Fantastic experience: I go to the gym at the Dalgetty Bay Sports Centre. It's a really good gym and has a good variety of equipment. Looking forward to joining some classes in the New Year. I know you can do excercise at home and outside but I feel more motivated to do that as well if I go to the gym. There is a great assortment of weights too for people who wish to develop stamina and strength. Staff at the Leisure Centre are all nice and helpful.

Negative experience: Went here to watch an EOSL match, terrible place to watch football, terrible pitch, public toilets next to teams dressing rooms, just not set up for football at this level. Lovely people and great hospitality, but an awful venue.
Hi David, sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit. We will pass your feedback on to the management team.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, helpful staff
Thanks for the 5 star review Alexander.
Fantastic experience: Great indoor place for bouncy castles on Gala day.
Thanks so much for the 5 star review Steve.
Positive experience: Only used the gym so can only give my experience of that. Good facilities that are well maintained by friendly staff. Opening times aren’t ideal though, they close at midday and open again at half 3 during the week which seems odd - maybe they weren’t usually busy at these times. I’m hoping they extend the Sunday opening hours at least, 2:30pm close isn’t great. Other than that, i’d recommend it if you live locally and want a decent enough gym.
Hi Liam, thanks for taking the time to leave a 4 star rating. We have passed on your comments regarding opening hours to the management team.
Fantastic experience: Nice
Thanks for the short and sweet 5 star review R J.
Positive experience: Used it for the gym. Large room with plenty equipment. Not staffed all the time tho and when needed advise on how to use a certain item. Nobody was around to ask.
Hi Wendy, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. If no staff are in the gym please ask at reception they will be able to advise when a gym staff member will be available, and they will be more than happy to show you how to use the equipment.
Fantastic experience: Lovely friendly staff
Thanks for the 5 star rating Susan.
Fantastic experience: Went to book a badminton court for some VR, worked a charm, staff very friendly and helpful
Hi Gavin, glad you enjoyed your game of badminton. Thanks for the 5 star rating.
Positive experience: Love the gym but am disappointed that i can no longer use the gym at lunchtime. Is there a reason for this and will lunchtime gym use be re-instated at some stage? Because of no lunchtime access i have marked down star rating, nothing personal!
Hi Sarah, thanks for the review. We understand your frustration and sorry that these changes are having an impact at a time when you visit. The changes, believe it or not, were made at periods of the day where we felt it would have the least impact on customers. Unfortunately, attendances during these times have been in steady decline for some time. As we are still in a period of Covid recovery the reduction in opening hours will elevate some financial pressure and ensure the future of the facility. At this stage we cannot say if this is a temporary or permanent measure. Please note this is not specific to Dalgety Bay other leisure centres in Fife are reducing opening times at periods when visitor numbers are very low.
Positive experience: Good sports centre. Clean and well looked after. Was here for football (swifts), good facilities, but only thing I can say is, it was disappointing that I couldn't get a cup of tea or coffee or anything to eat. Staff and players were very welcoming.
Hi William, thanks very much for the 4 star review. We will pass on your feedback to management. Just to let you know the vending facilities were reinstated on Monday (16th August), you will be able to get that warm drink now.
Fantastic experience: Staff are Excellent and very helpful thats how I give 5 Star
Thanks very much for the 5 star rating Craig.
Positive experience: Grandson plays football here a excellent sports centre
Hi John, thanks for taking the time to leave a 4 star review, your feedback is appreciated.

Positive experience: cheese
Thanks for the 4 stars. Sorry, not sure what the comment means Hugo though?
Fantastic experience: Best badminton courts in Fife
Hi John, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Did you know if you play with anybody 17 and under during the Summer they only pay £1 with the Quid-a-Kid offer and participating adults only pay £2 too! This offer is from 10am to 5pm and subject to availability.
Fantastic experience: Plenty of space to exercise with all the equipment needed

