“I started using the gym facilities as I wanted to maintain health and fitness. I have had a great experience, the facilities are great, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The opening times are great so you can use the facilities at any time of the day”
One didn’t use the sports centre initially but said the facilities made good use of her spare time:
“I started going to Foster Sports Centre to get into shape for my holidays. My experience was great and it meant I used my spare time productively instead of on the computer wasting time”
