Often I cry at the squat rack so if you see me just give me a moment please. I often tell friends when I turn up to coffee with my eyes swollen and red that someone urinated in the pool again but they know I've been crying again.

As part of Liverpool Council's Lifestyles range of sports centres and gyms, you can see the money…read moreand effort that has been put into this place to bring it into the 21st Century and make it an integral part of the community. The centre has been here for nearly 30 years and was greatly underused except for the many football parties I went to as a kid! Now the gyms are kitted out with state of the art gear, there are regular fitness classes for all levels in the sports hall, two decent sized astro-turfs can be found at the front - and if they are not being used by the local kids they seem to attract a lot of 5-a-side - and a good size pool with sauna and steam room. I can't really knock the place because it is well cheap and is obviously doing a very good job at placing itself at the heart of the Garston community, however, this also measn that the place can be very busy at peak times and it is often very hard to judge when it will not be full of kids! The pool always seems to have school groups or out of hours swimming clubs. While this commendable they also seem to find their way into the gym and will often hang around - or off - much of the equipment! But there is a waterslide!

David Lloyd's is the best gym money can buy. The facilities are second to none across all David…read moreLloyd's across the country and this one is no different. I could rattle through the facilities but I won't. What I will say is that they include 12 tennis courts, 6 inside and 6 outside as well as two large swimming pools, one inside one outside. Every time I set foot inside this gym I feel like a kid in a candy store. There is so much to do and it's so spacious it is a perfect environment to workout. However it is very pricey, and from experience it is notoriously difficult to cancel your membership. The amount of money you pay on a monthly basis you'd have to practically live there to get your money back. Verdict I'd say this is a quality gym, but overpriced!!!

OK, first things first, David Lloyd is a very, very expensive gym. Over £100 per month for our…read morefamily!!! BUT, the gym section is as good as I have ever seen. The tennis courts look great (but I haven't tried them yet). The changing rooms are spotlessly clean. The pool is large and rarely busy and there is an outside pool. The real advantage is that there are plenty of activities for our three-year old son and a friendly creche available several days per week.

The gym in particular has state of the art equipment enabling you to benefit an ultimate fitness experience. I have only been to Peter Lloyd swimming baths once, which was about 6 years ago. At that time, all I could remember was that it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences as there were plenty of wild children jumping in and out of the pool. Pool attendants did monitor them but I felt they could have been stricter. The pool wasn't the biggest either and it rather felt like I was in a playground with rowdy kids. In terms of the changing rooms, these did not offer much privacy as they hardly had separate cubicles and it did not offer much space. 6 years on, it looks slightly improved by the website photos which I hope is more encouraging.
