Anyone else had problems getting full statements out of Dental Beauty? We are happy with them generally but my partner has had a lot of treatment recently and needs the statements to put in an insurance claim. Every time she has to chase them for the statement - they tend to say they are too busy to do it at the time, but they are never too busy to take payment. And yes, my partner has taken it up with them but its hard to discuss billing matters when your mouth is numb from extensive root canal surgery! I've suggested next time she should say she is witholding payment until they have statement to issue, but she's seen Marathon Man and doesnt want to make them angry. -
I've been a member for many years (through 3 different organisations running it..) and a regular attendee of the gym though not the classes. I'm REALLY REALLY disapointed that it now feels very much geared toward weights and strength training with the cardio machines cut down considerably in number (only about 5 or 6 X trainers..I had to wait to use one) running machines halved in number and a lot of wasted space. Also I thought the actual cardio machine I did use was pretty rubbish (It felt like something from Argos) and not by one of the well known gym equipment brands that I've used in other gyms..also no screen display settings so you can 'run on a beach' etc. And the Wifi still was'nt linked to machines so no youtube netflix etc. I felt the gym seemed less inclusive the ab crunch has gone, seated row gone, the seated machine you make cycling movements with your arms, gone...these are all machines I see older members using, I did'nt notice if the recumbent bikes had gone or the two step machines, the ski-movement x trainers of which there were 2 have also gone My general impression was that these was a distinct scarcity of weight based machines and the focus was very much on free weights with this taking up the majority of the space. BECAUSE ITS A COUNCIL RUN GYM SURELY WITH THE AGING POPULATION AND OBESITY CRISIS THE EQUIPMENT IN SUCH A LARGE FLOOR SPACE SHOULD OF A RANGE THAT CAN BE USED BY OLDER AND LESS FIT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY?! Kings hospital used to bring groups to the gym to use the use the cardio equipment-I don't know what they'll use now? I raised concerns about the majority of the space being used for free weights when I saw the plans and asked for member feedback prior to the refurb, I must have been in the minority I guess. I was also suprised that the changing area is still the same and looking pretty tired. I felt that with all this new equipment they should have had lots of visible staff on the floor helping people get to understand settings and so forth. I wish Everyone active still ran the gym..in my experience they were the best. But having really looked forward to the reopening I found it a real let down☹️ In a nutshell if you want a muscle gym its great and I understand there will soon be a boxing area-I was not told that there would be more cardio machines coming. -

I've been training with the wonderful Marisa at Gokay's Fitness Hub for the last few months and have seen really significant improvements in my strength and have regained a lot of lost body confidence. I feel really happy abd energised at the end of each session. One of the side benefits of the Fitness Hub is the sense of community there, the group classes are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! 👌 👍😀
