Cannons Gym
I am sometime this week hopefully signing up for a membership at Canons (summer will soon be approaching and need to deal with it instead of panicking in May time!), and wondered good or bad are there any comments on what it has to offer?
I have an 18mth old who i might very occasionally like to put in the creche, i remember a while back some comments on the staff/service.
Any comments welcomed!

I've been a member for 3 years plus and really like it - when my youngest was pre-school she spent many a happy hour in the creche and I was happy with the care.
Yep, I like Cannons, the staff aren't the friendliest but the classes are good and the facilities are clean.

I would like to comment on the use of the creche. The staff are fantastic in the creche, however to get a place there for your child is incredibly difficult. I used to be a member there and I found that if you didn't ring cannons on the day that you can book a space at the creche (ie 6 days before), it was almost impossible, unless you rang dead on 8am. Even if I rang at 8.15 am it would be fully booked. This used to drive me nuts and hence I left Cannons. Also, the creche isn't available during school holidays, so for 6 weeks in the summer you had to give up your hard work. Apart from that Cannons is cool

I've been a member there for 3 years and really like it. It's good value for money if you use it. Go twice a month and it's a very expensive swim/workout/class.
I use the personal trainers which means I have got to know some of the staff well. They are the best. Friendly, dedicated and professional. They keep leaving to travel on the other side of the world which is a pain but the new ones are just as good.
Car parking can be a pain at peak times but members have the use of the Matalan car park which is hardly a long walk away.
I haven't used the classes but I think the gym is very well equipped and the pool is nice when it's not busy.
As for cost, I compare it with my previous club in Berkshire which had a joining fee of £850 (non returnable) and a monthly membership fee of £120 for a couple (6 years ago). I think Cannons is a bargain.
