Academy Leisure Sawtry: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with amazing staff who care
Fantastic experience: Sorting the Caresco stall for all the runners so they could get refreshments after their hard work this morning.
Positive experience: Nice enough but desperately needs doubles of the more popular equipment. The weight room is basically unusable if there's more than 12 people in there unless you want to spend an extra 30 minutes waiting for things to free up.
Positive experience: Pleasant enough sports hall.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, equipment all fantastic and well maintained. The staff are happy, decent, knowledgeable and helpful. Other gym goer's are a friendly bunch and no big egos to contend with. The facilities (changing rooms/showers/lockers/water/toilets/etc) are always clean and ready to be used. Totally worth going miles out of my way to remain a member of this gym. Thanks
Positive experience: Decent gym and friendly staff.
Positive experience: Nice setup and facilities, staff are friendly but a real shame that they don't accept cash. Would be useful if that was mentioned on the website and for a low price activity that encourages child attendance it's a bit naff being card only

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, The management and staff are fantastic and always smiling!
Fantastic experience: Lots of parking
Positive experience: Good facilities would be better if the roof didn't leak
Fantastic experience: They said i steal from them.....
Fantastic experience: Very warm and welcoming staff. The pool and gym are borderline empty whenever I go, which is brilliant for someone who likes to use the time to cool off! Friday and Saturday timetable can be a little awkward for people who aren’t readily available during the week but that is really only going to be an issue if you fit that criteria. Only criticism would have been that the centre needed some TLC, but the new ownership has already starting taking steps to fix this.
Positive experience: Shame the pool wasn't open for longer and more adult only swimming.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, good equipment available and not too busy.
Positive experience: It's okay but there are better one leisure centres around
Positive experience: Yoga was great!
Fantastic experience: Its ok
Positive experience: Ideal location for a kids birthday party
Fantastic experience: For a small gym in a little countryside town, this has everything you need. The gym itself, although small, is well-equipped, and even at peak times I’ve rarely had to wait to use any of the machines. The swimming pool, although not enormous, is plenty big enough for a decent workout, and is often separated into lanes for serious swimmers. Perhaps most importantly, the changing rooms and showers have always been spotlessly clean on our visits.
Fantastic experience: Needs modernization but staff friendly and facilities generally are clean
Negative experience: Rude staff, make it insanely difficult to get around in a wheelchair, staff just watch you struggle.
Negative experience: Friendly staff and ok size for a small town. However it is very dated and a little run down - it could really do with an update. Particularly crumbling wall in women's changing room (haven't seen mens). Also thought it very strange for them to close at 4pm on Fridays and 1pm on Saturdays - surely these are among what would be the busiest times? I think it is expensive for what you get. Fine for basics but really for £40 a month (gym, classes and pool) you can do better. Also, Im sure the induction is just as much to protect them as it is to protect new members, with no opt out because it is for health and safety which is understandable however charging £30 for it is a joke. These reasons have deterred us from joining sadly.
Fantastic experience: Great to have in Sawtry, good swimming pool and very friendly staff!
Negative experience: Don't let your children mess around while there swimming cause they will get banned. Kids are kids they mess about don't just ban them explain what they have done and give a warning very very inappropriate way to deal with kids. Hence membership now cancelled.
Fantastic experience: We enjoy taking the children here
Positive experience: Never been will one day tho
Negative experience: Great staff but needs a refit ASAP. Huntingdon,St Neots etc are nice but Sawtry is very run down and the gym is a massive disappointment with quality and numbers
Fantastic experience: Great 20 m pool but nice
Fantastic experience: It is very warm,exiting,fun and the staff are nice.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic swimming teacher, pool and lesson. My daughter loved it!
Positive experience: Friendly local leisure centre changing rooms for swimming need a deep clean.
Positive experience: Perfectly ok. Pool is not shallow enough for a kids pool and not big enough for adults. Everything looks like it needs a good renovation but clean and functional
Fantastic experience: Good village facility
Fantastic experience: Love it here lovely clean gym and wonderful pool
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed aquafit friendly staff local easy to get to
Positive experience: Very nice swimming pool. Size is not too big but enough to do lines. It's not too busy so nice when you have small kids and want to enjoy swimming with little ones. Price is about £4 with one leisure card.
Fantastic experience: Great swimming lessons for my son.
Fantastic experience: Good teaching facilities for your kids to learn to swim
Positive experience: Very good swimming lessons. Shame you can't really see the whole pool
Fantastic experience: Great gym
