Active LifeStyle Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: All good only two things are missing one is weight scale second abs machine these are most important.
Fantastic experience: Kids gymnastics facilities are good.
Positive experience: Came here for my niece 5th birthday party. My sister and I decorated the room whilst all the children were having fun in the soft play. The room was down a long corridor, which was ideal as we had music playing. The only issue was there wasn't a door, so we had to stack chairs in place of the door to stop some attempted escapes.
Fantastic experience: Great spotscentre you want it they got you
Positive experience: Had my grandsons 2nd birthday party there ,it was fun but the only thing was there there was another party going on at the same time so it was a bit chaotic
Negative experience: Terrible customer service. Projector falty in spin class. Pump class never starts on time. Pool change stinks of urine.
Fantastic experience: Busy community leisure centre with lots going on
Fantastic experience: Very friendly leisure centre. With great staff who have been so helpful to me and my husband
Negative experience: Swimming pool very often dirty and with cold water, not to mention horrible smells from the changing rooms. Staff shutting down equipment way before closing time, absolutely ridiculous! Not to mention how they are keep reducing the opening times. And be careful when cancelling your membership; I needed to go through the bank to cancel because their management was keep insisting on my renewal!!
Fantastic experience: Council One stop shop, l assume situated in the Leisure Centre Complex.Always helpful,even if the Council charge us a pretty penny for the privilege. Friendly helpful staff and always seem efficient.Cant go overboard in my praise, it is the Council after all and us 'old uns' are way down on their priority .The one stop is one ray of sunshine in an ever financially grasping world.
Fantastic experience: The environment is very nice. The people are friendly and, because it's a community centre, it is often that people will see neighbours and friends here.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the circuits training sessions which take place on a Monday and Thursday, great instructors and especially good music being played during this evenings session.
Fantastic experience: Good size, decent parking, and new gym equipment is really good
Fantastic experience: Clean tidy and great staff
Fantastic experience: Nice place to go swimming
Fantastic experience: Great space, lots of new gym equipment, and nice and cool in there
Negative experience: Today i been in Active LifeStyle Centre to join to the gym, but from reception they didn’t let me going in and check the new investment of equipment for 1M pounds. Obviously they want to keep it for them self. Very sad. Never again, this is my first and last time in this central.
Negative experience: Incompetent staff, never seem to have any idea what is going let alone know what classes are running. Ridiculous turned up for a 10am yoga class, only to find the class was cancelled! Disorganised and very poor communication and customer service. I am thinking of leaving for a better gym! Management are even worse rude, you and immature with little to no people skills. Worst managed gym I have attended. Class system is very disorganised.
Positive experience: It's a good swimming pool haven't tried the gym there yet
Fantastic experience: I've have been coming to this gym for about a month now and in my time here it has been fantastic. The facilities inside the gym are top tier and the staff members are extremely friendly, kind and helpful. The swimming pool is also a excellent size and heated. The parking facilities are plentiful.
Negative experience: The prices of swimming lessons go up and up and the swimming pool changing rooms are gross and never cleaning properly!
Negative experience: Sat outside Yate Leisure Centre since 6am (now 6:30) with a crowd of people, including elderly and disabled people, and clearly someone has overslept. Many have given up. Can't remember this as part of my membership
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: We love this place.
Fantastic experience: Very clean hotel...spotless..your room gets cleaned every morning and safes are provided ...morning buffet really nice along with champagne..not had evening meal there but takeaways close by to hotel..beach literally 3mins away from hotel..
Negative experience: Nice enough leisure centre and friendly staff. Unfortunately, their direct debit company DFC are absolute horrors to work with. Twice I have used Active Lifestyles leisure centre memberships, one in Yate and one in Longwell Green. Both times have I been chased and harassed for money from DFC for months that I had cancelled for, did not need, and was not even in the vicinity of the centre. Do not sign up with these monsters if you can at all help it. Attend any other gym or pool. DFC have ruined what could be a good chain by their horrendous payment policies and total inability to listen to good sense. If I sound furious, it is because I am. Honestly, just sign up elsewhere. It is not worth it.
Positive experience: Went roller skating in the holidays was good lenght of time. Could do with more games for the kids to do.
Fantastic experience: Great love the gym snd getting a coffee afterwards so chilled nice staff
Positive experience: Plenty of free parking. Huge Tesco and lots of other shops. Free toilets. Fruit stall. Banks, McDonalds, Wetherspoons.
