Dearneside Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Good gym, the staff are friendly and helpful. But the weekend opening hours need to be extended by a decent margin, 5:30 on a Saturday is bad but closing at 3PM on a Sunday is shocking IMO

We understand your concerns about the weekend opening hours and appreciate your feedback. We will pass your feedback to the site's facility manager for review. Customer feedback is important to us, we have recently changed our weekday opening times based off our members feedback.

Fantastic experience: Decent equipment. Good atmosphere. Plenty of Cardio Equipment. Several cable crossovers, multiple benches and a large range of dumbbells plus deadlifting platforms. What's not to like

Hi Rachel, I am so happy to hear that our facilities are great for you and your daughter. You are a valued customer to us and we hope to see you again soon
Positive experience: It's a smaller place than some but it's clean and the staff are friendly. I've only been to the pool so far but will be heading to the gym in shortly. My only issue is that the gym has a sign up admin cost of £25 on top of the monthly rate, that's a bit steep but apart from that it's great.

Hi Lesley, thank you for taking your time to leave this review ! We value all feedback we receive and take it into consideration for improvements down the line
Fantastic experience: The staff are welcoming and the gym is kept clean at all times. Great range of equipment and classes but the highlight classes are Metafit and Circuit Training, both ran by Chris. Any abilities are welcome in Chris's class and he caters to everyone well. Thanks Chris.
Fantastic experience: Like going here helps to build up my confidence
Fantastic experience: Top gym
Fantastic experience: Use the gym mostly for the Circuit class on a Monday and Metafit on a Friday both ran by Chris. Both are great classes, full of a great bunch of people and Chris is really welcoming would definitely recommend!
Positive experience: Our stay at the Secluded Mountain Retreat was simply unforgettable.
Positive experience: Both children have swimming lessons here . The lessons are very repetitive they cover the same stuff every week and never cover other stuff that is needed to complete badges. Home portal isn't filled in even thought they advertise it .
Thank you for your review and your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are having issues with the home portal been updated. Please email [email protected] for us to assist you further.

