Acorns Health and Leisure Limited ® - East Grinstead

Excellent Sauna & Jacuzzi. Nice staff. Because it's a private club you are going to pay more. Now, this can be an issue compared to prices offering the same service, and facilities. It's a amazing place. My only observation, I think there should be separate prices for the sauna & Jacuzzi. Price is a little expensive but private clubs do charge more. However charging more can see this amazing club changing hands too often.

I have been a member for the past month.
The staff at the reception are very friendly and helpful.
Intro to gym was very good also - and the classes are great!
There is sauna - steam room is being built at the moment together with swimming pool.
Look forward to using all facilities!
Great little gym!

Can't really recommend this gym/pool.

Starting prices are insanely high, not only do they lock you into a 12 month contract but they also charge a joining fee.

Staff are either clueless or rude, gym equipment are outdated and the pool is tiny and divided into 4 lanes.

You can get much a better experience and value elsewhere.

Joined this gym whilst at uni on a 3 month student deal. The overall gym is tired and very small, although most gym equipment is here if you are paying full price for this I would expect more. The machines and weights are worn and when your here during a time when it's busy you'll struggle to move. They also host what looks like classes in the middle of the gym so if you like to use the floor for ab work, you'll have to wait until they are done. The changing room facilities are also in need of a revamp. They have enough lockers but the showers and toilets are quite disgusting. When showering don't expect to have any privacy as there is no separation just shower heads lined up in rows, almost like going back to school. As far as using the toilets they were tired and always had some sort of odour especially the urinal. However the staff always seemed friendly and were happy to help, the bar always looked nice and if you like something after your workout, there are protein shakes on offer. I'm giving it two star due to what you get for your money and also the fact that my student 3 month membership did not actually mean 3 months as they will automacally renew your contract unless you state a month before. They do this with every membership so be warned as I was not. Probably won't be going back

Probably not worth the hefty membership fees, but this is an independent gym so pricing is understandable. What's not understandable is the staff mentality - bit standoffish and make it feel you've inconvenienced them to walk from their social engagement at the bar to scan my card. Rather scan the card myself and skip the rudeness. The equipment works and does what you need to do, few new running, row and cycle machines. Plenty of weights around, even in busy times if that's your deal, though no room at the mirror from all the skinny legged dudes checking themselves out. My biggest issue is the pool and their schedule. Seems as a member you get about 2 hours a day to use it at odd hours. The rest of the day is booked with "Family Time", swim lessons and other activities meaning you can almost never use the pool, with the narrow window, every member uses it and once you get three people swimming, there's no room - it's incredibly frustrating.

I have been a member here for over 4 years and joined as they have a creche attached to it (which you pay for separately) meaning I could put my baby in there and workout or go to a class. They have a great range of classes, lovely warm swimming pool and a bar area to get a drink/food afterwards. The staff work really hard and in my experience are very friendly. The only thing that could do with an upgrade really is the showers but they do the job so I'm not that bothered.

We chose to use Acorns to host my husbands 40th party recently and it was a fantastic night and went perfectly! Everyone had such a good time and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend Acorns as a function facility and private gym especially if you are a mum needing some 'me' time.

As a member I see the ups and downs of this place. The staff and social aspect of the gym is the main winner in my eyes. So friendly and always up for a giggle. The food and drink is great at the bar too.
Equipment is clean and tidy. However the thing that currently lets this place down is the overall age and appearance. It's a but tired in places with tiles missing in the steam room, dirty floors in the changing rooms and showers, the swimming pool area is also a little lacking in a little TLC.
Good value for money if you choose the right membership though.
