Our comment from FitFit UK about Bodmin Leisure Centre:

Bodmin Leisure Centre is a fantastic facility located in Bodmin, United Kingdom, providing a welcoming and friendly environment for all visitors. Many users appreciate the helpful and friendly staff who are always eager to assist and provide great customer service. The centre boasts a wide range of facilities, including a clean and well-maintained swimming pool, indoor tennis courts, and a gym equipped with modern equipment. Visitors have noted the cleanliness of the facilities and the excellent swimming coaches available.

Families have found the centre especially enjoyable, with plenty of activities for children and a designated family area that ensures a safe environment. The pool is praised for being warm and welcoming, making it a lovely spot for swimming lessons and recreational fun.

While the overall experience is positive, some users have mentioned a few areas for improvement, including the need for updates in certain facilities, such as the shower cubicles and the astro turf, which they felt needed modernization. Additionally, there have been occasional complaints regarding booking issues and the restrictive nature of some swimming sessions. However, many agree that the pros far outweigh the cons and commend the centre's value for money and range of activities.

Overall, Bodmin Leisure Centre is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great leisure experience, whether you're swimming, playing sports, or engaging in fitness activities.

Negative experience: 14 pounds for a 50 min swim wirh kids. 90 percent of changing rooms just locked for no reason. Pool closed at 11am due to staff shortages.. Closed the slide after an hour.. Half the lights off.. Pointless waste of money.. Plus too many rules.

Jack Phippard 2 years ago

Positive experience: Decent sized center especially for the area with lots of facilities. The leisure center is clean and its the same story for the changing village fir the pool. The pool is a good sized 6 lane 25m competition level pool although the shallow end is very shallow and the wall is slippy.

Jowan Meaking 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: 5/5 for epic nostalgia, only came for the pool lol

Graham Hobbs 4 years ago

Positive experience: Good facilities and adequate parking. Only 4 stars though due to the fact you can't speak to a person to book anything. It all has to be done via their website. This is not suitable for everyone and if you want a one off visit, I can imagine, having been on the website going elsewhere.

Shelley Barratt 5 years ago

Positive experience: Staff are very good and the system at the Bodmin centre works well. However, it's a nightmare trying to use Better's app. I also think, if it wants to get people back into its centres, which it does, it needs to make booking much, much easier, including being able to do it in other ways than on a mobile phone app which excludes hundreds of people.

Sophia Yasmin Abbas 5 years ago

Negative experience: After visiting nearly everyday since this time last year, my membership was cancelled for no reason. When I asked for this to be resolved, they informed me I'd have to pay a joining fee again! The manager would not waive the fee and was incredibly rude. Awful customer service considering I've been such a loyal customer and have always recommended Bodmin until now!

Robert Gillett 5 years ago

Kirsten Warburton 6 years ago

Positive experience: I play hockey at Bodmin Leisure Centre so I don't really have much opinion about the gym and other facilities. However I have looked into them and the gym looks very modern and the tennis courts are inside and outside; perfect for all weathers. Other facilities consist of a swimming pool, that is used for galas and classes, as well as squash courts.

Carolyn Myring 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great staff

Barn 6 years ago

Negative experience: Accused of blocking up slide during Aqua Splash (Fridays) although it was down to some boy who looked around 8 stopping himself in the slide. To be honest after the lifeguards accused us of this we tried to explain politely what had happened what lead to us somehow being banned from the slide. This gave us a very negative view on the place since and we didn’t have much fun afterwards.

Dan Lowe 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for many years, and I've always found the staff to be very helpful to me as I am visually impaired and need assistance when using the facilities. I would recommend this place to everybody especially for children as it's a great place to come if you just want to have a swim and a good time! the slide is especially good, very exciting again for young children,also the gym is very good, so if you just want to have a workout and don't fancy swim there is an option for you as well.

molly1039 6 years ago

Positive experience: The thing i like about the dragon centre is that there are things for all ages. I do like places that think about everyone so i am not going to rant about that like in my other reviews. However there is not many people that I know that can afford to go to any of the sessions or lessons. So maybe you could think about the prices a bit more. Thank you.

Negative experience: Horride, horrid, horrid company!! I have emails from this company threatening me if I don’t provide documents which they were already given!! I used their online call back service but they never called!!! I re-submitted documents but the birth certicates were rejected!!! Swimming they put stupid rules and restrictions leaving very little for me and the kids to do in the pool.. plus they charge a small fortune!! Plus plus you are so restricted on when you can do a public swim due to them using the WHOLE pool for swimming lessons! Clever company buy all swimming company’s out so you have no choice but to go with them
