Uttoxeter Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Clean and welcoming centre. The cleaner is lovely, thorough and very friendly. Since she started the centre has gotten so much cleaner.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Petra. We're thrilled to hear that you find our staff friendly and the centre welcoming and clean. It's wonderful to know that our cleaner has made such a positive impact. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon. Uttoxeter Leisure Centre
Positive experience: Regular user of the leisure centre, I enjoy coming here, nice staff and clientele
Fantastic experience: We did a children’s party here at the weekend with one of our character party drop-ins. The staff were friendly and so helpful. The hall where the party was being held was a fantastic size. They had a large bouncy castle and a good-sized soft play area in there, and there was still plenty of space to play the party games. This is a great place to hold a child’s party. discodayz.club
Fantastic experience: A lovely centre to come for a swim. Always enjoy my swim here. Friendly staff too.
Positive experience: Cleaner than many pools
Fantastic experience: Great centre excellent staff care......need more aerobics class at night!!!
Negative experience: Wank
Fantastic experience: Uttoxeter Leisure Centre: A Clean and Well-Maintained Facility Uttoxeter Leisure Centre has proven to be a reliable and enjoyable destination for my fitness needs. The facility is well-maintained, with clean and tidy common areas and bathrooms. The recent refurbishment of the gym has given it a fresh and modern look, making it a pleasant space to workout. One of the highlights is the swimming pool, which is of a decent size and provides a refreshing environment for swimming. For those who enjoy racket sports, the badminton courts are always in good condition and offer a satisfying experience. While parking can be a bit of a hassle with the app-based payment system, the convenience of redeeming the payment at the counter mitigates this inconvenience. Overall, Uttoxeter Leisure Centre is a great choice for those seeking a clean, well-equipped, and enjoyable fitness experience.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and sports facilities at very affordable prices with good well trained and courteous staff.
Positive experience: Great facilities, not too busy and always very clean. Only let down is the lane layout in the pool. Some lanes have are set up as double wide which halves the effective lane space. This makes some sense for the slow lane (and perhaps the medium lane) for those that are not comfortable with single lane layouts but makes very little sense for the fast lane. It would be a lot better to split the fast lane into single lanes to minimise overtaking, increase effective space and also allow fast lanes with different speeds (a faster fast lane and a slower fast lane).
Positive experience: I was a member for the pool - the hours were not good, if you have children it makes sense given the lessons and public hours. However, as an adult only really getting 2 opportunities a week to swim as someone that can only do evenings - it's not worth it. Plus, I repeatedly had issues with checking in by scanning my card and kept getting emails saying I hadn't turned up which at first was odd, but then given the introduction of fees for missing a session... would now be a real issue as you'd essentially be paying to swim twice. Also the womens toilets in the pool changing area almost never have soap, smell of urine, and the toilet seats are often detached.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities for all ages and fitness levels. Friendly staff who are helpful and keep everything clean and tidy.
Fantastic experience: I've been having one to one pt sessions with Lydia and she is fantastic she has brought me out of my comfort zone so much and helped me with my confidence

Positive experience: For the third week in a row there has not been any toilet paper in the toilets in reception. Surely there should be regular checks to stop this happening? Also it would help if the car park machines took debit cards. Otherwise, no problems.
Thank you for your feedback, we will take this on board and improve the service. Regarding the car parking, you can use the pay by phone app and get your refund from the transaction code emailed to you. If you require help setting this up, please let us know.
Fantastic experience: Very good
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My son had his 10th birthday party here at the weekend and I can honestly say he and his friends had the best time… the lifeguards made it so fun dancing, splashing them etc. I would definitely recommend the inflatable party it was great.
This is fantastic to hear! We are pleased your son had a great birthday party, same again next year?
Fantastic experience: Only used the pool but great place pool and changing rooms was nice and clean pool was a good temperature will definitely go again
We do our best! Glad you enjoyed your swim. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Handy for the start of Bramshall Road parkrun. Toilets open from 8:00am and cafe
Pleased to hear this, hope you enjoyed your run! Feel free to visit us after for recovery coffee!
Fantastic experience: Hosted a birthday party at Uttoxeter Leisure centre, sports hall hire, bouncy castle, sports equipment great value for money. Staff were wonderfully helpful, helped with any of my queries. I use the leisure centre for a number of different things and can’t fault them.
Thank you for the amazing feedback on our party offering. Glad you all had a wonderful time. See you next year!
Fantastic experience: Excellent leisure centre, very clean and tidy, friendly staff - Elise is the best lifeguard! :)
Thank you for the 5 star review Sam and the lovely comment surrounding the staff members. I will be sure to pass this comment onto Elise and the wider team :)
Negative experience: Very poor. My son went for swimming lessons here for years. He's never received a single certificate for his years of swimming. Everybody moved up other than him and he can swim perfectly, never have to worry about him. I requested to speak to the manager and they never got back to me. They told me he is a good swimmer, but he's not been moved up a class and the others are in his year at school, one of them is even his cousin. It has caused him to be teased and bullied and now I have a vendetta with the incredibly poor company. I have now cancelled his lessons and removed him from the center. DON NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE IF YOU WANT THEM TO PROGRESS AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE OF LEARNING TO SWIM.