Positive experience: Is actually a decent gym, have recently re-joined just wish prices was better
Fantastic experience: Great Leisure centre
Fantastic experience: Good range of facilities, friendly staff, a great place to train.
Positive experience: Very respectful and professional staff, top of the line gym equipment. However, it could use more hours for juniors in the gym.
Fantastic experience: Moja siłownia polecam wszystkim super sprzęt mega fajne zajęcia i obsługa jest naprawdę na wysokim poziomie
Fantastic experience: "Dearneside Leisure Centre is a true gem in our community. The staff is always welcoming, and the facility is clean and well-maintained. The range of activities and classes offered suits all ages and fitness levels, making it a versatile and inclusive option for staying active. The swimming pool and gym are top-notch. Ample parking and the center's central location make it convenient. The affordable membership fees are a great value for the excellent services provided. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just looking for a place to unwind, Dearneside Leisure Centre is an ideal choice for all your leisure needs."
Negative experience: Swimming - children are in ratio 10 to 1, really over crowded and especially the children that are less confident and the swimming teacher is helping and supported them. Which is good, but then bad for the other children to fend for themselves, with no teaching snd learning going on.
Negative experience: Fairly average gym, pretty busy at all times apart from midday, upon cancelling your membership they charge you an additional month for a “notice period” pretty scammy
Fantastic experience: Really don't want to go but I'm fat
Positive experience: First time there,looks good on first impressions,loads of apparatus,just got to figure out how to use it
Fantastic experience: We use Dearneside Leisure centre for our child's swimming lessons. The changing rooms are always clean, there is ample poolside viewing for parents and the staff are always great.
Fantastic experience: always busy a good selection off equipment to use staff very helpful and always on hand if need advise very clean
Fantastic experience: You can learn to Scuba dive here on monday nights, it's great!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and friendly patrons. I love it... But could do with better showers!
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Your Space Dearneside enough! Brilliant friendly staff, very clean pool, showers, toilets everything within the building has been very well maintained, I attended lane swimming last night with my mum and auntie and after a previous bad experience somewhere else I was a little put off but I'm so glad I went (although my mother was like a big child splashing me) even the lifeguard had a sence of humor! I will 1000% be returning and with the kids! Even considering buying a membership ♥
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and great facilities
Hi David, thank you for your review and rating, we are delighted to earn 5* from you and very happy to hear that our facilities met with your expectations. I will pass on your kind comment regarding our staff, we are a happy team and always willing to go the extra mile for our customers/members. Please come back soon
Positive experience: Nice clean facility, singles prices to swim seemed a little more expensive than doncaster where we are from. But overall pleasant visit.
Fantastic experience: Fitness has always been who I am after time spent away from it due to pregnancy I am now getting back to it enjoying swimfits swimming zumba and having support from Antony feels like I'm getting back to my old self again friendly team at dearnside the feel good factor is back for me and I'm looking forward to experiencing more classes and getting where I'd like to once again
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility with friendly staff and value for money, the gym and fitness classes are amazing!
Fantastic experience: Very good. I really enjoyed the pilates class with Vicky
Fantastic experience: Clean leisure center, Friendly fittness team and receptionists. Makes working out fun (especially with Vicky low) I love LBT, abb blast and cycling the most but thoroughly enjoy everything.
Fantastic experience: Gym pool great work out
Fantastic experience: Love swimming .very relaxing .
Fantastic experience: Warm and friendly staff brilliant facilities x
Positive experience: Good swimming facilities, the only thing I use. Always lots of lockers and changing rooms. Well attended and patrolled by attentive guards. Public sessions can get very hectic at times so it's hard to be a serious swimmer as there's no lane marked separately for this. You can do lane only swimming at times that clash if you are a full time worker (early morning 7am and 7pm late evening). If you're retired, not working or female (Ladies only swims), this won't be as much of a problem. A good idea and suggestion, during busy public sessions, (imagine Where's Wally Swimming Pool Edition sometimes) is to have just 1x lane that can't be dive bombed by kids or backed into by spacially unaware public to keep everyone safe and happy and able to enjoy family swim times to their own ends?
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Clean and very modern. Even at peak times plenty of equipment so you're not stop waiting around.
Positive experience: The pool's ok. Changing room always cold as are the showers. No-one seems to care.
Negative experience: Showers not working again
Fantastic experience: I joined 3 weeks ago, and as a fitness virgin, I was sceptical. However the classes are amazing and so enjoyable! I take alot of classes with Vicky Low and she is amazing, makes you feel so comfortable and the classes are so enjoyable! I can't wait to see where this journey takes me but up to now it's been a fantastic experience!
Positive experience: Lovely, clean facilities and a wide range of really good classes. Prices far better than most too. Just missing a sauna...
Fantastic experience: Was a good gym before the refurbishment. After refurb it's awesome. Didn't yet attend any classes or pool since refurb, but the gym facilities are amazing. Best quality equipment, really top class and all the equipment working as it should. Best technology too as I can charge my phone on the bike I'm riding while also watching YouTube on the screen in front of me, so I'm a 100% happy bunny lol. Very clean and a good atmosphere too. Separated half-half for people coming for the weights only and people coming for normal diverse workout, which is great. So glad I signed up again to exactly this gym, definitely worth the money.
Positive experience: Only let down is no sauna or steam room
Fantastic experience: Always clean and tidy, staff helpful and welcoming. Good value for money, good parking.
Fantastic experience: Joined this gym a couple of months ago, all the equipment is brand new and plenty of.
Fantastic experience: Since the pandemic, the gym has been rebranded and the new state of the art equipment is excellent. Protective protocols are still in place in terms of cloths and antibacterial spray to wipe down equipment, so you can train without worrying. The phone app is useful for tracking your progress. Yes, the monthly subscription’s increased by a few pounds, but it’s totally justified.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic...
Fantastic experience: Joined this week and best thing I’ve done the equipment in the gym is high tech and the classes are brilliant I’m hurting in places I didn’t even know I could the staff are amazing and all instructors are very welcoming and friendly…… been here now over a year finally braved myself to the big boy weight n love it staff here are still amazing and welcoming n ppl who train here are just as nice I came here with a chunky mum body n still have a mum bod just a little less chunky… Just go for it wish I did a lot sooner
Fantastic experience: Great gym. So much space. Nobody bothering you so you can just get on with your routine but trainers available if you need a bit of advice. Enough free weights and machines to choose from. Good size pool. Always friendly no matter what time you go
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, love the class instructors, it might hurt but you laugh a lot too.
Fantastic experience: Great classes at varying times newly refurbished, easy to use app for making class bookings

