Fantastic experience: I couldn’t imagine attending another gym. It feels like family being a member, the staff are the most kind and caring people, I trust them to care for my children in the creche. The classes are awesome and there is something for everyone
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the Valleys for quite some years probably 15 or so years. Over that time I have seen the centre evolve into what it is today, a well run efficient centre that caters for the communities needs both young and old. The management and staff are very obliging and welcoming and provide excellent service to the wider community. I would recommend the centre to anyone who wants to attend classes, the gym or pool areas. Pam Datson, Clare

The children are also looked after by lovely child care professionals whilst the adults can enjoy their time in the gym without having to worry about their children.

Negative experience: I don’t normally leave bad reviews, but I feel it is my duty to let people know my experience with this location. The gym is tiny and the equipment is sparse. The facilities are severely restricted over the winter period. The management are incompetent and some of the staff lack basic customer service skills. My suggestion would be to avoid this place and consider other gyms in the area. The YMCA should be ashamed of themselves.
Hi Laurence, we are sorry we could not meet your expectations. Based on our in-person discussion, it sounds like the catalyst for your dissatisfaction is our upcoming annual price increase.
