Swimming pool not enjoyable
The primary reason for my membership is for the access to the pool, it is an activity I can enjoy that feels less overwhelming than the gym. It is well known in Carlisle that The Sands pool is always freezing, and they make little attempts to change this. The Sands seems to prioritise children’s swimming lessons above all. Cordoning off half the pool for lessons to take place and turning off the music to be replaced by the anxiety inducing screams of the swimming teachers. That coupled with the freezing water, I often feel like I’m in a fight or flight state and can’t spend any decent time in there. Additionally, as mentioned by others the car parking can sometimes be a big issue, with The Sands now allowing NHS physicians there isn’t the designated space for members to park separate the general public coming for an appointment. Most of the staff are lovely, and this isn’t really their fault.

I dislike the fact that my account is…wrongly blocked from bookings due to supposed non-attendance
I dislike the fact that my account is blocked quite regularly as the scanning machine on entry doesn't always seem to register my attendance. I have on numerous times been accused of non-attendance & this blocka me from booking my classes.... It's infuriating !!
Other than this, I do very much enjoy the combat and pilates classes especially.

Hi Angela,
Thank you for your review!
We're saddened to hear about the continuous problems you've encountered with our penalty fee allocation.
This can be issued when members are not correctly scanning their barcode at the entry gates, so our System is automatically registering this as non-attendance.
We deeply apologise for the negative impact this has had on you, and we can confirm that the fee has been removed.
Thank you again for your feedback!

Hard to justify staying on as a member 🥴
I’ve been a member with Better for a while now, but the overall experience has become increasingly frustrating. The biggest issue is the lack of availability — sessions are either fully booked well in advance or simply not showing up on the system at all. It makes it nearly impossible to plan anything consistently.
What’s even more disappointing is the pricing structure. Despite paying a good amount per month for membership, you still have to book and pay for sessions separately. That really makes you question the value of the membership — is it just to save a couple of pounds per booking? Because in reality, you’re unlikely to even get 4–6 badminton sessions per month at your preferred times.
It feels like you’re paying twice — once for the membership and again for access you can barely use. Unless availability improves significantly, it’s hard to justify staying on as a member.
