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.

Neil Peet 2 years ago

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.

Negative experience: Considering it’s a charity it is expensive compared to my local baths. Nearly twice as much.

Maldwyn Leisure Centre

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.

Fantastic experience: Now managed by Freedom Leisure. You can get a swim and sauna from 7am each day (until 9am) school term times Monday to Friday (early adult swim sessions) and at lunchtimes. It currently costs just over £5 per session, so it's worth getting there early to maximise the time per pound. You bring down the monthly cost if you go frequently by becoming a member.
