Chesham Moor Gym & Swim: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great booking system. Fantastic gym — heard they’re doing refurbishments. Swimming pool is really nice too. BUT — best thing of all — the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming!
Negative experience: We travelled from Hemel yesterday looking forward to go swimming in the lido however, when we arrived at the lido expecting it to be quiet as it was a Thursday. However, when we arrived we were told that the pool was “full”. We where extremely disappointed as the staff where quiet unhelpful and we had wasted all that time travelling.
Hello Beatrice. We’re sorry you didn't get your swim, however we do state on the website and social media it's strongly advised to book to avoid disappointment especially in hot weather, when our outdoor pool is inevitably in even more demand. Please see our membership page for advance booking info, or call us if you need further support for making a booking. Hope that helps, and hope to see you soon.

Fantastic experience: Lovely heated pool, with friendly staff.
Positive experience: Decent quality, a little pricey

Positive experience: This is the corner of moor Road chesham just of waterside beautiful area nice walk.
Fantastic experience: Very well run and organised, been 3 times in 2 weeks. Love it.
Fantastic experience: I love the wire baskets and the rectangular shape of the pool. I came second in a front crawl race here in 1975.
Fantastic experience: Chesham Moor swim and gym is simply amazing and absolutely my favourite daily routine. I feel so much better for discovering the benefits of a regular swim and my sleep pattern has improved enormously. Lovely friendly staff and always beautifully clean.....we are just so, so lucky to have this facility. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible as its very much appreciated.❤️
Positive experience: Good facility
Fantastic experience: Great outdoor pool. I love the Aqua classes. Great staff lovely atmosphere
Positive experience: A wonderful oasis by the delightful Chesham Moor. A very different place from the rest of the town. 15 mins walk from the underground. Shame that you can only book in advance and online. The process isn't the most straightforward, but worth persisting.
Negative experience: The pool was very nice but the staff are awful they kept giving us dirty looks and it looked like they were talking about us I also was with my kid then the staff was forcing us to swim as I was teaching my kid to swim
Negative experience: The pool was lovely but as soon as we walked in the staff was giving rude looks and started to question us as me and my son went in the pool the staff keep asking me to swim while I was teaching my son to swim
Positive experience: Water is a bit cold and could do with a spruce up, ie dated changing rooms and the lining of the pool is lifting in the shallow end, but, everyone is so friendly
Fantastic experience: Lovely pool and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: I’ve only used the pool - this is that rare beast, an outdoor heated swimming pool. Very much of a community resource, there is a very friendly old fashioned atmosphere. It’s also very well organised & runs with 4 spacious lanes when lane swimming is offered. Strangely the pool is 25.8 metres long. I haven’t yet found out why. You book & pay with credits online via an old fashioned app which is nevertheless easier to navigate than the big operators like ‘Everyone Active’
Fantastic experience: Went with family they loved it. I was a spectator but it is great. Two lifeguards on duty . An hours swim great for all but especially the kids. It also has a small but adequate playground next door. It is open all year round.
Positive experience: Great staff and new pool lining make this a fun outdoor pool and you can overlook the smelly changing room (men's). They set up the lanes before our family hour was finished, squeezing us into 1 lane. Then an elderly regular lane swimmer didn't care, forcing my 2 under 10s to move as he 'had' to get his lap in... rude.
Fantastic experience: Great pool ,clean,just wish we could just pay at door
Positive experience: Great heated pool for all year swimming. Lovely helpful staff that have been there for years. Bit of a community spirit there which is lovely. Still use the old cage/baskets to place personal items and clothing in ,storage on outside sheltered racks . Clean pool , beautiful ,therapeutic,swimming experience .Good showers when you get nice hot water . Only downside is big cobwebs constantly in womens changing rooms, and wet floors as they allow people to walk in muddy footwear so they have to keep hosing floors down,so a challenge to get dressed without clothes or towel getting wet trailing into puddles!
Positive experience: Great little gym and 25 meter pool which is set at 28 degrees all year round. Nice little gym with enough equipment to do most workouts. Opens at 6am during the week and 8 am at the weekend, my place of choice for early morning workout.
