Gym has become unpleasant now
Agree with other comments re bags and coats in the gym. There's now a big sign as you walk into the gym but, like before, the staff don't enforce even at the busiest times. I've heard other people complaining that it's leading to friction between customers when people use bags or coats to "reserve" equipment. There's lockers right outside so I dont get what's so hard for the staff to direct people to them.

Hi P,
We're sorry to hear this, and thank you for sharing your feedback!
We appreciate how frustrating this experience has been for you, especially where other customers are using their belongings to reserve the Gym equipment.
We have already passed your concerns to the Centre management team at the Donyngs Leisure Centre
We really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us and for helping to keep the gym a positive environment for everyone.
Warm Regards,

Nearly fights in the gym
Agreed with a mate today that we should both write a review about the gym and the issues with people using bags to reserve equipment. It's really annoying and they have signs up saying not to bring them in but they let people do it anyway. There's a particular person who always seems to be on duty around 5 pm and she just completely ignores it. It's like how people use towels to reserves spaces by pools at cheap hotels. We've had to step in before (peacefully, with words) to defuse arguments before they get out of hand because the staff clearly don't give a damn.
***Following response, I'll add I doubt we'll hear anything as we previously emailed the centre directly to complain and never even got an acknowledgement..
***2nd update. Still heard nothing back from the gym. When we raised our concerns with reception, they told us to email in. I said we did and that we'd not heard anything, so we're told "there's nothing we can do". We've cancelled our memberships and are going to a competitor instead.

I spoke to “customer service” they never took any details off me and said I had to pay the rejoining fee.
This all stated back in Feb/March where I found out my membership was suspended due to not uploading my bluelight card as proof of corporate.
I spoke to Mustafa on the phone and uploaded the documents, he then said I had to pay £15 but never made it clear after I asked why.
Since then, on my part I had forgotten and time had passed me by, I have then gone to sort my membership out, I was told by the centre I need to speak to customer service, which why centres can’t do this anyway.
The bloke called Asad found out it was February and said that I had to pay £12 joining fee, I of course argued this and still had to pay it.
I have been at donyngs for over 12 years and I have been left feeling rubbish about this.
I asked the manager at Donyngs to have this raised and almost a week later, I have heard nothing at all.
When I asked Asad if I could speak to a manager he said I would have to wait 48 hours for a call back.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your review.
I have looked through our correspondence with you and can see that when you initially contacted us, we made several attempts to contact you to assist you and were left without responses on several occasions.
I can see that in May after your membership had been suspended in March, Mustafa reached out to the centre to ensure we could reinstate your membership to your previous price plan and after this was confirmed, he agreed to reinstate your membership without charging you a set-up fee as a goodwill gesture and just sent you a link to make the pro-rata payment for your membership.
Mustafa then sent you this link 3 times and you did not make payment and after you not responding your ticket was closed.
You then rejoined in centre in September. As you did not respond to our emails and waited almost 6 months to rejoin, you did need to pay the set-up fee which is applicable to any customer whose membership suspends or is cancelled.
We are sorry that you are unhappy and we appreciate you rejoining with us.
Warm Regards

Antiquated attitudes
I previously wrote a review around a year ago of their gym in Redhill, Surrey, which largely holds true; the reception staff are mostly pleasant if they notice you, the pool isn't too busy and facilities outside of the gym are generally maintained.
A year later;
Whether or not the rules of the gym are enforced appear clearly linked to if you're on good terms with whoever is working in the gym. In particular, around 5pm when the gym is busy, this woman will be very happy to interrupt young people mid-set telling them they need to leave by 5.30 (because that's their rules) while at the same time ignoring all the coats and bags scattered around over equipment by her friends. Most frustrating is when one of her friends starts shouting at other customers and she ignores it because the antagonist is her friend.
Having spoken to other people in the area who previously used the gym, I've discovered this is an ongoing issue and the main reason for people leaving in favour of the better maintained and cheaper option (within about a mile, which i haven't named in case it is deemed to be advertising).
In short, like a lot of other people in the area, I've become fed up with the poor standards they at Donyngs and I've cancelled my membership in favour of the better maintained, cheaper gym.

Hi The MofK,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a follow-up review and share your honest experience.
We’re sorry to hear that your recent visits to Donyngs have not met expectations, especially in regard to the consistency of rule enforcement and behaviour within the gym. We take all feedback seriously and are particularly concerned by the issues you’ve raised about staff conduct and perceived preferential treatment. This is not the standard we aim to uphold, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration this has caused.
Your comments will be passed on to the relevant management team to investigate further, as we are committed to creating a fair, welcoming, and respectful environment for all our members.
While we’re sorry to hear you’ve chosen to cancel your membership, we appreciate you being part of our community and hope you might consider us again in the future should improvements be made.
Kind regards,
Charmaine

Non-existent swimming space for adult swimmers
Came here late morning on a Sunday, and three of the five lines in the main pool were closed off for children's swimming. This is despite there being a separate kids' pool opposite the main one. This only left two lanes for adult swimmers - a slow lane and a fast one. So you're screwed if you swim at a moderate pace, as you either have to trail behind a painfully slow swimmer, or worry about being whacked in the face by a violently fast swimmer. I'm not sure why three-quarters of the main pool gets closed off at the weekend for kids' swimming, while adult swimmers are confined to two tiny lines, which get very overcrowded. This feels discriminatory and creates a stressful experience. I work full-time during the week, so weekend swimming is the only feasible option for me.
The changing areas and showers leave a lot to be desired. The changing rooms are few in number, and extremely pokey. The showers are communal, which is disgusting as I (and I'm sure many others) don't enjoy washing myself in front of strangers. There's also hardly any water pressure, so it's impossible to properly wash the chlorine off your body and hair.

Dear HP,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
We sincerely apologise for the experience you encountered at the Donyngs Leisure Centre and we fully understand the frustration it may have caused. Our aim is to maintain a balance for all guests, and it is evident that we did not successfully accommodate both children and adult swimmers, particularly during peak weekend hours. We will conduct a thorough review of our lane allocation to ensure that swimmers of varying speeds enjoy a more favorable experience in the future.
Furthermore, we regret the discomfort you faced with our changing facilities and showers. Your observations regarding the size of the space and the water pressure have been duly noted, and we will explore potential enhancements to improve both privacy and comfort for all visitors.
Thank you once again for your valuable insights. We hope to have the opportunity to enhance your experience during your next visit.
Warm regards,
Charmaine
