Cleanliness and what you're getting for your money.
Hello.
My name is Ollie J Wright and today I ended up at the Hive for a Monday afternoon swim (which happens to be my day off)
Don't get me wrong - the Hive is absolutely lovely and run by a team of people who certainly knows how to bring in the customers.
So let me tell you a bit about my experience.
I was booked in for the 10 to 3 session and ended up arriving a bit early, so I was very disappointed to still see the fire exit door by the main pool and all round it covered in cobwebs after I raised it with the staff back in the summer to do something about it.
Next up - was the water on the floors, that my friends is a slip hazard plain and simple as you're walking in bare feet after using the main pool and showers, it's all well and good putting wet floor signs everywhere but there's a mop and other cleaning equipment nearby which is very offputting.
Finally - is the main pool water temperature, they have said its maintained at 28 degrees but certainly felt a lot colder than that, other times I have noticed it is when they whack the heating on and that brings it up or after a few lengths, you start to feel it getting warmer.
Sorry Hive - you're getting a 4 for that.
If you want a 5 star rating, I suggest you start sweeping outside regardless of the weather, mopping the floors and putting cleaning equipment away.
Plus maintaining the temperature of the main pool to keep everyone happy.

The Hive in Ely could be a great place but...
It appears that whoever decides on the swimming pool layout likely has never swum before. The pool in the Hive, Ely can accommodate up to 8 lanes, yet they often merge 2 or 3 of these lanes, effectively wasting space.
Typically, the slow double lanes are occupied by 3-4 people, which averages out to 2 people per lane, while the faster lanes become totally overcrowded. Why merge lanes?! The reason is most likely simple: some staff seem too lazy to install the lane dividers. This is the only swimming pool where I’ve encountered such nonsense. Swimming here is not relaxing; it’s simply frustrating.
Furthermore, the hygiene in the male gym changing room is totally unacceptable. The taps are filthy, and the entire place has a strong smell of urine all the time. It really is not difficult, nor expensive to give the sinks/taps a good scrub with fairy liquid and mop the floors every so often.

Back after 12 years
I am on a physiotherapy rehab programme for my lower back and I haven't used a gym in 12 years due to having been diagnosed with heart failure. My induction was really good and I plan to continue building myself up after my rehab but I am apprehensive regarding my heart, however I was told that there is a cardiovascular programme i can go on at the gym so I am really excited about that.

Good experience
The experience has been good so far, however there are not enough machines for the amount of people there, which are essential. My suggestion is to expand the gym area and acquire more machines.

Hi I'm glad I joined - the staff are very recieving and other members polite. The one thing I would say - and that's why I didn't give full stars - is the way the showers work - I understand regarding water waste though perhaps a minute b4 having to press again- what do you think? Just to add - the 10 minute rule regarding arrival- I also understand the reasons why though could that not be slightly altered when it's the last swim for fitness session before everyone gets out - what do you think?

Poor induction,
The induction process was quite poor, especially if parents weren’t present than it is a quick tour around the gym. It seems that children accompanied by their parents had a better and more thorough induction, which ideally should be the standard for all minors joining the gym. The customer support when calling the general support line was excellent.

Have just cancelled my membership
Have just cancelled my membership. They appear to have turned the swimming pool into a nightclub at 11am. Ultra loud music and the worlds most irritating man whooping loudly every twenty seconds. The staffs attitude to a sound sensitive autistic adult was disgraceful. No empathy or understanding of autism at all.