Fantastic experience: Always a positive experience training here. So happy it's still open with everything that's happening atm.
Fantastic experience: Social distancing measures in place. Friendly staff. Good collection of free weights to choose from.
Positive experience: A great little place for a gym and a swim. Ita an oldish building but still has eveything you need.
Positive experience: I love it here but knocked a point off because of the cleanliness of the pool. It is quite dirty on the floor
Fantastic experience: Great for a splash about when it's 30 degrees outside. Kids love inflatable swim on Saturday's.
Positive experience: Same time staff it s to short
Positive experience: Good equipped gym, with polite and helpful staf, but poor maintenance off the gym equipment. Sadly the hygiene are not on the highest standards as well (mirrors look like somebody would have vometed on them, basically all machines are covered with dust). I think to keep high standards is not only about vacuuming gym, but also about cleaning everything else as well.
Positive experience: Nice and friendly. Helpful staff and good showers
Fantastic experience: Excelent place
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, all machines are modern and having a pool on site is excellent, There is always plenty of machines available and plenty of parking spaces
Fantastic experience: A place to get in shape
Fantastic experience: Plenty of machines to go around, huge variety. Friendly, air conditioned gym. Staff always have time to answer any questions.
Positive experience: Excellent friendly staff, swimming pool is old and not that big. Gym has old equipment not the new spec, good cardio equipment. Gym is never busy. Free parking.
Positive experience: Not a bad gym over all
Fantastic experience: Great team at the gym and pool to help you make the most of everything.
Negative experience: Don't care about the Children or the parents
Fantastic experience: Well equiped with friendly staff!
Positive experience: Great value, great place. Good equipment.
Positive experience: Cardiac class
Positive experience: Quite a nice gym.... Nobody knows how to put free weights back though! "Oh look at me, I can lift 45kg dumbbells 10 times but can't lift it once more to put it back on the rack. PUT THEM BACK WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED!!!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place and brillent staff. The kids go swimming and the teacher is so fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere and staff
Fantastic experience: Brilliant for kids on a Saturday with the inflatables.
Positive experience: Good swimming pool
Positive experience: Decent gym has a pool as well
Fantastic experience: Go to gym nice and pleasant nice people who you can talk too
Positive experience: Fajna siłownia, wszystko nowe, dostępny basen, polecam!
Positive experience: Great little centre. Small pool but great gym
Negative experience: Cheap cards that stop working every 2 minutes. New policy is to charge you £2 each time it doesn't work or you forget your card. Run down equipment also. Avoid!
Positive experience: Nice little swimming baths. Could do with Family changing room as it's hard with younger children with only one parent.
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Fantastic experience: Top class gym. Fantastic atmosphere, with a brilliant range of equipment. Staff are also amazing
Positive experience: An 'ex council' gym and pool that has been refurbished under BPL. Now feels more modern and clean. Equipment in the gym is functional but pretty old, often with broken foot straps, oil required on rowing machine, caps missing from cross-grained handles and the like. Still, the pricing is lower here than in some other places, so you get what you pay for.
Positive experience: Good place to get fit,lots of cv machines ,exercise machines and free weights to choose from
Fantastic experience: Great place for local swim
Fantastic experience: Massive gym
Fantastic experience: Great gym and swimming pool!
