0 Stars – Extremely Disappointed

I had a very frustrating experience at the Solent Sports Complex today. I simply forgot my student ID card and politely asked the staff to check my details in the system and allow me access. I explained that my accommodation is quite far, and going back just for the card was inconvenient. Despite being a registered student, they flat-out refused to help or offer any alternative solution. It was disappointing to be treated so inflexibly and without any consideration.

I want to give 0 star rate for this if possible. Really bad experience. I purchased Pay as you go ticket here for badminton. I was told there should be no more than 16 people at 4 courts. I found there were no actual management, and more than 25 people come to the courts to play, some of them didn’t have the ticket but still played.

The opening hours of this gym are honestly ridiculous. Closing way to early and opening way too late.

Closing way to early and not open till 9:30 in the Morning? Are you joking Then being closed on a Saturday by 8:30?

The worst offender being not open on a Sunday.

Whoever designed these opening hours has never used a gym in their life!!

Would not reccomend.

I am going to this gym since November 2023.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good well maintained equipments, large amount of dumbbell pairs weighing from 2.5Kg to 50Kg.

Loved this place! 5 Stars!

Rig Circuit and Abs classes are back up! Really good quality equipment and coaching. You'll need the app to book classes, or go directly in to join up. This place is severely overlooked, this is a great gym hidden right by Jury's Inn!

Solent Sport Complex does not cater for all students at this moment in time in comparison to rival universities in the South. In particular, it only seems interested in the development of professional student teams without paying too much attention to establishing recreational clubs and volunteer roles in comparison to Portsmouth University for example. So if you as a student fail to get into any of the teams you are just chucked at the wayside not ever feeling you are apart of Solent Sport.

For that to change the Professional clubs there need to establish recreational teams to compete locally in competitions. Or Solent Sport need to establish these clubs themselves. That along with giving equal recognition to the coaches and players that help keep them going. Having more links to the student union will suffice as well. I hope I'm around in the city to see large groups of students benefit from it.

Been using Solent gym for just over a month and am only leaving due to moving away from the city centre. Great facilities, friendly staff, great price - would highly recommend.
