Thank you for your review. We offer a range of memberships that work out more cost effective than a one off visit. If you want to come and try the gym for free before signing up we can sort this for you. Please contact the centre.
Negative experience: Showers a d locker are a disgrace, gym has some of the oldest equipment Ihave ever seen. Website is so confusing, if you ask the staff anything they just say look at the website. Timetable on there is so confusing.
Thank you for your review David and apologies you did not have the experience you should have. I will pass your comments on to the centre and if you would like to discuss these please call the centre on 01686 628771 and ask to speak to the Centre Manager. With regards the website, we will look into this, we do also have a mobile application which has the timetables in an easy to view format. Thanks again for your feedback.
Positive experience: Nice and clean, pool was a good temperature too.
Thank you for your review, look forward to seeing you again soon.
Positive experience: Went for an early morning swim. Really clean facilities and friendly staff. The only downside was the lack of swimming lanes, it was a bit of a free for all. It would definitely be safer and have greater capacity if they had swimming lanes with clockwise & anti-clockwise swimming disciplines introduced.
Hi Neil, thank you for your review and your comments, I will pass them on the the team at the Centre. Hope to see you again soon.
Negative experience: Considering it’s a charity it is expensive compared to my local baths. Nearly twice as much.
Thank for your review David. We are a charitable leisure trust but have to set prices in order to keep our centres running and open. We do have a wide range of membership options which if you visit often will bring your cost per visit down significantly. Thank you.
