Victoria Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great pool and gym, highly recommend coming here, the staff are also very kind and helpful!
Negative experience: Very Rude staff
Fantastic experience: Well equipped gym, great health suite
Negative experience: Really like the gym here but the toilets downstairs, near the pool are disgusting. Told a member of staff the sanitary bin in the women's single toilet was overflowing and disgusting. Was told they "don't deal with it", told her it's disgusting as it's pool side and children will be using that toilet, there was even a wotsits packet crammed in there. Considering it's not only a biohazard and the drug use in the area was shocked by the member of staffs response. Thankfully I only use the gym but be careful if you take your children there/use the toilets.
Positive experience: And the award for the best classes cancellers are.....VICTORIA LEISURE CENTRE. This is getting more and more ridiculous. First of all, it's not a bad place to go swimming or take your kids swimming but they cancel classes like it's no man's business. They never have a replacement. Once a teacher is not available, then that's it. Sometimes classes are cancelled in a row for weeks. It's not nice please. Hire more staff.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant place. They have a real heart for inclusion. Fabulous staff and great facilities. I’m a wheelchair user and have been able to participate in everything from swimming to gym sessions to the health suite with steam room and sauna. Well worth a visit!
Fantastic experience: ✅
Fantastic experience: The best hair cut amazing job, absolutely I will be coming back.
Positive experience: Great place for swimming lessons, just a shame the mini slide and splash area has been out of order for several months now
Negative experience: Kept taking payment even after I requested to cancel my membership. Refusing to refund me.
Positive experience: Very nice leisure centre, I went for a swim, really nice pool. The changing room floors could be cleaner and showers don't stay on nearly long enough!
Fantastic experience: Victoria leisure centre is best centre and staff so nyc and good
Fantastic experience: Great facilities - friendly and helpful staff, really fun swimming session with lots of cool equipment for the kids to use.
Positive experience: Great local leisure centre.
Negative experience: I had booked a swim for fun session today @2:30 pm with 3 of my friends and had most horrible experience with the life guards over there. They don't understand their duty properly and treated us in a most suppressed way possible. First and last time visiting this place again..
Negative experience: I called up to book onto a class, I use both Nottingham and Ilkeston and accidentally called up the wrong one for the class I wanted. After not being able to book online I was confused as to why i was being told the class wasn't on at all as I had it right infront of me with all the class information. Instead of just kindly pointing this out to me that I'd called up Victoria leisure centre Nottingham instead of Victoria leisure centre Ilkeston the woman on the phone was very blunt, dry and made me feel like a total idiot and wasn't helpful at all. I work in customer service, I know it's not exactly fun and can be frustrating at times, but that doesn't mean you can just be rude to people and make them feel stupid.
Fantastic experience: Good standards and friendly ,helpful staff. Excellent facility in many ways.
Fantastic experience: Great place for fitness & swimming ♂️
Negative experience: We visited yesterday with 2 of our residents, the receptionist was lovely and the facilities was clean however the life guards made us feel unbelievably unwelcome and penalized our residents which by the way, the session we attended was advertised as " support session". I think you would benefit from lifeguards who paint a smile, offer to help and don't discriminate. We shall not be returning
Fantastic experience: Good service
Positive experience: Great place to exercise.
Positive experience: Great gym. To be honest, I hope that it will always do well because it is a valuable service in the area. The staff is great.
Fantastic experience: I regularly take my two children here, always immaculately clean and the staff are great with the children
Fantastic experience: Looks great as a first impression. A very clean place that includes both an adult and a minor swimming pool,gym and sauna. I became a member and I can't wait to try it out. Update: Great place. Gym and pool available.

Fantastic experience: this place has been amazing for me I was over 20 stone 2 years ago, I got involved with active and never looked back! The staff are amazing and friendly always smiling, have got to know so many people and made great friends with the groups along the way.I use the health Suit most days as it has helped with my disability and my mental health so much I can not put into words how much I love this place and its on my doorstep! Will be looking forward to when Health suit is open again x
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and all machinery is working, friendly staff
Negative experience: I just start using my membership today and as I don't understand they told me health club and sauna open to until 9 pm but by 8.20 pm staff come in and start cleaning and ask me to leave ??? And they told me ever thing switched off and stop using the any more health club and they ask me to leave which s not confirme with me before ???
Thank you for your feedback K. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to you on your visit. The time you were advised is for the building opening/closure times. For example, the building is open until 9pm Monday to Friday, but each facility/activity has it's own open/closure times. Therefore, we always recommend checking the timetables on our website or our app before setting off for your visit. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
Fantastic experience: Need a boxing bag asappp

Fantastic experience: Great place

Positive experience: Very clean and staff are so friendly
Fantastic experience: Just used facilities. Reception staff very friendly, polite, helpful and accommodating
Positive experience: Very good location
Positive experience: The swimming pool is quite crowded at most times, as 36 people can book to swim in the same time slot in a 6/7 lanes swimming pool, so you're constantly dodging people while attempting to swim across the pool. Besides that everything's great! Especially love the aqua fit fitness session (so fun!). The group sessions are great but I did rush out of the room to catch my breath for a level 1 fitness session. Overall a great deal £30 for swimming, gym and group fitness classes.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! It was my first time visiting this lovely Leisure Centre earlier today and what a superb first impression I got! Friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, the hot showers , toilets and everything else there seemed fine and the swimming pool is kept in excellent conditions.

