I use the swimming pool only and none of the other facilities which are said to be much better than at the Gala. Well at least the Gala has 2 private showers. Oak Park has only 1.

Have had and enjoyed the family membership for almost a year but I'd the price increases at all I will definitely be looking elsewhere. Reception staff are rude, equipment is always broke and toilets are questionable. Need to reduce it not increase it!

I use the gym and think its value for money, but to put it up 100 is just ridiculous it will just drive people away to other places . I hope they're not putting up prices to cover cost of the saddlers centre

Had a family membership for two years. Will definitely look elsewhere if I have to pay double. Very disappointing.

I also agree with this, especially the car parking. There has been many times I have got to the gym and there has been no where to park and I refuse to park at KFC where there is no CCTV, badly lit path and the amount of trouble that car park has.

I cannot afford to go to the gym if the price rises like this. How sad that my way of keeping fit will be taken off me.

I agree particularly with the parking. I’ve complained many a time but still nothing seems to be happening. Why should I have to walk from KFC

I find the shower water inconsistent it's either too tepid or just slightly more tepid then I feel comfortable admitting to. However i have been informed there are controls to change the tepidicty of the water! I'll believe that one once I've download the manual and read how to use it ! Other then that the showers aren't too bad, I've met a nice chap called Hans, he often jokes about the length of time I shower for, it's so inconsistent at times lol lol. He also has the most beautiful angelic voice I've heard this year ... such a shame his a violent bigamist.
Anyway I think it's best to carry a soap on a rope, you need to tape the rope to ur wrist, just in case oak park implement prison rules without advanced warnings. A text alert for Hans came in 3 weeks ago in the sound of a klaxon, I panicked so much and wedged myself against the door until a member of staff had reassured me, I would NOT get buggerd if I dropped my soap in a sock and gaurd.
Fingers crossed they don't ever implement prison rules in any part of oak park leisure center, apart from perhaps the basketball court.
Can we perhaps add this idea to the petition ?
Many thanks, Richard Hole?

If the price go up by next year January 2019 I wouldn't consider to re-join my yearly pass as I only uses the classes mainly not the gym or other facilities. Why there's no option atleast for those who enjoy classes?
This changed will definitely will impact of losing a lot of customers and will definitely find somewhere is more affordable.
It's a shame for the council to separate the cost of the classes to the facilities like gym,sauna and swimming pool. As mentioned some people only like classes without no option for those memberships that's signed for a year I guarantee the council will not make anything or much customers as it is now.
If you atleast meet the customers needs atleast half way to the prices rather than changing £5 extra per classes you might get more people will consider this changes you're making. But to pay ridiculous price of £5 on top of gym membership is a lot for those families who have a minimum salary. I think you are making a massive mistake and need to think about it carefully rather than implementing some changes and will impact not just the council also those people who tries their best to be healthy. What a shame if this will continue for definite next year !!!

I understand that you are going to outsource the direct debits to a third party, and that's why you are passing the £5:00 increase onto us. Bad management.
