Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at Your Space Worksop.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train everything you need whatever your needs
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your review and feedback :)
Positive experience: My daughter has been learning to swim here for a few months and she is making progress being that she cried on her first day. The swim academy is great. My only worry is that the instructors do not get in the pool with the kids, which makes it a little harder for them to learn fast. Otherwise, great staff, great environment.
Positive experience: Fajne lekcje pływania dla dzieci i byłoby 5 gwiazdek gdyby wolne pływanie nie było tak ograniczone oraz zatłoczone
Fantastic experience: Great facilities
Fantastic experience: Only attend the leisure centre for swimming. The staff are very professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Great staff support and advice when joining today
Positive experience: Usually very lovely whenever I go swimming around noon. Today it was an absolute catastrophe. I went at half past 7pm. As a medium fast swimmer it was literally impossible to do one uninterrupted length (either being kicked, splashed at or I could not overtake due to the small lane available) Half the pool was blocked for kiddies swim lessons and in the slow lane, there were little kids jumping in and out too. Other people told me that it is often like this unfortunately. I give three stars for the cleanliness, the friendly staff and the large changing facilities.
Positive experience: Great staff and facilities, love that there are separate changing and shower areas after a swim- knocked one star off for the parking, unless you go in the afternoon after school is over with, you will really struggle to find a space
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, very clean and tidy.
Negative experience: The atmosphere in the men's changing room and pool area is unpleasant due to hygiene issues and lack of cleanliness. The showers have issues with water flow, requiring constant pressing to maintain, which is inconvenient. Additionally, there are instances of inappropriate behavior, such as men walking naked in the changing room and an older individual exposing themselves in front of school children, which is concerning. Furthermore, there are disturbances caused by loud weightlifting and noisy children, making it difficult to focus or relax. While the price is reasonable considering the amenities offered, the overall experience falls short in terms of cleanliness, safety, and ambiance.
Fantastic experience: Went for the lego day it was brill
Positive experience: Easy access lots of shopping and food outlets.
Negative experience: Cheating hockey umpires ruined a 90 mile round trip
Fantastic experience: Great pool , small but we'll equipped gym , good changing rooms , friendly staff
Positive experience: Been taking my 1 year old to swim lessons for a few month, great teacher & clean pool. I find the changing facilitys or lack of them for babies is terrible, the family changing rooms are locked for school use at the same time as baby swim lesson. The changing tables do not fit into the the family changing rooms either leaving you to change ur baby on a mat on the changing room floor. Very disapointing
Positive experience: Took little granddaughter for her weekly lesson. Mal always makes it fun and interesting for the children. Good place, clean and tidy.
Positive experience: This is nice place for families, I like the short swimming classes for kids, but I didn't like the parents waiting area, has only three tables .
Fantastic experience: Enjoying the swimming!!! Good staff very friendly.
Positive experience: Great staff, good gym with modern equipment.
Fantastic experience: Ruth has been an enormously good instructor and teacher to our kids - Jacob and Edward Hoyle. Edward absolutely loves Ruth and when he sees she is the instructor of his group, he is excited to go and try his best for her. Gentle and soft spoken, but firm with kids, encouraging them to achieve the best they can do and just a little bit more. I am very greatful to Ruth for her input in Edward’s progress. Thank you Ruth - you are brilliant!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities
Positive experience: a meh gym
Fantastic experience: Daughter has swimming lessons here. Oves nigel her swimming instructer
Negative experience: Wouldn't recommend a Pool Party here . My friend had a pool party for her grandson . The party room is in the school some distance from the swimming pool.
Fantastic experience: Nice leisure centre
Positive experience: A lot of lockers to change in nice swimming pool, totally recommended
Negative experience: I had booked to go in (for those who do not know this is meant to secure your spot at the gym area) however they had let someone who didn't book go in and take my spot meaning I had to wait for almost an hour and by the time I had been able to enter due to there being a space my booking had finished and I had to leave, they said there was nothing they could do even though they was the ones that made the mistake.
Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: Great place to swim.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with this place. Gym is very impressive and staff are very friendly and helpful.
Positive experience: Good pool, but not the best for spectators. Uncomfortable seats, and you can only see half the pool from anywhere other than the first two rows!
Positive experience: Great place for a peaceful workout
Negative experience: My kids have been swimming at this pool for several years, unfortunately it is hit and miss if you get a reliable instructor that will provide a service that you pay for. When dealing with management about any concerns you are told what you want to hear but the problems are ignored rather than dealt with. If you do raise an issue expect to be black listed and talked about as the instructors pass each other poolside rather than them actually take the time to adapt to their students. Clearly too many students in one class for some of the instructors to actually teach all of them at once, and don’t expect any progress if the instructor is off as the cover instructors are there just to pass the time.
Fantastic experience: Great fun for the kids ,plenty of seating for parents. There a snack bar that sells a good variety of food and drinks
Fantastic experience: Steam and sauna are great.. be even greater with a cold plunge pool too
Fantastic experience: Lovely and friendly service
Fantastic experience: Very good
Fantastic experience: My Granddaughters both have swimming lessons here. lovely place to swim for all ages. Such a friendly environment. The welcome is wonderful right from reception through to poolside. Kind, caring people that are a credit to Worksop make this a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and friendly staff
Positive experience: Best gym in town Tough there's not many equipments but having all the essentials
Fantastic experience: Well laid out car park with dedicated disabled parking on either side of the centre. The centre itself has a two storey gym, the exercise equipment is ample and clients referred by a GP can request one to one help and supervision. It has a clean 25m pool and smaller pool where numerous classes are held and evening and weekend lessons are held for "Learn to Swim" with Lifeguard attending. Single Changing rooms and one for group changing for women and one for men are also available. Toilets for disabled in changing rooms and in foyer and on first floor which can be accessed by a lift. Seating in spectator gallery is clean and adequate for galas which are held at times. There is a dance studio where classes are held and steam and sauna rooms in changing rooms. All in all well worth visiting.
