Our comment from FitFit UK about Aston University Sports Centre:

The Aston University Sports Centre, located in Birmingham, is a vibrant and welcoming venue that offers a wide range of sports activities and facilities. Users have praised the friendly and helpful staff, making for a warm atmosphere upon arrival. Reception staff, particularly Noel, have been highlighted for their exceptional service, contributing to a positive overall experience.

Visitors appreciate the clean and well-maintained swimming pool, which is described as 'crystal clear' and offers a pleasant temperature throughout the year. Moreover, the surrounding area, including the changing facilities, is commended for its hygiene. The sports centre also features two halls with multiple badminton courts and a variety of other sports facilities such as squash, gym, and yoga classes.

However, some users have encountered issues with the membership management company, Harlands, reporting unexpected charges which detracted from their experience.

Overall, the Aston University Sports Centre is highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-equipped sports facility that caters to families and individuals alike. With its warm environment and excellent facilities, it is definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic experience: The swimming pool and the surrounding area; including floor and chairs are constantly kept clean; shoe covers are always provided. The pool water is warm all year round; I find these details an amazing bonus, very worthwhile being there. The staff are 100% helpful, courteous, friendly and welcoming. These are a few of the reasons why I regularly travel to swim here as a preference to any other local (council) swimming pool in the West Midlands. It is definitely worth a visit, or three. I highly recommend this swimming pool and their clean changing facilities.

Negative experience: As long “Harlands “ is running their membership system, stay away from this gym. They kept adding additional charges on my account for no reason!

salman 2 years ago

Negative experience: The company that handles payment for this gym “Harlands” is a total rip off. The membership cost 24 pounds and they added 25 pounds charge because their system couldn’t process the payment!!! They have done this twice to me.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic swimming pool and a slice of history. Being able to get changed pool side. In the original cubicles makes it easy to go for a swim when pushed for time.
