  This gym is some what of a contradiction surprisingly all facilities are 5 star location Green park excellent cardio equipment good selection of resistance and weights equipment lovely pool sauna facilities
  
  But dreadful shower facilities with no doors just odd worn out plastic curtain reminiscent of sport centres in the 70s
  
  As showers are all part of health club experience until they have proper cubicles with doors it will always be a 1 star gym

  There are lots of choices in Reading when it comes to going to the gym. My previous gym had new equipment and was open 24/7 but had not classes for £15.99 per month.
  
  I wanted to upgrade not just my gym but my experience. Having previously been a member of Virgin Active I thought that Nuffield would be similar.
  
  For 3 times the price of my previous gym (almost) I expect a LOT more, like the difference between a Premier Inn and a Ritz Carlton.
  
  The welcome into the gym is a bit of a hassle, there is a turnstile that requires a barcoded card that never scans the first time. The staff never remember your name or say good morning, I guess they don't have a screen where the guest name appears but after 6 months going everyday.....when they see the scanner doesn't work they don't buzz you in, they let you keep on trying.
  
  As you enter the towels are now on the desk in small amounts as though they want you to take just one. This is my biggest piss off factor. Sometimes the manager is at a desk and looks like he is checking how many towels are being taken.
  
  The gym is OK, machines are not the latest - not as modern as the £15.99 The Gym, but OK.
  
  The spin class is really very good - I love it.
  
  The showers have very cheap looking shower curtains that are almost see-through. Not very 5 star.
  
  The pool is lovely - BUT - I would love to be able to enjoy a relaxing swim at the weekend, unfortunately they let loads of kids in so I steer clear. There is no Jacuzzi which is a real shame.
  
  So all in all if The Gym is £15.99. I would say this place is worth about £29.99 given the lack of warm service, 'towel police' quality of equipment, and the jacuzzi.
  
  I can only hope that Virgin open up one of their amazing gyms. I would happily pay a bit more for the friendly service, recognition, jacuzzi and pleasant atmosphere.
