Next Gen Memorial Drive: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and a great place to train and relax.
Negative experience: Great gym with all the latest things to inspire those that want to get fit. However, pretty much the worst in regard to their erroneous contractual terms that do not allow for members whose circumstances change. On top of that, it is clear that staff have been trained to give zero craps and empathy to clients who are in the situations described above. They clearly believe that because they have such great features, they are more important than their clients. So many other great gyms out there that appreciate their clients and will work to ensure the best physical and financial outcome. If you want an active wear photo op, go here. If you want to go to a gym that believes in reciprocation, go to any other gym in Adelaide.
Negative experience: A very unsafe pool environment ! No pool attendants, no rules, no supervision. Today, Saturday, 27th December 2025, wanted some exercise for my injured shoulders, and some relaxation. The bigger la e was filled with unruly children unsupervised by parents, so I wanted to use a free lane to walk and do my gente arm exercises in. Then 3 aggressive boys entered my lane and began throwing their arms around me as I was walking in my lane, they were about to injure me badly, that I had to swerve to the left to avoid their aggressiveness. I was terrified and very upset, and saw a pool worker staring at her pc screen and asked her to urgently cal, for a manager, Sharon arrived and I asked her to view the footage and speak with the 3 aggressive boys. Sharon discredited me with my full detailed explanation of what they did in my lane nearly injuring me. I will be taking my complaint to a higher management person. Lana Korvin
Negative experience: I'm interested in joining Next Gen but haven't been able to get through on the phone to talk to someone about memberships.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for many years and love the place, it’s my home away from home. Over the last few years though there has certainly been a change with the new GM Ettian making substantival changes and improvements. Of late though the Cafe run by Gabbi and her lovely side kick Maria who are tireless in always making it a fun place to go I have appreciated that the new Chef Mark has changed the cafe into a restaurant like feel with his wonderful cooking. I now take my Wife and friends to enjoy the food with my favourite being the Pad Thai noodles. It’s a great place to go to train and swim but also before or after the football or whatever is happening at Adelaide oval or even after a walk around the torrens river for a coffee.
Hey Russell, thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. It means a lot to hear that Next Gen feels like a home away from home for you. We truly appreciate your recognition of the improvements and it’s fantastic to know the café has become a place you enjoy sharing with family and friends. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more visits, whether it’s for training, swimming, or your favourite Pad Thai!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a wonderful experience with private tennis lessons at Nexgen. Rina, my coach showed reliability, patience, professionalism, and enthusiasm during sessions and had helped me not only grow my skills but also my love for tennis over the past year.
HI Yee, thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled to hear how positive your experience has been with Rina as your coach, and she has helped grow both your skills and love for the game. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her and look forward to seeing you on court again soon!
Fantastic experience: Lana is a world-class fitness instructor. Her classes, whether it is a fast-paced step, mobilising pilates, or intense 'strength', are always a physical enjoyment as well as aesthetic pleasure. Her professionalism, empathy, positive energy, and impeccable taste in everything she does, attract people of all edges. Ther is never a dull moment in Lana's classes. She keeps everyone engaged with her entertaining manner and clever routines that she seldom repeats. No wonder her classes are full any time of the year.
Hey L St, thank you so much for this incredible feedback! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoy Lana’s classes. It’s wonderful to know her sessions are both challenging and engaging, and we’re proud to have her leading such a vibrant community. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Lana!
Fantastic experience: I have done zumba class. It is amazing and Cat is very good trainer
HI Patricia, thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the aqua classes, we look forward to seeing you at many more!
Fantastic experience: Recently joined next gen having recently moved to the city. I can honestly say I’ve never been to a gym like it and the facilities are superb. We had a tour with sales manager Josh who sealed the deal and gave us a great deal. Recommend highly joining next gen.
Fantastic experience: Love Juliette’s classes, she’s very professional
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this club since the commencement to Memorial Drive. I have experience new friendships and most to the fore has been my classes with Juliet. She knows exactly what each of my class group requires and has me believing it is possible for me to achieve and I tell other friends not members how good Juliet’s classes are and some have actually joined the club. A big thank you to Juliet.
