With the new, large lesuire center now built across the road this center offers a cheaper alternative (although still not that cheap!). Beware however I got caught out with being tied into having to pay membership for a year when I moved away- Im not sure if this is still the case now but you should check this. The gym has the usual range of equipment but there is no swimming pool. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the place is clean and tidy.

MarJons is a University College and it has fantastic sport and leisure facilities which are,…read morethankfully, open to the public. The prices are very reasonable and the staff are absolutely lovely. Swimming at MarJons is good, there are always Lifeguards at the pool and they always appear attentive and professional. The pool is a good size and rarely gets overly busy, especially during the summer (non term time) months when the students are away. All the changing rooms and the pool itself are usually clean and lockers are provided (for 20p, which you unfortunately don't get back) Other sports facilities are also good and well priced, badminton is easy to book (you can book in advance, but i personally have never done this) as they have a nice amount of courts. Also, the squash facilities are fine, though they are completely enclosed by solid walls (as opposed to having a glass wall at the back) which is a shame and can sometimes get slightly claustrophobic. Generally though, it's a lovely place and well worth the money, only misses out on 5 stars because it's starting to look slightly dated, it could do with a nice make-over.