Fantastic experience: Such friendly staff I always love coming here
Thank you for your lovely comment Rhiannon :)
Fantastic experience: Miło, czysto i na temat.
Fantastic experience: Fab leisure centre. Changes to the fitness classes but still a great place ✌
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff
Negative experience: Far away
Fantastic experience: Good one
Thank you Lady Jazz
Positive experience: Good gym with plenty of classes and a pool
Fantastic experience: Clean with friendly and polite people. Great Kids youth club every Thursday and lots of activities
Fantastic experience: The best damned leisure facility in the entire Uttoxeter catchment area
Thank you for lovely comment Jason! We have the best damn members too
Positive experience: Gyms ok, biggest problem is all the kids just sitting on machines
Good morning Caldo. Thank you for the feedback. We will continue to monitor the activity in the gym and educate our members.
Negative experience: The receptionists are friendly, Amy Cooper is a superb instuctor. The manager seems incompetent in my opinion and complaints/queries are fobbed off. Escalation is pointless. The membership offers are very misleading (be careful when you sign up as a better offer is often around the corner) . 4 very popular manned classes have disappeared off the new timetable (Jan 20) replaced by more virtual classes...and the same virtual classes have been repeated continually since introduced August 2019 and the reply was that to keep the timetable "fresh" . The place has great potential, and a really lovely and talented staff team. Update 7th June 2023. I have now left Everyone Active Uttoxeter Leisure Centre. The promised daytime classes were never replaced. The centre did not recruit more Instructors. The Spin Classes that were over subscribed when they had 18 bikes are impossible to access now they have created a Spin Studio (cupboard) with just 11 bikes, it is claustrophobic. The class studio has been removed to house 4 weightlifting racks that have remained inactive for the last 12 visits I have made. So the big sports hall is now being shared eg Kids badminton with boxercise! There are no instuctor led classes on Fridays or Sundays. The repetitive virtual classes draw less than 4% occupancy ...but they tell you they listen to and act on feedback. It's cheap but you only get what you pay for!
Fantastic experience: Holiday club for the children and they absolutely love it. Crafts, sports, games, swimming - all offered by loving and caring staff. They always have a cracking time and are throughly powered out by the time they come home.
Negative experience: Freezing cold pool & air temperature. Every person in there today was complaining about the temperature. Parents with children were getting out early because their children were uncomfortable. The last time I went there a few weeks ago it was also cold, obviousley have turned the temperature down to save money / increase profit, however this will lead to less people using the pool.
Negative experience: Pool is now poor relation to the gym. (Some people enjoy swimming not gym) Swam here up until Nov not been since til a few weeks ago. Very disappointed by the drop in standards in the pool area I was going to take out a couples membership for swimming glad we went back first Pool air temp was cold the pool itself was cold the changing area floor had dirty foot prints and quite honestly needs a deep clean
Fantastic experience: Attended a sen inflatable pool session here. Staff were so wonderful, accommodating, kind and lots of fun! Facilities are great, clean and tidy. A wonderful centre to visit.
Thank you for the lovely review Stephanie I will make sure this is passed on to the team.
Fantastic experience: I attended a well organised pool session today the swimming pool is much better than it was years ago ,better changing facilities,showers were still poor ,but will definitely be going again . thoroughly enjoyed the experience.well done to all staff .Thank you
Thank you for the lovely comment Tracy
Positive experience: It's hit and miss to be honest. There is no options to only be a swimming member which is annoying. I don't want to use the gym there, I only want to use the pool but it's expensive so the only other option is a full price membership. I wish there was more options but there's nothing plus they've put up the swimming prices too! So I won't be going back now until there are more options and I have been a lot. Because it's shared changing rooms, sometimes you can get kids banging on the doors and trying to poke your feet under the stalls and it's kinda weird that it's unisex now to be honest. It's clean though. The pool temperature is good, the pool is very shallow but always has been. The lifeguards are polite and not on their phones, but they will allow kids to dive bomb. Overall, it's good sometimes and bad others. The pricing options are, well there are no options! Change that and I'll come back. Give us a swimming membership option please!!! I don't want to use that gym, I have my own.
Negative experience: Filthy. That about sums up the showers and changing facilities
Positive experience: Good staff
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: Spot on
Fantastic experience: Clean and tidy
Positive experience: Lovely pool with very friendly staff
Positive experience: The facilities are very good the staff are a credit to the establishment
Negative experience: Be wary of swimming lessons - if you ask to cancel swimming lessons they won’t and they keep taking money from your account. It took several months for me to notice and cancel the direct debit, and then they refused to refund. Bad faith business.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic swimming lessons, over the moon! Moved my daughter to Uttoxeter as I used to attend dove valley when I was a kid and really rated the tuition, this is still the case. Jane is absolutely fantastic and has brought my daughter on so much in a short space, really over the moon! On to stage 2 ! Facilities are always clean, staff lovely and never over crowded, brilliant
Fantastic experience: Love the leisure centre, such an integral part of the community, we used the gym, the occasional spinning class and the swimming pool...also take the granddaughter who is learning how to swim. Nice, clean facilities with changing rooms and shower facilities. Lovely friendly staff...what's not to like...well done Uttoxeter Leisure Centre...