Negative experience: The overall environment is great, and the coaches are excellent. My child especially loves the swimming coach and has been learning here for a year. However, I want to talk about a lady in a green shirt at the cafe. Because my child had consecutive classes in the morning with only a 40-minute break, we bought her some sushi for lunch. We wanted to eat quickly before her class (we often order from this cafe, but their service is relatively slow, which I completely understand, and that's why we bought the sushi in advance). Then this lady immediately came over and arrogantly told us that no outside food was allowed in the cafe area! We explained that our child could eat first and we would order later, but she insisted that we couldn't eat there! I asked where we could eat, and she told me that it wasn't allowed in any area! I've seen mothers bringing their own food with their children before. Why is this? Is there an age limit for children? At what age can they no longer eat their own food? Or are they only allowed to eat those kinds of food? If a child no longer wants your children's meals, can't they find a place in the gym where they can eat their own food? Perhaps your coffee shop does have such a rule, but her arrogant attitude is unacceptable to me! Her behavior makes me seriously consider whether I should renew my membership next year.
Fantastic experience: josh in sales is super nice !
Hi Anabella, thanks for your review! We’re so glad to hear Josh made such a great impression, he’ll be thrilled to know his friendliness stood out!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym but most of these stars go to the staff especially the cafe people. Daniel who I see work both reception and cafe has an amazing sense of customer service, Rodrigo makes consistently delicious smoothies, and Natalie who also provide fantastic service. The staff at next gen is exceptional. Brett is cool too and always has a smile on his face. If you guys want to experience amazing hospitality but also a gym that feels like home. This is the place to be.
Hi Tyler, thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoy the club and especially appreciate our wonderful team.

Fantastic experience: If you want to have a great workout with amazing music and an energetic Fitness Instructor who looks after your technique, you have to try Cardio Combo with Christine on Mondays.

Fantastic experience: Excellent club, great facilities and great staff especially in the tennis field. Strongly recommend for an executive-like atmosphere. Special props to tennis coaches Luke and Joel, extremely welcoming and very professional and supportive of my tennis endeavours, having both had a professional background in the sport. Cafe staff are extremely polite and friendly with customers. Meals are high quality and are delivered at seriously fast times - no waiting around with these guys. The pool facilities aren’t like any other in Adelaide. Highly maintained and very clean, swimming instructors are very good and produce excellent swimmers. Gym facilities are top notch (as expected from such a world class club. Enough equipment to rival the best gyms across Australia. Staff are welcoming and encouraging towards clients. Overall a very special experience every visit and would strongly recommend for anyone to attend.

Hi Rodrigo, Thank you for your feedback, we're happy to hear you're loving the Zumba classes and we can't wait to see you in for another session soon!
Negative experience: Unruly irrresponsible parents with unruly children splashing around lanes where walking signage is afffxed, with disregard to elderly or disabled pool users! No pool attendants to advise parents what pool rules are, no one monitors this pool, managers do not care at all when complaints are raised, so unacceptable for the huge membership price every few months, do not recommend this centre at all.
Hi Annette, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. The comfort and safety of all members are extremely important to us, and we regret that your time in the pool area did not reflect this. We take feedback like yours seriously and will review our supervision and communication around pool use to ensure a better experience for everyone. Please contact us directly at 8110 7777 so we can discuss this further and address your concerns personally.
Positive experience: I went to Next Gen tonight after joining up over the phone. The gym is much more higher class than anything else in Adelaide the staff were nice and the club has good vibes the only thing i can fault is i took their best membership available at $72 a week but I feel like this gym has everything i need to get ring fit for boxing
Hi Peter, thank you for your great review! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying the club, the atmosphere, and our team. It’s fantastic that you’ve found everything you need for your boxing fitness goals. We really appreciate your feedback and your commitment as a member. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I am a foundation member at Next Gen Memorial Drive and have always been impressed with the tennis program, particularly the quality of the coaches and the coaching options that are available to members. For me, I have had one-on-one coaching with two of the coaches over the years. My first experience was with Brett Smith over a decade ago when i was travelling a lot for work. Brett was happy to put me last on his program on a Tuesday night and to be flexible with me. This was excellent as it allowed me to have a decent 30 minutes on court (most weeks) and allowed me to keep my game in tune. This year I have started working with Joel Scalzi for an hour a week and I have been thoroughly impressed with Joel's professionalism and passion for tennis. Not only have we rebuilt my ground stokes and corrected the errors that had crept into my serve, but we are doing drills and discussing tactics and approaches that I can start to build into my competition singles matches. Thanks Joel!
