Positive experience: Excellent venue
Thanks for the 4 star rating Kevin.
Positive experience: First time attending a class here, Bootcamp. With Cowdenbeath closed having to try other centres. The receptionist clearly loves mornings and her job, it wasn't a great first impression but I hope her day got better.The class itself was ok, it was pretty advanced for a beginner like me trying to get fit. Floor work on a hard floor was challenging even though there was a mat down,I just can't do it. I also had to downsize on the dumbells, and the barbells and kettlebells were way too on the heavy side for me but gave it my best shot. Would I go back? hmmmm, undecided, they say give things a second chance I might.
Hi Amanda, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We pride ourselves on our high levels of customer service sorry that they fell short on this occasion. We will pass this feedback to our management team.
Negative experience: Terrible, soul destroying place. Reception staff have zero customer service skills, they give GP receptionists a run for their money on making sure the experience of dealing with them will ruin your day.
Sorry to hear about your experience, this is not the standard that we expect from our front of house team. Please accept our apologies for this, we will pass your feedback on to the management team.
Fantastic experience: Great experience

Positive experience: Last minute notice of closures and lift seems to always be broken. Staff are lovely and helpful, place is clean and alot of facilities
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback is appreciated.
Positive experience: Gym equipment is good but the music is far too loud. Can hear it over noise cancelling headphones. No need for that.
Hi Zee, thanks for letting us know, we'll be sure to pass this feedback onto the gym management team.
Positive experience: Went there to enquire about opening times for swimming. They referred me to the web site where there are full details. They were helpful, and supplied me with a concession application form. There are 3 pools. A large and a small one for adults plus another for children. The smaller adult pool is the "warm pool", but it seems to be for exercise sessions only. If you want to do lengths, as I do, then it has to be the large pool. The children's pool is presently closed.
Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to leave a review Charles.
Fantastic experience: Nice to get back swimming again after closure n school hols. Cosy after 7° outside.

Hi Aceman, thanks very much for your 4 star review.
Fantastic experience: Really pleased with this centre. Took the boys age 8 and 12 to the Friday fun session tonight and was met with clean and well maintained facilities, helpful staff, fun things for the kids to do and ample car parking. It’s almost hard to believe this is a fife sports and leisure trust facility it’s that’s good. The kids enjoyed the pool and the inflatable, the showers and changing area were really good and they can’t wait to go back. Only down side is nothing to do with the centre but the signposts to get to the centre in the local area are all hard to read because the bushes are overgrown or they’re dirty so maybe look at your directions before you leave.
Hi Lanabelle, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review. We are glad your boys enjoyed the inflatable pool fun session. We'll pass on your feedback about the external signage, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Positive experience: Ok

Hi Claire, great to hear that you enjoy the trampolining class.
Fantastic experience: Very nice people there, I go to an Active Strength and Balance Class, Ruth runs the class and always has a smile and a laugh. Only complaint I have is the lack of staff at the front desk. Many of us who go to these classes are disabled and standing for long periods of time can be very painful. Apart from that, all is good.

Fantastic experience: Nice environment..great machines..good location
Hi John, thanks very much for the 5 star review.
Positive experience: This is really good facility for Fife and well situated for the surrounding areas. The positives are it is very clean inside and looks well run with some excellent facilities. It has still a modern feel and most of the equipment, I saw , seems quite up to date. I did think outside was looking a bit run down although nothing that some maintenence and a bit of TLC would not fix . This is a bit of a shame as first impressions are important. Overall nice centre and worth a visit.

