Cold Plunge & Sauna
This gym features both wet and dry sauna facilities, with gym members frequently describing it as having the hottest sauna around. The sauna suites are equipped with PlatinumLED SaunaMAX Pro infrared therapy panels, provided at no extra cost for heat therapy and relaxation. However, a significant point of feedback from gym members concerns the LED lighting within the sauna, which many find oppressively bright and uncomfortable for the eyes. A recurring issue noted is a strong pine scent that permeates the sauna and sometimes the wider gym area, attributed to a member using a personal scented water mixture. Despite these critiques, the sauna is a favorite amenity for many.
Additional Amenities
Mei Fitness - Southport offers an extensive selection of equipment, including benches, deadlift platforms, squat racks, cable and Smith machines, isolated body part machines, and two core and posing rooms. The gym also features an entire outdoor gym area with weights, tanning beds, and large windows providing natural light. Members appreciate the consistent rotation of new equipment and note the gym is generally kept clean, though there is mixed feedback regarding the maintenance of cardio machines, which some report can be left in disrepair for extended periods.
Staff
The staff is described as friendly and helpful by many gym members. They are noted for timely maintenance on many machines and for adding new equipment. However, some members report issues with membership cancellation policies, stating that cancellations must be done in person and can be processed for a future date, leading to continued charges.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere receives mixed feedback. Many members find the facility clean and the other gym-goers polite and friendly. Natural light from the windows is appreciated. Conversely, some members report issues with equipment hogging, where individuals sit on machines using their phones for extended periods, and occasional problems with the personal hygiene of other members, which can affect the environment. Access can also be unreliable; despite advertised 24-hour access, the system resets during morning hours, occasionally locking members out.
