Porchester Centre

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Nice local gym with pool facilities

Fantastic experience: I only use the pool. I had been having trouble getting pool time at the nearby Seymour Baths & as they are both run by the “everyone active” lot I booked in. It’s really very good - the lanes are wider than Seymour, there is a lot more availability of slots for lane & casual swimming, there don’t seem to be schools using it, the water clarity was excellent & the cleanliness in the changing rooms & showers etc all better than Seymour. Altogether a pleasure to go! Gorgeous well maintained building too. No paint peeling off the pool ceiling!

Fantastic experience: Hugely inadequate HQ and central administration support provided but the Porchester Centre’s management team - specifically Leo and Rihanna - are excellent. Thank you both for your recent help and professionalism. Gordon.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and value for the low cost.

For anyone that likes group exercises (of which there are many avail) I had a 'Sculpt' class yesterday - Saturday 12th Jan at 5pm with Hisham and I have to say he is an AMAZING instructor and BY FAR the BEST I have ever come across. His smile, energy and very clear understanding of the group's needs and ability to connect was outstanding. If you get a chance def check out his class!!!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience for my first visit with two lovely ladies at reception and a gentleman in the membership office. They were all very friendly, patient and welcoming. I went at 10am and the gym was nicely quiet, the changing rooms were clean.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I use the swimming pool only. But I see how good the gym is too. To me it has been perfectly convenient for the past 6 months of subscription and 2 months of pay as you go. Clean water, well taken care of, good space for changing, v clean and hygienic atmosphere. Professional staff, and good price too. Allowing to pay as you go makes it quite special. A plus that is not found in many places. What triggered me to write this review is a situation that showed me how great the management and he culture is in Porchester Center.. when on a busy unusual day, a swimming lady got upset for an unknown reason and shouted at me!! I don't know her. She may have anger issues, or may be racist (I am dressed as a Muslim) or may be was just stressed. anyway she shouted and she was wrong. She insisted that I get off her way although I was swimming in the right direction and lane. When I apologized and left her, she kept shouting. The staff reaction was amazing! Although I chose to ignore the lady's attitude and move on, they voluntarily handled the case. I saw the observer go to her and discuss. She also shouted at him!! Later the supervisor came and had a discussion with her. Then took her away. During that one of the staff came to me while I was swimming and he apologized and confirmed that I am right and she is wrong. And later on another staff member came again to me and explained the exact procedure that took place to finish it. Including that she tried to escalate. But the higher management took the right side. The second guy apologized again. Really, although I didn't ask for that or complain.. it makes a HUGE difference to see how keen the management is, to do what's right. And to protect their clients, and to keep it a professional safe peaceful fun atmosphere. Chapeaux. Big THANKS. And keep it up!
