Hi I don't know if anyone else has complained to the gym, but I have mentioned this in person twice already to gym staff and feel compelled to raise it on the forum. The air con in the gym is not sufficient despite what staff say. On a sunny day the heat from the roof windows make it even worse, verging on unbearable.


Today there was one portable air con unit at the back of the gym and it's temperature reading said 24 degrees. The recommended temperature in a house is no more than 21, so how we can be expected to work out in 24 degrees plus seems ludicrous. It's not even full summer yet!


Is anyone going to take a serious look at how to keep members cool? I'm thinking of cancelling my membership as its impossible to go during summer months.

Hi scrawford,

I'm really sorry to hear you've had this problem.

I had been assured this problem had been fixed about a year ago.

I will raise the matter again - it would be REALLY helpful if you email me when this happened - real examples get quicker traction from council officials in my experience.

Strangely enough, visit often with school party and hot, hot, hot in waiting gallery! Always a 1st glance, entering the room, to see if air conditioning working! Asked about that before, Can't be bothered asking staff anymore who don't seem to understand!
Hi James - the only thing that "fixed" this issue last year was the end of summer! This is still an issue at the gym. Can you confirm what was action was taken a year ago which was supposed to remedy this? I'm unsure whether there are any regulations which govern the temperatures that public gyms should be kept at for safe cardio workouts but would be interested to know whether everyone active are required to keep the gym at a specific temperature. I've complained about this before and frequently have asked staff to turn the AC on in the morning when it is hot. However I'm not sure what can be done to ensure this gets addressed? I had hoped for a change after Fusion but it seems that was a little too much to expect.
Install windows that open. Problem solved at least 90% of the time. James Barber: Why do they REFUSE to install windows that open to vent the hot sweaty air? And pleeeease don't say noise/ neighbours/ listed. Windows that open = a few thousand pounds. The buildings has had this ventilation problem since it was "upgraded"

I too mentioned to staff on two separate occasions this weekend

Was told that the building belongs to Southwark Council therefore it's their problem

So I just kind of realised that I wasn't going to get anywhere with my comments

If the air conditioning units cannot be fixed for some time then the leisure centre NEEDS to rent more portable units as the two they have at the moment are NOT sufficient.

Unless they sort this, come August they will have to shut the gym as it's a health and safety risk to have the gym open to kids, elderly and just your average human being in such hot conditions

Yes I was there yesterday for a class, the air con in studio 2 barely worked, two of us had to sit out for a while and the attendant only came up towards the end of the class to check saying that there was little they could do about it. Even the instructor struggled. Had the door open for a bit but the music obviously disturbed next doors yoga group so we had to shut the door after they complained. The room was so hot, was not pleasant at all. They should bring in some portable chillers at least.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
