Our comment from FitFit UK about Sports Centre:
Welcome to Aberystwyth Sports Centre, a well-established facility that has served the community for over 30 years. Our centre boasts excellent amenities, including a well-equipped gym, a lovely swimming pool, and a newly opened sports dome featuring various equipment.
Highlights:
- Welcoming atmosphere with friendly, professional staff
- Comprehensive fitness facilities suitable for all users, from students to the general public
- Access to specialized areas such as a climbing wall and a sauna
- Value for money with affordable day passes
- Regular community events, including support for local sports competitions
- Great variety of fitness classes available
However, some users have noted areas for improvement:
- Accessing the new sports dome requires walking from an older building, which can be inconvenient, especially during bad weather
- Feedback on changing room cleanliness has highlighted a need for more regular checks
- Some staff members have been described as unhelpful at times, impacting user experience
Despite these minor issues, many patrons continue to enjoy their visits and appreciate the range of services provided. We look forward to welcoming you to our vibrant community hub!
Sports Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Have used the facilities regularly for the last 30 years.
Positive experience: Nice to have new sports dome with various equipment, however you have to get changed in the old building across the road and walk over. Not great when it's raining. Also most of the men's lockers don't work and no lockers (except open bag storage) in the sports dome. Old building needs a revamp.
Fantastic experience: Have enjoyed the access to gym and swimming pool. Good facilities and good staff. I'd like to give a special shout out to Jason Spencer who was kind enough to help me with my posture and a couple of alternative techniques. Really helpful and really knowledgeable. Top man.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities. Very professional staff. Great pool
Positive experience: Visited the sports cage, separate building to the main sports centre. Has it's own small car park and easy access to the top and lower floors. Supported the Wales junior national basketball competition which was great fun to watch.
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Great facilities.
Fantastic experience: Good for not just students bit everyone. We'll stocked
Negative experience: The changing rooms are not checked regularly, on several occasions at different times of the day the womens changing roons have been used and found the floor was filthy and as for the showers you can only describe them as somewhat of a health hazard. The drains absolutely stink of what can only be described as a sewage type smell. Instead of money being spent on a "dome" surely it would have been preferable to clean up and modernise inside the main building before attempting another project...
Positive experience: Has a pool area with a sauna which is fantastic. Equipment is all you need. Separate rooms. My only critique is that if you’re looking for a gym that has low attendance during noon this isn’t the one. The only time to come if you want a personal quiet workout with very little people then coming early morning is the best time.
Fantastic experience: Here for a few days on business, needed a gym with day passes. So helpful on the phone and really good value £4 for gym, pool was even less. Really good selection of cardio, free weights and machines in 4 rooms. Space for stretching or core work. Definitely be back, thanks guys
Fantastic experience: Excellent kit. Helpful staff. Friendly atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Used the climbing wall here. Very reasonably priced and friendly staff. The climbing wall is small but has over 90 separate problems ranging from grade 3 to ~7B, and a fun circuit too. There's lots of climbs for all abilities here.
Fantastic experience: Super

Fantastic experience: Clean, lots of equipment, pool and not over priced
Negative experience: As of late, it's rarely a good experience. Albeit I do enjoy the exercise part.
Positive experience: ❤
Positive experience: Good place just need a bit more professional staff, as they aren’t always helpful. For example I asked a staff to teach me how to use some of the machines and she was lazy to do so. She suggested I go to the free spaces and do regular exercises without using machines and recommended that it’s more effective than using the machines. But sorry why am I paying a membership if I don’t get to use the machines? I can do exercises at home I don’t need to pay to use their space. I was completely respectful and just continued exercising but I don’t feel confident going there again as I’m not sure if I need any help and advice they would do so. Leisure centre gym staff seems to be more helpful they would come and show you exactly how to use any machine and how to position yourself as well.
Fantastic experience: Ideal
Negative experience: There's a lady on reception who is quite rude, abrupt and unhelpful. Such a shame as the centre should be encouraging locals to use it more
Positive experience: Don't sell so many memberships if you don't have the capacity to allow your members in at any given time, especially when your booking system is broken (at least using Firefox browser). Or at least offer a discount since the access to the rooms is limited.
Fantastic experience: Nice pool
Fantastic experience: Sports centre kindly letting public use the pool whilst Aber's leisure centre has been repurposed as a C-19 hospital. Amazing value family session and numbers really restricted so all safe / luxury.
Fantastic experience: Good gym facilities
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure
Negative experience: Phoned to enquire about swimming today, and was told no problem, our names taken, and given a time to turn up. On arrival entry refused because we were not members. If this could have been asked over the phone it wouldve saved us a wasted journey and wasted day.
Positive experience: Well equipped, got all you need. Huge verity in classes. Wish the pool was open earlier than 0715. Some grumpy staff but as I’ve previously worked in a gym I can hardly blame them.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities - roomy gym with lots of machines, great spin bikes and the instructors and knowledgeable and ready to help! Lots of parking too.
