Thornaby Pavilion: Opinions

4.4/5 (63 Opinions)
Sarah Lund 9 months ago

Negative experience: As one other reviewer mentioned, you'll enjoy more if you're a pensioner. I felt too young to be here.

Paul March 2 years ago

Positive experience: I feel disappointed with Thornaby centre lately. It just seems to be charity shops overtaking. Lost the proposed food shack now empty again. Apparently, someone organised to come in. Wait and see. The management needs to prioritise effective use, not charity shops. The indoor store would benefit some improvements and newer clients. Otherwise a nice place to shop free parking 3 hours at present. Have a market on Thursday could do with more stall holders. Has a Wilko, Card Factory, Home Bargains, Asda, Library, Boots, Iceland, Boyes, some hairdressers/Barbers, along with 2 banks and charity shops.

Sophie Jackson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: There's no other gym quite like Activ8 at Thornaby Pavilion, it's one big family. Many of the other members are very friendly and it's not too busy. All of the receptionists are amazing and the gym staff are incredibly supportive and welcoming, particularly Shaun, Jordan and Jack. Everyone is incredibly helpful - can't fault it. Thanks very much.

Michelle Hunt 6 years ago

Negative experience: My reason for 2 stars is that there was only one small lift which would only fit 1 pushchair/ wheelchair my daughter's school choir sang here and i had to leave early just because of the lift situation there was lots of people their with pushchairs it would have took all day waiting for the lift with that amount of pushchairs to get down so i missed the end of it for this reason as i had to be back at school for her finishing on time too.
