Our brand new fitness facilities include a 40 station Gym with a wide selection of cardio vascular, resistance and free weight equipment and an Immersive Cycling Studio offering Les Mills instructor led and virtual cycling classes. Invigor8 members will also benefit from access to the interactive TRAKK app, allowing customers to track their workouts, fitness progress and to interact with our qualified Fitness Instructors.

Inductions take between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Please arrive 10 minutes before the allocated time. A maximum of 4 people can be booked onto each session. Please be aware that you may be booked onto an induction with other customers. If you require a one to one induction or a smaller group please contact our central team and they will provide options to accommodate all requests. 

This BRAND NEW state of the art fully IMMERSIVE CYCLING STUDIO features high quality cycling video projected onto a floor to ceiling screen to create a series of paths to cycle through. It is equipped with high quality full surround sound to provide you with an immersive escape from your day and something completely different from your regular exercise routine.

The Active Café offers a fresh and inviting menu for centre customers and the general public to enjoy a meal or snack and drinks. It is situated within the main lobby area, ideal for a drink or meal after your workout and a catch up with friends. 

The only one of it’s kind in Wirral, our brand new Tag Active game is played in a 3 floored arena where the participant enjoys climbing, running, balancing and gathering points which are displayed on the leader board. 

Designed for ages 8+, the arena offers a fun packed competitive area for children to try new skills, keep active and have fun! They will leave with a sense of achievement and success by accumulating points registered on their own wristband and aiming to be top of the leader board!

Our brand new Soft Play adventure area is designed for children aged 0 – 7 years and covers 3 floors of slides, obstacles, climbing, tunnels and open play areas.

A spacious baby and toddler area is available for younger children to play offering a safe place for them to play and enjoy their freedom in a safe environment.

Customers must stay in the Active Zone whilst children are booked into the soft play area and can enjoy a meal or snacks in our cafe from our extensive menu. 

The Active Zone Cafe offers a varied menu for all the family and is designed to suit every budget. Situated in the centre of the Active Zone, the new cafe is the perfect place to sit, relax and watch the children have fun in the soft play area or wear themselves out in the TAG Active Arena.

Booking is not essential in the Active Zone Cafe and it is open to all Active Zone customers during their activity session. High chairs, baby change areas and buggy parking is available.  

The Active Zone offers a selection of parties in both the Soft Play area and TAG Active arena. Our birthday party packages are designed for children to have the most fun whilst keeping active and interacting with their friends.

Every party provides 75 minutes play (3 games of TAG Active or 75 minutes in soft play area), food and drink and access to one of our party rooms for 45 minutes.

We are now accepting Winter Block Booking requests, however, due to the high volume of enquiries that we are receiving it may take up to 14 working days to administrate your request.

Whilst you await confirmation of your booking extension you are advised to football pitch of your choice on a casual pay and play basis, this can be completed online or by telephoning the central leisure team on 0151 606 2010.

Four Badminton courts are now available to book, housed in the Indoor Tennis Hall alongside our partners Play Point Sports.  Courts can be booked for up to 4 people to play Badminton and Pickeleball. 

The Indoor Tennis courts at Bidston Sports and Activity Centre are managed and operated by a local operator, Play Point Sports, in association with the Lawn Tennis Association

Miss Emma xx 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Kids soft play during term time really well priced and pretty quiet so ur kids can have a good play and explore. 3 levels to play on, couple of different slides my daughter who's 2 and a half loves it and so does dad lol. Well worth the money atm! Don't know how busy it is during school holidays tho x

H. Tang 1 year ago

Negative experience: They make up prices at the door. I took my baby for soft play. I called the helpline before going and was told to just arrive. She's under 1 so the website clearly states it's free. The man at the door asked for a £3 entry fee. I told him on the website it stated it would be free, he checked with his manager, who flippantly said in front of me "Just charge the £3 anyway"! I raised this with him a couple more times until it just became awkward. I'd driven there specifically for soft play so paid the £3. I called the office and they issued the refund (not yet in my account). The soft play had nothing for her, so we just left. Even at the office where they acknowledged I was charged incorrectly, they didn't apologise for randomly being targeted to pay more.

Darren King 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Nice gym, bit of a strange layout if you want to do Ropes or some circuit training but the machines are all new and plenty of free weights and benchs. Free parking and a cafe there as well. For me invigor8 memberships are hard to beat. Try it out

Peter Pybis 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great welcome. Visited coffee shop. Good price and great choice. Area clean. Children love the ball park. Would recommend.

Kayleigh Platt 1 year ago

Positive experience: The kids' activities are great. Very clean, safe, and affordable. The only negative thing is the food and drink service. On my first visit, I waited for over an hour for two toastes only to be told they had misplaced my order. It took the full 2 hour visit from waiting in a slow line to order up until my food finally arrived. On my second visit, I waited 20 minutes to order food. After 30 minutes, the food came out. I realised I had missed a round of toast for my 1 year old. When I went up to order it, I was told it would be an hour minimum before it came out. I understand that they can be busy, but for a strictly light bite menu, an hour wait seems very extreme. Staff are very friendly but definitely not equipped enough to handle busy periods.

Bernard Grannon 1 year ago

Negative experience: Tennis courts are not in great condition, nets separating the courts don't reach the full length so balls disappear on to other courts or just out the door. One court has a crater under the surface that makes hitting a ball into it or running across it an "interesting" experience, if it gets any worse it could cause an injury. Lots of money spent here, unfortunately none of it on the tennis courts.

Mark Burrows 1 year ago

Negative experience: Spinning studio needs trainer microphone to understand what's she's shouting above the music.

Colin Hunt 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly Highly recommend a visit

Louise Peacock 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Have been twice to the soft play with 4 yr old and 2 yr old. Very clean and lovely friendly staff. I like the fact that the play area is over 3 floors and large seating area where you can pretty much see kids at all times. Our new favourite. My only negative is that it is £6.50 for all age children, I think younger ones should be cheaper, like other soft plays, but that’s just my opinion and being a bit stingey I suppose

redandwhite7899 7 years ago

Positive experience: Review of football facilities only**! New (ish) type of artificial grass pitches within the 5a side cages. Surface is fine but if you take a tumble it feels like it's been laid straight onto concrete!!! Massively painful with the added but expected friction burns. I won't be rushing back to play

They offer tennis lessons for adults and kid's. It has wheelchair access. All in all a great place, I didn't give it 5 star's as some of the changing rooms need some updating.

Suzie Murray 7 years ago

Positive experience: Yoga is great here

Sue Warwick 7 years ago

Positive experience: Decent 4g football pitches and plenty of car parking. Some of the indoor tennis courts now house gym equipment

Ryan Lung 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Insane value if you play a lot of tennis, for £18.5 a month you get unlimited off peak (10am-4pm weekdays, all day weekend) indoor and outdoor tennis, access to municipal gyms and pools across Wirral and also exercise classes. Courts are in good condition, well illuminated and has decent viewing area, only thing missing is perhaps a bench on the side of the court. Courts are on the slower side among hard courts if you are into that.

Elisabeth Jarvis 7 years ago

Cai Rive 7 years ago