Hi Dave, thanks very much for the 5 star rating.
Positive experience: Cheap and cheerful for kids parties.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Colin.
Positive experience: It is a Pokémon go gym, other than that I am a fat lazy git who would not use a sports and leisure centre
Hi Keith, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Not too sure what you mean by 'a Pokémon go gym'? However if you would like to come in and give the gym a try, please speak with a member of staff who will be more than happy to help you.
Positive experience: The display is good the equipment is up to date a few things aren't in there but it's all good. If only it was a 24hrs gym or shuts at 11pm and opens at 6am.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Isaac. We will pass on your feedback to the gym manager. If you can travel, did you know that Carnegie Leisure Centre opens 5.10am week days?
Positive experience: Good sports centre but the gym facilities didn't come across as good as they were when I used them 20 year ago.
Hi David, thanks for your feedback, our gym equipment was updated this time last year. Is their any particular piece of gym equipment that you would like to see? If you let us know we can pass this information on to our Gym Co-ordinator.
Fantastic experience: The new gym layout is excellent
Thanks for the 5 star review Richard.
Positive experience: Great facilities. Well run by a good team of staff. Head Coach St Davids Blacks YFC
Hi Prince, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Positive experience: Well equipped gym for an average person, friendly staff, Johnny (trainer and gym supervisor) is a great helpful outgoing guy. Unfortunately there’s times (almost always) where the weights are disorganised or left on the barbells, while at the same time staff can be seen not looking particularly busy - I’ve also heard from a friend and employee that there is often lazing around (not always luckily!). A decent number of gym goers are disrespectful and lazy, leaving weights lying around, who I - a paying customer - then have to tell to put them away.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We will be sure to pass on your feedback to management.
Positive experience: I had a stall at the craft fair, it was very well organised, unfortunately the weather was very poor but still a good day
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Christine. What in your opinion could we do better to achieve 4 or even 5 stars?
Fantastic experience: Great place for the kid and for adults
Hi Barry, thanks for taking the time to leave a 5 star review.
Positive experience: Great place for kids party
Hi Jay, thanks for the 4 star review. We are glad the party was a success.
Positive experience: Was at a kids birthday party and at least my niece had good fun. Party was well run. One gripe is there is no cafe only vending machines
Hi Michael, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately we do not have the space for cafe facilities. However Fife Council manage the cafe facilities within some of Fife Sports and Leisure Trust's other venues; Carnegie, Duloch and Micheal Woods. Please see our website for more details.
Positive experience: S'good
Hi James, thanks for your review. Short, sweet and straight to the point.
Positive experience: In for badminton, great centre but the car park was a bit manic.
Hi John, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry you had issues parking, hope this does not put you of returning for more badminton.
Positive experience: Update: Clean, bright, equipment well maintained and friendly, helpful staff. In response to owners, I'd give more stars if there was full integration with technogym and mywellness app. I'd like to login and store my profile, edit my workout preferences and save workout records
Hi Charlie, thanks for your review and positive comments, we'll make sure they are passed on to staff. You did only leave us 3 stars, what in your opinion could we do better to achieve a 4 star rating?
Fantastic experience: Great place for football training for kids.x

Hi Brian, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
Positive experience: Visit part of Active Fife. Angela a real whizz kid! Understands us 'oldies'!!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a star rating Jennifer.
Positive experience: Staff are much more helpful than other Fife Council premises (Duloch). 5 A side pitches and courts for hire are decent. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare. Stays open until 10pm allowing late sessions. Staff are diligent and don't mess up bookings (unlike Duloch)
Hi Andrew, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We will pass on your information to management regarding your experience of the staff at Duloch.
Fantastic experience: Good facilities and ample parking.
Hi Sean, thanks very much for you review Sean.
Fantastic experience: Eat, sleep, spin, repeat......

Positive experience: New gym opened downstairs, better ventilation and more space. Better choice of apparatus
Thanks for the comments and 5 star review Cg.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, good facilities and excellent instructors...especially Susan Spowart. An outstanding pilates instructor. Everything is explained in detail. The classes are always different so you never get stale doing the same things over again. My wife and I have been going for about 6 months. Its made an enormous difference to us physically.
Hi Deb, thank you for leaving a review. We will make sure this feedback gets passed on.
Positive experience: Its really good as a local sports centre. Small gym, has the basic machines and some free weights. New astroturf too!
