Really enjoyed my spa/pamper day at the Spirit Health Club, Fareham. The staff were always enthusiastic and happy to help, the facilities clean and organised. Used the gym, pool, sauna and jacuzzi but they also had studio classes, free weights and a steam room that I didn't get round to. Had 2 treatments- a manicure and a facial, which were great. My other half had a back neck and shoulder massage which he really enjoyed too. The hotel was lovely and we had a nice lunch. The bartender went above and beyond the call of duty, going out of his way to give us discount which I didn't even know we were entitled to! If we lived closer I would have signed up straight away for membership as the experience was faultless.

I have only ever had a manicure as a one-off treatment here but it was a lovely experience. My therapist Naomi-Jo was talented and lovely, she was recommended by a family member who comes here all the time. Whilst my nails dried I was invited to lie in a relaxation room which was really enjoyable.

I used to use this gym when it was 'Cannon's'. I was always made to feel welcome by the staff, facilities were clean and appropriate for use. There were always enough machines in the gym and it was a comfortable gym to use. The only reason I left was because my other responsbilities and work hours increased. I would say it was the best gym experience I have had, compared to other big company names.

I visited the college In November as it had been recommended by The Times. I was aware that the therapists were still in training but overall my experience wasn't very positive. I felt really guilty because the girl who did my manicure didn't appear to have ever done a manicure before and was very nervous, I didn't have the heart to object to the state of my nails. There wasn't much conversation between client and therapist; most of the girls chatted between themselves. The treatments were relatively cheap for London prices but I felt for the level of expertise and confidence provided, a donation to charity would have been sufficient. The waiting rooms felt like I would imagine a private gynae clinic to be like. On the positive side, the girls seemed to enjoy working there and the decor was nice.
