Michael Clarke Recreation Centre

I love the centre, many options to choose from cardio facility, weight, classes Basketball court. However, the timetable on the website needs to be updated , I went in on the 19th Jan Thursday, for a cycle class in the morning , which was not scheduled. The receptionist was kind to have taken a updated photo of the timetable for classes! Otherwise, people are lovely and helpful. 🫡

I recently attended a Taekwondo tournament at the Michael Clarke Recreational Centre in Carnes Hill, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. While there were certainly some positive aspects, there were also a few areas that could use improvement. Let's start with the positives. The facilities at the center were generally good. The venue itself was spacious and well-maintained, providing ample room for the tournament activities. The floors were clean and suitable for martial arts competitions, and the overall atmosphere was conducive to a competitive and focused environment. One major advantage of the Michael Clarke Recreational Centre is its location. It is conveniently situated close to a shopping center, which makes it easy for participants and spectators to grab a bite to eat or run errands before or after the event. The proximity to a petrol station is also convenient for those traveling from farther distances who need to refuel their vehicles. Additionally, the center's close proximity to the M7 motorway makes it easily accessible and reduces travel time for visitors. However, one area that needs improvement is the parking situation. During the tournament, I found it quite challenging to find a parking spot due to the limited number of spaces available. This resulted in some frustration and delays, especially for those arriving closer to the start of the event. I believe expanding the parking area or implementing better parking management strategies would greatly enhance the overall experience for visitors. In conclusion, the Michael Clarke Recreational Centre in Carnes Hill provides good facilities for events such as the Taekwondo tournament I attended. Its convenient location near a shopping center, petrol station, and the M7 motorway is certainly a plus. However, the parking situation needs improvement to ensure a smoother and more hassle-free experience for participants and visitors. I hope that the center's management takes this feedback into consideration and makes the necessary improvements to enhance the overall experience for future events.

Limited and basic weight room. Definitely not worth going during busy periods. Worst customer service I've experienced in some time with counter staff having an attitude of don't bother me I'm busy. I left my Fitness Passport card during a visit which I called and advised I'd be around to pick up when I'm in the area. The person that took the call said it was going to be left for me. When I turned up the girl was like no we probably just threw it out as if it's been over a month we don't want people's cards laying around. She didn't even bother looking other than opening a drawer and closing it.
