Fantastic experience: Lovely pool for the family will definitely be coming back again !
Fantastic experience: Quality keeping fit and swimming
Fantastic experience: Good pickleball available
Fantastic experience: So far I joined just the swimming pool: Swimmung ist very good organised - I'm so impressed. Lanes are separated into slow, medium and fast swimmers. Lots of staff to look for safety and service - I feel more than well protected! Showers are hot. Photos are not allowed - good thinking!
Fantastic experience: You can get all sorts activities here.
Fantastic experience: Well looked after facilities and one of the best sports hall flooring to play badminton at. Could do with a slightly more regular sweeping as it seems a bit dusty sometimes
Fantastic experience: Loved water aerobics class there!
Positive experience: Rather what you'd expect from a large and well-appointed but soulless leisure centre... except with great staff who are super helpful and make up for the awful Better website and app.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, clean comfortable facilities friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Great place to visit. One of a few leisure centres with sauna and steam room in the area. Has two separate shallow pools for small children.
Fantastic experience: Spaced out, nice atmosphere. Easy place to go and exercise.
Fantastic experience: Well organised re covid precautions, good facilities and quite reasonable in price
Fantastic experience: Nice place to practice
Fantastic experience: First time there to use the pool. Pleasantly surprised.!
Fantastic experience: Very clean and well organised. Not too crowded. Easy to book slots online. Best pool in Oxfordshire!
Fantastic experience: They are making the best of the COVID situation (although the "Better" App used for booking is pretty buggy). Swimming is simple, wide lanes, limited people. Although if you like a lot of space and are conscious of being close to people without a mask avoid times when it is nearly fully booked (you can see how many spaces are left in the app). I can't comment on the gym or classes as not been. Changing, showering and toilet facilities are limited, but to be expected I guess. All in all, I think they are doing the best they can.
Fantastic experience: Great place, great gym, great courts, great pool, good staff.
Fantastic experience: Visited for table tennis, vrey helpful lady, easy access, no hassle, good prices
Fantastic experience: This place is great easy booking helpful staff lots of things available a little cafe and kids love it the Little pool is also heated
Fantastic experience: I love this place. I do 1.5 hours in gym then swim a few lengths followed by steam room and sauna. I then have a cup of tea and baked potato with chilli beans . A great day out I do twice a week. My only suggestion is that Sauna should be kept at 90c and steam room is not always as hot as it should be.
Fantastic experience: Great facility. Well done for opening the pool, slick operation.
Fantastic experience: Had a lovely time swimming today at the White Horse Leisure Centre in Abingdon. Very cool despite 36° outside! Also very clean and well organised for social distancing. Friendly and informative staff and lifeguards. All in all a great experience and I would thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility, great staff. Worked so hard during lockdown and new Covid arrangements brilliant. Well done.
Fantastic experience: Edited w.e.f 28/08/10 - these guys are doing a great job. Swimming here is so safe, well organised, fun & clean. Lifeguards are really on the ball and the whole place is being kept immaculate with plenty of staffing. Can't see how they are making much money so god bless them for opening and WOW, they have done a really thorough and professilnal job with their Covid adaptations (unlike some other pools my family have encountered lately). Well done Better UK and thank you. Have been swimming with the family four times this last month & it's really helped. PS - great app they developed to book your swimming too. Simple & quick. Use this place mainly for the swimming pool. Good sized main pool, 'toddlers' pool and small pool also inside with the former having a small bubble-jets section. So plenty of space for all ages, a good family facility. But...needs repairs, more regular cleaning & decorating. Loads of lockers missing doors or out of action altogether. Dirty changing room floors, peeling paint and a slight sense of too much shabbiness takes away from a good community facility. Shame really. Just needs some more day to day diligence & a bit of money spent.
Fantastic experience: First time at the leisure centre since lockdown back in March. Happy I went early today, I enjoyed the swim and also there's nice and clear layout to make it safe. I recommend for the scepticals out there. Thanks to the lifeguards and reception staff.
