I’ve been a member with Better for a while now, but the overall experience has become increasingly frustrating. The biggest issue is the lack of availability — sessions are either fully booked well in advance or simply not showing up on the system at all. It makes it nearly impossible to plan anything consistently.
What’s even more disappointing is the pricing structure. Despite paying a good amount per month for membership, you still have to book and pay for sessions separately. That really makes you question the value of the membership — is it just to save a couple of pounds per booking? Because in reality, you’re unlikely to even get 4–6 badminton sessions per month at your preferred times.
It feels like you’re paying twice — once for the membership and again for access you can barely use. Unless availability improves significantly, it’s hard to justify staying on as a member.