Negative experience: It’s filthy, the prices are ridiculous, and is absolutely NOT value for money.
Positive experience: Good swimming lessons and available rooms for sports
Fantastic experience: Always a good place with nice staff.
Fantastic experience: My granddaughter has swimming lessons
Positive experience: Food and coffee is very good and staff are nice and helpful. The place needs new furniture.
Fantastic experience: Good
Negative experience: Dirty, toliets are disgusting, not cleaned at all. Cafe has a good selection but tables are filthy and food all over the floor from day before.
Negative experience: You can't get a drink or anything to eat unless you have a card to pay with
Positive experience: Visited Cafe . Nice place .Friendly staff . Shame it was spoiled by screaming Kids .who's parents didn't tell them to shut up even after 30 minutes . I'm tolerant but ....
Fantastic experience: Lovely decaf tea and toasted tea cakes
Fantastic experience: Great local facility. I use the gym and occasionally hall activities such as badminton. These are superb facilities with very good helpful and cheerful staff that deserve all the praise.
Fantastic experience: Been using the gym for many years and always found the assistants very helpful
Positive experience: Great venue and good pricing at £5pp. Tiered seating although very hard seats. Good scoreboards and announcements. Only poor element is the parking at the centre is limited - parking is available nearby but between 3-4 hours so means you have to move the car during the gymnastics competition
Fantastic experience: Excellent Facilities, even more helpful staff.
Negative experience: Consistently cold pool at general visiting hours. General cleanliness is not really up to standard all considered. Have made repeated statements with regards to the temperature of the main pool, but nothing is resolved. I appreciate it is managed by software that is preset, but there is not much harm in warming up the pool 0.5-1c for attendance.
Fantastic experience: Great team, always friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere throughout. We love coming here for soft play, the cafe and family swimming
Negative experience: Swimstars is a joke, they rarely move up as they can’t pass what’s required because they never actually practise what they need to. It’s just a money machine for the leisure centre. Been in the same class for over a year, Honestly just teach your kids yourself, you’ll teach them quicker and better.
Negative experience: Over crowded .1 member a staff Young.tall .blong brown hair .rude and unpleasant .
Positive experience: Local pool so keep coming back for swimming lessons. The changing rooms are rarely clean, other parents don’t seem to wear the protective shoes and it’s ridiculously hot upstairs.
Fantastic experience: Great place to exercise! Lots of clubs, you can host birthday parties here as well. An overall great place
Negative experience: Really disappointed with the level of friendliness from the reception staff. I was anxious to start swimming after a recent injury and I called to book over the phone, the lady at reception booked a swim session for 20:30pm and told me to come to reception to check in and get directions to the pool. When I arrived the lady at reception told me 4 times that reception had shut and did not want to help me. I understand if reception is closed but she shouldn’t tell me to go there on arrival.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this leisure centre. It's not the closest to us but worth the effort as the staff are always helpful and the pool facilities are clean. Highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful at swimming.
Positive experience: Only used the soho coffee shop which was slightly run down and a bit grubby.. Coffee ok but strong ...Good breakfast bap , very well cooked...egg and mushroom!
Positive experience: Nice leisure centre
Fantastic experience: Brought the little boy I Nanny to the gym session this afternoon.... really impressed with the whole process...totally customer and child focussed....from Reception staff to the gym staff.... highly recommend....going to go swimming on Friday. It's a trek for us, definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre friendly staff on the desk and opening hours long to suit everyone. Free car park outside.
Positive experience: The soft play was great, although it was very hot and humid
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the classes friendly members and the instructors always look like their enjoying themselves too. Nothing is to much trouble for them. I havent used to pool in years as last time I went it was freezing but would like to try it again in future great price with great mixture of classes. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great all round place for fitness and fun. Lots to do for children, adults and families.
Fantastic experience: Just spoke to Sam on Reception at Yate Active. She was lovely and more than helpful on the phone. Thank you! Just signed up to this gym and everyone was so nice and welcoming! Cant wait to get started!! :)
Thank you ever so much for your review Lauren. We have taken a screenshot of it and sent it to the staff at Yate. We hope you enjoy using our facilities; our staff are always available to offer help and advice. As you are at Yate, please make sure you check out BioCircuit - it is a fantastic piece of kit and is included in your membership. Thank you, The Active Team
Positive experience: Good facility’s, most staff are so friendly and helpful but one member of staff was very unapproachable and and not welcoming. She had attitude and wasn’t a good image for the centre, maybe she was having a bad day but she should stay professional
Hi Shannon, Thank you for your review, we will pass this onto the Centre Manager. The Active Team
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre, being local and a bit biased the best out of the group. I've been using on and off for at least 45 years.
