Kingfisher gym breaffy

in my opinion the gym needs a few things fixed/improved.
I complained recently about the following
1. some male showers not working
2. the tvs in the gym are a disaster,half with no buttons and about 2 remotes for twenty tvs! should just 3/4 large flat screens
3. no bike rack
4. MUSIC in the gym, who wants to listen to planet rock, music should be motivational and fast paced not english traffic reports

Will be interesting to see what changes

I'm also a member out there, it in need of some TLC
- the car park is a right mess
- mens showers still not fixed
- no bike rack
- stil listening to planet rock and stupid english traffic reports
- tvs are still a disaster

If ALL these issues arent sorted wont be renewing my membership which is up soon :rolleyes:

well i brought my kid to mulroys gym last week for swimming lessons. i was there for two hours everyday, and i was really impressed with it. the staff actually know most of the members by name, check in to see how their getting on. i saw one staff girl going through stretches and stuff with a customer, and she seemed so interested???? i have been a member of kingfisher/breaffy house gym twice, and to this day they still had no idea who i was, and there was never a member of staff in the gym to ask anything of????

very interesting to note that others have complained about showers not working. we joined on a family membership in January to use primarily the pool. From day one there were ever only two or three showers working, the disabled one never worked or was always stone cold, this being the shower that the kids could use as they could reach the push knob themselves. Often there were only two working showers and once there were 14 people queuing to use them. I complained every week and was told on each occasion it was being dealt with.
The final straw for me, was the day I was showering the kids and put on one shower set the thermostat and just stopped my six year old from walking into it....it was SCALDING red hot, not just hot but boiling hot. The thermostat had broken as they usually were but this time at boiling point. I was absolutely livid at the near horrific accident that had been narrowly avoided and insisted I wanted a full reinbursement of my money as I was sick of queuing or taking cold showers and then my child was almost scalded.
Interestingly Kingfisher blamed the Hotel, I went to the Hotel and they 100% insisted Kingfisher had full responsibillity of maintenace issues, while every week Kingfisher blamed the Hotel for not responding to their pleas.
The changing rooms, particularly the family one often stunk of used nappies from the bins that were not emptied, when I mentioned this one time I was told they were understaffed by two members who spent the next half hour I was there drinking coffee, the bins went unsanitised.
For me when you pay such an amount as the Kingfisher charged for membership the very least I expect is to be able to take a warm shower for myself and my kids and not join a queue of 14, other niggles were the pool often being not at the required temperatures, fine for addults but not so for little ones in swimming lessons that are often inactive.
But the one that left me reeling was my last complaint about the disabled shower being the one small kids were able to operate themselves i(f not required by a disabled person of course) and how they could justify not having it in proper working order for the past three months. The managers shocking reply was "Well we don't really cater for the disabled here"
Funniest moment was when she promised then to supply sticks so stop the adults getting saturated when they had to lean into the showers to keep the timed showers operating.
Not all gripes though the staff are good, the swimming instructors excellent, cant comment on the gym as I didnt use it.
Would never dream of joining that place again, and would adise anyone wanting to buy a family membership to not bother, the place is just dreadfull in many basic respects....but could be excellent. A real shame.
I did get my money back.
