Things to consider
- During term-time is usually busier than non-term time. Be courteous and work in with others.
- Try visiting during off-peak hours to reduce the time you wait for equipment. Mornings are great.
- Consider our extensive group fitness timetable of classes as an alternative for cardio or weights.

Feedback and suggestions
How can I ask a training question?
Use the same process as above or if you have a specific training question:
- Approach a fitness consultant during their morning or evening shifts, or
- Email our Fitness, Facilities & Systems Team Leader and your query will be directed to a trainer to respond. If you provide your phone number, we can call you and talk it through.