Hi David, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’ve enjoyed your experiences with our tennis program over the years. It’s wonderful that both Brett and Joel have made such a lasting impression through their professionalism, flexibility, and passion for coaching. We really appreciate you sharing your journey and look forward to seeing your continued success on court!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the tennis coach Rina at NG. She’s my first tennis coach and she has been coaching me for less than a year, I get huge improvements and really thank her for her enthusiasm in coaching, and she gave me so much useful and practical advice on playing tennis games. Go for her!
Hi Xiaomin, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re happy to hear you are loving your tennis sessions with Rina, we’ll be sure to pass on the kind words!

Hi Lincoln, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear you're enjoying your time with us, we'll see you in the club for your next session soon!
Fantastic experience: I signed up with Next Gen 3mths ago and have had so much success from their FREE Next Step gym instructor service that I just HAD to share the results. I had no idea what I was doing when I first signed up I found the equipment very scary and I needed help. I spoke with Trinity about how awful I was feeling and she insisted I book in with one of their trainers. From there we had regular catch ups, they wrote me fitness plans and helped me change my workout when I needed to. The trainers there are ALL so wonderful! I can't believe all of this guidance was free. Thanks to them, I feel confident, strong, and healthy... really for the first time in my life. All I wanted was to feel better about my body. I have achieved that and SO MUCH MORE! I’ve now signed up for PT sessions with Nancy, who is absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable. Now my goal is to see my abs and run my first half marathon ♀️ This is only the beginning for me. I never want to feel like I did 12 weeks ago ever again. I’m so grateful, and so happy!
Hi Tiffany, we're so happy to hear you've enjoyed your first 3-months with us! We love hearing that you're kicking goals and can't wait to see you achieve more in the months to come! We appreciate you for taking to time leaving a review
Fantastic experience: Just joined Next Gen this month and so far I am impressed! The lounge is spacious, heaps of tables and chairs in the “restaurant area” but also a quieter space to work from. The gym itself is spacious and has all the equipment imaginable. The indoor pool is neat and clean and perfect for laps! I will be coming here every day if I can!!
Hi Amber, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're happy to hear you're loving the club and look forward to seeing you in club for your next swim soon!

Hi Zac,

Hi Lin E.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're happy to hear you enjoy the facilities and love the lessons with Rina!
Fantastic experience: I always enjoy coming to Next Generation Café. The whole team is super friendly, but I have to say Christ really stands out. Every time I’ve been here as a guest she’s always smiling, asking how your day is going, and she just has this genuine way of making you feel welcome. It honestly makes such a difference — you can tell she really cares about the people she serves, not just the job. This place is lucky to have her! The café itself is great too — the facilities are top-notch, and my favorite spot is by the tennis courts. It’s such a nice view to enjoy while having a coffee. Between the friendly atmosphere, the great service, and the beautiful setting, it’s always a good experience here.
Hi Anne,
Thanks so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoy visiting the café and that Christ has made such a great impression. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words. It’s wonderful to know you love the friendly atmosphere and that perfect coffee spot by the courts!
Fantastic experience: Angela in the swim school is absolutely amazing and the best swim school manager we have ever met. Laekyn is an incredible swimming instructor, so patient and skilled with the little ones. Arabella, Mandy, and Sally in the crèche are all so lovely, caring, and attentive, making it such a warm and welcoming environment. We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful team looking after our children.
