Kirkby Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great staff. We love it here!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: Nice
Negative experience: Not clear on website opening times of the pool, it states closes at 6 but this is just for the centre, not good when you've travelled on public transport on a cold wet day only to find its closed!
Fantastic experience: For English standards it's cool and clean
Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly staff and good activities
Positive experience: Staff very helpful and facilities pretty clean,few bits in the pool hence the 4 stars.
Fantastic experience: The swimming facility is great, clean and staff are friendly.
Positive experience: It is an organised environment. Even though it was a bit far from me, the few times I took my boy for his football game, it was lovely. It is also a clean and neat environment.
Fantastic experience: Really great place good swimming pools my daughter had a party room their and the hall is so big clean and beautiful
Negative experience: Been going swimming for years every morning the last two times I have been I have picked up a viral infection from the pool won't be going back anymore plus the water is always cold ☹
Positive experience: Gym is well equipped, friendly staff and customers. Tiles around the shower by the sauna could do with some mould spray on them.
Fantastic experience: Nice place, clean at reasonable prices!
Positive experience: Went here with a school group for lessons. The staff were amazing and really took care with the children's learning. The facilities were as you would expect in a pool and everyone/thing was kept safe. Just remember to bring your flip flops or sliders if you aren't going into the pool otherwise it is very slippery barefoot!
Negative experience: The right place should be Kirkby Leisure Centre, this is nowhere I wasted a lot of time to navigate
Fantastic experience: Great place for the community to have these facilities!
Negative experience: Awful management of the 4G facilities by VOLAIR. Complained numerous times about kids coming on the pitch on bikes and verbally abusing the players. Needing to increase safeguarding levels shouldn’t be the case. No where else to go that isn’t managed by VOLAIR - awful communication. Simple solution to manage the 4G by having security on the gate not even considered …
Fantastic experience: Attended a pulmonary therapy session at the Leisure centre yesterday. Staff attentive, gave good advice and monitored me throughout my activities.

Fantastic experience: helpful staff, good facilities and pool changing area always clean
Fantastic experience: It’s my gym
Positive experience: Love this pool the only issue is when the adult swim.is on 1pm-2pm the school kids come in and often take up 2 lanes in the main pool which are supposed ro be for the adult swim ,plus the music is switched off so not really the best relaxing hour which we've paid for with our membership ,many people have complained but it's still the same, noisy, choppy and not enough lanes available for the adult swim
Positive experience: Great gym is not too busy. Some of the machines feel a bit dated, but overall, it is a great place to train

Negative experience: No cafe to get a hot drink. Huge place with lots of football groups and spectators, but the cafe is closed... what a shambles. The 2 stars are for cleanliness outside
Positive experience: Nice swimming pool, needs more pool side seats for watching though.
Negative experience: Worst Gym Ever. Told me I’m not allowed to go to the gym till after 3:30pm because I’m under 18. I’ve been going the gym early everyday for weeks. Terrible staff
Negative experience: So disappointed no respect for disabled people. The lady in the office prefer chatting and laughing.
Negative experience: Absolutely unhelpful lady at the desk! Wanted to sign my family for swimming but morning staffs said something different and afternoon staff different on the top of it, no chair for me to rest as I am disabled , waiting in the queue for nothing and asked to wait longer as swimming class has started and they has to cut in to the line in front of me. Absolutely disgusting!!!!!

Negative experience: Why bother having a phone line when no one ever answers!!! Been trying to call for over three days now!!!
Negative experience: I was sent here as part of a fit for life programme. This is my 5th week and still I havent been shown how to use any equipment. I can only go of an evening and I have yet to see a member of staff present. I have decided to give it a miss and join a proper gym.
Positive experience: Swimming pool for kids is brilliant, But we don't like the fact that some showers are not working for years, toilets have no soap and needs updating. It looks like there is no maintenance staff in whole building...
Positive experience: Visited for football good facilities
Fantastic experience: Great gym and pool
Fantastic experience: Gret facilities and fun for all the family

Fantastic experience: Really nice place. I was only outside on football match but looks really good
Fantastic experience: Everyday use but pick your time cos can get buzy
Fantastic experience: Lots of things to do
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, prices are good too and very clean facilities
Positive experience: Facilities are great, everything you would want to either keep or get fit. Friendly helpful staff. Has a fantastic assortment of classes. I particularly enjoy tai chi and pilates. Has good football pitches. Swimming pool and gym are, in my opinion, excellent. The only reason I'm giving a 4 and not a 5 is that I would like to see a bigger coffee bar and, perhaps, a brighter colour scheme in the gym. But I'm nit picking really. I would recommend volair all day long. Very reasonable membership costs. Love the place.
Negative experience: Tried to phone 8 times today and each time the phone was picked up and you can hear laughing then promptly hung up. Totally unprofessional and shows the mentally of the staff employed, if they can't be expected to answer a phone is this the place to send children for swimming lessons ?
Fantastic experience: Great gym and pool here and great for kids to go swimming
Positive experience: As expected from a local authority based leisure centre I go for the baby and toddler lessons with my daughter and the training pool is very up and down with the temperature. Sometimes it's as it should be, sometimes it's too cold for kids. They need to keep on top of it.
Fantastic experience: It's a lovely friendly place to go.
Fantastic experience: Nice car parking facilities .Friendly staff. Badminton courts are decent. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I enjoy the classes but it could do with a refurb,looks like there not spending anything on repairs looks like Kirkby is going private EXPENSIVE no more gym for us
Fantastic experience: Brilliant aqua class xx changing rooms need up dating
Fantastic experience: Nice leisure centre, cheap, and friendly staff
Positive experience: Would be nice if the disabled had easy access to toilet facilities. A butty wagon on the car park would be nice as well, generate some £ for the council as well.
Fantastic experience: has everything you need
Negative experience: Turned up on a Friday evening for a leisurely swim. It was anything BUT leisurely. Children stood in every part of the pool splashing and jumping in . It was not possible to complete a sign length without being splashed in the face or kicked. Absolute chaos!
Fantastic experience: Gym has just been upgraded and is fantastic, great pool and 3G pitch, free parking
Fantastic experience: Great football pitch for the kids
Positive experience: Very clean and very friendly staff went there with my daughters dance company and they were very accommodating. Lovely facilities
Fantastic experience: Brilliant leisure centre plenty of parking spaces
Positive experience: Friendly staff and great food
Fantastic experience: Need wheels fixing on Goals Nice Place
Negative experience: Good facilities, shame about management, they are very lazy, plenty of members have complained about the no drinking water machine in the gym being turned off, management making excuses, saying they waiting for a new filter since end of lockdown 12th April 3021, that's 4 months now, no drinking water in gym, it's a joke and a accident just waiting to happen with someone collapse with over heating body. Shame on management, but ok taking your membership payments. Health and safety issues here.
Positive experience: First visit and last. Water was not as clear as all the pools l have visited in fact it was murky. Not impressed.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Negative experience: Disappointed my direct debit was cancelled and within 3 days they had Debt Collectors hounding me. I was away for 2 days and the E mail was threatening BE AWARE
