Cardiac Rehab Gym Classes
Really great trainer (Alex) who provided an excellent tailored exercise programme over 8 weeks. I was wonderfully supported and encouraged and was given plenty of information and had all my questions fully answered. The course transformed both my physical and mental wellbeing and set me up for regular gym based exercise. I can't recommend the course and my trainer enough. Superb!

Increase of membership fee
I was surprised by the new charge of my membership. I would have thought Better would have first written to me to inform me of such a change and I would be given the choice to either continue or not. Whilst I was told when I first joined that it would be only a small increase, to me the increase is now quite significant as I do not receive any income nor benefits.

Hi Susie,
Thank you for your review!
We understand that you were previously on the 2-year GP referral scheme with our Healthwise team.

This is still discounted from the standard Memberships we offer, and enables you to use the gym, swimming and attend fitness classes across our facilities in Lewisham.
We're sorry if you were not aware of this, as this information is discussed during your initial appointment with the team.
We're more than happy to discuss your Membership options further, and we also appreciate your feedback regarding our communication.
If you have the time, please send an email with some more information to our Customer Service Team.
Our email address is: customerservices@gll.org

I was referred by my GP
I was referred by my GP. I didn't have to wait long for the initial phone call. The advisor was pleasant and checked if it was a convenient time. The gym induction was booked for the next day.
The consultant was patient and did a thorough assessment of my needs.
Then came the hard part - the gym.
I was shown certain pieces of equipment and given an opportunity to use them. I was given a tailored and detailed exercise plan and the follow up appointment was booked in advance.
I attend Forest Hill. The staff are all friendly, it's clean, all the equipment work. Cleaning sprays and cloths are available and patrons use them to maintain good hygiene.
Pleasant experience all round.
Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Swimbes is not worth the price tag
My review is for Better’s swimming course for infants ‘swimbes’. Booking the course was difficult as the website is not intuitive for locating and booking these courses. It is extremely unclear upon booking what you’re signing up to. As it turns out you have to provide 20 days notice in order to cancel the next batch of 4 lessons. The lessons themselves are fine but overpriced for what you get - half an hour of the use of a few little toys, repetitive games/songs week on week, and a generic approach to your little ones interaction in the water. There is no assessment of whether each individual baby may be ready for more progression in the water - it’s just the same sort of thing over and over again. 4 sessions are more than enough - you can just take your LO to a family swim session after this. My advice is to make sure to cancel the DD soon after you book!
To note I have no issue with the staff or pool - I think it’s Better’s website and pricing that is the main issue.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your review!
We advertise on our website that our swimbies courses are mainly for building your little one's confidence in the water.
As swimmers progress to Foundation level and above, sessions become more structured, focusing on developing key skills amongst other pupils of a similar ability.
We greatly appreciate your comments regarding the lessons' feeling repetitive and generic, and we're more than happy to raise this with the wider team for further review.
We’re also saddened to hear that you feel the lessons have not provided value for money.
Thank you for your feedback!
Warm Regards,

Brilliant physical and mental wellbeing result
Brilliant and excellent support from my personal trainer Alex. The premises has wonderful facilities to support your physical health and wellbeing. Had a chance to pick on what was well suited and worked for me. I've registered with Better for more good lifestyle choices. Lost targeted weight and helped with my mental health too.

The care and attention I was shown by Alex during my cardiac rehab sessions was amazing. Communication through all points of my journey was clear and professional and nothing was ever too much. He offered reassurance when I was apprehensive and firm when I need a virtual kick up the bum. He has changed my life for the better and this arbitrary w is truly valuable and life changing for those who participate in the scheme.

NEED TO DO BETTER!
The swimming lessons are fine. In fact, I would give them 4 stars. However, the lessons are advertised at +-£38 per month. When you go to pay, you have to set up a direct debit and an additional month's cancellation fee (yes, they charge you to set up a direct debit). These hidden costs come to over £90. As a family struggling with the cost of living, I think this is absolutely unacceptable and we could have used that money for a school activity that that costs a fraction of the price. YOU NEED TO DO BETTER!

Hi Greg,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!
We're sorry to hear that you feel this way regarding the registration fees to our swimming course.
Please note that we detail this information in our Terms and Conditions.
You can use the following to locate our T&Cs about the Month In Hand fee:
https://www.better.org.uk/legal-policies/terms
The initial payment is usually broken into three sections:
*Pro-rata payment - Calculated from the day you sign up to the first Direct Debit payment. This will be higher or lower depending if your first payment is due in the month you register the lessons
*Month In Hand Fee - Non-refundable payment that is taken during your registration. This is equal to the Direct Debit amount, and will extend your lessons by a month based on your cancellation date.
*Joining Fee - This is a £12.50 fee that all members have to pay when purchasing a Membership paid for by Direct Debit.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback on this!
Warm Regards,
Kaisha
