Brian up the hill

Having used the gym regulary (1-3 times a week) since October, I have always found the staff, both in the gym and on reception very polite, friendly and helpful. I do admit it seems odd that the water fountains have been out of action since December but as I also use a gym near work which is in the London Fitness Network, I have to say that Dulwich knocks spots off it! I have never had a problem with machines although evenings can be very busy - as they are in any leisure centre or gym. The only problem I have is that I can't swipe my card and have to wait for the gate to be opened for me by the reception staff but invariably the queue grows as the front customer asks an increasingly long and inane set of questions - naturally, oblivious to those waiting behind them. All in all , I think the new gym a real asset to the area and I value having it close by.
