West Denton Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: I am using the gym at the leisure centre as I am trying to lose weight, and it's working.
Negative experience: This leisure centre is non-existent now it has been pulled down to build a new one
Hi Martin, the old pool building has been demolished but the gym, sports hall and football pitchs are still open, we are located around the back of the old pool building in the same car park as studio west school.
Fantastic experience: Good Pitch quality
Negative experience: Must update your Google page , wanted to go swimming , turned up , not had a swimming pool , for over 3 years , update your details
Hi Paul, We are sorry you thought we had a pool. We have updated our google page. There is no mention of our pool but there are old photos that were uploaded by members of the public.

Positive experience: We went for a kids party, small bouncy castle in a big hall. The whole venue seemed extremely quiet, gym seemed empty for a saturday although we didn't go in so couldnt be 100% sure on that, bever seen 1 member of staff so either busy elsewhere or lack of staff.
Positive experience: Good teachers for exercise classes
Fantastic experience: I've been to 2 of the fitness classes and I'm feeling wonderful...the instructors, the atmosphere,the lovely people around...the best decision

Fantastic experience: Everything in one place for every level of fitness and leisure
Positive experience: Good facilities and staff but management don't respond to comments, requests.
Fantastic experience: Very good
Negative experience: Pool area ok but the sauna area is not up to standard, had a smell of foist and the loungers are terrible, so uncomfortable just like the white plastic beds on holiday. Also if you choose to have a swim and a sauna you have to go past the public area in your swimsuit as they do not allow you to go down the back stairs anymore. Not a good experience for quite a high price too.
Fantastic experience: I go here all the time i highly recommend i just wish they had a larger weight section in the gym bc it often feels a bit cramped
Fantastic experience: Just a quick visit, great
Fantastic experience: Great place
Negative experience: Up from Wales and took children there. Got there at 12:15 and they wanted to charge us full price (£14..... baby was free) and told us we only had until 13:00. Hung about and went in at 1pm. Staff inside were friendly but changing room's were filthy. Nappy bins were majorly overflowing with general rubbish stacked on top too. Entered pool.... Wife and daughter went to large pool on the big inflatable obstacle course and I took baby to baby pool. Baby pool was the most dirty pool I've taken my children to. Large insect on bottom of pool (as well as plasters and other stuff?) that I told them about but ended up getting insect out myself with their broken net pole. Definitely wouldn't go back to pool. Can't comment on the other facilties there. Getting back to price...... The pools we use at home which have wave machines and slides etc have family tickets between £6 to £10.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Friendly reception staff and usually a very clean facility.
Fantastic experience: Good sport centre went for swim whilst my grandson took swimming lessons can now swim like fish good for long distance swimming has lanes I main pooling do the go ahead lot as out of my area but recommend venue
Positive experience: Needs more seating for spectators in particular at the tank viewing area
Positive experience: Really well equipped gym but hygiene not top of the list
Fantastic experience: Plenty of equipment in the gymGreat range of classesFantastic instructorsReally friendly and helpful staffFamily atmosphere Always clean
Positive experience: We came here to find some time and prices for our baby to come swimming. They didn't seem overly interest and just passed us a leaflet and carried on with there day. Not rude just not overly interested in having a conversation with us. In terms of timings it would be impossible for us to very attend. The timings for the small pool are very minimal, you are lucky if we can go in for an hour a day. I know they have to accommodate everyone but they have a separate small pool that children don't get priority for
Negative experience: Not that impressed I'm afraid
Positive experience: In need of maintenence, particularly in pool viewing area but the pools seemed clean and well maintained. The rest of the building looks a bit more modern and the car parking was very good. Strange size pool that I believe is 33m rather than the standard 25 or 50 so bear that in mind if you are timing lengths.
Positive experience: Good range of activities

Positive experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and swim.
Positive experience: Pool and facilities, in themselves, were good. It was physically possible to get in something regarding a decent swim. I mean, I felt like I'd done some exercise. What isn't good is when the pool timetable isn't adequately clear. In the timetable slot I attended, there was no mention of restricted pool length and the presence of an aquafit session at the end of the pool, with only one full-length lane available. This in itself I don't mind, of course--it's an important session for many people. However, it would have been nice to know this without having to ask the receptionist on-site. The adult session is obviously going to be compelling for those who would prefer a quiet, relaxed session, and when they all have to be shared with aquafit classes, without the patron being informed adequately, it may cause them (me) to lose some faith in the pool's viability. I may have a better time if I attend a public swim at a quiet time. I hope I do. There is actually pool-only membership available, which makes it a much better value proposition than Blaydon Leisure Centre. I may then adjust my review if I have a more enjoyable experience later. For now, though, I'll probably keep looking for other leisure centres to try.
