Lewisham £20m leisure centre 'one of the worst in London'

What did people expect? A gym with a coffee shop...over-priced with poor equipment and staffed by folks who don't give a shit.

It is SO bad that more than one other gym chain / franchise is prepared to open or operate in very close proximity. That is a sign of complete failure.

I didn't even notice!

Changes may have been made but it simply isn't good enough - at one time since at least half of the gym was not available (floor problems) - and competition in the area grows.

But you need to perform exercise at least 3 times a week - therefore that is a very expensive option!

Yes, it is, hence me looking at it. I can't find the small print though T&Cs with regard minimum contract/subscription.

Thats pretty amazing - i never knew Aladdins Cave was a train station - obvious when you see it
Funnily enough the bit at the bridge in Brockley also used to have a 2nd hand furniture shop right where they showed those stairs but it burned down a a few years ago
