I was given a gym induction which was both helpful and informative. As well as showing me the various equipment, the instructor listened to what I was saying, and explained how each piece of equipment would help. He found alternatives to receive the same benefits when I struggled with a piece of equipment. He took notice of what I enjoyed. I was given suggestions on how often I would need to train to benefit and given a copy of my training programme. As an older person, I appreciated the time taken and made to feel I was capable of using the equipment, and there would be support there if I needed it.

Hello JC,
I wanted to express our gratitude for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We are thrilled to learn that you are having a positive experience with your membership at The Sands Centre. However, we are disappointed to hear about the issue regarding the cold pool temperature. Rest assured, I will personally ensure that your feedback reaches the centre manager, who will investigate and address this matter promptly. Our goal is to ensure that your future swimming sessions are nothing short of comfortable and enjoyable.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns.
Best regards,
Charmaine

Found it difficult to find anyone to speak to in person initially when looking round before joining. I signed up to my first class and attended, but because I didn't scan my barcode to confirm, which wasn't advised to when I was there, I've been classed as a no show. I now need to pay £3 and can't book anymore classes until I have. Really enjoyed the class and facilities look really good but overall stressful experience so far trying to understand the systems with a lack of guidance from people.
