Diss Leisure Centre is a highly regarded facility located in Diss, United Kingdom, offering a range of activities and amenities for fitness enthusiasts and families alike. The centre features a great swimming pool, sauna, and steam room, ensuring a relaxing experience for all visitors.

Key highlights include:

  • High cleanliness standards: Users have consistently praised the cleanliness of the swimming pool, changing rooms, and general facilities.
  • Friendly staff: Many visitors appreciate the helpful and approachable staff, enhancing the overall experience.

  • Good facilities: While the gym space is described as compact, it is well equipped for basic workouts.

Negative experience: Repete not been there?

Elle Wiseman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great range of activities, plus a gym and sauna and steam room, all under one roof. Soon to close for refurbishment and will be sorely missed by regular users.

Tony Callender 1 year ago

Positive experience: Perfectly adequate facilities, but closing from 12th Feb until December due to "renovation". Removing gym, sauna and steam room despite regular usage and with NO consultation with the user community at large. Very sad for many of us.

Fantastic experience: Diss Leisure Centre is a fantastic place to unwind. The spacious pool provides a relaxing experience, and the steam room and sauna add to the overall relaxation. The gym, while compact, is efficiently equipped for a good workout. One notable aspect is the excellent cleanliness throughout the facility, which enhances the overall experience. The staff is consistently present and incredibly helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable visit.

Mel Hurst 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, always lovely and clean, staff are friendly. Accessible hours for using the pool, and it’s never ‘too’ busy. The sauna and steam room as always kept clean too, as well as the changing rooms. The gym isn’t the biggest, but so far I haven’t struggled to find space on any of the equipment. I’ve visited both early morning and late evening and there is always room to use what you would like. Occasionally we’ve had to wait long periods of time to speak to a member of staff at the front desk (usually when having difficulty using the access fob), but it’s usually because staff are busy helping elsewhere, rather than neglecting duties etc. Overall lovely and friendly, would recommend.

Holly Hale 2 years ago

Positive experience: We use the pool here occasionally. It's not the best. I checked online to makesure the pool was open and turned up with my daughter to find out they had in fact had to shut the pool due to staff shortages. I emailed the night before to double check you didn't have to pre book and that email was answered a few days later. Unfortunately it seems lacking in organisation at the moment. Probably better if you're taking a little one in the learner pool or just lane swimming.

Isabelle Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Swim here at least 3 times a week and the pool and changing rooms are clean. Staff are constantly cleaning the shower areas and are really nice. Pool is a good size and very deep at one end.

Steph Collins 3 years ago

Negative experience: Clean pool, friendly staff, good facilities. Enjoy going for a swim here. Editing my review to say that for some strange reason they have decided to get rid of the gym, sauna and steam room as part of the refurbishment… bit weird if you ask me. Won’t be going now. Shame because it was a decent centre and close by.

Negative experience: Learner pool was cold and changing rooms were freezing. My poor 6 month old baby had purple feet when we got out after 30 mins. Covid regulations were managed well but staff were rather rude.

Jules&Joe Bannister 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I Love the new (Covid Restricted) gym sessions. You have to book your slot, which guarantees you'll not get a crowded session where everyone is always on the kit you want to use. Its quiet and organised, and everyone is actually cleaning up after themselves after each session. Im Love it!!

John Bennett 5 years ago

Positive experience: It's OK for the kids swimming on a Saturday to get them out but not a great choice of adult facilities, lots of money was spent at Long Stratton & Wymondham leisure centres but what was done at diss ? A new reception area !,,,,,,,, great for us here

Ellie terry 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely small gym!

L Fd 6 years ago

Negative experience: Just got back from a swimming session where I was told to leave pool 5mins early so they could set up for aquafit. Staff are great and friendly but all prices are too expensive for size and facilities. Gym is small and basic so fine if no more than about five other people in. Swimming pool has too few public swims - lucky to get an hour at a convenient time yet they charge a monthly fee higher than most private gyms where facilities are so much better. They can do this as they have a monopoly as there is no other pool within 20 miles. They say use long Stratton and wymondham aswell but they are 10 and 20 miles away and you have to pay extra!. It's meant to be a council run centre accessible for all and prices should reflect this.
