My husband and I have completed our 3 free sessions in the Move Hub really enjoyed the experience and we are both going to take up regular membership and to continue using the Move hub. We have found all the staff very helpful and friendly made us feel so comfortable and welcome and all very good at looking after us. Well done Reception and cafe staff also helpful and pleasant nothing is too much trouble even when very busy. Well done to all staff doing a good job since re opening.

The revamp is great and the new Abbey adventure is a good addition to the area for children. The issue is that two thirds of the equipment have a very high height restriction enforced by the staff. The minimum height to go on the trampolines is 120cms which seems a bit ridiculous when children have trampolines at home and also another local trampoline park has no height limits. When asked about the limits the staff said that it was the manufacturers recommendation and the council was following that but even the staff themselves felt like this was too strict and had many complaints since opening. Hopefully the council can introduce age restrictions instead of height restrictions as it put a dampener on our time there

Good community gym. Opening times are a bit strange so double check. Not open between 12 and 3. Equipment is good but in short supply. No bench press but a rack and benches you can use. Most equipment available but can get busy and so long waits for things. Good price. Good availablity. Very friendly staff and helpful with everything. I think there's a sauna as well.

The whole place has been refurbished but as a social centre not really a gym anymore.
