Fantastic experience: State of the art facilities, very clean, newly built 50m swimming pool, good health suite, good variety of equipment in the gym. My only complaint is the health suite is not open on weekends which seems odd.

Makka S 2 years ago

Graham Senior 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: So lucky to have this leisure centre no more than a mile or so away from my house. Spotlessly clean changing rooms, nice little cafe, jacuzzi, sauna ... and all for £20 per month. Let's hope it doesn't have to shut down again because of COVID!

Michael Warner 2 years ago

Peter Taylor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very clean. No seperate changing rooms? Time for me to get with the times. Lockers, unisex cubicles. All new to me. Started off in the wrong pool. But my fault.

Sean Yorke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time I have used the pool here, changing area was nice and clean, staff were helpful and the pool was great. Shame about the public swimmers that can't read a sign and make the swim more difficult for others, but you can't have it all.

Joseph Okpoti 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A state of the art facility offering all my physical activity needs such as a brand new 50m olympic size swimming pool. Really love it. Very close to my home.

Yvonne Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Took the grandchildren swimming during the family swimming sessions run here. They had a fantastic time and loved the rafts and other play equipment provided. Due to Covid restrictions we were limited to an hour but that was plenty of time. The centre was clean and hygienic and the family sized changing booths were more than adequate.

Dagmer 2 years ago

anthony scott 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good coffee and bacon sandwiches. Good to see boys keeping fit and enjoying the football. No mud here. Worth the 90 mile round trip on a saturday morning. Girls team worth a watch future England stars i think

sparklyystarrs 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is really nice, as they keep the locker rooms clean, especially when it comes to the pool area you have nothing to worry about as its very sanitary!

Joanna Kisiala 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: New swimming pool is impressive. Plenty of space if all 4 quaters are public (and probably enough if only half left).Hot showers, some in cubicles. Very handy electronic lockers. And Dyson hairdryers! The timetable also facilitates steady flow rather than all people coming and going at the same time (like in Xcel ☹).

Sean Slater 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. I’m a relatively new member. It’s super clean and is nicely equipped with mostly everything. Could benefit from a second cable machine and a hack squat set up but on the whole it’s a great place to workout. Great 50m pool too. Love it, great staff too, well done guys

Liz Beasley 3 years ago

David f 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent pool and gym facilities. Football available also

MK N 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The new indoor pitch is great but there is 1 major issue. It is way too hot inside as there no windows or vents. The temperature inside was a minimum of 25 to 30 degrees and really humid. Imagine paying football inside when it’s that warm. Alan Higgs can you please sort this out.

Sheralyn Mulgund 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had my son's first birthday party and also attended two parties. Very nice place. Neat and clean. Soft play part area for kids is of reasonable size. Friendly staff. Have also played badminton with friends in the evening. Decent size parking lot. Overall good sports and leisure centre.

Debora Stewart 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love the gym here. It's light and spacious. There is a creche with soft play area, and loads of different classes and activities. Free car park always has spaces. Nice friendly staff too, very helpful. :)

Deborah Evans 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've really been enjoying their gym (and creche facilities for my 2.5yo). Nice modern gym, changing rooms and facilities are clean. The free car park has loads of spaces and you're never parked far from the entrance. My little boy loves the creche and the staff even remembered his unusual name, including taking the trouble to pronounce it correctly. The lady on reception was super helpful giving me directions around the building on my first visit. The centre doesn't currently have a swimming pool, so I can't wait for the new 50m one to be built (I believe work will start summer 2018), it will be a real asset to the centre.

Bilal Hussain 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was amazing went there every Sundays for football. Amazing astro turf. The facilities are amazing. Everything was built to the best. Now they're adding a swimming pool. They have indoor football pitch gym outside football pitch

Amanda Higginson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This fitness centre has all the facilities to cater for anyone either wanting to do classes, gym training or relaxing. The friendly staff are always ready to help and are knowledgeable in this field.

Lin Race (Sprockersmum) 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Used to use this gym unfortunately, due to surgery am unable to at the moment. I found the staff to be extremely helpful and supportive. Im only posting in response to even up the negative reviews. I now walk my dog around the centre and still the staff are friendly and welcoming. All in all I have not a bad word to say about the place and can only assume the bad reviewers have been extremely unlucky given the positive support I've experienced.
