Clissold Leisure Centre

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Clissold leisure centre for about a month now and can't rate it highly enough. Joining process was super fast and easy and it's also incredibly cheap compared to other gym chains. I've used the pool a few times and it's never been too busy for me. 20p for lockers which isn't refunded. Have also used the gym which is great and overlooks the pool. £1 for lockers is refundable. The changing rooms are always clean which is fab and hairdriers are free to use too. The staff have all been very polite and friendly to me. Have also been to a good few classes now and can't really fault them. They do get pretty full so it's best to book early if you can. Really enjoying trying the massive variety of classes available. I realise I'm sounding like a bit of an advert now but there's even a great little cafe in the centre, not too cheap but also not just chocolate and crisps. Anyway, I'm a big fan!

Fantastic experience: If you're a keen lap swimmer, this the best pool around. The main pool is a proper competition pool, which means 2m deep the whole length, resulting in only people going there who are there for lap swimming (i.e. no loitering at the ends getting in the way)

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, kept clean; helpful staff; the main pool is rarely too crowded, and swimmers who disregard those around them mercifully rare.

Fantastic experience: been going there for about 4 years, as a student then after I graduated. really good service, helpful staff. Clean and big gym, which isnt that common for the price of the membership. Been to Kings Hall, Copper Box, this one is by far the best.

Fantastic experience: great community based gym, has everything you need. the cleanliness good be better, but gym goers should also play their part and keep the bathrooms and changing rooms tidy.

Fantastic experience: As an over 60 and Hackney resident I swim for free here 3 times a week.Never too busy as kids go into other pools and wide lanes for slow, medium and fast swimmers. Changing rooms clean and masses of hot water. Facilities just as good as any Virgin Active, David Lloyd club. Small cafe has fantastic salads and baked goods. Worth a visit just for lunch.

Fantastic experience: My favourite leisure centre

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean but I don't think the lifts were working that day Coz that was a hell of a lot of stairs I had to climb. But any way it was really good and I am soo happy that I got a chance to go there.

Fantastic experience: Facilities are excellent. Great gym and swimming pool. Looking a bit run down though and really hard to get a phone signal.

Fantastic experience: Clean changing room facilities Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Very clean place Very spacious I would highly recommend it

Fantastic experience: Took my 8month son for the first time. Everyone was lovely when swimming you can use both swimming main pools as well as the toddler pool. Straight forward and and have swimming nappies at the front desk incase you forget!

Fantastic experience: This is a good leisure but sometimes it depends on the staff. One of the staffs have a fat back‍

Fantastic experience: Joined this gym a few weeks ago and I love the revamp, enjoying the gym

Fantastic experience: Pool is 2m. Make sure to have 20p for the lockers

Fantastic experience: The newly-refurbished place looks nice.

Fantastic experience: Very clean place , very friendly staff , very nice atmosphere. Thank you

Fantastic experience: My favourite pool in Hackney, Every Saturdays I take my kids there and they never get tired of this place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with new floor. Great pool, but sometimes not enough lane swimming due to too many school classes training, all at the same time.

Fantastic experience: Really easing booking I've gone for birthdays for quite a long time really clean environment

Fantastic experience: One of the best pools in London. Gets busy after work when Hackney swim school is also on, so get to know the schedules. Also has a great sauna/steam with plenty of separate gender sessions.

Positive experience: Conveniently close, swimming instructors are very variable. Limited choice of classes for kids. Could do with a bit of a revamp.

Positive experience: Good price, if they made their Ap and website better it would be five star!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Started last summer and simply enjoy each minute around. Lovely staff, super clean premises, gentle and smiling members all over, super modern equipment and a great time scheduling. Excellent! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: A great place to get fit , swim , big badminton court , squash courts and even outside exercise machines, plus the many classes available with great staff who are very interactive , they also even have a small cafe that sells great food , if you ever get hungry after your work out , highly recommend ..

Fantastic experience: Fully equipped gym with everything you need. 25m pool with no shallow end which is awesome for sprint sets in the pool

Fantastic experience: Great fitness classes, good facilities and equipment as well as an awesome spin room

Fantastic experience: Very helpful in this pandemic. Exercise is the best way to keep body and soul ready to fight off any depression, weakness and strength to fight the viruses.

Fantastic experience: Now that the membership prices has changed it’s easier to do what you want to do without being forced to pay a massive price Staff are nice too

Positive experience: The gym is good pool is good sometimes dirty but the overall experience is good 4 stars from me.

Fantastic experience: CLC is doing such a good job of opening during COVID. It’s such a good gym it’s a shame how busy it gets but that is to be expected. The Spin classes are especially amazing!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place filled with friendly faces. Equipment are super up to date and the staff always ready to help. I have nothing but praise in regards to BETTER and most definitely I urge everyone to bin their fancy money making gym memberships and join BETTER.

Fantastic experience: Very nice, clean leisure centre. Customer service improves from my last visit before covid. Online booking is working and is very convenient.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, clean building, staff friendly and organised. Great to be back in the pool. Looking forward to getting back into a routine.

