I've been yesterday to virgin gym in London Rd, Nottingham as a part of the field visits to some local leisure centers in Nottingham.
I met Joe Lumi (right) , who graciously volunteered to take me on a tour to see the club's facilities and answer my questions.
I will list the place description, the notes of the workers and the my notes as well as a bullet points..
The space:
* The modern refurbished center is located within an old building.
* Runs through a rectangular layout.
* In the middle, a long corridor where the activities are distributed on the right and left.
* Facilities :
1. Before the main control point:
reception desk
Shop
2. After the control point
1 public exercise studio beside a private one for ladies
changing rooms, lockers, w.c ...etc ( available for men only, women only and for families as well )
internet zone
cafe
3. Extra safety point
2 pools
The workers think:
- The place is very convenient for the number of visitors and deservedly done the required role.
- They never noticed any disagreements because people have common goal in a place which is their fitness.
- Despite the lack of the swimming area of privacy, but they do not pose any problem in their opinion due to the fact that the center has not received any notes asking for time dedicated to women only.
- Believed that the center has satisfied all users in shower area. A separate women and men facilities, plus space for those who wanted families, as well as satisfy wheelchair users by providing elevators.
However,
- W.c and changing facilities are not in the perfect location.
- Cafe is a bit small, especially in rush hour.
I'll add my observations later..
