1610 King Alfred Sports Centre

Fantastic experience: I go to 1610 to play football with a great bunch of friends we are all over 55 so if anyone fancys coming along we at 6.00 clock Thursday evening for a kick about great fun

Fantastic experience: Great gym, everyone there is friendly and it's such a good environment to work out in. I miss going with covid around ):

Fantastic experience: It's full of machines and other

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff

Positive experience: In need of updating

Fantastic experience: It's a good gym, no more said

Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff always willing to help, I try to go at least once a day, sometimes twice. Parking is a little awkward as based in a school so in term time at 7am have to park near the main entrance and walk up. No biggie except when it's pouring down! Gym facilities good but they still lack an ab machine fully 2+yrs after the refurb,, sadly like most oldies that's where I need the help. I have a pretty strict 30 minute regime of cardio up to 150bpm then all of the resistance machines...said because that brings me on nicely to the next point The only negative is other gym users who can sit on machines inactive for minutes at a time engrossed on their phones, no doubt updating their social media status or chatting (playlists don't take that long!) They seem genuinely shocked when I ask them if they're finished. Most say yes and move, occasionally they say no and then start using the machine. Note I'll only do this if it's my last machine to use, so am not a complete dork!. The funniest was a lady who had left her towel on the leg press whilst she used free weights, so I commented that "this wasn't a Turkish resort that she could reserve a seat with a towel...anyway she didn't look German!" :O) Come on people have more respect for other gym users who may not be on the relaxed timescale as yours...thank you Oh, why does the school insist on parking the school buses outside of the gym at evenings/weekends/holidays ??

Positive experience: Ok

Positive experience: Located in King Alfred School so get lots of children in there. Good cardio equipment.

Positive experience: Excellent place for gym and to get extra fitness classes.. The staff is good. I found a few things to improve the cleaning and the sauna is not working.

Fantastic experience: COLD

Positive experience: Not bad facilities but the interior could do with some work especially the sports hall which besides being really scruffy is freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer has a leaky roof and desperatly needs some sort of sound suppression.
