Our comment from FitFit UK about Leigh Leisure Centre:
Leigh Leisure Centre, located in Leigh, United Kingdom, is a fantastic hub for sports and wellness, offering a wide array of activities including Zumba, swimming, yoga, and weight exercises. With its extensive facilities, it is ideal for both fitness enthusiasts and families looking for fun.
The centre is praised for its friendly staff who are dedicated to providing excellent customer service. Visitors have noted that the atmosphere is accommodating, with staff members like Amy receiving specific commendations for her politeness and professionalism.
Despite the overall positive experiences, some users have pointed out areas for improvement. Cleanliness has been a concern, particularly in the changing rooms and toilets, with suggestions that more maintenance is required. Additionally, there have been mentions of inconsistent customer service, where experiences vary depending on the staff member available.
Moreover, while the centre boasts a range of activities, some users feel that it lacks certain facilities like a sauna, steam room, or Jacuzzi, which would enhance the customer experience given its size. Parking is another area that has been highlighted; on event days, it can become quite difficult to find a spot.
In conclusion, Leigh Leisure Centre offers a great variety of activities and well-maintained facilities, making it a prominent choice for leisure seekers in the area. Both the clean swimming pool and various fitness classes available contribute to its appeal, despite some challenges that need addressing.
Leigh Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Zumba, swimming, yoga, weight exercises.. all the good things in one place.
Fantastic experience: Fridndlystagf excellent facilities
Fantastic experience: Amy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish . I rang up a day prior to book badminton 6-7 on Thursday and she took ownership from minute one . When we got there she was really accommodating and answered all the questions to make us feel at ease was polite and professional
Positive experience: Mostly ok but the chreing gum which has been all over the courts for weeks really messes up the bounce of the ball at pickleball Yes, i did show it to one of the attendants, he didn't quite shrug his shoulders At least i can remove the shuttlecock feathers myself, do they never clean the floors?
Fantastic experience: Too large. Why is it in Wigan?
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre with a big sports hall. Went to a model railway exhibition there which was excellent.
Positive experience: Idk
Negative experience: The Receptionist With The Short Brown Hair Is Really Rude And Speaks Down To You Especially If You Are Young, I Had An Awful Run In With Her And She Spoke Personal Information About Me Out loud To Others Avoid Her At All Costs Awful Customer Service
Negative experience: Believe they host the Manchester Box Cup here. Concerned that they don’t really vet who is allowed to participate in it here considering the words of some of their attendees on Facebook regarding people of other religions…
Fantastic experience: Super
Fantastic experience: Very clean and up to date equipment
Positive experience: Took the kids to fun and floats. Enjoyable hour in the pool. Good facilities and reasonable price
Positive experience: Average gym.. Bit small for my liking and not much equipment in terms of weight machines.. Great place to get fit yeah, but not really kitted out for bodybuilding which is what I'm into.. As someone posted a comment on here, yes it appears to full of OAPs n kid's that just want to mess about.. Kids n OAPs shouldn't be allowed in the gym really for health n safety reasons.. It's not good really.. I mean I'm all for starting at a young age, as I started when I was young, however I didn't mess about in the gym.. I went to graft
Fantastic experience: Great facilities
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place with lots going on under one roof.
Positive experience: I visit here regularly. It’s got great facilities which are much needed in the area. However, even though it’s not dirty, I feel it could still be more maintained with its cleanliness. When in the gym I see layers of dust, changing rooms had litter, the upstairs toilets need a thorough clean. Depending on which staff member is available, you will either get excellent customer service, or a face that looks like they would be more interested in watching paint dry than actually working But overall a good place.
Fantastic experience: Went to the antique fair at Leigh Leisure Center on the Sunday , smashing medium sized fair with a good few traders. Nice place to go to and easy to get to .
Positive experience: Good pool, decent setup.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Daughter swims here fan facilities
Negative experience: The place is massive but unfortunately they don’t have sauna, steam or Jacuzzi for the size of the place they should have those The stuff they are absolutely nice
Fantastic experience: Clean pool
Fantastic experience: Go here 5 times a week minimum, staff are brilliant and the building is always clean n tidy. The facilities are brilliant.
Fantastic experience: I was at the craft show, not the actual leisure area, but all good.
Fantastic experience: Seems pretty good.
Positive experience: Although this site is better known for its Athletic facilities We drove here for a paper craft event on a Sunday, provided there is no sports event you should find suitable parking, there is a Hotel, Supermarket, pub and college on site. Do note although the address is greater Manchester, you are going a lot further west of the city than most would expect.
Fantastic experience: Took the wife and it tired her out. Peace and quiet at last.
Negative experience: Shame about the lack of parking, but easy to find.
Positive experience: This place looks great, but hygiene needs to level up. The toilets were very dirty, and the changing room was the same. The staff at the reception was uninterested in problems and questions. The place is very busy with school swim lectures, so always check the availability of the activities.
Fantastic experience: Good parking and great venue for antiques and collectables fair.