Fantastic experience: I am a member and they were brilliant during Covid.
Positive experience: For the price they are offering to use the gym and the swimming pool it's OK
Fantastic experience: Really enjoy swimming here
Positive experience: A great start to the day. Pleasant staff, water perfect. I'd insist on wearing a swim hat to prevent hairs in the water.
Fantastic experience: Have been going here for many years now (mainly the gym and occasionally swimming) such a lovely environment & the staff are super friendly! It’s a good gym for people who prefer quieter places (smaller than most gyms) but usually pretty empty in the day - gets busier during evenings like all gyms. The swimming pool is lovely as well x
Positive experience: Lovely heated outdoor pool. Friendly team and other members. My only gripe would be that the booking system uses credits instead of cash, which means you have to hi through two steps to pay rather than one, which seems a bit pointless.
Fantastic experience: Heated outdoor pool with friendly staff
Positive experience: Great venue for an outdoor swim. You have to book so you know there will be space for your lane swim
Fantastic experience: Ge Great value membership
Fantastic experience: Have been swimming here for 8 years and it is such good value for money. Staff are always friendly. So refreshing to have a pool actually managed by the council and not contracted out to a private company who are only interested in your direct debit details.
Fantastic experience: Shhh!! This is an amazing find. Best gym in the Chilterns
Positive experience: The water was not as I would have liked for janyary
Hello Martin, sorry to hear that. Please let us know what the issue was. If it was water temperature ... it has been lower over recent days due to air temperature and weather conditions.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful pool
Fantastic experience: Warmer than you’d imagine!
Fantastic experience: Lovely to be swimming outside on a beautiful day. Staff friendly and helpful. Changing rooms old fashioned but that's part of the charm of the place.
Fantastic experience: Chesham best kept secret! You get a lot of gym for a small amount of money. I swim here 6 days a week and thoroughly enjoy it.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to swim. Friendly staff + lifeguards.
Fantastic experience: My favourite place in Chesham. Aquarobics class today
Fantastic experience: Debut swim at Chesham Moor yesterday. The Team have set up a competent and efficient system to manage covid / social distancing. Pool was lovely and warm, clean and the limit on numbers made for a pleasurable experience. There is a no overtaking rule for lap swimming which I thought could have been relaxed a little given there was one person in the fast lane who was clearly much faster than the rest of us and who's swim was impacted by this rule.
Positive experience: Small friendly gym. WYSIWYG. Pool, small gym and tennis court next to large moor and refreshing forest walks.. not bad for the price
Fantastic experience:
Positive experience: Cute historic little gym and swim that saved my life over lockdown at a decent price (both included in a £25 a month charge). Although small in space and low on equipment this is by far the best gym I have ever been a part of in terms of vibe and ease. Great staff, no egos, the rooms are light with big windows and the few machines are pretty decent. It all goes to make this the kind of place I genuinely enjoy coming back to. However, If you're a serious gym head, like space or require lots of floor room this probably isn't the place for you! I haven't been for a swim yet but it looks ruddy delightful. Well recommended
Thank you Ryan. glad you like the vibe and enjoy coming here - it's what we aim for :)
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, quick service
Cool - thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Easy booking, lovely warm water with no chlorine, friendly staff and good covid procedures
Thank you Katharine :)
Negative experience: Overpriced and reliant on a captive market, sadly. Doesn't really serve the community and a waste of an invaluable resource
Fantastic experience: Well good. Great staff
Fantastic experience: Great facility's friendly staff
Positive experience: Nice! Heated pool. Basic changing rooms but clean. Friendly vibe.
Positive experience: A little piece of history with the open air pool dating back some time. It's run by the Local Town Council and benifits from low rates. Only one pool for which non swimmers need assistance. No lockers, a wire tray is provided to store your belongings by the pool. It is great in the summer and quite special when the sun has gone down in winter to swim under the stars but it's not a warm pool. Often events in summer bbq etc. To keep an eye out for and a nice play area for kids outside for free. Small seating area inside with soft drinks available. Changing rooms are small and looking a bit run down now. Gym is good value but quite small, doesn't take many to make it a wait for equipment. Not a great deal of weight equipment generally 1of each of the common items and 3 of each of the common aerobics. No didcated doorstep parking but 1min walk is the Moor car park which is free.
