The app isn’t user friendly
The app isn’t user friendly! My daughter went for induction Monday in Pentwyn and the bar code was scanned. She now can’t book another gym session as it says she needs to do an induction! So frustrating!
Also, why isn’t the centre open on Sundays? That’s when most people want to use it.

Once I started with 2 different days trying out with zumba class, tai chi class, swimming pool,equipments and pickle ball.. I knew that I "can't take my eyes off" this center!!! So I signed up as 1 month membership on the 3rd day. Reasons is so simple, it facilitated with what I needed and what I am expected... on top of all I feel like somebody being spoiled with smiling faces, friendly staffs with helping hands such as Harley suggested how to prioritize activities schedule that I can fully occupied with my limited available timetable for staying in Cardiff from 7th to 25th of August. The best of all is the pickle ball drop in hours I can have the paddle from center and players to play with. Lots of competitive laughters too !!! Love the zumba instructor's friendly and knowledgeable class. Clean enviorment of swimming pool and changeroom making me want to swim everyday! Shout out to the manager of this center that building up a great team of staff that makes me feel no pressure to excercise / workout... not being as a couch potato!!! Definitely I will say highly recommend this facility to people living within this community. I will be back!!! Last but not least... I met new friend Amanda in the center, we just talk and talk like long time lost school friends! Love tge Unicorn get together...treasure our moments lol

Not bad gym
The gyms there are decent, They could have a water Drinking facility there, They do need a redesign on the website so i could click all the days I want and submit at the end without going to the homepage and doing it all again, Good equipment and good quality, Nice little boxing bag in corner and yoga area. Overall not bad but those little details would make the place alot better