Positive experience: We attended an antiques fair
Fantastic experience: Great place for swimming. I only go for swimming, so can't comment on the gym
Positive experience: Good gym and nice pool facilities. Unfortunately this centre is massively let down by the parking, any event in the area means you are unable to park at all due to the number of cars. Luckily the Be Well let’s me use other centres in Wigan but this is not convenient which was the point of attending here.
Negative experience: I was due to swim at Leigh Leisure centre and was unable to get parked at the Leisure centre. A football match was going on and there was no reserve parking for people actually using the Leisure centre. Avoid using this Leisure centre on any match/ event days. I was driving around and unable to get parked anywhere. Very unsatisfactory.
Fantastic experience: Visited for the model railway show, everyone friendly and helpful, great show
Fantastic experience: First time at this gym enjoyed it
Fantastic experience: Great venue for exhibitions, but was a little hot
Positive experience: Looks great loads of parking loads of stuff to do
Fantastic experience: Staff are very accommodating. I might enroll for the gym as well. Nice place.
Positive experience: Staff are lovely, pool & gym very clean. Unfortunately the pool toilets are absolutely disgusting and look like they’re never cleaned. Never any toilet roll in upstairs or downstairs toilets.
Fantastic experience: High quality facilitate parking is slightly limited services good and it is usually busy. So book early
Positive experience: Staff at the front desk didn't seem to know what was going on when asked about classes and where they were happening
Fantastic experience: I went there to use the pool as a non member and the staff were nice and all smiles. Very clean pool

Hi Donna, Many thanks for your positive review :)
Positive experience: Great swimming pool. Go about 4 times a week with the kids
Hi Simon, Many thanks for your positive review :)
Negative experience: Worst location ever near to Leigh sports village - if match day, parking to gym is a nightmare + half of the machines under maintenance, gave 2 stars for the workout space
Hi Vishnu, Unfortunately, we cannot do anything about parking situation on match days, as all car parks across the sports village are owned and operated by LSV, not ourselves at the Leisure Centre. As for your comment regarding half the machines being under maintenance, I have just checked and we currently have 1 machines out of 80+ that is awaiting repairs. Thank you for your review.
Positive experience: In the gym, good equipment, polite and friendly staff, will go again
Thank you for your positive review.
Negative experience: I was member for many Years .I am over the moon , my membership is ending next month ! It is a good gym , equipped quite well. At the beginning it felt like pensioners house . However now ... they introduced 11+ ... which is a joke if you are even a little serious about your workout/progress ! Overcrowded, full of teens who just taking space and doing nothing at all . Don't think about health and safety .. what this bunch of kids is doing there is hilarious One positive at the end is fitness classes, addicted to Body Combat and Pump ! PT and Fitness Coach Nicola is absolutely fantastic !!!
Positive experience: Lovely place. Very clean. Staff are so helpful and friendly. My only criticisms are: I wish the swimming sessions were longer. 30min sessions arnt long enough for the kids. And The showers are dangerous for the little ones. The temperature handle is their height. My 3 year old pulled it down and scolded my 2-year-old's back. It all happened in seconds. I did mention it to reception. The lady was very apologetic and said she'd mention it to the appropriate people. It's a very nice place
Fantastic experience: I’ve come here for many years part of the gym and classes , great equipment , no judgement , clean swimming pool and changing rooms
Positive experience: Attended an Antiques fair. Will be improved when the cafe is open.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff, excellent place for kids swimming lessons
Positive experience: Me and my son went here. Realy good venue.
Fantastic experience: Very nice place and very nice people Recomend to everybody
Positive experience: Exercise classes are available for a range of medical conditions. Referral is needed from a Healthcare professional but there is lots to offer. My sister attends a Stroke rehab class on a Monday. It's great.
Fantastic experience: Was here for a karate comp. Guess due to place restriction comp was organised on ground and first floor- super chaotic and announcements were not audible- you need to keep checking. The location is very good -easy access to motorway, and there is Morrisons just round the corner, to get snacks and stuff. Leisure centre staff very professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff nice swimming pool.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the lesurexcenter lots to do and friendly staff make it a nice place, and what a fantastic anteques hall they had on at weekend, worth a trio over all.

Positive experience: Decent for the money
Positive experience: Sports complex, West of Manchester. Attended for an indoor event, from what I saw the facilities looked good. Parking, shopping and eating/drinking all to hand
Fantastic experience: Fabulous place either for the family or by yourself for some much needed R&R
Positive experience: It's a great place with friendly staff, however the disabled parking is too far away from the entrance and the swimming changing rooms are in dire need of a deep clean. The cubicals are so dirty, they're going to need a serious jet wash on all surfaces including the doors and walls. Then there's that awful sewage smell that arises on occasions. Ashton leisure centre is always spotless and is now my preferred choice of swimming venue. Come on Leigh, you've got great facilities, look after them.
Fantastic experience: Great swimming
Positive experience: Bit difficult to sort membership as reception always busy, and not rushed at all. Kids love swimming there at lessons although the teachers changes far too regularly
