Active Ken Ward: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Fabulous Gymnastics sessions for toddlers. The staff are very courteous and encouraging to the children
Fantastic experience: I like this place for football trainings.
Fantastic experience: Very good place for exercise. Plenty of room
Positive experience: WiFi is low or No signal, The newer equipment is not as good as the old equipment... But the Staff are o.k.
Fantastic experience: I dont go just my grandson goes but the place is lovely and clean and very well equipped and totally safe
Negative experience: This review is about the cleanliness of the centre, particularly the studio. I do a class on a Monday ,and pilates on a Tuesday. The studio is filthy. It needs a deep clean,with chairs, equipment being moved and cleaned. It may get mopped in the middle, but the dust and dirt is so visible, When on the floor doing pilates it's even worse. Where the chairs are stacked near the blinds is gross. It may be lack of direction to the cleaner as what she is supposed to do? It may be moving equipment etc is not in her remit, if that is the case then others should be responsible to move these items. I did point this dirt out to Chelsea one of the managers. Let's see what is done. Also the toilets don't flush properly And the kiddies session on none holidays session need to clean up after themselves. Most of the staff are friendly. Hope to see some difference when I return after the holidays.
Fantastic experience: Grate place for all ages lots of classes and things to do
Fantastic experience: Great place as I use the gym
Fantastic experience: Great facilities my son played football here . They could do with a better drinks machine though I paid 2 pounds and didn't get any milk
Negative experience: Considering the size of the gym, equipment and the current state of the gym, they should not be charging anywhere near what they’re charging. The gym is extremely dirty with accumulated dusts on and around equipment. Equipment can do with regular wipe down. The carpets have surely seen better days!! If you want to do any floor exercise, don’t bother! You will be sickened by the close sight of the carpet. It is too obvious the whole place hasn’t been vacuumed in months! Gym mats are cheap, worn and stained so those wouldn’t help you either. One would have thought the level of maintenance and cleanliness would have improved since the refurb but instead it is worse! What’s the point of a refurb if it is going to be left to slowly deteriorate?! It was cleaner before the refurb! People are paying to use the equipment, the least you can do is keep the space and equipments clean!
Positive experience: I have been using the gym and attending classess and noticed that it is really dirty. Which is disappointing, the equiptment is dirty, studio and changing rooms floors are always dirty, no attention to details. It used to be a great gym. Went to Copley a few Fridays ago and was so much cleaner and friendlier. I found the staff really helpful as well as I wanted to know more about the clip and climb and a young lad showed me around and explained each area. I would expect the same standard in all the centres
Fantastic experience: Great value and facilities
Negative experience: Astro turf is in rough nick
Fantastic experience: Excellent place for workout and kids gymnastics.
Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: The classes are few but really worth attending
Fantastic experience: Great place to play football and reasonable price.
Negative experience: We started our daughter months ago ... went of to a brill start infact she lovedddd gymnastics here it really helped her wildness whilst being tested for being on the spectrum .. months down thw line trying to change her classes because the times are way to early or way to late and its impossible ... missed weeks of lessons because traveling isnt easy we have been paying for lessons she cant attend due to never having the times we want .. way to full and no way of getting the times we want even when we pay for it
Fantastic experience: Gym had an uplift. I love all the new equipment and how modern it looks like. I would like to see a bit more of other machines as at the moment there seem to be a lot of floor space unused. Positive change for sure
Fantastic experience: Good equipments. Ample parking. Reasonable price. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: Toddler gymnastics sessions are very well thought out with a changing theme every week.
Fantastic experience: My 2 boys do gymnastics here they love it and they are really advancing. The way in which all of the activities are made fun keeps them engaged.
Fantastic experience: It was very good and helpfull
Fantastic experience: Busy centre for the fun day
Positive experience: A great local resource provides a range of fitness activities. It is a shame that it is on the edge of tameside, because some of its offer is difficult to get to, but then if we're somewhere more central the locals where it is based wouldn't have the resource. Thank you Active Tameside.

Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: Good Leisure / fitness centre. We book it for children's gymnastics. Class is well structured in a safe environment
Negative experience: Still no MOD or ex-service personnel discount. 5 Years later after being told they were definitely going to be offering this. NHS get a discount though, but I guess fighting for your Country doesn't have that same "virtue signalling" pull that the NHS and lockdowns had. Joined another gym instead for £14 a month (with MOD discount), 24/7 access and better equipment.
