It?s busy because it?s a great facility ? a newly refurbished council gym that you can use on a pay as you go basis is a rarity in London. I go (not as often as I should) at different times, and while I?ll sometimes have to wait for the specific machine I want it?s rare it?s for any longer than a couple of minutes. Yes you have to book ahead for classes but again they are PAYG and of a pretty decent standard. I?ve booked the ones I like and it?s never been at 6am The gym management aren?t greedy ? anyone can pop in at any time and I?d hate to see that change. Gyms aren?t really meant for marathon runners anyway, doing 3 hours on a treadmill would be bonkers. Sometimes people can just get a bit too moany ? the gym had a few issues with classes and instructors at the beginning of the year and they apologised and gave out free passes to compensate. It?s not their fault we?ve all cottoned on to how good it is since the refurbishment....