Fantastic experience: My experience has improved a lot in the past few weeks. All the services work, new equipment, new app to book your classes and finally someone picks up the phone. Always loved the Centre but now even more.

Fantastic experience: Finally I have found a centre that provides many yoga classes every single day of the week,more than once a day! This is really important as it fits different schedules and levels of proficiency (beginners, advanced, etc). Well done! A bit pricey, but the only gym that offers a pool, sauna, and so many fitness classes. Plus it's a really beautiful gym!

Fantastic experience: Such a nice leisure centre, clean, great facilities, lots of space, the cafe looks delish though I've always managed to stay strong and not buy

Fantastic experience: Very nice leisure centre they have a creche and cafe as well

Fantastic experience: Pool is always about 3°C lower than is comfortable, presumably so you don't stay long enough to get anything like value for money.

Fantastic experience: One of the best indoor pools in London. I have problems with the chlorine and ventilation in some of the older ones but this one is bright and airy, a real pleasure to swim in.

Fantastic experience: In Loooove with this Centre It's a really amazing place for both relaxing and training! Outdoor treadmills, big swimming pool, health suite and good quality classes.. all of it makes me go there almost everyday and enjoy it a looooot! Thanks a lot! The only difficulty I find booking classes. They get full very fast.. and the most probably for next week you have no chance to go for any classes

Fantastic experience: i came swimming here as a disabled parent with my friend and my kids. The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the beginning, including showing me where the disabled changing room was - this was very spacious with electric door, toilet, shower and lockers. Electric door kept opening even when I tried to lock it but this was minor. The baby pool and toddler pool were both great fun - it was my baby's first time and she loved it! The staff were excellent at offering to support me back from the pool to my wheelchair, as well as accompanying me to the shower. As we live in Hackney, there are great discounts for us as a family with their membership, so we will definitely be coming back again soon!

Fantastic experience: Super clean, huge gym with many facilities, and gym equipment and classes. They also have 3 pools, and a sauna and steam room which isn't covered in your membership sadly. Staff are really friendly and helpful too. Easy location to get to. Has too bus stops. Been going here for 4 years. Always come back.

Fantastic experience: Good value for money , convenient , some great yoga teachers, lots of classes every day, wide range of activities. However the cleanliness of the studios and changing rooms leaves a lot to be desired.

Fantastic experience: Staff are always friendly and helpful. The centre, including pool and changing rooms, is kept clean. The cafe makes its own delicious healthy food, and is pretty good value. There's a friendly family atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, helpful staff and pretty clean throughout. Memberships, online services and classes all very user-friendly and easy. If you live locally it's a great choice for fitness and working out. Make sure to explore all rooms and areas as there's plenty on offer. Outdoor running machines are a really nice touch!

Fantastic experience: This does not deserve the 1 star reviews that everyone is giving it, as it seems like most of the complaints are for the front desk anyway and not the actual facility. The gym is definitely one of the bigger and better ones i've been to from the Better options and the main pool is for sure one of the nicest pools (to train in) around zone 1 and 2. The equipment is plentiful and the space is quite abundant for a zone 1/2 gym. Clissold has pretty much everything you could need from pools, sauna, outdoor treadmill area to squash courts, fitness classes (with decent sized rooms), sports hall and outdoor football field. For the price, you really can't ask for more if you're looking for a multi-faceted workout and not just a fully stacked gym.

Fantastic experience: Really good range of facilities. Decent free weights although not a lot of space. Pool is great. Health centre has two saunas and a steam room.

Fantastic experience: I use it for 8 months now mostly because it has a creche for little once (under 5 years old) but gym is decently equipped, stuff is very helpful. Only problem is when you call them no one picks up the phone most of the times. But because in general stuff is always nice I still give it 5*. Oh and a cafe downstairs is great!!!

Fantastic experience: Clissold Leisure Centre others a fantastic service to the local community at a variety of levels from fantastic classes, excellent teachers, individual training space, childcare and soft play opportunities for kids, social spaces and of course a wonderful cafe. I have always found the spaces to be clean and the staff friendly. In recent months I've noticed that the phones are answered much more quickly when calling the centre, and in my opinion the centre offers fantastic value for the price.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service! I've been going to this gym for about 12months now and have always really enjoyed the classes, instructors, crèche facility and café (with amazing sourdough pizza and salads!) but in recent months I have been particularly impressed by the staff on Reception who are friendly and helpful and the manager (female, sorry I don't know her name) who is exceptional! The staff really make Clissold Leisure centre such a special part of this vibrant community. Well done!

Fantastic experience: This is my local GYM everyone is chill on their on thing. All I can say it's, they have enough equipment for everyone, specially the punching/kicking bag at the lower ground. For me that's the best.

Fantastic experience: Very good I've been a member for 2-3 years and the staff are very welcoming and friendly and also very helpful leisure centre is always clean and tidy. The personal trainers are very kind
