Robin Park Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: A fantastic venue for hosting tennis sessions. The conditions of the courts are brilliant and the staff are never in a hurry to force you off the court at the end of the night.
Negative experience: Been a member of this Gym now for over 12 years. Its falling down fast. Members are expected to clean the equipment after using. Equipment packs in and takes week to fix. It took more than 5 weeks to fix a locker door. The latest - the Sauna and steam rooms are out of action, been like this for two weeks. It's ripping people off!
Negative experience: I was phoning for an hour with no answer just a voice mail, I wanted to play table tennis, so I drove 10 Mile's to the centre to find 4 people standing around doing nothing on reception, and was told there was no table tennis available, which somebody could of told me if they would of bothered to answer the phone. Very poor communication, answer your phone and stop standing around getting paid to do nothing and give people the information they need and save them a wasted journey. I am not happy with the experience I had and will not be going again.
Fantastic experience: Went for a gym comp...well organised, friendly staff, very good bar and food
Negative experience: Very poor directions signage to everything apart from covid jabs Poor organisation but sister giving jab very good
Fantastic experience: I love it here. All the staff are chatty and friendly. Even fellow gym goers are chatty. I've met a few amazing people here. My fave place to go feel so comfortable
Fantastic experience: I saw my mate Chizzy here
Positive experience: Centre is really excellent for anyone who wants to improve their well-being. Staff are friendly and helpful even for nervous potential goers

Positive experience: Pretty standard
Fantastic experience: Excellent place
Fantastic experience: Had gym induction at profiles with Jacob! He was amazing! Really helpful.
Fantastic experience: Great place and friendly staff
Negative experience: Unhelpful staff, where what's offered is never available.
Fantastic experience: This was the location of the Wigan Beer Festival which I attended with friends for about the tenth year in the trot. A large selection of both light hoppy and darker, heavier beers did not disappoint. The venue, with its bleacher-like terracing was welcoming and large enough to accommodate the festival goers (slightly down due to Northern Rail train drivers being on strike. Methinks they planned their strike dates to coincide with the festival so that they could attend).
Negative experience: Was here at the weekend on Sunday to watch my eldest daughter at the gymnastics competition. It’s really gone down hill this place since I last came last year. I took my 4 year old to the toilet by the reception and bar and the disabled one was out of order so we had to wait to use the other one and yikes when we went in there was toilet roll all over the floor and their was urine all over the seat, the seat was wobbly and was so dirty, very dusty and unclean. The state off that toilet/ bathroom was unacceptable. Surely you have cleaners?? It was 9:45 on a Sunday morning so it should have been clean. I hope next time we come it’s a bit cleaner.
Fantastic experience: Nice leisure centre clean facilities and friendly staff.
Thanks Angela :)
Positive experience: We went to the Wigan Beer festival,which is at the Robin Park leisure centre. A great venue, even though it's a good walk from the town centre. The downside is you need to pay to park.
Negative experience: Been a member at this gym for a few years but it has really gone down hill these past couple of years and i’m thinking of cancelling my membership. There are barely any instructor led classes for people who work full time so can only attend in the evening. They think they are doing you a favour putting on a virtual class which speaking to other members the majority do not like them. The cleanliness of the place is non existent, looks like they don’t even have a cleaner or can’t be bothered. The ladies toilets are disgusting all the time. I feel as though the staff do not care about their paying members as long as the money is coming in and they do not seem happy in their jobs. It’s a shame if money was put into this facility it could thrive. Why don’t you try to encourage fitness instructors to join your facility with a decent incentive.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. I use it in the mornings always get on equipment I use
Positive experience: Good for parking early week time very busy weekends
Positive experience: Went to the gym. Watched the wife exercising. I'm knackered now.
Positive experience: It's a decent size leisure centre
Positive experience: Lovely centre, plenty of parking. My daughter goes here for gymnastics and the set up is great with well trained instructors. The reception staff are always on hand to help with enquires, very kind and informative. I have recently moved gyms and will look forward to accessing the services the Borough has to offer. The gyms look quite small but seem to have a lot to offer although I have not had the experience of training in them yet. Maintenance and cleaning seems a lot better compared to my old gym though. Only issue with this particular centre is the smell in the corridors. I'm not sure if there is a water leak issue but it can be pretty awful at times. The parking can also become a little crazy when there are events on, however there is plenty of parking around the centre that has free parking for a number of hours so not really an issue.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff. Good facilities.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff
Positive experience: The ladies toilets could be cleaner and toilet roll holder always broken.
Fantastic experience: What an excellent and welcoming place. The staff are amazing. We needed to pray and needed a quite place. One of the staff members called Darren accommodated to our needs. A big thank you to all the staff.
Positive experience: Summond for a Health check don't forget to get a parking ticket from reception! All staff very friendly and helpful. They had to find something!
Positive experience: Nice venue for wigan comic con
Fantastic experience: The sport centre is massive, hard to find if you haven't been there before. Me and my son went to the Wigan comiCON,and it was brilliant,packed and full of stales selling film props to comics to all kinds of great geeky stuff . Some celebrities there, looked like they had better things to do , and there attitudes showed. But other than that , recommend highly 1st time there ,will definitely be going back
Fantastic experience: Great for events had some fantastic gymnastics days
Positive experience: It was clean the staff were friendly and helpful and happy.
Positive experience: This was my first experience at Robin Park &was there as a COVID steward, initially I was disappointed to find that it was a pay/display car park as I was there as a volunteer, fortunately a staff member issued me with a day pass & enjoyed the time spent there ( 4 hrs) & looking forward to returning for 2 more sessions
Positive experience: Came for my Covid jab. Paid £2 for parking and the ticket had a refund voucher attached. However, they no longer ‘do that’. I was told the sign explained but I only read the large writing. You need to go to reception and get a free ‘day pass’ and then parking is free. Worth knowing
Fantastic experience: All the training equipment you need and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly
Fantastic experience: Good facilities and nice staff !
Fantastic experience: Looked good. Went for the cat show but plenty of gyms and sports equipment
Fantastic experience: Been coming here about 1 month now and absolutely love it. I particularly like doing the spin classes for a good workout. All the staff are friendly and feel comfortable coming here compared to other gyms I have been to..
Fantastic experience: I love coming to the gym and everyone is helpful and the classes that I use are amazing!
Negative experience: Cleanliness at Robin Park is the worst. Despite constant requests to do various things ie top up toilet roll or empty bins, most staff have an aversion to cleaning. I have personally emptied bins for staff and deposited bin bags at their feet literally, as a paying member. There's been a soiled sanitary pad untouched behind the bin in the ladies WC for FOUR days now. It's unacceptable and not what we pay our membership for... staff are lovely however, and the only reason I keep coming. It's certainly not for their hygiene rating which is below zero. I'm sure I'm not the only thinking this but I would like to see the equipment and facilities cleaned on a DAILY basis like other facilities such as Ashton and Standish which are impeccably clean.
Positive experience: A great team of helpfull staff.not too busy in the morning when useing the gym.

Positive experience: Good gym
Negative experience: Not very impressed. Went to sports hall got parking ticket. Had a pass but incorrectly got told no need to put in car. Signage is poor. All in all not worth the hassle as parking attendants know motorists will get confused, therefore easy prey. Edit. Still don't rate above 1 star, but they did cancel the parking ticket in the end. Nobody needs this sort of hassle though, so why go there.
