marine finished seventh and won the Liverpool Senior Cup. A lovely well run club so if you can't get to the 'big boys' then have a look in at College Road, you might get hooked.

I come to Sugden fairly often, mainly to play badminton with my friends. I must say that prices for…read morebadminton courts are very reasonable, but I don't find the service much good. Once all the fields were taken, even if we had booked one and we were there on time, yet no one was there to check that players were respecting their times. Lockers are provided to drop your stuff, but you have to pay 20p to use one. I considered signing to Sugden just after moving to Manchester because it's very close to uni. Therefore I took their gym induction to give a look at the place and at the machines. The gym is ok, not very big to tell the truth. I was actually rather disappointed with the induction itself, cause it lasted only five minutes, the instructor just hastily showed us the rooms, we didn't even have time to try any machines. Also, we were more than ten people taking the induction, and I was expecting something more serious and personalized since I was paying for it.

There are loads of sports halls and courts and stuff here, so lots of space to do whatever sport you're into - be that squash, badminton, basketball, circuit training, etc. If you're playing badminton like we do, then it costs just over a fiver to hire a court for an hour once you're a member. This isn't too expensive, especially when it's split between the two of us. The one thing that annoys me here just a tiny bit is the fact that you have to pay 20p for a locker and you don't get it back. It's quite cheeky to get you to pay for the privilege of having your stuff safe whilst you're exercising. Surely, after membership and court hire, that should just be a given.

For the money we paid we were able to use the all the facilities. They offer a £1 burger me on Fridays where you pay a couple pounds for a whole meal. It's definitely worth the money. It's a very pretty place and the location is phenomenal. There is a 15 minute walk to some absolutely lovely shops and cafes. My personal favourite is the fresh cafe apposite the Istanbul grill. If you want a brilliant experience don't just run to the costa down the road. It's a lovely family-run business that's great in terms of service and quality. I loved the smoothies there.

The rooms are clean and spacious with lovely brightly lit bathrooms for getting ready. The pool and spa area is all included in the price and is really well set up. Got little areas in the pool with loungers and trees as though you are on holiday, spacious sauna and steam room, two jacuzzi and very family friendly with a child's pool. Seating area in reception is inviting with a log fireplace and sofas. Provides a bar/restaurant and a starbucks to meet variety of needs. It is a £20 taxi into Manchester but worth a stay even if not visiting the town.
