Classes Timetable all over the place
The gyms in the Olympic Park are basic, and since they lost the Aquatics Centre and closed the east village gym their offering is pretty poor. They have opened a "new" gym at the Velodrome, but its much smaller.
The classes timetable is all over the place, and seems to change constantly which makes planning really difficult. Also, when there is a private event at either Copper Box or the Velodrome then all of the classes are cancelled. I love that both venues are successful and still working after the olympics, so its just annoying that when the schedule changes and there are no events.
I pay £47 a month (12 month contract) which gives me access to all the gyms. But I don't think its worth it anymore, and I would recommend if you're looking for something on the budget side to shop around, other gyms are opening and offer the same for much much less.
Its a shame, when we had access to the pool and the bigger gym, it meant it was worth the price, I won't be renewing when my agreement is up.
