Spectacular gym on the way!
I did voice my frustration and dissapointment with the condition of mostly the gym in a review last week. Following this I hade a nose around, and behind bars and barriers can see something spectacular taking shape! It is a pitty that members and the public cannot see what is happening. If they(Better) deliver on the promises, this complex will house the best gym in Surrey! I will give credit when it is due, the outline of new gym looks spectacular!! It's my true observation and looking forward to opening day!! I'm eating humble pie!

Urgent concerns regarding Gym condition
The condition of the gym has reached a dangerous and completely unacceptable state. One of the running machines has been broken for months, with its electronic parts exposed, posing a serious risk. It’s shocking—literally—that this machine is still in use, as touching even sweaty it could result in electric shocks. This is an immediate safety hazard, yet there seems to be no urgency to fix or even cordon off the machine. What’s even more concerning is that late in the afternoon, many children from the nearby schools use the gym. It’s only a matter of time before someone, especially a child, gets seriously hurt or even electrocuted. How is this being allowed to happen in a facility where safety should be the top priority?
Currently, three machines are out of order, and this isn’t just a one-time issue—two of them break down almost every second week. It’s clear these machines are in desperate need of replacement, yet nothing seems to be done about it. Temporary fixes are no longer enough, and the constant breakdowns are severely limiting members' ability to work out properly.
This constant cycle of repairs and malfunctions shows a total lack of long-term maintenance planning. Members pay for a functional gym, not one where equipment is constantly broken or unusable. The need for immediate replacement of these machines is urgent—anything less would be unacceptable.
On top of that, the overall lack of maintenance and cleanliness is unacceptable. Currenttly, the gym is consistently filthy, with machines left unsanitized and floors covered in dirt. The disregard for basic hygiene is bad enough, but when you add the risk of serious injury from broken equipment, it’s clear that the management has completely failed its members.
This level of negligence is beyond frustrating—it’s downright reckless. If something isn’t done immediately, the gym is a serious accident waiting to happen.

Renewing gym membership
I had a problem renewing my gym membership, as Better had taken over from the previous company.
I rang Customer Services and was immediately able to speak to someone, who understood the problem. It involved an exchange of emails, which were responded to promptly, and the problem was resolved the same morning.
It was a pleasant surprise. Couldn't ask for more, so well done.

Attention to maintenance
I had been a few days before and one of my favourite machines wasn’t working very well. When I returned yesterday it was working perfectly which gave me confidence in the maintenance and management of the equipment.

We arrived to be told that my son couldn't have two lessons in a day. The manager then told us a month later that we could. I am still waiting for a refund and have been offered a voucher of half the amount which I don't want.

Good Afternoon Luke,
I acknowledge receipt of your review and would like to extend my apologies for the misinformation provided to you at the centre regarding your child's swimming lessons. I have verified that your child is permitted to have two lessons in a day if necessary, and I regret any confusion this may have caused.
Upon reviewing your child's membership, I have noted the cancellation, and I assure you that the full fees will be reimbursed to you. In order to facilitate the refund process, I kindly request that you complete a refund form to provide us with the necessary bank details for the reimbursement. The link to the form is below.

Hope this helps.

Dear Lkibstinosh,
We appreciate your feedback and want to express our gratitude for taking the time to share your thoughts.
It is with great pleasure that we learn of your positive experience at the Leatherhead Leisure Centre's gym. On the other hand, we are disheartened to hear about the lack of visibility of our Fitness Team during your sessions. Rest assured, we will relay your comments to the center manager to address and ensure the presence of a member of the Fitness Team during Junior Gym sessions going forward.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Catch
My regular gym has changed hand to Better as a management company, I thought nothing changed, no small prints were provided until I got a £3 penalty since I cancelled a booked class not 4 hours ahead. What a catch, not I fear to book any classes since they said cancellation needs paying penalty and refund if it is 4 hours before the class. Is there any gym not capitalism these days.
9 juni 2024
Antwoord van Better - Leatherhead Leisure Centre
Hi Jane,
Thank you for your review.
The penalty fee is there to discourage members from booking and not showing up or if they cancel less than four hours before a session is due to begin, which then means other customers cannot attend.
As our classes are very popular some customer find it difficult to secure a space, so if a customer does book and then doesn't show up, this is unfair on other customers who would have liked to attend that class.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy using your membership.
Warm Regards

Definitely NOT ‘Better’
My membership lasted approximately one week. Faults with gym equipment that had existed under previous management, were still not rectified. People were occupying equipment whilst sitting, staring at their phones - something that doesn’t happen in private gyms. Seats on machines are ripped and tatty.
It was impossible to speak to a manager on site about the issues. After waiting in reception for over 15 minutes for a manager to come down, I resorted to emailing. The automated response advised I would get a reply within 72-hours. Five days later I was still waiting…
The reception staff complained to ME that the managers didn’t carry radios, therefore it was difficult to communicate with them. They explained that they would have to leave the reception to go upstairs and locate a manager. Even the cafeteria owner was stressed because she was in the same predicament, she needed a manager but didn’t want to leave the cafe unattended. What would happen in the event of a serious emergency?
Altogether a very poor performance from the restructuring/new management.

Good Morning Mrs Butcher,
Thank you for your review.
I am very sorry to hear that you have cancelled our membership at the Leatherhead Leisure Centre due to the issues you have mentioned above. Better have recently started to operate the Mole Valley Leisure Centres and any refurbishment of the centres would not happen immediately as these things can take time.
We are also disappointed to hear that you were unable to speak to a manager and your email communication has not received a response. I will ensure to pass on your above feedback for the attention of the centre manager so they can look into the concerns you have raised and try to resolve these in a timely matter.
We cannot offer an immediate solution to each item you have raised, but we appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback. Through feedback, we identify improvement areas and provide a better service.
Kind regards,
Charmaine
Better are discriminating against people with a disabilities
My blind 88 year old mum, who has swum at the Leatherhead leisure centre ( now operated by Better ) for the last 15 years has today been turned away at reception because she did not book on the app in advance.
Up to this point she has always paid on the day by card and is a member of the centre.
Due to her disability she is unable to use a computer.
Clearly this is unacceptable and is prejudice and ageist against people with disabilities.
I felt we should post this to warn other people, of this companies very poor practices.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are disappointed to hear of your mums experience at Leatherhead.
As a company that prides itself on inclusivity we are sad to hear that your mum was unable to book.
I can confirm that I have spoke to the manager at the centre and he has confirmed that, as with all of our centres, we encourage all our customers to book in advance to secure a spot however, you are able to book on the day with a member of the concierge team - providing there are still spaces in the session.
I have sent you a private request so we can get some more information and clear up any confusion in regards to your mums recent visit.
You can also send us an email so we can investigate further. Our email address is; customerservices@gll.org
