Holywell Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Acceptable, but only just.
Negative experience: Woman staff very unkind bathroom facilities often dirty accusations of past bad behaviour
Fantastic experience: Fantastic as always
Fantastic experience: Great place
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic place!!! I’ve always hated gyms but it now being imperative I lose weight for health issues, this community leisure centre has made getting fitter something I now enjoy, thanks to friendly, helpful, non-judgmental staff & top notch equipment with a great view from the treadmill - da iawn! There’s even a café for debriefing 10 stars! PS Don’t believe reviews saying staff are rude, this has never once been the case. As a former receptionist I can tell you if one is narky with you, it’s 99.9% of the time being reciprocated. Also some leave bad reviews because they can.
Positive experience: Lovely
Fantastic experience: Great place went with swimming gala good facilities
Fantastic experience: Staff are always very welcoming at Holywell Leisure Centre, especially Val on the counter who always greets us with a smile.
Negative experience: The place was ok and would go back again. But on the 5th of November the lady on the front desk was one of the worst member of staff I have ever come across, and she was the welcome face that is supposed to greet you. When I walked in she was judging the lady before me that had just paid and was leaving to do whatever she had booked. She was more interested in talking to a lad that was standing behind her on the desk, I could tell she felt put out when I was asking about a few things and she didn’t say anything about needing a locker key when they are given out at the front desk. A bad bad attitude and when I was leaving she was more interested talking to the fella about what she was having for tea than a simple thank you for coming or even to look our way. And this wasn’t a young lady so can’t put it down to that. Shocking really, I would go again but a simple change needs to happen
Fantastic experience: Great gym an swimming facilities
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, lots of fun here and will continue to have more in the future
Fantastic experience: The swimming timetable was very easy to find on line, unlike other leisure centres. The pool and changing area were very clean and did not smell strongly of chlorine. The swimming experience was fabulous, the life guards did not blow whistles and they were friendly. The noise level was low as they have a no shouting policy. An extremely enjoyable family swim. I will definitely be making it a weekly occurrence.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient, welcoming staff and trainers. Good all-round facilities with reasonable prices.
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre. Use it or lose it folks.
Positive experience: The kids love it there. The skate park is one of their favourites
Fantastic experience: My children moved here for swimming lessons after having a negative experience at another swimming baths. They have come on so much since changing and it was the best decision I've made. My son has now completed all the waves and is now doing the junior life guard training.
Fantastic experience: Love this place. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Help is always there if needed
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre, lots to do.
Positive experience: Huge pool, a little too cold for me but the kids loved it. Baby pools looked great, very busy. Only the showers by the pool were working so a little busy. Cubicles could do with updating, cleaning and lockers don’t all work- you have to get a key when you pay at reception, we were not told this so a little annoying to get changed then realise you don’t have the key to lock your locker! Needs money spending on it to update and modernise facilities.
Fantastic experience: I went to the libruary section which is great.
Negative experience: Verbally assaulted by a female member of staff from the leisure centre following a parking issue on gwenffrwd avenue involving a road traffic cone. I had to flee the scene to de-escalate the situation.
Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Positive experience: Took my little grandaughter here as I'd read there was a soft play area? Was made welcome, nipped in to the library where we discovered a baby and toddler group on (starts at 10am ), not sure if there's a charge?, we then visited the soft play which was small and SAFE for the little ones , SUPER! - add to this there's a cafe with a good selection of freshly made food available with friendly staff - WILL DEFINITELY GO AGAIN
Negative experience: Rarely answering phone, lacks water fountain. Besides that, great staff and facilities

Fantastic experience: We were struggling to get a venue the day before my daughters birthday as the one we were planning fell through last minute. Holywell Leisure pulled a rabbit out of a hat and managed to fit us in with only 1 days notice after moving some stuff around. Not only that, but the staff were amazing and bent over backwards to make my little girls day!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, and extremely helpful
Fantastic experience: The Aqua Aerobic classes have started back up again now, lots of different slots on different days now which you can check online! To book you can either ring or fill a form online, 12 people per session. On arriving you check in at reception then go into the pool area via the old steam room, then you will go to a bench that has a basket that you pop you clothes etc in and the number of your bench will be the number of the changing cubicle you go to after the session! Your asked to arrive with your swim wear under your clothes. Plenty of sanitizing stations dotted about, social distancing is encouraged unless your with someone from your bubble. Gaynor is definitely teaching the Fri morning session but I think she said that she's been covering all sessions for now. Everyone in the class was upbeat and respectful of distance keeping, you can wear a mask in the pool if you want to but no one in our session felt the need to.

Negative experience: went there for a swimming gala The water felt like I was swimming in a swamp it was that hard to swim in and Loads of my friends have stopped swimming there because of the water . The Poolside area is very Much squished on the side and make a struggle for people trying to get past and also maybe make the Galas more comfortable as its always uncomfortable and that's MADE ME NEVER SWIM THERE AGAIN SO GET WORKING TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY
