this is addressed to the owner : I live in New Cross and I need to join a gym close to my home, so one of my friend mentioned me about this Centre in Deptford, close to Costa Coffee, and so I went phisically to ask information this morning (Wed 3rd May 2023) around noon. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with two persons at the reception: firstly a woman around 35yrs with red hairs, nothing bad or rude but very cold welcome (actually no welcome) and she seems like very tired to stay there to give information to potential customers who ask how does it work the gym. After that, I came inside to have a look at the gym machines and atmosphere inside, and the second person of the staff was even worst: he was an oriental guy, maybe India ethnicity or origin, and he seems very bored actually incredibly to stay there just to answer questions of potential customers, all the time he looked elsewhere while I was asking normal questions about swimming-pool, monthly rolling agreement and other, and all the time he looked elsewhere while he tiredly answered. It seemed like he was wasting his time. Maybe he is annoyed because outside is a beautiful sunny day and he's forced to stay inside instead, I thought. Maybe he does not like his job, I thought. In this case, why he does not change? He will have the chance to invest his time in a better way for him and at the same time the owner of the gym could have the chance to welcome potential customers with a simple smile. Nothing special, just a smile, and a minimum of kindness. Thanks for the attention. Natalino

EDIT: I've downgraded my review from 5 stars. Wavelengths is great but I can't believe how much it has suffered since the last time I was there 6 months ago. The changing room and poolside are filthy. There was rubbish and dirt on the floor yesterday that was still there today. The water is thick like soup and made my skin crawl but none of the showers work so I couldn't wash it off. Such a shame. Wavelengths is a fantastic place but it needs some TLC urgently. It's good to get back to regular lane swimming again post-lockdown. I like the new rota system for booking time slots. It means that the pool stays open all day but never gets overcrowded. Great to see that the leisure pool has been refurbished and is open again. It's an excellent community asset.

This is the best GLL Better leisure centre in area. The staff are so friendly and approachable. Ive really appreciated support from gym staff floor with weight lifting. The blonde receptionist is a real asset she is great. Topaz runs great classes in the week and Im grateful for the community of women Ive been fortunate to connect with here. My favourite classes is Angella Zumba on a Sunday and Aqua on Tuesdays (wish she did more) and Topaz Barre fit Mondays and Wednesdays and Friday Zumba with Topaz, also great how Topaz and Rhian have a couple of mornings a week with a series of classes with lovely women and friendly informal atmosphere. Ive brought friends along who are intimidated by classes knowing they would feel safe in these classes. I have disabilities that Ive felt have been supported and appreciated Topaz check ins and support. Downside to this place and its consistent with all GLL gyms is the higher management do not hire enough cleaners / maintenance people, I dont know if they expect the other staff to do it but they shouldnt, there should be well paid frequent cleaning and maintenance staff, how can every single GLL changing room and toilets be so disgusting? I think it clearly needs more investment in staff. Sort it out!