Positive experience: Great workout just the staff arent as knowledgeable as hoped or imagined for a gym
Fantastic experience: Great equipment for all fitness levels. Staff friendly and helpful
Negative experience: I'm starting to get frustrated at this gym. I've been a member for years but recently , the virtual spin is always on and off with the projector breaking, I've been tonight at 6.15 for a virtual spin class as stated on the timetable but there's a live class on instead, was told it would finish at 6.45, so I waited around and the class is still going on at 6 45! I've got better things to do than wait around all night for a spin class! No idea why the time tables have not been updated, it's so disheartening when you're trying to reach your fitness goals....if it doesn't improve over the next few weeks I'm going to look at moving elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Nice refurb. Pool very clean.
Fantastic experience: Always good .... I hold a leisure card for the Gym etc
Fantastic experience: Love the classes
Fantastic experience: Best place to reach your fitness goals. Well maintained place with brand new equipment. We can track our progress using registered mobile application. Amazing cardio machines. Variety of new machines available. Affordable price range. Gym, swimming are my preferences but there are lot more facilities if your interested in.
Positive experience: Nice pool, badminton courts are good, £10 per hour for the court hire
Fantastic experience: This is great place
Positive experience: Helpful staff, clean environment.
Positive experience: Needs a seating area but apart from that fantastic place
Negative experience: Constant swimming lesson cancellations! We have our two grandchildren on swimming lessons here and although they are good when they are on there is a stream of cancellations at no notice. My grandkids are in different classes 30 mins apart. The eldest is just under two and a half and the youngest 18months. They ABSOLUTELY LOVE SWIMMING. On Saturday the 5th June my grandson had his session as normal whilst his sister looked on in excited anticipation of her turn. Then when his session ended they were told her session was cancelled and she was t going to be swimming. If any of you have hearts and kids you can imagine the devastation this caused her, I write this review the following day and she is still upset about the whole episode, can you imagine her trepidation about going again and not being able to swim. Quite frankly I am appalled! Update: 3 Years since posting this, I can also add that based on experience I would suggest looking for coaching with smaller class sizes. This may be "reasonably" priced but my observations over the last few months have been such that I would argue these are less swimming lessons and more supervised splashes. We are in the process of looking at other options on the basis that double the price for double the progress is a quid pro quo.
Fantastic experience: Clean friendly leisure centre, good sized pool for the little ones and good value for your money. Pool was so warm too.
Fantastic experience: Always been a nice place to exercise, meet up with friends and the staff are Gr8 .....

Positive experience: Easy parking good facilities
Positive experience: My children have swimming lessons here. The teachers are lovely but the organisation of this place is fair from great. My children have come on leaps and bounds with their swimming which is the main thing.
Positive experience: A festival of indoor court sports and iron being pumped on the outskirts of Worksop. Clean and well staffed facility with a direct link into the highschool next door. Outside are enclosed areas for tennis, football and the like.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and the kids pool is excellent (warm too)
Fantastic experience: Seems ok
Fantastic experience: Perfect
Positive experience: Very smart and well run, but the air conditioning is far too severe which is why I haven't joined. It is good to have the temperature regulated but not to the extent that it is really cold. Fortunately I have found another gym in Worksop that just opens windows on hot days thereby making it a much more pleasant environment.
Negative experience: Complete lack of politeness
Positive experience: Good gym. Nice clientele.

The Staff are great helpful and very friendly
Positive experience: I just do the swimming there. But good to park car. Very nice 25yards nice life guards.
Positive experience: Second visit to this Leisure Centre for a 'laned swim' during the lunch break. For £4.50 you get from 12.15 until 1.30 if you need to swim for that long. Changing facilities are clean and spacious and cater for disabled swimmers and adults with young children. The pool is a standard 50 metres and three lanes are roped off for fast, medium and slow swimming with a board that indicates the direction you should swim in. The remainder of the pool is available to those who are beginners or people who like to stand in water shooting the breeze with friends. Other facilities include a small, shallow pool for parents and toddlers, Aqua Fit classes and a gym (not visited) There's also an outdoor astro turf surface for other sports. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Nice environment, beat the hockey team 5:1 noobs we third of table
Positive experience: Staff are always friendly and helpful, despite busy queues sometimes on class change overs. There is a wide range of classes on offer; delivered in a fun way by experienced and highly capable staff. Booking in advance is advisable, due to demand. The pool is full size, and the gym is modern, well equiped, supervised and appealing to all ages. Membership is a sensible price and very worthwhile.
Positive experience: Nicer than most, shame the lady's changing room floor could be cleaner. Pool lovely not too busy.
Fantastic experience: My kids go swimming here for lessons and have come on brilliantly. The staff are great with them. I have also been a member of the gym which has fantastic up to date equipment and is really well priced as you get lessons and swim included. There are many different sorts available here.
Fantastic experience: Great services and gym nice clean place. But the big pool always seems cold compared to other sports facility complexes I have visited
