An Great Example of How Customer Services Should Be

I had to change the bank details for my direct debit and I was really impressed with the service I received from Athini in customer services.

I had already reported it on the app. but was a bit anxious about whether it was going to be looked at in time before the payment was due to come out so I contacted customer services.

Athini was helpful and very supportive, despite the issues he encountered in finding my membership. He found a way around it without any fuss or bother and without making me feel that I would have to be calling back with more information. Most importantly he didn't pass the buck to someone else. He dealth with my query very efficiently, professionally and in a friendly manner. He was a Great example of how customer services should be. I was so impressed that I had to write this review.

Good work should always be recognised and rewarded. Thank yo so much Athini.

Disappointing facilities

There is not enough equipment in the gym. The weightlifting area is extremely small and there is barely any space. The gym lacks equipment such as benches and hip thrust machine.

Good evening Alana,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the limited space and lack of necessary equipment in the gym at the Albany Leisure Centre. Your comments are valuable, and we will make sure to bring them to the attention of the center manager for further review. We will explore the possibility of accommodating the specific equipment you need to enhance your workout experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Warm regards,

Charmaine

Charged for classes I attended

The current situation is self-explanatory: 30% of reviews are at one star. The team at Better needs to significantly improve its customer service at local centers. The experience has been extremely disappointing. As a former member of Fusion for over 25 years, I am now seriously considering canceling my membership with Better, despite my enjoyment of the classes offered.

The receptionists are consistently rude and unhelpful. Today, instead of assisting me, the manager laughed in my face. I would prefer to pay double the current fees, though I should not have to, given the poor treatment of customers who contribute to their salaries. This level of disrespect is unacceptable.

Were it not for the excellent instructors, I would cancel my membership immediately and join David Lloyd. The four-hour cancellation policy is unreasonable, especially compared to my previous gym, which allowed cancellations up to one hour before a class.

Furthermore, the staff's condescending and dismissive behavior towards customers is degrading. This issue needs urgent attention and rectification.

Good Afternoon Me Me,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your review of our centre. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as it helps us to continually improve our services.

However, I was disheartened to learn that during your recent visit, one of our staff members did not provide you with the level of friendliness that we strive to uphold. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience or discomfort this may have caused you.

At our centre, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service, and it is clear that we fell short of our standards in this instance. We have taken steps to address this matter with the staff member involved to ensure that this kind of behavior does not occur again.

Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. If you have any further concerns or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Best regards, 

Charmaine

Gym facilities

I think the gym has great facilities in terms of equipment and it’s not always packed and well sorted the only thing i can say is it’s very hard to book certain classes such as pilates

Hi Tasha,

Thank you for your review.

We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying Albany Leisure Centre. 

Bookings for classes are released 7 days in advance at 10pm for members and we would advise to put yourself on the waiting list if it is showing as fully booked, as many customers tend to cancel throughout the week and then these slots are released - with anyone on the waiting list emailed to let them know there is a space.

Warm Regards

Breach of service agreement

Junior flex membership promised to allow members access to certain facilities at participating leisure centres.
Sadly, so far, I've tried booking for my children to attend swimming at different better centres, however, I am prompted to make payment-contrary to their service agreement with me. It's a shame!

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your review.

I am very sorry that the Junior Flex membership tried to charge you for a free activity. You are required to use a voucher system to get your 1 free activity per month. Once you take the activity to your basket you will be prompted to pay but you should also see the option to "Use Voucher" which will then remove the charge. The membership allows access to any Better operated facility but you only get 1 free activity per month. If you do not use your free activity you lose this as it does not roll over to the following month.

If you do not see an option to "Use Voucher" for your 1 free activity per month, please get in contact with us and we will look into this further for you.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Charmaine

Good Afternoon F Uddin,

Thank you for your review.

Upon purchasing swimming lessons you are required to pay an advance fee which is used as your child's final month of membership when you request to cancel the membership in the future. The breakdown of these fees are explained online upon joining if you click on the little information icon on the page. I apologise if the member of staff did not understand your enquiry when you called to speak to someone however, if these is anything I can assist you with please do not hesitate to reach out via email. Our email details are customerservices@gll.org and if you put this for my attention, I will pick this up.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Charmaine

Improvements Needed

I recently visited Albany Leisure Centre, which has been taken over by Better. These are my observations:

Firstly, the hygiene standards leave much to be desired. The toilets, changing rooms, and gym facility areas are dirty, which is puzzling and disappointing. For the price paid, one would expect Better to get the basics right and maintain these areas in a pristine condition at all times. The neglect in this aspect severely impacts the overall user experience and raises concerns about health and safety.

Moving on to the gym equipment, while it has almost everything needed for a workout, the equipment is noticeably old and the layout seems to lag in embracing contemporary fitness trends, particularly in functional training.

The centre has the potential to be a top-notch facility under Better's management, comparable to some of their inner London centres, but significant improvements are needed. Laser focus on hygiene standards and an update in gym equipment and ethos are critical to justify the membership cost.

No one wants to workout in a place…

No one wants to workout in a place where people shout like animals and leave weights in freefall so that the "bang" is as loud as a shotgun going off! I know that Better just recently aquired the operation license for Albany Leisure Centre but I haven't seen a single individual come and warn these people about proper workout ethic in a week now, so I'm done and have also cancelled me and my wife's membership. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone eho asks.

Hi Seay,

Thank you for your review.

We are disappointed to hear that the actions of other members have led you to cancel your membership.

If a member does notice unacceptable behaviour in any of our centres we would encourage them to report this to a manager or concierge on duty so that they can witness and address the behaviour at the time. 

All of our centres are always fully staffed but you may not always see a member of the team in the gym. If this is the case the concierge team at reception will be able to radio a member of staff to attend.

Warm Regards