Fantastic experience: Nice and quiet
Positive experience: Went there for an afternoon swim. Turned up for the last hour our first time there. Amy helps us with everything and was very confident and professional. Lovely little pool only lost a star a the ladies showers where not great. Cold and very weak pressure.
Fantastic experience: Great place with great sraff
Fantastic experience: Staff are great and the price is stunningly good.
Positive experience: It's a cheap gym
Positive experience: Good pool, friendly staff. Changing rooms could do with updating but other than that great little place
Positive experience: good safe place good to relax
Fantastic experience: Love this heated outdoor pool. They use a different water treatment to chlorine so it’s kinder in your eyes. Very old fashioned, no lockers, but wire baskets for your clothes, like it! Have swimming stuff for sale and a gym, tennis courts, free parking and good value!
Fantastic experience: Gym & Swim & Tennis courts for about £26 a month is a good deal in my book.
Fantastic experience: Fab
Fantastic experience: Favourite pool in the area
Fantastic experience: Uszoda kipróbálva, szuper. Télen - nyáron.
Negative experience: Staff were very pleasant but changing rooms are run down and gym has no area for floor exercise. Paid £25 up front but definitely won't be returning.
Positive experience: Very cool, like it a lot, some staff were a bit rude. Shame...
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and clean facilities
Positive experience: Busy
Fantastic experience: Great value , swim gym

Positive experience: Great gym with good facities and classes. The staff are really friendly. Pool can get busy at times.
Fantastic experience: Great place
Thank you so much :)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly family gym and swimming pool.. we are never disappointed
Fantastic experience: I hate going to the gym but it's a nice place to suffer for and hour or so. Staff are always friendly and happy to help.
Positive experience: Nice sunday afternoon adults only swim outside. Good amount of parking and nice location. Changing rooms could do with an up date
Fantastic experience: Lovely outdoor pool. Water is a good comfortable temperature. Friendly staff.
Positive experience: Lovely open air traditional warm pool with great friendly staff. Very busy as you may expect once the sun comes out - full of people, with queues at the door. Plenty of lifeguards to cope with the demand, credible marks to the management. During previous summers, baskets of flowers have adorned the walls. Murky water though and if you can see it, don't look closely at the bottom - needs a good clean! Grumpy customers - reserving chairs.. akin to Benidorm towels at dawn!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Love the pool ❤
Fantastic experience: Simple. Easy. Friendly staff. Not over priced. Loads of parking. Always clean and tidy
Positive experience: The water is warm
Fantastic experience: It is so cheap with amazing facilities
Fantastic experience: The staff are very friendly and helpful. The amenities are great. You feel like your in holiday when you ho for a swim and the little cafe is great when it's open. The gym is friendly and easy to use after your induction. They even have tennis court's to hire.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to go swimming very heated swimming pool.
Fantastic experience: It is a fantastic little gem with outdoor pool, courts and a small gym.
Fantastic experience: Really brilliant outdoor winter swimming. Lovely place.
Positive experience: I attend this gym. This is a Great gym but the space here is limited. It has the essentials but it could do with some extra equipment for example a decline bench that could be used for bench press and maybe adjusted for decline sit ups. I think for the money it is probably the best in terms of membership and being cost effective In the area. Full Members here paying £25 PM get access to swimming gym and tennis courts at no extra cost. So you get more for your money. The greatest thing is there is no long term contract so if you change your mind your not stuck with a fee for leaving.
Positive experience: Great open air pool. Heated in winter so you can swim here all year round. Even when it snows!
Positive experience: The outdoor pool is amazing, and the gym is adequate. Don't expect much from the changing rooms though.
Fantastic experience: Little gem. Great place, great people. A real asset to the community.... they should be very proud.
