    Just go and look at it. Its pretty spotless most of the time. Fridays are pretty good as most people are hungover. Midday can be pretty empty too. The pool is always packed on the weekend with families. The gym is busy but I have never had to wait for any of the cardio stuff.

    Normally is busy 4-6 (the work crowd and students finishing lectures makes it quite packed). Anytime I've turned up before 6pm there was normally a wait for the machines with limited numbers (rowing machines etc). There's always a free treadmill or bike though.

    The changing rooms can get pretty busy at the start/end of the hour due to training and classes ending and others beginning. But this varies based on the day and time.

    The weights section is anyway. Paying 100 quid a year for it isn't too bad if I want to go on a few treadmills or stationary bikes, but the weights section is pathetic. I just go to my local gym in the evenings instead; at least it's not flooded with bicep enthusiasts anyway.

    Particularly awful around 12 o'clock lately, have to stand in a queue just to enter the weights area!

    Rugby dudes in there in the morning,
    Lunch time people in at noon,
    After work guys in at 5pm.

    If you want some space you have to pick obscure times in between these.