Thank you for the outstanding review Darren. After 45 years of usage you are allowed to be biased! The Active Team
Positive experience: The gym personnel are very helpful and friendly
Positive experience: Pretty decent pool facilities can get quite busy and chaotic as everyone has to walk through the showers
Thank you for your review Em. Sorry it gets a bit chaotic at times. The Active Team
Fantastic experience: Great place been going for years swimming and birthday parties now daughter goes to gymnastics small suggestion for the gymnastics toilets they could do with upgrading other than that highly recommended place

Thank you Paul for your 5-star review. We're glad you enjoy working out at Yate.
Fantastic experience: Very well equipped gym and friendly service
Fantastic experience: Good fun clean and safe
Fantastic experience: My favourite shop
Fantastic experience: Always friendly
Positive experience: A well equipped leisure centre with friendly, helpful staff. There's a pool, café, and a good selection of exercise equipment and courts. Wide range of classes and sessions, including several for older people and those with health conditions or disabilities. Yate Active leisure centre is right next to the shopping centre and you can usually park within a few yards of it .
Positive experience: The desk staff for the leisure centre are generally lovely, with the exception of a couple who have made me feel somewhat unwelcome. The café is mediocre at best, their coffee and food offerings are somewhat underwhelming, understanding of course that this is a leisure center cafe. The pool facilities are decent although the floor in the changing rooms is often filthy. The changing rooms are also often dirty and leave you feeling a bit uncomfortable when drying off.
Fantastic experience: A great venue for our small mats bowling group
Fantastic experience: My children have come on massively since using their swimming lessons. Definitely recommend
Negative experience: Appalling standard of service and management! A council run centre that needs serious investment in both staff and standard of services provided. £15 for a 45 minute family swim in the small pool! Absolute rip off! Over a one year wait for children's swimming lessons… come on.. pathetic! People are being paid to manage this and are failing badly.
Negative experience: Freezing cold pool last time my child had his swimming lessons.
Negative experience: Very Dated
Fantastic experience: Great place for a coffee after the gym. Great staff
Negative experience: Not for me
Fantastic experience: Great local swimming pool and plenty of other fitness activities.
Fantastic experience: Warm, modern pool. Handled Saturday volumes well, thank you!
Positive experience: Nice centre recommended
Fantastic experience: love it
Fantastic experience: We use the gym, it has every thing we need, the bio-circuits is great for a quick workout.
Positive experience: Clean premises, friendly staff, large free car park.
Positive experience: Good facilities. However the online booking system is awful. If this is monitored by active centres, please sort out the booking.... if you want people to book, you need to make it possible. Booking the family in for a simple swim is impossible.
Positive experience: Use this gym all the time. Its Cleaned all the time by the staff and there is a good range of weights and equipment
Negative experience: The air conditioner is very high and it is very cold. Gym room is freezing cold! Swimming pool water temperature is generally cold even if they said that water temperature is 30 degrees
Negative experience: Can anyone tell me how to book aqua fit classes all booked if they’re so popular put another class on
Fantastic experience: My little one is doing really well learning to swim the instructor ate great
Negative experience: Leisure Center very expensive and changing rooms and toilets are disgusting.
Fantastic experience: Friday Roller Disco at 6.15-7.45pm was fun. Easy to find, free parking. Well run roller disco for kids and adults with skate hire, over 4 badminton courts, plenty of chairs, lockers if needed, nice stewards, a few games and good cheesy disco music. Next to Minor Injuries Unit if it all goes pear-shaped but all the skaters were considerate/well-behaved.
Fantastic experience: Went here to play badminton, very nice leisure centre, kept clean and friendly staff
Positive experience: Friday staff, has most things you need to keep fit.
Positive experience: Good leisure centre with many activities. Shame the cafe is shut in the evenings.
Fantastic experience: Great game of badinton today,easy to book and fantastic facilities
Positive experience: Good atmostphere
Fantastic experience: Worth keeping exercising.
Fantastic experience: Good place for gymnastics
