Agreed

Flippin' marvellous, I was only in there yesterday.
I paid for my annual membership up front so will have to wait for these clowns to contact me now to get my money back. Looks like Orford Park is going to be inundated!

I hate to say it but (based on nothing at all I should say) I don't like your chances of getting a refund. All sounds a bit fishy to me.

Having a bit of knowledge about this via work, I'm not surprised it's happened and I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the only one that will be closing.

Oh god, no thank you. From what I've witnessed in that place, best thing I ever did was cancel my contract and go somewhere else. Horrible, horrible gym.

Well as a company they still have a decent amount of other fitness clubs, so if necessary I will be calling head office.

It was shocking condition wise when I was a member over 4 years ago so it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The surrouning grounds are an absolute eyesore as well, so hopefully it will now be used for something more useful.

The council run gyms in Warrington are fantastic right now following a lot of investment. I've been a member at TF and David Lloyd in the past at the Live Wire gyms are just as effective, if a little basic.

It says on the website anyone who has payed for the year will get refunds. Totally out the blue this my cousin works there and only got told last night. Looks like the council gyms for me.

Been a member there since it opened and not totally surprised as a few other clubs gone the same way notably Stoke On Trent.I quite liked it but agreed it needed money spending on it + What did TF own as by sounds of it absolutely nothing?Has the Orford Park gym got sauna + steam room facilities as I do like a chill after a session?

Gutted..looking for a gym with a good pool (something that TF had) as I do a lot of swim training.

Looks like you were wrong as this. They just e-mailed me to confirm that I will get a refund (or transfer membership to another club) so that's a relief.

My friend worked there and they have been on notice period for months, fortunately the staff knew about it. No-one wants to be tied in anymore, especially at those prices, perhaps the other facilities in the area will take note. Wonder what will happen to it now, unless DW take over for when their building gets knocked down as part of the regeneration program.

It is a big piece of real estate.. perhaps Morrisons wants some coverage on this side of town?!

I've just arranged for mine to be transferred as I work around the Northwest I've been using different ones. The 50% reduction has worked out nicely for me as I rarely use the Warrington gym.

A friend of mine joined the Liverpool one just before it got damaged by fire and he got a full refund so you should be fine.

To be honest you may have had a lucky escape. If the swimming pool is as unhygienic as the hydro pool I wouldn't fancy using it.
