Failsworth Sports Centre

Decided to review this sports centre with it being a much lower-​key ‘local’ one than all the big names out there.
It basically offers everything you get from a more premium gym brand like LA Fitness. and the more mid range ones like Pure, except it features a basic style swimming pool without anything fancy like saunas and steam rooms.
The gym is a no-​frills gym in terms of appearance, but is fully kitted out: cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, warm-​up areas, bikes… pretty much every apparatus or machine you need is in here, just a lot less ‘fancy’ than your average gym.
The gym offers classes from pilates, bodypump, yoga and zumba — pretty much a full extensive list. A fully kitted out café area with seating, coffee machines, snacks and protein shakes/​bars is also available here, with another seating area looking out over the swimming pool.
Opening hours let it down for me — 7am — 8pm during the week, which means I go for 40 mins in the morning from 7am, and never really get home with enough time to get a good work out session in before 8pm. Weekends are even worse: 8am — 5pm. These opening times make me miss my Pure membership which was 24 hours…
Another downside is that I pay £23 a month, which was a discounted rate. Slightly pricey for a 12 month contract at a no-​frills gym.
Often fairly quiet which is a bonus.
Nevertheless, when I’m there, it does it’s job.
