Agree with this - he has very good people skills - maybe he could train up other staff!

What's the pool like? Is it clean and well maintained- same question for pool changing areas and showers?

I'm going to be starting swimming regularly soon and will use Peckham, E&C or Brockwell if necessary.

Personally I find the Dulwich pool pleasant, but the gents' wet changing room far smellier that it needs to be. (Smell is from the loo.) I like the front desk staff, they smile and give you their attention. Comments in this thread about needing another squat rack are spot on.

There was something about Peckham Pulse that put me off. I think it was a combination of the hassle of gym upstairs followed by a trek downstairs for swimming, combined with a sauna which was possibly located in Brigadoon, up on gym level. And the staff didn't manage to create the same welcoming experience as Dulwich.

you can def expect a two tier entry system (eg one for main entrance then another for eg gym). No more getting waved through.

Im personally quite excited by the new ownership and can only see upside / improvements. I might even join again if they deliver - bring it on!

I just hope they will do subscription for gym only..

Swimming pool itself it s very hugely and not good to swim regularly and for "longer" distances

With Fusion i could use the pool in forest hill (very big and modern) and the gym in ED, as also the gym in forest hill it s small with a very bad weight area..

Unless there will be separate subscription for gym and pool i m going to lose..:(

Shall i go for a good pool and bad gym in forest hill or a good gym and unbelievably bad pool in ED..?

..Think if they don t do separate subscriptions in ED i ll be forced to leave and go forest hill..sad!
