the tvs and them remotes you use to change channel hardly work and you have to really press down hard on the buttons the headphone jacks dont give clear sound in about 80% of the cardio machines on the mens side anyways and often only one earphone would work. the free weights are becoming worn and are loose and even some…

the headphone jacks dont give clear sound in about 80% of the cardio machines on the mens side anyways and often only one earphone would work.

the free weights are becoming worn and are loose and even some have parts of the rubber weight chipped off.

the gear bag you get is useless and extremely low quality, with two weeks the long strap had snapped off and the bag has began to 'flake' black bits

the staff ok maybe not all of them but the ones iv encountered...firstly always look pissed off when you come in to scan your card....if you dont want to do it move the scanner to on top of the counter and make us do it ourselves and as long as you hear that beep its okay!

the fitness instructors just dont listen to you when you ask to be put on a program its either too easy or uses just the most common and easiest exercises...lack of variation in the exercises show their lack of knowledge.I said im fairly fit to one of them, play football and they put me on a 10minute run on 8kms?Push people for gods sake!

those speed ramps are far too high and really damage the car, lower them!

if i want to drive a van to the gym the height barrier has to be removed...whats the point in this??Are tradesmen just not welcome at carlisle?

the ridiculous overpricing of the supplements(in general in Ireland though)
people...get them off the web!

why dont they sell sambos anymore in the lounge area?just finished a work out..last thing i want is a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar! Open a smoothie bar you'l be real busy and are promoting healthy options!

and what was with the honesty system a couple of years back?with amount of young people who would never pay €4 euro for a sambo did they actually think they would work out even at the end of the day?

maybe dust off the weight machines once in a while?

and for fooooks sake the next time i hear ben dunnes voice in that ad il cry...youve already convinced us to join hence why we're in the gym, that ad doesnt go out over dublin as much as its played in carlisle

20euro for the day pass is a disgrace..had relatives over from states they actually thought it was a joke to go in for a day at that cost.

I was going to give out about it being so full but thats not something they can control and its only fuller at peak times so thats okay but maybe since the gym is so busy expand and bit and what in the world is an art gallery doing across the road?Could of used that as the studio classes building and open upstairs to more exercise machines..?

none of this is money related its just pure laziness and lack or foresight so the prices can stay the same (which i will agree are the cheapest ive found and i really like the group deals this is a very good idea)

...right im off to the gym.