Fantastic experience: Good gym
Fantastic experience: Great for swimming
Positive experience: Nice place
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and helpful staff
Negative experience: I don't understand why it is so expensive? I been inside and in my opinion just not worth £37 month (plus the £30 signing up fee) just to be able to use the gym? I also don't understand why you have a separate swim package but not one for gym use only?! I would not use, is just too expensive for what are getting.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fine for swimmers of all ages! Staff is friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to help their pupils. You won't find a better place to start your journey of being an ace swimmer.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff. Showed and explained to me how everything works as not been in ages. Not busy do had plenty of room.
Fantastic experience: Very nice place! In 5 years I always wanted to go for swimming but I couldn't find a place close to me, which is easy to use and cheap. Today was my first swimming session. I'll go every week, I was very satisfied! The stuff is very kind and helpful as well!
Fantastic experience: I have swum here many times over the years even though I don't live in Nottingham, but use the pool when I visit my son. It is a lovely pool - clean, welcoming, efficient and super- friendly! (For instance, I once forgot my water and a member of staff brought one for me.) The booking system post- covid was excellent, too. My only gripe is that we were still not allowed to use the showers, which came as a shock as at The National Pool Swansea (my regular pool) these have been available since the facility re-opened. However, despite this I have still given Victoria Leisure Centre five stars as I assume the shower situation is due to council policy and so is no fault of the pool staff - who are wonderful! Many thanks
Fantastic experience: Great swimming lesson for kids. Highly recommended. Really friendly staff. Always with a smile . Many thanks from Liam See you on Saturday.
Fantastic experience: Guzel bir mekan
Positive experience: Les séances féminines avec des surveillances féminines sont un pure moment de bonheur ^^ vivement l ouverture des créneaux femmes enfants !
Positive experience: Spotlessly clean with the Covid. Can't have showers at the moment.
Positive experience: Says I visited 3 years ago. I can't remember what I did last week, let alone 3 years ago. (I am old though, to be fair). I know I didn't use any of the facilities, I'd remember that. But it looks pretty good in the literature. I'll go when I start my new health and fitness regime next year. Do they do a weekly pass?
Fantastic experience: Great place to Swim and Train
Fantastic experience: Great classes, great trainers!
Fantastic experience: Myself and my baby daughter attend the water babies classes here each week. The staff are doing such a fantastic job of keeping the centre clean and safe. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Positive experience: Really glad to see the leisure centre open again. I recommend the childrens swimming classes.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff.i would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: *This review is for the yoga.* I highly recommend Margarite’s class on Thursdays! In her classes you’ll see that her expertise and genuine kindness create an all-around great yoga session. I was struggling with a bad knee a few weeks ago and she gave me alternative poses to avoid any further injury. Her knowledge in the practice is apparent and assuring. Thanks for the lovely lunchtime yoga classes Margarite!
Fantastic experience: Learnt to swim here, as a non swimmer with the ‘Adult Swimming Lesson’ over six months with patient instructors, and now another six months later on! I am water confident swimming breast stroke up to 75 metres and treading water! It has a shallow end of 1m and the deep end 2m! Great facilities spacious corridors and clean changing rooms with £1 returnable lockers!
Fantastic experience: A clean and tidy health centre. The receptionist is so friendly and will help you to get the information even when you speak broken English like me.
Positive experience: Very clean, good facilities.
Fantastic experience: Virtual spin, good equipment, friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Nice and clean. Prices not to bad
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Took my 2 year old swimming and he loved it. They have a little slide and toys for him to play with too. Great modern facilities, we'll definitely be going more often
Negative experience: Can't swap pools during session
Positive experience: Nice and clean
Positive experience: Tidy
Positive experience: Friendly staff always ready to help
Negative experience: Great potential, but not very clean. I cannot attend the swimming pool because of the horrible smell and the state of the changing stalls. They need a better cleaning solution because whoever is cleaning is not doing very well. Upstairs is not as bad but often the floor is very dusty so when I doing the exercises class I'm constantly sneezing especially the Abs blast because it involves getting going close to the floor.
Positive experience: Good facilities
Fantastic experience: This is so lovely now it's been redone. The staff are helpful and I loved the yoga class they do there. My partner swims here every week and it's very reasonably priced.
Positive experience: مافيه غرف مخصصة للنساء لتغير الملابس
Positive experience: Nice small pool just not much fun after 45 mins with kids. Better for learning to swim
Negative experience: By the body changing rooms there people don't like changing on coins with other people people don't like John changing front of other people naked people
Fantastic experience: Warm water for babies
Positive experience: Not the same since they 'refurbished' the brilliant old Health Suite
Negative experience: Green slim on both sides in the deep end , investigated wearing goggles , NASTY, must be a hazard, needs sorting asap , only used victoria leisure centre as arnold is being refurbished, ( always clean ), wont be returning which is a shame as its a lovely centre except above concerns
Fantastic experience: Cheap gym and swimming membership details. Gym doesnt have squat racks.
