Dulwich Leisure Centre Gym

[Marmattee]

Does anyone know if the gym at Dulwich leisure centre has air con that is working! I need it in this heat!

Thanks

It was on in the gym yesterday afternoon but a bit random depending on where you are in the room! The upstairs rooms have portable ac units which are incredibly noisy so a quick blast at the beginning of the class and that has to do for the remainder unless you want to be deafened. EveryoneActive has never resolved the ac/heating problems inherited from the previous owners and are still in dispute with the council. So the customers are caught in their battle annoyingly.

What the building needs is windows that open. Vast sums have been spent on air conditioning and fans that do not work and take up space.

What is needed is windows that crank open at the top of each room. Counting 10 years and the air temperature control in this building has hemoraged money

Thanks cella and mynamehere.....it is certainly frustrating! I might go down and see if I can find a cool spot....

See my earlier post. Also I do wonder what effect the ac problems will have on the new flats next door. Not sure they will want archaic ac systems belching on to them!

Apart from the air con issues, I?m particular fond of the hole in the floor in the weights area ..visions of someone going straight through into the swimming pool below

And that?s after they ?fixed it?

Also those hanging lights are caked in dust, cobwebs and assorted dust

Well that?s my whinge for the day sorted

Open windows in weather like this won't help as there is no breeze. Air con is actually the only way to keep a space like that cool.

I was there this morning and although hot it was bearable.

The lack of A/C totally stops me from using that gym. Unbearable.

I went there today at lunchtime and the heat in the gym wasn't too bad but what did strike me was how grubby the showers and toilets were in the ladies changing room.

The showers were full of flies and smelt really dirty.

Ive never seen it this bad before.

this was in the ladies dry changing rooms.

ESPH's gym was lovely and cool (and fly free) today. Might be worth a try?

I had a look round there before I joined this gym to be honest the offer felt very limited and I wanted a gym with pool.

but thanks!

Despite promises of air con and refurbishments taking place with various dates of closures and classes being cancelled or changed the situation seems to have gotten worse. It's taken months or years to get things moving and it's dreadful today studio 2 upstairs was like a sauna, with all fans going it was at the brink of cancelling classes altogether. Staff can't really do much but apologise but it is utterly ridiculous.

They are undertaking fitting of air-con now i believe it will be ready soonish

if you are a member you'll have received the notifications of this and closure of various areas to allow the work to take place

Are you on reception?