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for your feedback! Our team takes pride in creating a caring, welcoming environment. We truly appreciate your kind words and are happy to hear that Angela, Laekyn, Arabella, Mandy, and Sally have made such a positive difference for your family

Hi Naoko,
Thank you for your positive review! It's great to hear you're enjoying your lessons with Rina and will be sure to pass on the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Been a member for a little while now and honestly, the tennis program is by far my favourite part of the club. I’ve done a few terms and just want to shout out the coaching team - Rina, Mile, and Joel! They’re all super professional, patient, and just great people to be around. Biggest thanks to Rina though I’ve been doing private lessons with her and the improvement over the past few months has been huge. She’s super encouraging, really sharp with her coaching, and makes the whole process enjoyable!!!
Hi Kelly, Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying the tennis program and that Rina, Miles, and Joel have made such a positive impact. It’s fantastic to know your lessons with Rina have been so rewarding! We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words. Keep up the great work on court!
Fantastic experience: Awesome first time here. From the super friendly arrival at reception, I was told exactly where everything I would need would be. Gym was great, had all of the equipment that I was after and gym floor staff answered any questions that I had. Addition of pools, sauna and steam all under the one roof makes it even better.
Hi Jack,
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear you had such a positive first visit and that our team made you feel welcome from the moment you arrived. It’s great to know you enjoyed the gym facilities and all the extras like our pools, sauna, and steam room. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Negative experience: Not professional at all. Tried to cancel my membership and they wanted to charge an extra fortnights membership. We were not notified this and didn’t have an updated renewal with the gym.
Hi Tony,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. In our terms and conditions, a two-week notice period is required for membership cancellations however, we understand this can be frustrating if it wasn’t clear. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to contact the club on (08) 8110 7777
Fantastic experience: We came here on a guest pass and it was wonderful! We went to the gym and then had lunch before the pool. We were served by Arthur who seemed to do absolutely everything. He was amazing! Great job Arthur!!
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for the positive review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit and made use of our Gym, Cafe and Pool. We'll pass on the kind words to Arthur and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I had such a good experience at Next Gen, the gym itself is super clean and welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the vibe makes you actually want to be there. What really surprised me though was the food; it was fresh, tasty, and way better than I expected from a gym café. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you can smash out a workout and then enjoy a proper meal after, which makes the whole experience so much better. Would definitely visit again!!
HI Naomi,

I’ve been coming to next gen for a few months now, and I see myself working out here long term! I love the igloo, and the equipment here. Seriously good on you guys for the great work yous are doing, the warm friendly faces every time I am there just make my day! Proud of you guys keep up the great work!

Positive experience: Saturday 28 is not the grant final 28th is Sunday this year. Showers are still dirty with a lot of hair.....
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Adelaide with great gym equipment, Good cafe and food. Only problem is car parking. 200 car parks which some selfish so called members decide to park there all day from 7.30am onwards, not use the facility and then walk into the city to work/uni/RAH staff. This then stops members genuinely using the facility to find a car park especially 9-11am. Many times I’ve driven around the car park countless times, unable to find a car park then gone home. Have complained numerous times to management. All they need to do is put a security guard in the car park every week day morning for an hour, to stop this practice of all day parking. They keep promising a new system with time limit monitoring but it still hasn’t happened. Please do something about people parking all day at NG! Thank you
Positive experience: I enjoy the classes regularly, BUT, lately the car park is extremely full & circulating around & around is not satisfactory.
Fantastic experience: Great club to be a part of.
Fantastic experience: Good places to work out and relax
Negative experience: Next Generation only care about making money, not customer service. Requesting to swap something out of a Poke bowl due to an allergy and replace it with something of the same cost is not an option, instead you must pay extra for less. Most of the facilities are dated which is shocking given the astronomical membership fees.