Hi Lorna, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review. We appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Staff very helpfull
Hi Jim, good to hear that you're enjoying your visits to Michael woods.
Fantastic experience: Nice wee pool that was warmer than th main pool...
Thanks for the 5 star rating Jason.
Negative experience: Good sized pool but lacks entertainment for families, no slide, whirlpool, waves etc. the training pool is great with moveable floor to adjust depth. Seating area is limited and always mobbed when swimming lessons are on, I can rarely see my own child which is very frustrating. The cafe seating area dirty and appears understaffed. Also there is a HUGE lack of parent and child spaces considering they offer child swimming lessons, bit daft.
Hi Adam, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry you feel Michael Woods is only a 2 star facility. If you are looking for a leisure pool in Fife we would recommend Levenmouth, East Sands or the Beacon Leisure Centre. You can find further details of these on our website (link below). We are sorry that you feel you can not see your child swimming, we do have a large balcony area and seating area. We have parent and child parking however because of the number of children in lessons, it's just not possible to provide enough parent and child parking for every customer. The cafe is run by Fife Council, we will pass on your feedback regarding this to the catering team. www.fifeleisure.org.uk/locations
Positive experience: The Micheal Woods Sports and Swimming Centre provides a large gym, table tennis, basketball, football, badminton and tennis most popular of all, the swimming pool, it has around 10 diving boards, a deep and shallow section and is perfect for new and reoccurring swimmers, or even kids and adults alike to relax and unwind is the calming feel of the water, the pool provides on some days, a large inflatable "parkour"/"assault course" which is safe and enjoyable for kids, the pricing varies from free for kids on weekdays and is a great well maintained area, highly recommend you go and check out yourself!
Hi Crewz, thanks very much for the 4 star review.
Fantastic experience: Such a great leisure centre, its got a modern design, facilities for everything you'd need. The pool is great, the extra training pool with moveable floor is fantastic for lessons and classes. The football facilities are amazing from.an indoor pitch with seating and 5 a sides.
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review.
Positive experience: Nice coffee
Hi Gee, glad to hear that you enjoy the coffee in the Cafe.

Hi Annemarie, thanks for taking the time to leave a 4 star review, we appreciate your feedback.
Positive experience: Excellent facilities in the heart of Glenrothes. Only let down is the lack of cafe facilities.
Thanks for the 5 stars Ian.
Negative experience: Good facilities but prices absolutely extortionate for Football, £18 for an hour on 5 a-side pitches? How are the children of the local area meant to afford that?
Hi Euan, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We would like to disagree about the pitch hire being expensive. The £18 is to hire the 5s pitch, this allows 10 juniors players which works out only £1.80 each for 60 minutes. We feel this is excellent value for money. However, if you still feel that this is expensive during the school holidays we have offer Quid-a-Kid, this means that it's only £1 per child to play football, we have a similar offer for racquet sports. With both of these options participating adults only pay £2 too.
Fantastic experience: Went for a swim for the first time there. The water was a bit cold and the changing rooms and toilets were not very clean. Friendly staff.
Hi Janice, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We have very high cleaning standards within our leisure centre and sorry that they have fallen short on this occasion. We will be sure to pass on your comments to the management team.
Fantastic experience: Go swimming every week very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Hi Keith, thanks for the 5 stars - we're glad you are enjoying swimming here.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant pitches though the goals are a bit dodgey and ripped in some parts all in all good place to kick about the pool is very clean and pretty big and i used to love going to splashy with the inflatable.
Hi Mason, thanks for your 5 star review. We'll pass on your feedback regarding the goals, did you know the splashy is back and a new generation of kids are loving it!
Positive experience: Great facilities, warm pool fantastic for babies.
Thanks for the 4 star rating Karen.
Negative experience: Braindead receptionist staffing and dreadful payment system.
Hi Jordan, we agree the payment system is not the best, far from it in fact. We recently had an update which involved a lot of work in the background. This is the first step toward the implementation of a new booking system. We would urge you to please remove or re-word your comment about our member of staff, we feel this is very unfair. The system downtime cause an increase number of calls and booking requests at reception and our teams have coped incredibly well facing the brunt of customer frustration when the system was unavailable for bookings. If you do not feel a member of staff has been helpful in the future, please request to speak with a duty manager and they wil try to help you further. Alternatively you can contact our head office [email protected] highlighting the day and time of your visit and if possible let them know the member of staff in question and this will be investigated for you.
Positive experience: Great centre let down by abrupt, ignorant staff
Hi Michael, sorry to hear about your recent experience. This is something that we would like to know more information about. Can you please contact our Head Office via email at [email protected] or ask to speak with a Duty Manager on your next visit. It would be helpful if we knew the person(s) who you feel are making your visits less enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities. One of the best I have visited

Hi Alister, thanks very much for the 5 star review.
Positive experience: Great place. Especially there indoor football piches
Thanks for the 3 star rating and comments. What do you feel we could do better to achieve a 4 star rating?
Positive experience: Friendly staff and clean workout spaces, however very expensive. No court booking included in membership pricing which if your playing on courts multiple times a week, it adds up to be extremely expensive. Most other gyms include some discount on courts or even free booking if you pay for a gym membership.
Hi Wilks, thanks for the review. We will pass on your feedback to the management team regarding court bookings.
Fantastic experience: Quality leisure complex. Loads of free parking.
HI Brian, thanks very much for your 5 star review.
