Fantastic experience: Had a great game of curling!
Thanks for the 5-star rating, Teresa. We really appreciate it and are thrilled you enjoyed curling. We hope to see you back for another game soon!
Positive experience: Used the gym here for a week whilst in the area, really well equipped gym, great staff (especially Gav who was very welcoming and friendly) very clean too. Would have been 5 stars if there was some fruit for sale at the front.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your week at our gym and that Gav made a positive impression. We pride ourselves on our cleanliness and equipment, and your feedback about the fruit is appreciated—we'll definitely consider that suggestion. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Quite long time ago around 2015, the valuable experience of Taichi for arthritis has definitely saved me to move forward around a different time. Thank you for everything.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and rating, it is very much appreciated. We're happy to hear we could help with your arthritis and wish you good health for the future.
Fantastic experience: We signed up for the gym and we were lucky we didn’t need to pay our joining fee because they had a special for turning 50year

Hi Faith, Thank you for your 5* review. We are delighted you had a great service. We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, plenty of exercise options, food and drinks were pricey
Fantastic experience: Go swimming here with my daughter and grandson and staff are brilliant and facilities are excellent xx
Fantastic experience: I have been to several gyms in area but hoyland leisure centre ticks every box no matter what your looking for classes gym pool they have something for everyone young or old and Paul is an amazing guy and listens to your needs
Negative experience: prices are terrible. plan for the .. service is poor
Fantastic experience: Best of the best sports centre for a chat n get fit at same time . X
Positive experience: We took a drive upto the centre to take a swim, the place has changed a lot in the last 20 years since we last went, nice place and has a small cafe.
Fantastic experience: Staff are helpful and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. And the changing rooms smelt more pleasant than expected a nice orangey smell!
Positive experience: Really helpful staff,great facilities.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Friendly helpful staff. Car park gets full at class swap over times through the day.
Positive experience: Good gym Nice pool The swimming pool changing rooms are a little dated however
Fantastic experience: 100% excellent place would highly recommend friendly staff to
Positive experience: My 1st visit and although my sat nav took me via China I eventually got there. I only utilised the pool area but it was clean and the water was a good temperature. Plenty of parking and easily accessible.
Positive experience: A long time since I visited, having moved out of the area, and good to see it has been renovated since I last saw it - it looks modern and neat. The changing rooms need a bit of TLC (broken doors,locks not working, bits of floor missing) but the pool areas are great and well lit. The swimming prices though are extortionate. We were charged £34 for 3 adults, a 3yr old and an 8 month old for a fun swim. Charging £8 for an adult, and £6.90 is robbery. For perspective our local leisure centre in Surrey charges £4.50 for an adult and kids go free! As good as the place is it really isn't worth that much for swimming - can understand if it was the Metrodome but not Hoyland.
Fantastic experience: Small gym, hours should be open longer, but definitely cleanest gym in Barnsley, staff are friendly too
Fantastic experience: Went there to give blood did not use the leisure facilities so can't really comment more than this.
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Clean bright, great cafe for drinks cheerful staff, too warm.tho water and air temp
Negative experience: I regret to say that my experience at the swimming pool was incredibly disappointing. Despite the advertised family-friendly atmosphere, my interaction with one of the workers was marked by rudeness and a refusal to allow my eldest daughter to use the small pool during what was supposed to be a family swim. To make matters worse, there was a disproportionate focus on my family, singling us out for rules enforcement. When I declined to purchase band-aids from the facility, the worker's disrespectful response only heightened the negative atmosphere. The impact on my children's mental health was distressing; they were excited to visit, but the worker's behavior led to tears and a deeply unpleasant experience. It's disheartening when a place that should provide recreation and enjoyment ends up causing harm to the well-being of customers. Regrettably, these issues have led me to the decision to cancel my membership. I hope this feedback serves as a reminder to uphold the principles of genuine customer service and a family-friendly environment, as advertised.
Fantastic experience: Really good staff very helpful
Positive experience: Fab place, friendly staff, changing rooms always smell good
Positive experience: Is showing its age, but has been well looked after
Positive experience: Great local facilities with a nice cafe.
Positive experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: I went for hydrotherapy nice clean centre
Fantastic experience: Had my gym induction with Carly. She was so lovely and made me feel confident going on the machines on my own. Highly recommended her for any women wanting to join!
Negative experience: Total Rip off ,Considering this Gym belongs to council ,and we pay a fortune in council tax ,this is the most expensive Gym for miles , £25 Joining fee ,and £35 a month tied to a 12 month contract. ,when JD opens at Birdwell this place will be done.
Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been having swimming lessons for a while now. Instructors are good, but recently she's been instructed by Andrea. Andrea is absolutely brilliant. No nonsense, friendly but firm, and it's great to see how the kids respond to her. Progress made under Andrea's instruction has been phenomenal.
Fantastic experience: My little girl started swimming here and the teacher was amazing highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Hoyland is just "THE" gym _ nowhere else even compares by comparison _ impeccably clean _ world class kit all set out thoughtfully for the best workout experience and hands down the greatest team of fitness instructors and reception staff _ if there were 100 stars I'd tap and fill everyone _ no hesitation: 5 stars!!!
Fantastic experience: Decent
Positive experience: Nice place and helpful staff. Shame it wasn't signposted as we couldn't find it.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! People of all shapes, sizes, ages… a truly inclusive place that’s spacious, clean, modern, well-equipped and above all else… totally user friendly! Would really like to see a couple of Power Plates and Sauna/Steam rooms though ;)
Positive experience: Really nice place with a cafe. Everyone seemed really nice and the place was very clean and tidy. No idea what the facilities are like as I was only there for a physiotherapy appointment. It would have got 5 stars but the parking is very small so if you have an appointment I would get there much earlier so you can get a parking space.
Positive experience: Small gym but has whats needed, needs more instructors to explain the equipment
Fantastic experience: Clean friendly place. Physio at moment and guys n gals know their stuff .pool nice n warm. Gym looks good but too tiring for me .give it a go.
Fantastic experience: Great leasure Centre and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the gym, great equipment (especially the bikes, treadmills and crunch machine, my workout wouldn’t be complete with that machine), friendly staff and perfect location. I’ve received so much help and support from one of the trainers, Gary, who is one of the nicest people I have met in my life. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very good first impressions of the swimming pool and my daughters first experience taking part in swimming lessons. The teacher was patient and responsive to making her feel comfortable and make progress in just half an hour.
Positive experience: Can’t book a slot for swimming so first up best dressed otherwise no swim. It’s a disappointment if you’ve travelled a long way to get there.

