To save anyone else from psyching themselves for the gym and going there today (Sunday) don't bother because it's closed. On Thursday it suffered roof damage in the storm, tomorrow someone's coming out to look at it so they can't say how long it's closed for until after it's been looked at. There is Harris Academy gym over the on the other side of the rye that Fusion members can use, details here


You can call the Dulwich Fusion on 020 8693 1833 to find out the latest, go for option 5 to speak to reception but be prepared to be told numerous times by the automated answer phone system that "your correspondent is unavailable"

If you hear how long the gym and pool are going to be closed for please post it on here. Yesterday I tried calling numerous times to see what the inspection revealed and how long these council facilities will be closed for and I couldn't get through. I expect the staff were unable to answer the phone because they were so busy using this opportunity to clean up the machines, mend the headset units, tune in the TVs properly, repair the lockers, clean up the changing units and scrub the algae off the pool side. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.


Added 09:30 They're waiting for the structural engineers to come and look at the roof, some of the glass panels going down the length of the gym came in so they need to check if anymore are damaged. They're in the hands of council workmen who are looking at it with the priority it deserves.

Thanks Mark for the heads up!


I've been feeling very porky indeed since Christmas and was thinking of rejoining Fusion in an attempt to stave off my paunch! And I'm far too much of a wuss to run in freezing cold rain.


What a pity - I hope they manage to fix it all soon (although the fabric of the entire building needs lots of TLC).


I liked Fusion; it is not exclusive, the staff are lovely, the gym equipment was good, the fees were reasonable, (compared with ritzier places) and the womens hangingroom/shower was perfectly fine. It is ideally placed for a really good fitness centre, so I hope they get back on track soon.

(my blog:- Posh Mum)

just had a call from the gym cancelling yet another class tonight - the gym is apparently re-opening on March 5th and the pool "about" 2 weeks later. Or it could be the other way around. or not. or maybe no-one knows down there?


Anyway, apparently a sign will be placed out the front when it looks like they have settled on a date and the fees will only be taken out pro-rata. apparently.

...and as the roof's in a dangerous condition, no-one's been allowed on the gym floor to refurbish, mend or clean the equipment. Pleas can no-one go to the Waverly gym tonight as I would like to use it and there ain't enough room for the two of us.
  • 3 weeks later...
Yes, it's the 5th of March and so I called the gym to check that it's open as they said it would be. And it's not, the pool's open, but the gym's not. They say it'll be open on Wednesday. That means it's been closed for seven whole weeks, I do hope they haven't taken money out of my account for that seven weeks worth of gym membership.

Even better - though for some reason I remembered it being a ?5m budget to include other projects but ?2m going to ED leisure centre...maybe ?5m just seemed to good to be true!

Would love to know when it's going to be ready, it should achieve a nice balance between improved local facilities without a socially divisive 'posh gymn' opening in the area.

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that
