St Johns Sports Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Staff lovely, classes excellent should have made more use of the classes. However, I joined to use the gym but got fed up of waiting for equipment whilst the school children sat on their phones, between sets instead of being considerate to other gym users. I will not be renewing my membership.
Hi Taz, Thank you for your feedback. This will be passed onto our operations team.
Positive experience: Ideal location but not enough car space
Thank you for your review.
Positive experience: This is a fantastic GYM/sports complex with a clean and friendly atmosphere, the staff are mostly helpful, cheerful and greeting. Unfortunately the weights/GYM side is some what ruined with young children (respectful for the most part) hogging equipment in groups, sat on equipment using their phone and not allowing other patrons to use the equipment. If more was perhaps done to deal with this issue the GYM would get 5 stars
Thank you for your review! We will pass your feedback onto our operations team to review.
Positive experience: Very helpful staff.
Thank you for your review Frankie!
Negative experience: Equipment doesn't appear to be cleaned..... ever. Equipment is outdated. Water fountains are broken. Place needs a refurb asap
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience. We do however have a daily cleaning rota which includes the gym equipment and currently both of our water fountains are in working order.
Positive experience: This gym is well equipped and has excellent sports facilities available to hire for those who have a membership. It is a relatively quiet gym, which means that machines are not accessible and there is less pressure from others, if you prefer a less competitive gym environment.
Thank you for your review Jen.
Positive experience: Excellent gym with loads of good classes
Thank you for your review Paul! Glad to hear you are enjoying our facilities!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the classes at the St John’s Sports Centre especially Megs “Body pump” on Monday and Nicks LBT class on Thursday. The Reception Staff are brilliant as well. Well done Freedom Leisure.
Thanks very much for your 5* review Bill!

Fantastic experience: Helping millions get healthier by providing innovative, health and wellness products and experiences for everyone.
Negative experience: Cheap and cheerful but equipment outdated. Staff are extremely miserable and unhelpful.
Positive experience: Great facility
Fantastic experience: Really good atmosphere and helpful staff. I have booked a badminton court several times, you can borrow the rackets and if you are a member it works out at less than £6, not bad for an hour with 4 people playing. It gets really busy and you have to book in advance.
Thank you for your great review Evelyne!
Fantastic experience: Had a children's party here and it was really good, the staff were really helpful
Thank you for your review! We are very pleased to hear your children's party was really good!
Positive experience: Good place
Negative experience: Quite expensive and half the gym equipment is out of order. Have spoken to one of the duty managers who blamed the terrible maintenance company. Not good!!
Positive experience: Good location next to the bus station but doesn’t have swimming pool
Fantastic experience: Great place.
Thanks RU for your 5* review!
Negative experience: The one star is just for the gym. The low row has been out of action for about 5 weeks the leg curl about 4 weeks and today I see the chest press is broken god knows how long that will take to repair. The low row still hasn't been repaired 7 weeks out of action leg curl 6 weeks and chest press 4 weeks.
Thanks for your feedback. If you would like to speak to somebody about this issue, please call us on 01905 429900 or speak with our management team during your next visit.
Fantastic experience: Great place lovely staff and plenty of variety of classes
Thanks Kim!
Positive experience: Too many kids use this facility who do not put weights back. Barbells with plates on left on floor. Benches with liquid (sports drinks?) on and general disregard for equipment. It's often treated like a youth club! #instageneration ♂️ The area used for floor exercises with mats could definitely be utilised better. Once you get a spot people are walking over you to get to badly placed bins and spray etc. Punch bag shouldn't be there either. It's an essential part of a gym. Please fix
Thank you for your feedback- we are currently implementing our new junior code of conduct that should improve the gym experience for all users during busy periods.
Fantastic experience: The staff are lovely, make you feel welcome, you don't feel judged, one of the best experiences feels good to work out with no judgement from others,

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff
Thank you Neil!
Fantastic experience: Спасибо за возможность заниматься бесплатно украинцам,отзанималась 3 месяца, купила абонемент до конца года
Negative experience: Awful customer service. I called yesterday as they have been sending me many messages with offers and I finally decided subscribe to the gym and the lady that answered the phone (Jacqueline) was not nice to me and hung up the phone on me 3 times. Disgraceful. I called again to ask for her name and another one answered me refusing to give me their names. She even asked me "Why you want to know my name?"... IDK.... Because I want to know who I am speaking to Maybe??? Sally the 2nd. lady finally identify herself. Seriously what a terrible customer care service. I didn't get the offer obviously.
