Fantastic experience: Cool and calm place with friendly staff
Positive experience: Well run with upto date equipment and friendly staff.
Positive experience: Functional but showing signs of old age
Fantastic experience: Night sessions are the best, wish
Fantastic experience: Good facilities.
Negative experience: The gym is great but parking is awful Hope construction is completed soon, its a hazard driving along to the gym
Positive experience: Came here for a basketball training, nice court, facilities i.e toilet, reception, etc. downside is roadworks ongoing making access a little challenging at this time of visit
Positive experience: Very interactive staff Very annoying the centre is closing for 2 weeks. Extra excitement today, we were there for a trial fire evacuation - luckily not raining! The council are digging up the car park, very noisy and restricted access. Parking now very limited. Also access now has enormous long and high speed bump, cunningly designed to hit the under side of your car. The speed bump is horrendous, it needs to be driven across at an ang angle
Fantastic experience: We use the gym, very friendly and helpful staff.
Negative experience: The staff is lovely except for this Asian girl. She has been incredibly rude and plain mean. No empathy. The one star is just because of that. The rest of the staff are lovely.

Positive experience: Played volleyball and badminton. Wooden courts are good but we might get confused because of way too many court markings.
Positive experience: Awesome facility, gym is good and the squash courts are good to have as well as the large basketball courts to use. Staff are always friendly and willing to assist best they can. There are dodgy people around and the cars have been broken into in the past which is a downer. This place has potential, hopefully with the town centre upgrade, it will be more safer and lively.

Negative experience: 06/12/20 today we payed volley ball at this place from 10am to 12pm and the lady at the reception was very rude to the players and it was very disappointing to get this sort of customer service.we come to play every time to play but this was disappointing to get this type of customer service .
Negative experience: Indoor cort is really good and specious but today (6/12/2020) Sunday mng staff was very rude.
Fantastic experience: My go to place for stress relief and exercise. Excellent classes, facilities and great staff.
Fantastic experience: Awesome vibes highly recommend this venue for group sessions...try out Tiny & Camille's combat classes
Negative experience: It is really annoying that, lady sitting on the front desk during Sunday morning is behaving very badly to customers who came to play volleyball and she doesn’t even know how valuable a customer is. We have been playing here since long ago, but her behaviour to us is really rude and unacceptable.. I don’t know the name of that lady. It is really bad
Negative experience: Do not recommend this place if you want a good customer service. The lady at the front desk is not polite, rude and very unfriendly. We have been playing here on Sundays for almost 6 months and we are being treated this way. Never would suggest this place in regards to the customer service.
Negative experience: Amazing place...but staff works in the reception (on Sunday )was not friendly. We was playing vollyball and basketball twice in a week.she was very rude today,switched off the light before our paid time.YMCA onehunga is better than allan Brewster.we booked the same for next week.i am really sorry to say this.
Negative experience: Have been playing here for a while but the Sunday staff on 6/12/2020, was very rude and not friendly at all. There should be a certain level of calmness that should be there with the staff when in customer servicing role The court and facilities are good, but at the end of the day, customer service also plays a crucial role in keeping the morale up.