Fantastic experience: Swimming lessons are 10/10

Fantastic experience: Attended leisure swim. Large pool, very clean and friendly staff

Positive experience: Only went to attend blood donors session, but found it well presented, clean and tidy, with pleasant and helpful staff.
Fantastic experience: Attended Blood Doners this morning. The venue and staff worked really well. Big big thank you to the nursing staff.
Fantastic experience: Staff and instructors in the gym are very friendly and helpful if you need help, as is receptionists and pool staff
Fantastic experience: Certainly the best gym I have ever used. It's not the equipment which is modern and user friendly, it's not the fact that the staff are welcoming and friendly or the swimming pool. iIt's more that the users and staff are part of a community. There's no body shaming or embaressment. It doesn't matter about your size, age or capability. You are accepted for who you are and there is no pressure to do anything more than just enjoy the facilities the commarardery and the ambiance of a well run friendly and supportive exercise outlet. It's a leisure centre for everybody. It's very reasonably priced ( as a member) . Come and join in. Feel better, make new friends and enjoy. Ashley Robinson
Fantastic experience: Great gym experience perfect aerobics classes for me from Pilates to HIIT. Friendly helpful staff also has a large pool area. Its somewhere i use weekly and really love it
Fantastic experience: Need to start losing weight and getting fit as I'm in my 40s and getting less fat is much more difficult. Joined a couple of weeks ago with an induction from the legend that is Gary, who set me a plan. The equipment and facilities are super modern and clean, it's never too busy first thing in the morning, the staff are helpful and friendly, and I can pick my kids up without needing a nap already. Bit more expensive than the Pure Gym in town but the proximity to home means fuel and time saved make it worthwhile. Plus if I go more than 15 times a month it's less than £2 a session which is a bargain.
Fantastic experience: My grandson and I really enjoyed our visit to the swimming pool. The cafe is really good serving hot and cold food and drinks. There are seats both in and out doors. The changing room and showers are clean and well equipped. You need a £1 coin for the locker. There is a large and a small pool the water is quite warm. We went for the fun swim in the school holidays so It was busy and full of children having a good time but the life guards were brilliant and kept the fun safe. We will be back.
Fantastic experience: This Is Now My Local Leisure Center (I Live In Sheffield). I Attend Regular Classes There Of Yoga, Pilates & Aquacise & I Thoroughly Enjoy Them ALL ♀️ So a BIG Thank You To ALL The Instructors & Staff X
Fantastic experience: Great people very caring
Fantastic experience: A Very good place which has a gym and a gorgeous pool, I would recommend to go
Positive experience: I've only been once, but first impressions were really good. It had a modern feel about the place, and have a raft of different sports and activities you can participate in. They have 2 swimming pools and they seemed extremely popular (judging by the queue waiting for it to open). One thing that would make the experience better, is having the ability to book courts (for squash, badminton etc.) online.
Positive experience: Parking is getting ridiculous with you often having to park offsite. I'm not sure if it's just down to more people hitting the gyms in Jan/ Feb. Staff great but they need to find a better parking solution for swimming classes. Still the same daily issues
Fantastic experience: I went to watch my grandchildren swimming lesson .I have been before but had not noticed how bright and clean the building was. The staff were taking various actions to keep the place clean . Well done to all
Fantastic experience: My wife goes here and loves it Staff are superb
Fantastic experience: Love how much choice you have at the gym and never have an issue waiting for a machine. I love the classes and that the instructors are always motivating so you push that bit more in their classes!
Positive experience: Just done my induction with David. Really helpful and informative. Lots of ideas. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Great place lovely staff