Fantastic experience: Чудовий спортивний комплекс, є безліч занять на будь-який смак.
Fantastic experience: Nice gym lots of equipment friendly staff
Negative experience: Its a good gym it’s just that 2 of the machines have been broken for a long time one has been broken and it’s says it will be fixed as soon as possible REALLY ? Come on it’s said that for over 3 months now
Fantastic experience: Friendly sports centre. Clean and convenient with some fantastic classes. Edwin Rodriguez's Salsa Fit is amazing fun, Core express is excellent and Pilates with Alicia is fantastic.
Thanks very much for your review!
Fantastic experience: Great classes and lovely staff
Fantastic experience: Love this place, staff are do friendly, lots of classes and they are good
Fantastic experience: Good facilities, usually just play badminton in the main hall (over 50s Friday 4-6pm,). Membership a tad complicated but that is Freedom Leisure's fault! Limited area for post activity coffee but it is a sports centre . The staff are excellent in preparing the courts and really welcoming and efficient at reception.
Fantastic experience: Easy access gym, parking available, staff very supportive and help when needed. Plenty of gym equipment available
Positive experience: A well run sports centre.
Positive experience: Great astro, little expensive though.
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and friendly heplfull staff
Fantastic experience: Lovely place and people
Positive experience: St Johns sports centre may not be the most up to date or swanky sports club in Worcester but it has everything you need to keep fit and stay healthy. Customer service is brilliant and membership fees low. No complicated contracts. Very flexible and added bonus of being able to use other sports centres and swimming in the Freedom Leisure group as part of your membership. Personal trainers if you want them. Easy booking online for classes. Wide range of opening times accessible for all and no monopoly of any gender or age group. Good parking and also outside facilities to book along with a major sports hall. Clean and well organised. I'm a mature user and never feel unwelcome or looked down on. My 14 year old grandson has recently joined. £180 for the year to access everything. He loves it. What's not to like give it a go. You'll be glad you did.
Fantastic experience: Always very clean and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Small simple little sports center with a great student discount and plenty of facilities.
Positive experience: The staff are super helpful and there is always someone around if needed. They have cleaning products readily available for all equipment to be wiped down before and after use, and masks are required when in the communal areas. The equipment is what you'd expect in any commercial gym, they have all the standard weight machines, loads of cardio equipment and plenty of free weights. Also facilities available such as a gym hall for basketball, football and badminton among others and an outdoor 4g pitch that can be hired.
Positive experience: Great gym, love the classes, 1st time back since February too!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff. Lovely courts to play on. Well ventilated. Very clean and safe.
Positive experience: Good facility. Friendly, helpful receptionist.
Fantastic experience: Staff are very friendly and helpful. Place was always clean pre-covid shutdown so I had no worries returning. Even better now as classes are smaller. There is a silver lining to the covid'19 cloud.
Negative experience: Usually a good gym. Since re opening you are only allowed a one hour slot which makes me feel very rushed, causing parts of my workout to be missed out due to other people being on the machines. Also the air conditioning downstairs is either broken or not being used (can’t seem to get an answer out of the staff). Some of the other cardio machines have been moved into the hall, which gets very hot without air conditioning. Booking ahead is another struggle having to sign in every time and select a time starting once every hour and a half which is hard to plan ahead. Overall usually a very good gym, but at the moment has me contemplating switching to another.
Fantastic experience: Felt very safe. Plenty of hand gel.
Positive experience: Staff are available but not in your face. Friendly gym with a good variety of equipment and range of classes.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym well serviced by staffs fitness
Fantastic experience: Astro is fab
Positive experience: Staff are amazing, location is amazing, but it's so small. There's hardly any space to do exercises without machines, there are hardly any variations with the weight machines and is basically a cardio gym.
Fantastic experience: Cool place. Came here for a few athletics events and there is a lot of space including a sport hall, gym, restaurant and more. May be few issues with tech but staff are also caring. All equipment is provided making it a good place to relax.
Positive experience: Decent, reasonably new sports centre. Wide range of indoor activities. Two good 5 a side pitches.
Positive experience: Friendly staff. Free parking. Good gym facilities. Membership a little pricey compared to others in the area, and can get overcrowded at peak times due to the size.
Fantastic experience: Everything you couldn't wish for and not too pricey.
