Fantastic experience: this place is epic

Positive experience: Great instructors and full of equipment. However I think that the cleanliness is the downside for this leisure centre. Especially on weekends the main studio floor is so dirty!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic soft play area for kids, for the price I don’t think you can get a better soft play in the area. They do not allow the soft play to be over crowed with children as they only let a reasonable amount of children in, in one session so never over crowed. You get the perfect amount of time for your child or children to run wild and burn off lots of energy. Very clean and well managed. Free parking and lots of it on site too!

Fantastic experience: We had my son's 5th birthday party here last weekend and it was absolutely brilliant. The children loved the soft play. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was laid back and stress free. The food was really good too. Thank you!

Positive experience: Although the soft pod can be very dusty, it is a great indoor play space for kids. The 1 star is really because it's impossible to find out when it's open or closed for a private party. I called 4 times today, held the line for 5 minutes each time and no one picked up. Such a shame I have changed my review score to 3 stars because YMCA has made it much easier since to see the opening timings. 3 stars because it's stll really rather dirty

Fantastic experience: I was looking for tap dance classes for a very long time since moving from Moscow permanently to London. Having had musical theatre experience I wanted it to be somewhat challenging and fun. I tried many tap classes elsewhere, it was disappointing and I given up and was practicing on my own until I was just near by the Hawker Centre I popped in and a very friendly manager welcomed me and told me how brilliant their classes are and I went for a free trial and I go there ever since. Jill is a very inspiring tap tutor she also does other classes too. Her energy is contagious and we do new routine every time. I learned so much and I try not to miss a week which can be tricky with the new baby but looking forward to carry on and maybe become a member upcoming year. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been members of the Hawker Centre for a few months now and are delighted with the classes and the service. The classes are varied and suit all abilities, the teachers are excellent and the staff is friendly. The gym is well equipped and the gym instructors are great. Toilets and showers are always clean; we've never used the cafe but it is always clean and well stocked. I guess the only downside is that you have to book all classes in person but we live locally so fo us that's not an issue. We definitely recommend the Hawker Centre as a super local gym and friendly atmosphere, oh! and it has free parking!

Positive experience: The Pod soft play is great place for children to play, excellent location, car parking facilities, cafe etc but human factor has huge scope for improvement. My advice always call before turning with a child to avoid disappointment. They sometimes have private parties during the week days and during the half-term there are time slots for entering and leaving the place. The place could be fantastic if staff was efficient. We were misinformed by members of the staff that the soft play is always open on weekdays for public. Often receptionists do not make a note of clients coming continuing chatting or using their mobile phones. They hardly smile or being polite. Their badges are turned in a way you can't read the name. If questions arise you could expect a reply:' It's all on the website'. (While it's not). So if you don't have high expectations from the staff and plan your visit in advance your time with a child could be fantastic.

Positive experience: The kids play area is place of utter insanity. Great facility and a million things for them to do. Burns calories for the parents chasing after them as well!

Positive experience: I have two major gripes with YMCA Hawker, to which I have belonged off and on since 2006, if memory serves. First, it is the only gym to which I've ever belonged that didn't provide drinking water, which strikes me as outrageously penurious. Second, there's just no persuading them to play decent music in the cardio room, in which I spend most of my time. If your idea of really terrific music is Justin Bieber and Drake, you'll hear an awful lot of both, though neither is a tenth as annoying as the dentist-drill-voiced DJ of the afternoon radio programme to which the gym radio is customarily tuned. It's as though they imagine the average age of cardio room habitues to be around 14.
