Hello, thank you for taking the time to review us and for the kind feedback. Kind regards
Fantastic experience: Great for all types of sport and fitness training
Fantastic experience: Brilliant facility, needs to promote itself more. A lot of people in Newport likely don't realise we have an olympic swimming pool and velodrome on our doorsteps. Booking system is a bit naff, needs improvement. Otherwise a fantastic place to discover and get involved in sports.
Fantastic experience: Straight to the point...fantastic facility. Lots to offer from classes, gym areas, court hire, and cycling both virtual and actual. Toilets are clean and there are plenty of them which always help in a busy centre. Parking is always available. Staff are friendly. Recommend and hence why I'm an active user. Thanks, Rico
Positive experience: Bicycle go round, shuttlecock go thwack
Fantastic experience: My annual visit to the velodrome with my local cycling club.. and to be coached by local pdq cycling.. Great place.. would love to visit more often but too far away..

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback Carole, that's very much appreciated. We'll be sure to share it with Cerys. Look forward to welcoming you back to the velodrome again soon!

Fantastic experience: Nice way to warn up on a cold winter's day! Watching the National Track event, especially the points race was fantastic.
Positive experience: Had a great day watching. Free entry. So worth while. Just wished that some of the Newport live staff were a little friendlier.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and great staff
Positive experience: The time trial of Oliver Bridgeworth, the eve of the flooding a few yrs ago. Great place to hold an event. The stadium is clean, tidy and worth visiting on any occasion. 2019 I think.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant. We've just signed up for a membership and Rob was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Equipment gets wiped down after each use which you are responsible for. All facilities and equipment are easy to use and if you're stuck, staff are happy to help!
Fantastic experience: Lovely clean gym and quiet even in peak hours. Has a good selection of equipment. Probably not for the serious lifters but it has enough for most gym goers. Unfortunately.... I've fallen into that category.

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors, helpful staff, good equipment (though some spin bikes need some maintenance).
Fantastic experience: Did the stage 1 accreditation for track cycling unfortunately didn't pass but keen to come back and get it done! Scary at first but settled into it after a few laps. Agree with our instructor 90 minutes would have been much better than 60
Fantastic experience: Brilliant venue x
Fantastic experience: Great gym with great staff!! On arrival today, we had a personal female door girl lol
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Good equipment, instruction easy to follow. Useful to have previous road cycling and use of cleat experience
Fantastic experience: Great velodrome to train in with a good track and few gyms in the compound. Whether you are an amateur or pro track cyclist, this is an one stop training venue for you. Check out 42 Degrees Coaching service here. Enjoy your training and time here in the velodrome, cheers!
Fantastic experience: What a lovely velodrome.
Fantastic experience: No complaints, nice gym, friendly knowledgeable staff but very quiet at the moment. Come on members the staff are lonely
