After hearing a lot about this gym I decided to try it myself and it was better than I imagined…read more They have TVs and radios in all their cardio machines! I take full advantage of this and watch and listen to a variety of shows. The gym is quiet small but is excellent for what it is. The only thing I found a bit worrying was the fact that I didn't have an induction so it was lucky I've used all the machines before, elsewhere. Unfortunately they only have one of every toning and muscle building machine so you may wait a while if someone is on a one you want to use. On the other hand they have state of the art equipment. So you might be thinking this must cost a lot? The member ships start at forty five pounds a month and fifteen pound for each visit without a membership. The price includes swimming and the sauna and steam room. It also includes all their classes such as spin and yoga. So this offer was too good to refuse for me!

I would almost put it on par with much large chain gyms, in addition the swimming pool is a good size and the jacuzzi is very large. Throw in a steam room and a sauna plus a full spin studio and 2 aerobics rooms and you have everything you need. Memberships is relative but cheaper than many local gyms and for £10 a month you can upgrade to the black card giving you a towel every time you go and also access to all other Village Gyms. I am impressed but I will say it is due a refit soon so hopefully it will get even better.

It's a huge gym with great facilities and ample equipment to accommodate all users during peak times. It is well maintained and clean. Like I said, I don't exercise much. However I went with my sister who is a fitness freak and made the silly mistake of trying to keep up with her...I felt as though I was blacking out so went to the changing rooms where I eventually fainted. I woke up with two staff members next to me who offered me a drink, a comfortable room to rest and called for my sister. I was embarrassed beyond belief but they were so helpful that I felt the need to write this review. You're guaranteed superb service at this gym!

Holy cow, what an amazing gym! This place is the Mother Lode of fitness, an absolutely enormous…read morespace with a plentitude of fit and healthy things to eat, do and see. The racquetball/squash courts (of which there are five!) are of varying sizes, designed for pairs or singles. The tennis court area (indoors) is extremely large, with 6 courts and two small practice areas. The pool is really pretty, very nice, with gorgeous deckchairs all around, a lifeguard on staff, and pretty blue and white tiles. There is also an outdoor pool for the warm weather (or stiff of loin and strong of heart), with a small kiddie pool and a larger pool. Both pools have a section for mucking about, and a roped off area for swimming laps. There is a lifeguard outside too. Then there are the jacuzzis (two of them), three steam rooms and a similar number of saunas. There are masseurs on staff all the time, and a sports therapist you can see for deeper injuries/problems. The restaurant serves a full compliment of food, from traditional English pub grub to posh sandwiches, breakfast, and plenty of healthy options. Unfortunately, the food is crap. This stuff is bad, frozen, pre-cooked stuff that comes out cold. Twice eating here, and the last time was definitely my last. It takes about 30 minutes once the food is ordered for it to come out, which is horrendous for a place with five visible staff members in the restaurant, and only 10 covers. It must have been sitting on the side for about ten minutes, getting cold and soggy. So totally disappointing. But I guess if you're in need, it'll have to do! The staff at this DL are really really nice, helpful, polished and professional. This is a tremendous gym, with lots of sexy, fit people, and you should go there to get the same, if you aren't already.

In desperate need of a little pampering, I visited the Ocean Rooms Spa (Livingwell) yesterday. I…read morewas booked in for a back massage and facial from 2.30pm so I arrived shortly before 1pm to take advantage of the facilities which were available for two hours before my appointment time. The spa is a lovely place mainly due to the glass domed roof (it feels like summer even on a freezing March afternoon!). It was not too busy and I easily found a sunlounger to relax on. After a little swim, I was pleased to find that the steam room and sauna were extra hot too. The staff at the spa were lovely, including the therapist who completed my treatments. She asked lots of questions to make sure she understood exactly how I liked my massage, and proceeded to deliver it perfectly. Similarly, my facial was luxurious. My only complaint would be that they were a little short (only 50 minutes for both treatments). Overall, a very pleasant experience. Although I was a little miffed at the £6 parking charge.

Not happy Mr Bannatyne!…read more Booked a spa "day" at the "Sensory spa" here with my cousin for her birthday and felt I badly let her down. It should not be advertised as a spa, it's mostly just a gym with a couple of spa facilties attached. No dressing gown and fluffy slippers. No toiletries to use! There is a gym - like I want to go to one of those when I'm having a chilled out day - a dry sauna, steam room and a jacuzzi and pool. And that is it. How you can spend a whole day here I don't know. The worst part however was the food. Dreadful! Very limited vegetarian options, so I asked for a cheese and mushroom omlette instead of the cheese and tomato one which was on the menu, but was told they were pre made and I couldn't have one with mushrooms in. How hard is it to make an omlette! When it arrived, it was microwaved - burnt around the edges and rubbery and cold in the middle. But it had taken so long to arrive - considering we were the only people in there - that we ate them anyway as we were so hungry. Will never be going back there again.
