Love this place , joined this place about 8 months ago ago , was recommended to me by a family friend. The introduction to the club was done by one of the membership team her name Christa . The visit was all about the club and what they can offer to help me make a decision. I was never forced join the club even though I had another appointment with a different club . But the first impression did it all for me . I love the café./ bar you can have all sort of hot or cold food after a nice work out . The pool is nice and warm all the time . They do run some clubs in the morning so make sure you have the time table . Showers are clean too . Yet I have not used the gym or any of the classes but they do look good. All in all love the place and definitely recommend it . Thanks Laith
Pauline in the Pro Shop at West Hants was fantastic in helping my find the right racket. I really valued her expertise and how she listened to me to understand what I was after. Great service and I will be returning to the shop in the future. Thank you.
I came down for the NCL finals. I can’t say any better about this club, service was unbelievable! We were 30/40 strong supporting our club and every staff member was friendly, efficient & hospitable. The facilities were amazing, the rain came for most of the weekend but I was sable to enjoy a set or two outside on the Saturday! Thanks you to all the staff that worked that weekend. I’m sure I probably learnt your name but forgot!! They are all an asset to your club and they deserve the applaud
We have recently moved down to Talbot Woods from Croydon and have just joined the *West Hants Club*. We visited the facility over Christmas and had a trial swim etc. last weekend. The staff were absolutely wonderful, cheerful, friendly and very helpful. After our session we signed up straight away to join as members to this excellent local facility. Both Christa, Jourdan in membership made it all very easy to sign up and have already booked a number of classes as well. We also met Peter the manager who was very supportive and answered all our questions. This club raises the bar to a 'new level' of what can be expected at such a facility. If you are looking for a Health Club in this local area, look no further, you really won't be disappointed.
Great club for tennis and working out, although you need to be a member which isn't cheap. Tennis courts are very nice and well kept, and the gym was in similarly excellent shape, with lots of machines and not too busy. They have a cafe (and possibly also serve food there?) But I didn't try those. If you're looking for a high end tennis club, this is a great option