Fantastic experience: Pretty decent gym. Great service from Natasha/Tasha on the front desk. Very helpful with payments and direction. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Great value for money, gym,swim, tennis, sauna, so much to do
Fantastic experience: Large spacious facility with good parking and reasonable prices. Heated swimming pool and warmer kids pool. Sauna and hot room. Plenty of staff although can be a queue to pay on entry. Nice cafe to recover in and top up the energy levels.
Fantastic experience: A credit to the local area, the white horse has amazing facilities and friendly staff who are always on hand to go the extra mile. The facilities are clean and the pool temperature is regulated well. The newly refurbished gym is always pleasant to use and the parking is free! Definitely worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: Wasn't t busy, but the water was a bit cold for my child and us too.
Fantastic experience: Wow what a place. Loads of activities for the family. Love the gym.
Fantastic experience: Great place for all ages. All kind of sports, courts, gym, group classes. Affordable prices, discount for entreprises.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant heated pool for my 3 month old, would reccomend
Fantastic experience: Very reasonable price, ideal tennis, badminton, squash, trampolining and basketball courts. It has two swimming pools, one for toddlers and the other is a 25m pool. Apart from Saturday, the main pool opens till 10:30pm. The pools are excellently temperature controlled. You will not consider swimming expensive if you realise that there are sauna and steam rooms at the end of the pools free of charge. Each room can serve 6 people comfortably at one time. It is believed the high temperatures can help to reduce blood pressure and therefore stave off strokes. There are also excellent gym facilities around needless to say. The place is modern, well designed and has lots of free parking spaces. Was voted 'Excellence' in Sept 2017. There are only 19 places with such honor in the country. Join today ( August 2018) for pre-paid membership for £1 only.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes, really motivational. Super friendly staff. One of the best lesuire centres I’ve ever been too.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and very friendly. Fantastic clean facilities.
Fantastic experience: Really great gym - fantastic and brand new facilities; great classes - huge variety
Fantastic experience: Start off with a grumble, groups of adults in the toddler pool in the bubbles. Come on, get out, it’s not a hot tub! Also there’s an older gentleman that goes in there that winks at my kids. It’s weird. Please make this a child and parent only area please. Rite, grumble over. Absolutely fantastic facilities which people in the local area should feel privileged to have. Nice clean gym, goods pools, fantastic tennis courts creepy crawlys for the kids is great. Staff are always friendly and always willing to help.
Fantastic experience: Almost as good as David Lloyd sports centre. Indoor tennis courts!
Fantastic experience: Excellent range of classes, though would like to see Water Yoga introduced. Recent refurbishments have made some great improvements and the re-organisation of the gym means classes are no longer interrupted by the loud noises from the weights area. The two pools are often busy and you need to check the timetable to make sure there is availability for public swimming as with all pools. Not used the courts yet but am looking forward to using one of the try sport sessions to give these a go.
Fantastic experience: Good small pool for children learning to swim and larger pool good for practicing swimming. Small pool is very popular and sometimes there is a wait. Changing cubicles single and family and lockers but no coin required to lock them. Little cafe with food and drink. Have not used any other facilities. Part of better group and if paying for swimming lessons at one of their locations then can get membership card to use at another of their pools for the child to practice. Pools we have used in group Didcot wave, Wantage and berinsfield.
Fantastic experience: Good pool, decent price that includes sauna and steam room
Fantastic experience: I mostly use the gym at the White Horse Leisure Centre but the other facilities there are great too, including the café. Much modernisation has been carried out in the gym and swimming pools. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. It really is an excellent leisure centre and I consider myself fortunate to have access to such a great gym.
Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly and well trained the lighting in the gym has been upgrade it's really inviting
Fantastic experience: Good facilities, nice atmosphere join now don't wait till January!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym facilities for a non private organisation. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Great facilities!! Suitable activities and classes for all ages and abilities. Membership is very reasonable. My favourite thing about this centre if the freedom of when you go. With early opening/late closing times.
