We visited the centre to see if they could accommodate us to play rugby fives on their squash courts. We took our special ball and gloves. The guys were very welcoming we said we have over 50 plus players Our fives courts have now been closed at the Yclub so we are looking forward to planning some fives there - thanks ago to staff who showed us the squash courts 🥰

Myself & my daughter visited Sugden Sports centre for the korfball shield finals. I am partially housebound with breathing difficulties and this was a big event for me. Your staff are amazing. Alexandra (I think) on reception was so helpful & friendly and made sure I got in and out of the venue with ease. In particular we wish to thank Dorian who made sure we enjoyed our visit by providing chairs, guiding us to matches and checking in on us throughout the weekend, he even got me an umbrella when I went out in the rain. We met Martin on arrival who was equally friendly & helpful. In my 76 years I have never met staff so kind, friendly & courteous and you should be very proud of them. Thank you all but Dorian in particular for making myself & my daughter feel so welcome.

I've been here twice now. Much better than moss side gym. Good equipment. Not sure how it is when students come back though. One bad problem, parking! Manchester council should make more free parking for customers.

The gym has recently been renovated, it is very busy especially when students return from university. The studio has not been renovated, the equipment is old and with clear signs of wear & tear, especially the yoga blocks, straps and matts. The heating during classes in this area is inconsistent and sometimes quite cold when classes are held. The toilets in general are dirty, the cleanliness is not good, it is true that it is a busy place but the standards are very low. This needs to be improved. The staff are nice but there is no attitude of going the extra mile for the customer.When I experience doubts a few times they wasn't able to give me help or point me in the right direction. I go because I get a discount from my job, but if I had to pay the full membership it definitely doesn't worth value for money. Positive thing:Quite a few teachers from the classes are quite good(specially yoga) Update- This review has been edited on 27/2 .The management team of the center to which I took my complaints and discomfort for the deteriorated equipment for yoga classes has been heard and has renewed the equipment completely. They've changed the mats,blocks and straps. The quality is good and they've taken care to do a follow up. Customer service is good, specially from the new assistant manager,Samuel N. From the beginning he has had an excellent and active and proactive attitude,which shows without a doubt that he is interested in receiving feedback and to know opinions of the customers on the use and enjoyment of the facilities. Improvement of the service
