Did they tell us anything about this change? I personally haven't had any communication about it and have only found out today by googling why both Dulwich and Peckham gyms were no longer an option on the fusion booking site!!

Will our membership still be valid? Are prices changing? I'm very annoyed that I didn't know any of this was going on.

From a post on their Facebook site..


All DD will be transferred over to Everyone Active and you will be receiving letters in the post to advise of this and other relevant information. Information is still limited at the moment as we have not yet officially taken over the contracts. Hope this helps. Kind Regards,EA

I went in today and it was chaos.. they need to change everyone's card over to the new ones + give new logins for the website (https://www.everyoneactive.com/centre/dulwich-leisure-centre/ - which by the way is kinda pointless because when you go to book a class "dulwich" is not an option on the drop-down)... the place is in dissaray with lots of broken things, no cafe as they are redoing that, a million staff but they all look a bit confused and only 2 computers so they can only really serve 2 people at a time anyway...
I agree it was slightly chaotic this morning at the start of the yoga class. The music didn't work in our class and people seemed to be experiencing problems at the desk despite lots of staff mulling round but hopefully these are just teething problems and will be ironed out quickly. I'm surprised that the new management didn't insist that everything was ready to roll out efficiently at the start of their new contract eg machines all working etc. More importantly, they haven't proactively written to customers explaining that they are taking over the contract and welcoming users. I look forward to things improving and do hope that they make up for a late start in building a relationship in the area.
No communications to existing members apart from change to DD instructions sent today. Oddly enough, I'm more interested in finding out what service is going to be provided BEFORE the administration of how I pay for it. Former login in details to book anything no longer work. Timetables aren't available. No info about changing cards, access, use of different Southwark gyms, etc. It's a really poor start for a company who have known about this change for months. I'm in the same camp as Worldwiser, goergina87, pillsbury and others. And cross.

I went in this morning and yes it was slightly chaotic but I was given a new card, ID number and pin so I can book classes etc on line. I think people on here need to give the centre a break. People have been moaning how bad Fusion was for as long as I can remember. Now a new company have taken over and you are all still moaning. They have literally been in charge since yesterday - that's 24hours!! Give them a break. If they had shut the centre to do a full handover and training you would all be moaning you had no gym. Yes there will be chaos but why don't you just give the new company a bit of support for a few weeks while they transition everything over. There is always so much negativity about a new business.

The bottom line is it's a local authority gym. If you don't like it go somewhere else

i'm all for giving new companies chances, and yes it would be annoying if they shut the place down for a few days to sort stuff out BUT they have known for MONTHS they were taking over - they could spend time evenings/weekends installing stuff and getting ready.. and yes I too have my new card and login, but as you can't choose dulwich as an option online it is basically pointless...


but like you said, i agree its a great value gym and so i'm ok to give them the benefit of doubt, but they need to sort it out by the end of this week at the latest (and fix all the broken toilets everywhere too!) :)

From their website:

"Online group exercise class and activity bookings will be available from 7.00am on Tuesday 28th June for classes and activities from this date forward.


We are working hard to open up the online booking process before this date but there has been a technical fault with the transfer of the online bookings taken before 21st June for the period immediately after. If we were to allow new online bookings it would lead to double bookings.


Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience and please check centre websites for updates."

No necessarily. Knowing how Fusion are run, they probably didn't cooperate at all in the handover, in which case there's nothing much the new company can do.

I am also all for giving new companies a chance but I am pretty disappointed by the re-fit of the cafe Everyone Active have done. They have installed two slush puppy machines, a milk shake machine and an ice cream fridge which I don't think at all promotes healthy eating messages to the large number of children passing through there.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