Positive experience: Nice modern facilities. The pool is warm and comfortable. Good sized changing cubicle system. Lockers take a returnable £1 coin or supermarket trolley token. The hair dryers are free to use.
Positive experience: Staff are awsome and friendly that's why I gave 3 stars instead of 2. Pool is small but clean. Gym is small but good equipment. Changing rooms are quite grimy and showers are awful, they really need an upgrade. I've come from living in loughborough and charnwood leisure centre has given me high expectations. Price on the membership is very good, only 28 quid. Just found out you get parking money returned at reception for up to 3 hours. Although 3 hours is 2.50 amd they only give you 2.40 but hey ho. Edit: would give 3.5 stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: Great gym and lovely staff.
Fantastic experience: It's great and I would like to thank all of the staff that were working last time I was there! I'm epileptic and had an absence seizure when I was at the gym. The staff helped me out, got me a drink and sat down with me. They were all amazing! One even walked me back to my flat when I was well enough to head home. I had also organised a session with the personal trainer there the week beforehand and she couldn't have been more helpful. I had stopped my membership too for now as I wouldn't be back for a moment and they were all excellent on the reception before and after I had been ill and really considerate about it. I think the person who made sure I got home safe was one of the lifeguards. Thank you all for your help and I'll be back again! :)
Fantastic experience: Good gym setup, friendly staff, welcomes people from all walks of life. Also the gym isn't intimidating like a lot of places. Since the upgrade the equipment is top notch. Also has air conditioning for hot days.

Fantastic experience: Fab changed a lot in 20 years
Fantastic experience: Didn't go into the leisure centre, we visited the park and recreational grounds outside the leisure centre. This place is absolutely gorgeous, acres and acres of parkland , woodland and play areas at both ends. Great for a family day out or for dog walks. A brook runs alongside, a part of it where kids can paddle, or other areas where your dogs can go in to cool off. There are picnic tables here too and lots of park benches if you need to sit down and rest or just relax and enjoy the views. Families with kids could easily spend a good couple of hours here and not get bored cos there is plenty to keep them occupied. A definite five stars for this park,
Fantastic experience: Very clean good staff
Fantastic experience: Modern and well equipped centre, good gym and classes. Helpful staff, clean. Easy online booking system
Fantastic experience: Great place for a family swim, nice and relaxing didn't feel rushed to get out of the building once swimming session had finished. We went to the 3:00 pm Sunday session, will be going again. Don't forget to get your parking refund.

Positive experience: Being only 11, there isn’t much you can do at a leisure centre. Although, whenever I go swimming with my mum, there is always something at the bottom of the pool and some ‘odd’ people using the facilities. Once, it got extremely out-of-hand when there were large, brown marks at the bottom of the pool of which I alerted the lifeguards with. They did not seem concerned and sent a person swimming in the pool to check it out! It looks as if the pool has never been cleaned.
Fantastic experience: Respect and thanks for the exemplary way the 2 min silence was conducted at the Centre today - superbly done.Special mention to Duty Manager Jane for the experience.
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre. Always very clean. Helpful and polite staff.
Fantastic experience: Small but clean warm pool, helpful staff and great booking process. If only other pools could see that families want to swim not just do lanes. Will definitely be returning. Car park charges but refunded at the desk. All clean and new facilities. Arrive swim ready but toilets available just incase

Fantastic experience: Credit where credit is due. This is my first time in the pool at the Leisure Centre. I am disabled and struggle with mobilitt. The staff at the centre bent over backwards to help me and ensure I was comfortable. Help was immediately given. Very disabled friendly. The changing facilities were spotlessly clean. The disabled changing room was spacious and also spotlessly clean. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Good swimming pool and facilities. Best to pre-book especially for lane swimming.
Fantastic experience: A well run centre considering the social distancing rules. The water temperature is lovely and extremely clean everywhere. Easy to book a swimming session online and staff very helpful.
Fantastic experience: I took my 4 year old granddaughter in for her swimming lesson, its lovely in there and the staff are great
Fantastic experience: Used the gym as a one off when my son was at a party in the area (I live in Tarporley!) and was very impressed with the staff and the quality of equipment. Was easy to join online (for free) and also do the induction online. Meant that after checking out my membership when I first arrived I could just pay for a one off fee and use the gym. Very clean and well kept facility and will certainly use again if in the area.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful swimming pool, clean, bright and fantastic staff.
Fantastic experience: Well done everyone today felt very organised, friendly and exactly what i wanted to feel confident to bring the children back to for their swimming lesson.
