Advantages: Nice Tennis court

Disadvantages: Lots of free trial visitors. Extortionate leaving policy

Have been a member at Watford for around 5 years and recently decided to cancel membership. They lost my first letter, had no record of any phone calls. I took the next letter to the gym itself and insisted on a receipt which was given.

Due to their rules, it cost me 4 months subscriptions to cancel. They decided to persue this through a collection agency when I challenged them.

I will not re-join this gym and could never recommend it now, having been treated this way after many years of membership.

My reasons for leaving were varied, but if this Gym is sold to you as being 'exclusive', I can assure you it is not.

The Watford site is also notorious for having an exit which is meant to be left turn only. When driving by (I recommend you don't go in!), look out for nutters trying to turn right illegally. This has been the scene of many accident close calls.

Summary: Try your local council gym instead
