I paid a £30 gym membership
I paid a £30 gym membership, but it's limited outside of peak hours. I went on Monday at 6 PM and they refused to let me in. I don't know why, but my experience with them was bad.

Changing rooms
The staff at reception and in the gym are really friendly & helpful, however, the changing rooms could be cleaner & more functional. I would like the facility to put membership on hold & would like a greater range of classes, such as pilates & Les Mills Balance.

Please clean the toilet areas and shower cubicles
I go only to the pool at Penrith to swim for fitness. Good choice of times, helpful staff. But the cleaning regime in the ladies toilets is woeful. In particular the shower in the ladies toilets that I would like to use is horrible, walls covered in mould and flaking paint. I did mention this to reception back in Spring and yesterday took photographs which I plan to show to reception next time.
Water is cold but I understand need to economise. But the lack of cleanliness is off putting.