Fantastic experience: Tennis pros here at top of the charts Joel and Luke are the best you will find anywhere
Fantastic experience: Always helpful
Fantastic experience: I have been a member for over 10 years and am totally satisfied. There are plenty of classes to choose from and the clientele are pleasant. I have made a number of good friends at the gym, which enhances my experience. We regularly stay for a meal and chat in the cafe. I also take advantage of the Swim School for my kids, another substantial offering,
Fantastic experience: I recently rejoined Next Generation, Adelaide aftet a 20 year break. It's central location & availability of pools were the initial draw cards as I was struggling to find a pool open during Winter at the times I require. After phoning them I went in immediately & joined up. Their customer service was excellent, well informed, professional & friendly, thank you Samantha The pool is well maintained & not crowded. I've since used the spin cycle & gym equipment, all of which were high quality. Highly recommended, thank you. B Williams
Negative experience: I have been a member of next generation for 20 years, and the only reason I remain a member is to use the squash courts. Despite repeated requests to keep the courts swept and cleaned they remain a disgrace. We swept 3 weeks ago, but there was nothing to collect up all the dirt and dust so we put in a front corner and asked the staff to remove it. Of course the maintenance staff informed us it was not their responsibility. Full stop. Clearly informing the cleaning supervisor had no impact either, as there it remains!!
Fantastic experience: Gym is excellent. All facilities are always kept to a great standards. Everything is always in amazing condition. Staff are always helpful and care about customers. Special shout out to Brett who is ways there to help out
Negative experience: Welcome to the gym that redefines guilt, gaslight, get over it — all wrapped in the aesthetic of live, laugh, love, but with more dust and disappointment. Here, “upgrades” mean replacing a $12 handle attachment while the machine it’s screwed into hasn’t seen innovation since your parents were doing jazzercise. Promises of renovations to this historic site have become folklore — whispered about for years with no shovel, no high-vis, just gracefully aging members clinging to hope and handrails. Membership fees? Astronomical. Vibes? Subterranean. Saturdays? A full-contact sport, thanks to feral children running wild and taking out shins like tiny linebackers. I, however, remain committed to this disco disaster purely out of convenience — much like how I stayed with my toxic ex way past the expiration date, convinced I could change him. Spoiler: I couldn’t. And just like then, I’m hurting myself in the process. 5 stars for comedic value. 1 for fitness. Unmatched for character development
Thanks for the feedback A. We’ll admit—it’s hard to compete with a review that reads like a tragicomedy penned by Oscar Wilde on leg day.
We hear you loud and clear. The renovation plans aren’t folklore, we admit progress has moved at the pace of a Sunday treadmill jog.
That said, thank you for staying loyal. Your feedback, as piercing as it is poetic, is taken seriously. We truly appreciate the passion behind your words—and we’re working to make this club somewhere that inspires less regret and more reps.
Fantastic experience: Came here with my grandkids and got an one on one session with coach Miles, he was attentive and would recommend 100%.
Thank you for the feedback Bob
Fantastic experience: Excellent court. Thoroughly enjoyed my time playing tennis here. The coaches are lovely.
Thank you Mia - we appreciate the feedback
Fantastic experience: I’ve been taking tennis lessons at Next Gen Memorial Drive for years. Coach Joel’s positive energy keeps every lesson fun, yet he never stops pushing me toward continuous improvement. Luke Smith and the academy team foster a relaxed, supportive vibe. The courts are pristine and the whole facility feels world-class. The café crew—Chris, Gabi and Maria—are always welcoming, and the reception staff are just as friendly. Top-notch coaching, great people, superb facilities. Highly recommended.
Thank you Harry - we will make sure to pass the feedback onto the team
Fantastic experience: Love the place especially its amazing tennis courts! Hospitality is wonderful and lots of fun activities to do
Thank you Aiden, hope to see you at the club soon.
Fantastic experience: Next Gen Gym is an awesome place to train. Great equipment, clean facilities, and a super motivating vibe. Huge shoutout to Brett for always being friendly, helpful, and full of solid advice. He really makes the gym feel welcoming. Highly recommend!
Hi Tom, thanks for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Very keen to try Next Gen for a new gym for me. Was very happy with the experience and the service was exceptional, especially Brett, very professional and calm, knows what he’s talking about, always has a smile.
Thank you Tyler - we will make sure to pass the feedback onto Brett
Fantastic experience: Has a fantastic tennis program, with excellent coaches and well-maintained facilities that make it ideal for players of all levels to train and succeed.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the club and the Tennis Nishal. Thank you for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: The facilities are amazing, the staff is great. The tennis facility is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The courts are in excellent condition perfect for training and matches.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the club and the Tennis Lucas. Thank you for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Next Gen since a young kid (well over 15 years), a true testament to the facilities and staff. In particular the entire tennis program, which is run to the most upmost professional standards, and which has produced numerous top tier players over the years. The world class tennis courts and facility, accompanied by incredible coaches from the Peter Smith Tennis Academy, and subsequent players make tennis at Memorial Drive + PSTA a truly awesome and memorable experience. Would give 10 stars if there was the option!
