Atherstone Leisure Complex: Opinions
Positive experience: Very welcoming place. Nice cafe, Lovely swimming pool ideal for the little ones of all ages
Fantastic experience: The Leisure Centre is good for swimming as you aren't judged there are steps to make it easier into the pool if you have disabilities. There are different swimming venues. There is also a gym but not been in it.
Positive experience: It's ok
Positive experience: Staff at the front desk are fantastic. Selection of gym equitment is perfect for my needs. Swimming pool isn't very wide, consequently there are only three swimmings lanes which limits capacity. It is also difficult to watch my sons swimming lessons in the main pool because of the position of the viewing area but we are so lucky to have a local leisure centre
Fantastic experience: Lovely pool and pleasant ,helpful staff as I'm disabled and valued their advices
Fantastic experience: Great swimming pools for all the family! The best one locally. Learner pool is a good size aswel as the bigger pool. Summer Splash was fun, during school holidays.. inflatables and music. My children reallt enjoyed it, aswel as myself.
Fantastic experience: Nice little pool for a swim, fairly quiet and reasonably priced.
Positive experience: One of the reasons I like Atherstone is because I enjoy going to the pool. I find the changing spaces always pretty clean and the pool tiles always look clean. I’m a regular swimmer and believe some improvement / investment could be made to the facilities (the showers sometimes run too cold and some of the lockers do not work). Overall a good place to enjoy leisure time, staff are fine. My view is that this leisure centre is an asset to Atherstone.
Positive experience: Could do with a make over Very outdated
Negative experience: The water in the pool is cold,the showers work only on cold water,the changing rooms really need an update ,such a disappointment because is the only Leisure in the town.
Negative experience: The entrance looks really shabby and untidy. It's like it's being left because it's closing down. Vending machines broken, dirty areas on the floor and just miserable. Certainly doesn't inspire fitness and wellbeing.
Positive experience: I only came for a diabetic eye test, it was clean, and the professional I saw was great.
Fantastic experience: Fajne miejsce pod warunkiem że masz gdzie zaparkować
Fantastic experience: Had eye test here unusual yes I know but it was easy to get to
Positive experience: Had to wait a long time for appointment but overall okay
Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff, excellent fitness trainers.
Fantastic experience: Went for a swim tonight, got a bit lost but the friendly staff stopped me from ending up in the deep end. After my swim I noticed they have what appeared to be free lockers available which is nice peace of mind. The shower was too hot for me to use. Be sure to check the time table and probably book as the pool often has swimming lessons on. The pool is 25m. There was no spa or sauna. ♂️ Update: lockers are 50P coin but you get it back.
Positive experience: Pool water just a good temperature for swimming. BUT can't remember the last time the showers were available and piping hot. Today showers were out of order!! If they don't fix them, it makes it too uncomfortable for us older swimmers to enjoy a swim and then have a hot shower before returning home. Very disappointing!!
Fantastic experience: The staff were super helpful. So friendly and kind.
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Affordable swimming and gym, can't complain for less than £40/month unlimited acces to everything

Fantastic experience: Aquacise class well worth a visit. Lovely clean pool.
Negative experience: Many lockers don't work, hairdryer still not fixed in ladies changing room, has been out of order months. Heat in ladies changing room unbearably hot.
Negative experience: Complete disaster. First time swim at around 14.30. Just got in the pool and then they told me you couldnt use the hand paddles for swimming and. ...I had to get out in 7 minutes because there was a birthday party. But...they gave me back my money...
Fantastic experience: So lovely Staff are very helpful. Defo be back soon Jackie mccormack

Fantastic experience: I have mobility problem and go swimming, the disabled room is spot on and nice and clean. All staff are very helpful and find my visits quite enjoyable. You'll see me there more often
Negative experience: Staff great. But still preventing parents watching kids swim, so have to wait outside the building until lessons are up. No good explanations given and no ideas when this will ease. Kids being moved up into next lessons have to join waiting list which is frustrating. Perhaps the same elsewhere? Thankfully no complaints from the kids.
Positive experience: I booked over the phone, very efficient customer service. Clean pool, well organised.
Fantastic experience: Even in the event of staff shortages, the pool and changing rooms are always clean. Staff are seen cleaning public areas on a regular basis.
