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.

Malcolm Rumsey 7 months ago

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?

Helena Wright 10 months ago

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…

Dave Shannon 1 year ago

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: Brilliant place with lots going on under one roof.

Charlotte Atkinson 1 year ago

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.

Lynda Purslow 1 year ago

Dead Meat 1 year ago

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.

Erdei Angéla 1 year ago

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: Great place for swimming. I only go for swimming, so can't comment on the gym

Paige Beddow 1 year ago

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.

Andrew Hogg 1 year ago

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.

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

Leigh Leisure Centre
Leigh Leisure Centre

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.

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 !!!

Tasha Witt 2 years ago

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

Pratima Madduri 2 years ago

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.

Chris Cutts 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place either for the family or by yourself for some much needed R&R

It's Me, Dawn-Marie 2 years ago

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.

David Howarth 2 years ago
