that gym is a joke! they are a bunch of rip off merchants who also tried to sell me the monthly rolling membership, without mentioning to me at the time that they "accidentally" put it on their system that i was a 12 month contract member, which is cheaper but you have to be there the full year. oh and did i mention that i was paying on DD the more expensive cost? then when i tried to get out of my membership, which i was entitled to do because i was paying extra a month for the option to do so, i got hit with letters from a debt collectors?

i must also mention that when i went to cancell they knew i was on the rolling contract and let me cancel at my local gym no problem and i signed the correct forms too (and luckily kept a copy). it was a month later i recieved two letters from "head office" in england, saying i owed then over £300!!!

of course i didnt pay, and held out protesting my innocence the whole time, until finally 3 months later, 6 visits with members of staff and countless phonecalls to my gym, the head office and the debt collectors, they finally admitted they were wrong, and it was all written off.

i would never go back after what they put me through!

also it is a poser gym for men who can only do weights in mirrors...

couldn't agree more.

AVOID FITNESS FIRST AT CONNSWATER AT ALL COSTS....
I joined and had been a member for 2 years. I cancelled in Jan this year...they kept taking the money from my account in March I stopped it at the bank and they had head office chasing me...then a debt collection agency threatening all sorts BY LETTER TEXTS EVERY DAY ETC ... i tried to cancel at connswater at the beginnig and they said i had to put it in writing which i did to head office....but I did not keep a copy or send recorded...so they didnt stop taking the money from my account....
TOTAL NIGHTMARE....they only care about getting you to sign up and then you can go to hell.....

Thats sucks! . I agree that some of the men think they're gods gift but so what, you get that in all gyms!

I'll be wary though if I ever have to cancel with them ...

miss maid if you ever have to cancell just make sure you keep every single piece of documentation you get from them and copies etc, as that is what saved me, as they had conveniently lost all their copies...