Thank you Sebastian! And for the extra stars. We appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: I don’t usually write reviews but thought it was necessary given the latest ones. I have been coming here for nearly ten years, and I have to say the facilities and staff are absolutely world class. I mean that quite literally as the coaches train world class players, along with the Adelaide International being held here. The hard and grass courts are always in perfect condition, and there’s a plethora of courts to choose from. Not to mention the stunning setting next to Adelaide Oval with the outdoor pool. I started coming here as a total beginner, and through Luke, Josh and Joel's amazing group sessions and private lessons, I have become by all accounts a competent club player. They cater to all levels of skill by having a deep understanding of the game, but more importantly a great care for their clients. I have always felt incredibly well included and cared for, even when I was presumably frustrating to coach as a beginner :). It’s extremely easy to see how much they love the sport as it comes through in each training session. I have played at numerous clubs around the world, and I feel we are extremely fortunate to have world class coaches and facilities like this in Adelaide. It's not surprising the sort of people who would complain about this setup... I would highly recommend for anyone in Adelaide who is looking for a fun environment at beginner or advanced level, to join the club and utilise the incredible coaches and facilities.
Hi Ivan. Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate the feedback!
Fantastic experience: have been shown the best technical advice for my groundstrokes. Very friendly, understanding coaches, that could help my level of play. As a beginner this can be intimidating, but two coaches by the names of Luke and Joel helped me feel comfortable straight away. I understand this is a world class establishment, and so when i see negative reviews, I tend to look at the person writing them, as though there might be something wrong with that person, because I have only had positive experiences here, along with my friends and their children.
Thank you for the feedback Todd, we appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Next Gen is superior in every way, gym facilities are state of the art and maintained to the highest standards. The people are always welcoming, I have been a member for over 20 years. Next Gen plays a central role in my ongoing health and wellbeing. Thanks Next Gen!
Thank you for your loyalty Brett! Looking forward to seeing you at the club.
Negative experience: I would like to share my disappointing experience with Next Generation Club. Although the facilities are generally well-equipped, my overall experience was unfortunately overshadowed by poor customer service and a lack of professionalism. I was particularly concerned by a phone call I received from a member of staff, during which I felt I was spoken to in a passive-aggressive tone and treated unfairly. I tried to explain my situation and the reason for my attendance at a tennis session, but I felt dismissed and judged rather than heard and supported. This left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome at the club. Moreover, I believe some of the communication around class bookings and fees lacked transparency. I had no intention of attending any paid group sessions without knowing they carried an extra charge, and yet I was booked into classes without my clear consent or understanding. I value transparency and respectful treatment as a paying member, and unfortunately, I did not feel that these expectations were met. Despite this, both my wife and I decided to cancel our memberships. However, we were still charged 30% of the remaining fees, with no consideration for the circumstances or for basic consumer rights. It was disappointing to see that these concerns were not taken into account. I hope that the club takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication with members, particularly when dealing with misunderstandings or concerns. Every member deserves to be treated with respect, fairness, and honesty.
Hi Diego. We apologise for the experience that you have had. We will take the feedback on board and make changes where we deem appropriate. We hope that one day you can return and give us another chance.
Negative experience: Very poor quality of children tennis club, coaches are young and immature plus lazy , almost done no coaches just let kids to play bythemselves, stay away as they only wants to be paid for doing nothing

Fantastic experience: I am thoroughly enjoying going to the Next Generation Gym. Everyone has been so welcoming. The facilities are outstanding. I love the range of classes and the instructors are so supportive and passionate. It suits me perfectly to have classes available during the day, not just the traditional morning and evening. Thank you to all who have made my transition back to the gym so positive. It really is a lifestyle club as it has so much to offer.
