Above expectations
Since its recent refurbishment, the new Gym has plenty of equipment for everyone.
Treadmills, steppers, rowers and much more wether you want a simple bit of exercise or full blown workout.
Add a great Sauna, Steam Room, Indoor and Outdoor pools (great in the Summer) with loungers - it really has something for everyone - whatever your age or healthiness.
Limited membership means most of the time - access is good to all areas

A deserted oasis

Above expectations
The Abbey Lawn hotel is a 3 star coaching hotel with a gym, 2 pools, sauna and steam room. you can join the health club as a non resident and have access from 6am, til 9pm.
Its great all the CV machines have individual TV screens and you can watch freeview TV programs to make the hours stomping off the pounds go by a bit easier.
There has been a recnt refit and the number of machines has been greatly increased. The club has a fitness instructor on hand and the thing i like best is that it a non competitive atmoshere. The age range of the users goes right up to the 70+ and there are very few muscle heads pumping several tonnnes of iron to put you off. Changing rtooms are small and more than 3 in the male changing makes it quite cramped but the main beauty of this place is that for most of the day it is deserted !!
The outdoor pool is unheated so only for the brave, but in the summer its a real sun trap and a great place to chill out.
