Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre

Fantastic experience: Good gym and facilities

Positive experience: The leisure centre itself is extremely good, there are plenty of things to do while here including a swimming pool and gym, as well as other services which make it essential for the local community, such as a Library, Hair Stylist, and a council service area. My only complaint would be the parking, which is time limited to 2.5 hours and controlled by ANPR cameras, making it very easy to get a parking ticket. This isn't the fault of the leisure centre, as it is run by a third party company, but because of the proximity to the leisure centre, it is easy to mistake for a council run car park.

Positive experience: Busy place, usually a steady stream of golf coming and going. Car parking is not good as it's now difficult to get a space and you can't stay long.

Fantastic experience: It's boyo

Positive experience: I must have only driven past to have to leave a review, the last time I was at the gym I got kicked out for spending all my time on the vending machine.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely cracking wrestling performance

Negative experience: Wedding reception. We were not informed that the bar was cash only. Staff completely chaotic. Forgot to get drink for toasts so reception was delayed. Whole place needs a good clean. Disappointed.

Positive experience: I usually use the treadmill as it helps me with walking safely.

Positive experience: What you'd expect from a council run leisure centre. Gym, pool and sports halls are old but good enough.

Fantastic experience: I love it

Negative experience: Depressing

Negative experience: the swimming pool changing rooms are utterly awful, dirty and stinking. Ther area of showers and small pool are just disgusting. Drainage needs cleaning.

Positive experience: Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre is a multi-sport venue and leisure facility, located in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. The centre was opened in 1974 and has facilities for swimming, exercise, an indoor climbing wall, and a main sports hall for sports such as basketball, badminton and indoor football. This weekend it hosted the 2023 English Acrobatic Championships. Helpful and friendly staff.

Positive experience: Would recommend

Positive experience: Basic for your money and staff need a lesson in customer service

Fantastic experience: Great value for money. Caters for all types of activities good Pool . Clean . Love it x

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and pool at a very cheap price. Membership includes classes such as yoga and bodypump (as well as use of the pool). Lots of equipment to choose from in the gym and if you time it right, you can have the place almost to yourself. The pool is the best in the area (in my opinion) and has decent lane swimming sessions every day. Parking is usually easy to find and is free and right next to the centre.

Fantastic experience: Love it. There are 3 levels of equipment- whatever you need/ want.

Fantastic experience: Excellent venue.

Fantastic experience: Love coming here. Swimming and gym for myself and my daughter loves to do her gymnastics here and visit the library too.

Fantastic experience:

Positive experience: Good value for money when visiting with a baby compared to The Fish Tank (also see my review for there), taking the whole experience into account - £8.40 for two adults and a baby compared to £22.50. Facilities are reasonable, if a bit dated, but could be cleaner. Useful to have mixed/family changing rooms but none were free when we got there and groups without babies were using them. Would be better to give access only to families with babies as there's no safe place to put your baby while getting changed in the other cubicles. The staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful and we all enjoyed our swim.

Negative experience: My daughter attends swimming lessons here but seriously considering pulling her out which is a shame but sadly the cleanliness of the facilities are a borderline health hazard. The last 2 visits there has been urine running through the cubicles, both times I’ve pointed this out to staff to find half an hour later nobody has rectified. On top of this the genuine cleanliness of the floors and toilets are also disgusting. Locks on lockers are also temperamental. In terms of swimming lessons there is some value for my daughter but they are stupidly overcrowded.

Positive experience: Aqua fit class excellent could do with more changing room cubicles

Positive experience: nice place

Fantastic experience: Went to watch my granddaughter on her swimming lesson. Good facilities

Negative experience: Only 3 showers for pool, meaning chilly queuing, changing area mixed (didn't see a warning about this) many lockers broken. Pool itself and class was fine.

Negative experience: After standing in the queue for over 30 mins finally get in to find you can only go on the inflatable no swimming aloud. All kids have to line up freezing the get a go back round to the queue. Last session we attended you were still allowed to swim down the deep end. This is the second pool we’ve tried to swim at today stood in the queue for bishop’s fun session to find all the places taken.

Positive experience: Whole experience was fine as attending a well run netball tournament. Parking was difficult.

Fantastic experience: Had a revamp although I don't use the facilities it also incorporating the library

Fantastic experience: Yerel bir mahalle merkezi saat kulesi ile buluşma noktası

Negative experience: Facilities are slowly being either removed or run down, steam room has been out of action since 2018 and the sauna is shocking. Changing rooms and lockers are disgusting and people take no notice of the no outdoor footwear signs. Won't be renewing my membership.

Fantastic experience: Sean and members of the Athena gymnastics are so helpful, they'll do anything to help. A vital place that's prominent in the town. A fab addition to the community.

Positive experience: The staff are very nice, the gym is amazing, the swimming pool is small but good, nice warm changing rooms but sadly the showers are ridiculous there is 2 at the poolside not suitable for children as the temp has to be manually set, no option to showering properly and you have to leave the changing area to put your shoes on so dirty feet or wet socks.

Fantastic experience: Very clean large venue

Positive experience: Nice sports complex with swimming baths and gym.

Fantastic experience: Great pool

Positive experience: Staff supportive and friendly

Positive experience: Lost points with no where to eat

Negative experience: I've given it two stars cos why oh why do gyms insist on membership to tie you in for a year? It's expensive and in the current financial climate quite a commitment! I haven't used the pool yet so no comment The library I will give five stars to....well stocked, excellent staff, lovely seating area, access to computers everything a library should be today - well done DCC for putting it together with the leisure centre
