Save our Bar

Reinstate the bar!

I am very disappointed about the loss of this service. I buy tea or coffee each time I come to the gym. No consultation with customers. Just heard word of mouth. Not good enough

I totally understand the bar going, BUT for the life of me o really don’t understand the coffee shop!! The club is a ‘Health and WELLBEING club’ that includes having a meeting place where people can relax and have a coffee with others. Some of our members have lost partners, some live on their own, so having a lovely place to come and have a coffee and chat with friends is an important part of their WELLBEING!!!! I have been a member since the met club days, and have made some life long friendships through the club, we like to workout and have a coffee afterwards. I think this is very shortsighted of you to close it down!! You should be ashamed of yourselves as you are taking part of our wellbeing away!! Our memberships have gone up and you want to take away something that is good!

A key factor in having a membership at this gym over your competitors… please rethink

We use this facility has our social club bit of training and a drink and chat after a nice sauna.please do not close it is a lifeline for a lot of people.

This bar/cafe is a community hub. Many people on there own stop for company .this maybe only people they see.

If the coffee shop area goes it just changes one of the reasons for my membership. I accept that tje gym doesnt have top quality facilities but taking away our social hub will be a step too far.

Please keep our coffee shop open....It is the centre of our social hub.......We are loyal members....Please respect our appeal

I love the club just the way it is. The people are so friendly where members or gym staff, to change this now would be a detriment to the Nuffield name. I look forward to enjoying my coffee (drink) with my friends and associates in the future.

The bar/ cafe is an important part of the members health and well being . A meeting area where social interaction takes place new friendships are made and times together are shared. Nuffield promotes health and wellbeing. Wellbeing includes holistic care. Mentally health and psychological wellbeing should be part of that! Close the bar and you’ll loose that part . Nuffield is a unique centre. The bar staff care, friendships have been made with members… you don’t get that at other health centres…. Don’t jeopardise your members holistic wellbeing for financial reasons… KEEP THE BAR/ CAFE

I use the cafe regulary it helps my well being and being able to meet friends and new friends too and always tanya is do friendly she keeps up the moral of the place

We need the cafe open for piece of mind

What a great disappointment that you getting rid of the coffee and bar at Nuffield. I have been a member for over 16 years and it feels like a community with fantastic staff and amazing members, to get rid of the bar/coffee you will loose so many members and who can blame them without the above, old equipment in the gym, that is always broken and take ages to mend - probably because it’s knackered and no air con for 7 weeks it’s disgusting how you treat your members . It feels like you are winding down the club. Needs action otherwise no members!

I would urge the management to consider the wider implications of closing the bar/cafe. This facility makes Nuffield Portsmouth ‘ a club‘ rather than just a gym. Over the years I have seen many members move on and then return because they miss ‘the club’. I for one will be considering if I stay at the club if this facility is removed.

Closing the cafe/bar without any sort of consultation towards both staff and members is an absolute disgrace. Tanya, Vanessa and Bev are three of your best staff for gods sake. Nuffield as a club seems to be hell bent on destroying itself. Speechless really.

I having been coming to this gym for more then 30 years it’s not just a gym but has always been part of our social life as well where we all meet after classes for coffee and a chat all our friends think the same and we r a large group hope u will reconsider closing the coffee shop i think you will lose lots of members first the jacuzzi and now the coffee bar not a happy member

I am totally opposed to the care & bar being closed down. We need it !

Part of the whole package , wellbbeing

We also need to keep the coffee cafe open. Each month they hit their targets so it’s ridiculous it should close.

The heart beat of the club, only thing that always works
