Exe Valley Leisure Centre: Opinions

4.3/5 (196 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: I took my little boy swimming for the first time here. The staff member at the desk was very friendly and told me where everything was. The learner pool is a good size and was a good depth for my nearly four year old to be able to stand up in. It was nice and warm and we stayed for about 45 minutes. There are large family changing rooms, so we could fit in easily and change. It's free parking and a good price to swim. We will definitely be back again and again.

Phil C (Uk Rocker) 1 year ago

Positive experience: Excellent gym, brilliant staff, modern machines, always ice cold air conditioning. Only bug bear is the WiFi is non existent, and the 4G isn't great so sometimes my workout music is cut short.

Miche Kur 1 year ago

Negative experience: WARNING- do not leave your shoes in the rack unless you want them stolen!!!!

peter edwards 1 year ago

Negative experience: I'm only giving 1 star because I don't want you to go there, it's busy enough as it is when I swim in the mornings, otherwise it would be 5 star.

Alex Parker 1 year ago

Jennie Brown 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Cleanest gym I have ever belonged to (& believe me I've tried a lot! ) Top equipment, friendliest staff, great classes. I could not recommend it more.

Gary Price 1 year ago

Positive experience: Good gym, good knowledgeable instructors.

Jeremy Higginson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Recently moved from London, which has a gym round every other corner. Was surprised to find one as good as this down in Devon. The fitness centre is really well equipped, the machines are well maintained, and the instructors are approachable and helpful. Although I don't use it, the swimming pool is also really good, and I understand that there is a wide variety of exercise classes available. Also, and surprisingly, there are people of all age groups making use of the facilities. However it is relatively expensive, so you need to make regular use of it to get your money's worth.

gitlesk 2 years ago

Negative experience: Absolute disgrace of an establishment! Went in with two babies for water -tots. They advertise the hours on their website, not our first time there. We get there only to be told "we are full capacity" can only let one in. WHAT??! forget the pool was half empty, we then asked why on earth do they publish hours and not update anywhere online this can happen? Was told "we can't update". You people are an utter joke! Two screaming babies, 15 mins of drive back home. Useless . Was told we cannot enter ANY part of the pool either. Shame on you! Why don't you limit your lessons instead of specifically designated BABY time which are only 3 hours a week anyway!!!!!! Parents of babies- go somewhere else !

Karen Muchmore 2 years ago

Positive experience: It's a really nice pool the only thing against it there is only 1 cubicle set aside for disabled people. The cafe is amazing I've never been disappointed with my meals and it's reasonably priced to.

Chris Maddocks 2 years ago

Positive experience: It's a great place for so many activities. Lovely, helpful staff with a fun vibe. Definitely 5 stars but for the awful music playing in the gym whilst training. Most young and old wear ear pieces, so it's not a generation thing.

Joni Bridgman 2 years ago

James Vukic 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great day for a swim, clean changing rooms with onsite cafe and parking.. what more do you need? Well they have a gym and fitness classes which is a selection suitable for everyone. Summer hols have started so the swimming pool timetable has changed and will alter weekly. But the adult swimming lanes will stay in the same slot as usual.

susan addicott 3 years ago

Positive experience: Went to this place for the first time as a disabled guest for a swim. Very clean & tidy. There is a small area in the changing section by the pool. Between locker 145 and the blue hippo be aware of a slippy floor. Due to high human traffic has lost the surface grip & became a slippery surface as I found out. Tiles around pool could do something for your feet to grip or wear flip flops....do NOT run. The changing area keep your out door shoes off the floor or in shoe holders before you enter. Is power hosed and kept clean. Pool depth deep end 2m shallow end 1m. Well ventilated and lots of natural light.

Sarah Reeves 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: We go to Aqua tots and it's amazing. The learner pool is warm and they have LOTS of toys and balls for the kids to play with. I actually love the fact they have a shoe zone where you take your shoes off before you go into the swimming pool/changing rooms. Such a genius idea. Staff are on point. I have only been twice and the receptionist already knew what I came for - amazing!!

Richard Potter 3 years ago

Negative experience: This swimming pool is a joke, you can only do lane swimming if you are retired or unemployed, you don’t stand a chance if you work full time. Even if you do manage to get there for one of the few weekend sessions there is a good chance as I have had twice lately that the pools are closed due to faults or no chlorine! Will be using the pool in wellington from now on.

Stu Coffey 3 years ago

Positive experience: Friendly staff, excellent facilities, very clean and great provision for wiping down surfaces after use. The only reason it's not a 5* review is that at £34/month for membership its a bit pricier than the other gyms. That said, it was lovely and quiet with plenty of machines and no waiting.

Dawn Toy 3 years ago

Positive experience: A good swimming pool with a learner pool, gym and studios for exercise classes.

luke luke 3 years ago

Negative experience: This so called "public" pool is hardly ever open to the public and is far too frequently booked up for lessons. I can't even take my daughter swimming after work of a evening.

Rebecca Ridgeway 3 years ago

Damian R 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Clean, spacious, and well laid out. Two well sized pools for lane swimming and lessons, and a learner pool which is good sized for about 10 families. The changing facilities are well laid out and good size lockers/cubicles. Importantly, the cafe is only open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday! Spectators can view from the seats at the side of the pool. Having grown up in this area (20 years ago) with the old, tired pool, this leisure centre is amazing.

Martine Price 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I became a member in July and since then I have used the pool three times a week and the gym twice a week. I have two incurable diseases, Multiple Sclerosis and a lung disease. Every member of staff I have met since joining has been courteous, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I have had lunch at the cafe and it's always been delicious and they make the best cappuccinos.

Amanda Greens 6 years ago

Positive experience: It’s good value. I had gym and swim membership. My only issue is the little in-house cafe. I ordered a sausage roll and it was awful, had gristle in it. I have eaten there 3 different times and had to leave the lunch every time because of the quality so I never eat there now. Also staff seem grumpy and off hand.

Shane Goddard 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Review for the EV Instavolt chargers only! I’ve used these chargers a few times in the last 3 months. Thee are 2 chargers and there has never been another car charging whilst I charged. Each time the chargers gave high 40s at the start of the charge (on a Leaf) much better that the Ecotricity chargers on the M5
