phoenix leisure centre and library

As well as this place being a gym it also has a library which is hidden upstairs from the main reception. And downstairs there is a mini café and a large seating area.
Every Tuesday morning there is a local market held in the centre which sells food, clothing, household goods and many more items at affordable prices.
The car park has plenty of car park spaces and even if that does become full you have plenty of off street parking, and even if you don’t travel by car there is a bus stop directly outside the centre.
I’ve only visited this gym in the mornings but considering I’m there early in the morning the staff are friendly, welcoming and even can crack a joke! The gym prides itself on the security and cleanliness as there are security cameras everywhere and a cleaner who is always whizzing around with her trolley cleaning. I swear in one corridor I must of seen 6 cameras on the ceiling!
The changing room is clean, has several long mirrors and small and large lockers with access to the showers which has three assisted showers as well as 8 cubical showers, and this is just the women’s changing room. I can imagine the men’s changing room is like for like.
There is a large hall with is divided when classes are booked, mainly used for badminton, tennis, even trampolining. There’s a exercise room where they normally hold aerobic, body pump, yoga, Pilates, Zumba classes. There are a lot more classes but you will need to check out the timetable on the website.
Then there is the gym. It is smaller than you expect when you see the size of the building but you have a view of the car park and their exercise machinery is slowly modernising to the standard of their other centres. I’ve never had an issue fighting to get into machinery as the gym is never busy and the regulars that go there is a wide range of ages and all at different levels of fitness! So don’t worry it’s not your typically tanned and toned gym goers and it’s also not a fashion parade, you can feel comfortable here working off a sweat and stretching in your Lycra!
The free weights section is small but there are a good number of different exercise machines and a small area for stretching.
