Fantastic experience: Nicest place and staff I've ever been to I've never come across any staff member that wasn't nice or friendly they'll go out of their way to help
Positive experience: The pool is expensive for a 45 min swimming session, and could do with a clean in the changing area
Negative experience: The swimming pool needs updating. No money ever gets spent on renovations. The decorations have been the same for years. And to only have 55 minutes swim is not that long too. Also, please can the toilet and changing areas have a clean during the day please. Many thanks!
Fantastic experience: Good leisure center with ample parking (but only when there's not a football match on)
Fantastic experience: Booked for a Pilates class. First time ever attending. Always a bit nerve wracking entering a class with a room full of strangers, but Judy the teacher was attentive and friendly. The people attending the class were also really kind and friendly. Loved the light effects that made the class ambient. Nice gentle music. Would definitely attend again. Judy explained each exercise and made any postural adjustments needed to get maximum results from every exercise. Great, thank you!
Negative experience: Can't play badminton as this court is a cement based court. If you play, say good bye to your knees. Rest of the services I have not used, so don't know much about the rest.
Fantastic experience: I have membership so use the gym and swim regularly. Really friendly staff. Always very welcoming. Clean and tidy facilities and good car park.
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Thanks to all the team who do so much at the Centre in Soundwell.
