Positive experience: Gym facilities are getting ready for a revamp, but overall, it is a decent place to train. Hopefully, all the damage from the vandalism is sorted soon. Appears to be something not being attended to, which would be a shame.

Positive experience: Nice enough, pool is nice n clean but but as good as what southwells was ..! But small and far to warm for serious swimming....also the monotone colour of the lining makes it tricky to see the edges of the pool (I miss the tiles of s'well pool)

Positive experience: Nice place, parking can be a bit mad on invert show days. Not the most disability freindly place I've visited, couldn't find a disabled bay and many long routes and stairs to get to the main hall.

Jules Johnston 2 years ago

Positive experience: Very friendly staff, nice classes and good parking. Good shower and changing facilities too. It was a bit of a walk around to where the classes were and it was dark but that's because they use energy saving - sensored lights.

Michelle Blake 2 years ago

Positive experience: Not as many stalls as I thought would be there but came away with 2 tarantulas I had on my list

Selina Grazia 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: They host insect shows here and they're a great time. The hall can be a little hard to find as there's a long system of corridors to get to it, but there's staff at the entrance to ask if you need it.

Fantastic experience: This place is really very good value. With Great friendly staff ,the facilities are exactly what I need and they are kept very clean . Adequate amounts of equipment both machines and free weights. Its a gym where all are made welcome, jewel in the crown is the new pool and changing facilities. Altogether a brilliant facility, well managed and supported by the staff ,all together a really good experience. We are incredibly lucky to have facilities like this ,especially in a small town like ollerton. I would definitely recommend using this leisure centre, you should give it a try.

Fantastic experience: The new pool is excellent. Warm,clean and always able to book for lane swimming or aquafit. The staff are helpful and friendly. On one occasion I booked the wrong day and the staff member changed the session for me.

Fantastic experience: So I'm going to give this review max stars for some simple reasons. We initially went out with my son looking for a pool with a slide, this hasnt got one and I will advise that. But 1 - the staff here where so great, to the point you can see they want to tell you about it etc (it was quiet when we went), they've not just been told to, it seems they genuinely have pride in it, and why not ... 2 - it was lovely and warm 3 - there isn't JUST a wheelchair entrance into the building, or poolside, but actually a wheelchair lowering mechanism into the pool also! Absolutely brilliant! My son isnt actually in one but we did get; 4 - a carer goes free. I'm not sure on the exact terms but on hearing my son has muscular dystrophy they advised I didn't need to pay as a carer for him. Absolutely brilliant! 3 & 4 would say to me this is the perfect type of place to take someone for a rehab type of session, and for children with disabilities for lessons. That's why it's 5 stars for me

Positive experience: The leisure centre side of the building is well maintained and clean however the school side is not so nice it smells of stale urine and is questionable as to how often it is cleaned. Also the heating is on in summer yet inadequate in winter .
