Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Weight Loss with BETTER programme at The Greenwich Centre. The course was well run and engaging with lots of interaction and discussion within the group. A lot of this was due to the Group Leader Sarah. Sarah is warm, funny, motivating and supportive. She made the exercises in the class fun. In the gym, Sarah showed you how to use the different equipment and motivated you to try them and provided alternative exercises like Swimming, Power pump, Spin and BeActive Gym to try to. I achieved my main goal which was to lose weight and reduce my blood sugar as I am a type 2 diabetic. The results were very good and more importantly, I am still motivated to continue. I have taken advantage of the Membership Offer which is really good value to ensure I stay on track. I would like to thank Sarah and the Team for their friendly open manner and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Better leisure centre with gym, pools and various classes, a library with access to computers, story time and a crèche. WiFi included GP surgery, ESL school ( I think) all on 4 floors.... The staff are friendly especially in the library, it's nice to know they take pride in their jobs also in the gym, which is very up to date with every machine or class you'd need. Open from 6am weekdays, 8am Sat/Sun plenty of time to do a workout ‍♀️ There are also swimwear, goggles etc on sale in foyer ........ Free to join the library just bring proof of address, you can also get a tour of the leisure centre facilities before you decide to sign up

Fantastic experience: I was actually really impressed with the swimming facilities. Took my 3 month old son for our first swim here and the facilities are excellent. Lots of family changing rooms with good sturdy baby changing tables. Lockers for 20p. And with the booking system they keep the numbers of people in the pool to an acceptable level - maybe 20 people in the learner pool but it's big enough. There's also a great viewing area for other parents to watch from.

I love the greenwich center the staff are brilliant, Pete the personal trainner is always there to give you a hand if you need it, or Steve is there to give you any support of incouragement. Sarah to boost your confidence. Even love the classes with Helen and Renatta they are fantastic teachers always encouraging you and correcting when you are not doing it properly. Very helpful team.

Fantastic experience: I would like to commend two staff members in this centre as they work really hard to keep this place at a high standard.Andreas from COLOMBIA, very helpful and hard working. He did an amazing job of cleaning the very dirty tiles of the shower accessing the swimming pool and his approach to people is great. I also would like to commend Steve, the former taxi driver who has an amazing customer service approach to his work. Please, give to them some praise. Thank you Regaeds Maria

Carolina Azevedo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I like the gym. Staff are nice and helpful But what holds me at this gym (and this is personal) are the rebounding classes i go every Tuesday night. They are the light of my weeks. It is sooooo energising and the instructor is just so inspiring. The other days I do gym, normal weight lifting, which is great. Something to improve would be to have more rebounding classes through the week . However, they have good fitness classes overall.

Kelly Michailidis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I always look forward to Katie's HIIT classes she is a brilliant instructor her positivity and energy shines on people in the class plus her playlist is spot on every time I always come out of her classes feeling fabulous and on a high.

Michael Suberu 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: You can do so many things here, including a sit out. There is a library, an NHS health center, a gym, fast food etc Nice sculptures all around. Really a nice place to visit. Kids are allowed around and other places or offices in those buildings require initial consultation or appointments. The building in the center of these sphere is where the Library is located. It has two floors and the 2nd floor is where you find NHS.

Ellie Winer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As mum of a toddler this center is the perfect place for our days off together. The swimming facilities are great and the changing rooms are always spotless. The staff always welcome us with a smile when we arrive :)

Marc Ridgway 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been to the club on a few occasions, all staff are friendly and informative. Surprisingly enough it’s very bright and welcoming even though the facilities are in the basement. My only gripe was there are not enough weight benches so can imagine peak times are manic.

Dickie Davis 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The centre's facilities are excellent - and the staff make the place. The centre manager is always around, friendly and helpful. The pool and gym staff clearly all get on well and work well as a team. The pool is well maintained and the gym is always in good shape. Great value for a monthly membership.

Niamh Hawe 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a tour of the Better gym and pool by Mayra. She was so informative and helpful. I signed up straight away and have been delighted ever since. The facilities are great. It’s never too busy. The classes are fun and the studio is massive so plenty of space to social distance throughout. Would highly recommend.

Trevor Gale 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Being recently retired I have visited Greenwich Leisure Centre on several occasions. The facilities at the centre are second to none. I have used the Pool/Gym and Library sometime all in one day. I find the staff are always approachable and have been very helpful on several occasions. A great all round experience.

Paula Guerra Collar 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great place. I have been going to the gym there for a while now and I've got to say it is very clean and practical, plus the classes are amazing. The only thing I don't like is how dark the gym is.

Alexis M Wellington 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The gym is well equipped and clean. They have spinning classes, HITT, power pump, aerobics and more and swimming classes too. Although the gym is clean the swimming pool is small and the swimming pool changing room smells like feet when kids are around… sorry not trying to be mean but I would try to avoid going swimming when kids are around. The locker located in the gym is £1 (the locker will give you back your coin when you return the keys) The lockers located in the swimming pool are inside 20 P each time you use them so not refundable.

Agustina Santos Pollaci 2 years ago

Positive experience: Nice swimming pools and lessons for my toddler. Unlikely other better gyms I know, this one charges for lockers and hair dryers, and does not have spin to rinse the swimsuit. Although it's not a big deal, it's annoying to have to carry coins to pay locker, pay hair dryer, or have to take everything with you.
