Clifton Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Lovely place Nice little soft play
Fantastic experience: Excellent local place for stay fit activities with Gym, Sona and salt room as well 25 m swim pool
Negative experience: Not well maintained
Fantastic experience: Use this place regulary. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Parking is normally ok and has electric points
Positive experience: Excellent experience
Negative experience: The manager was very bad and rude, he did not respect our presence, only seven minutes after the party ended, he raised his voice loudly, ordering us to leave the building, he did not speak kindly at all, even when I stopped at the machine to buy juice for my child, he shouted at me loudly, a very disrespectful person, I do not recommend dealing with them anymore, and they were not cooperative at all. There are much better places to celebrate with children in a healthy atmosphere and environment with nice and respectful employees.
Fantastic experience: Decent swimming pool. Good place to host birthday parties.
Fantastic experience: We had a party in the swimming pool and it was amazing! All the children loved it and enjoyed it and the party room was great for the food afterwards! The staff were very helpful!

Positive experience: New look gyn with great facilities for a small cost
Fantastic experience: ‘The Beast’ party for my son and his friends was amazing! The staff were really friendly and helpful and everything was clean. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The gym is spot on, the health suit is good, it has everything for a good session, plus a swimming pool.
Positive experience: One of the best place to exercise and do relax via booking various different classes. Even here they have spa suites. Jacuzzi is missing.
Positive experience: Only use the gym and it's alright I guess
Fantastic experience: Best option for students in Clifton, if you love to swim. Joint the Fitness+ and avail swimming, gym and health suite (sauna). It is £20 per month which is definitely worth it.
Negative experience: Update.. The cleanliness has gotten better over the past couple of months. Wipe your feet on the way out. This place needs a dedicated cleaner. Changing rooms are disgusting. Litterally never get cleaned. The walls and floors are filthy. Someone had a shave in the toilets and their hairs have been on the soap dispenser all week. Toilets are filthy. Broken cigarette paper been on the floor for over a week. Plenty of other debris on the floors for over a week because they never get swept or mopped. The gym equipment never gets cleaned either. I've been a member for years and it's always been the same. Only 1 member of staff ever came in the gym to clear away used tissues and wipes and take away empty bottles of water etc but he left during lock down. Just hire a cleaner already because it is gross.
Negative experience: paid for a swim and the only thing on was a kids pool, gym is dirty and outdated
Positive experience: Not comfortable Changing area, swimming pool is Max 1.5m deep. And stinky from toilets...
Positive experience: Great place for spin
Fantastic experience: Was looking worn and shabby, but all new equipment weight and everything that goes with it
Fantastic experience: Great sports hall
Fantastic experience: Staff are amezing. Had a problem with my car and everyone from reception to the manager were helpful. You really feel at home
Fantastic experience: Went to sauna enjoy
Fantastic experience: I go for a swim and health session 3 times a week to help with my disability, i usually swim for 40mins then use the health facilities e.g himalayan salt room,sauna,steam room and the exhilarating tropical showers, fully recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool for kids
Positive experience: Really nice gym, not too busy and friendly staff on reception
Negative experience: The only people who have been working at reception were very helpful and friendly. Changing rooms and toilets were dirty
Positive experience: The swimming pool etc is good. The gym isn't great, always grubby (especially the machines gathering dust), not enough room to warm up, the free weight area is too small (they don't have a squat rack) and in my personal opinion too many cardio machines. No one there to show how the gym can be used. Other users are very friendly though and staff are nice especially receptionist but there's just never any member of staff in the gym to help. A bit of change with cleanliness, manning on the gym, new equipment and change in layout and this could be a really good gym.
Fantastic experience: Good place for swimming and resting.
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym and awesome people staff are fantastic
Fantastic experience: This is really good place for kids parties. Pool party area and soft play area is good.
Fantastic experience: Great center has pools gym and classes. I go for adult kickboxing boxing on Thursday night at 7:45pm. Highly recommend!! Still go Still great kickboxing
Fantastic experience: Went on a tour for the swimming pool and the gym and there's many different machines, many different times for the pool and it's overall a good vibe for the leisure centre. I'll update once I have a membership there and have gone a few times
Fantastic experience: I have held two children's parties over recent months, one a swimming party and the other with the inflatable beast. So reasonable and fully impressed with the set up of both parties. I’ll definitely look to book again in the future.

Fantastic experience: Could have done with a nice coffee, only vending machines, but the under 2’s loved soft play.
Edited: Thanks for your feedback Berbadette, we can confirm our coffee vending is now back up and running so you can enjoy a coffee :D
Positive experience: Good amount and variety of gym equipment. Nice health suite.lots of classes available. Loved it during the morning when I was free during covid restrictions. Can get busy unfortunately especially after 5 when everyone goes straight from work.
Negative experience: Toilets weren't clean no refreshments on hand for functions cold or hot drinks and snacks
Negative experience: Absolute shambles trying to book slots anywhere on Nottingham city council app or websites they make it impossible only allowing one person to book come out of the stone age and update your systems
Thank you for your feedback Ryan and for taking the time to do so. We are in the process of updating some of our system elements and have make some tweaks to the booking system, please visit the following page for some hints and tips on how to now book for more than 1 person. https://www.activenottingham.com/get-the-most-from-your-active-nottingham-account/ We hope this helps.

Fantastic experience: Attended a swimming party with my daughter whom enjoyed herself very much. As a non-swimmer felt confident enough in the group pool area with armbands and noodle floatie to try swim and she did for a few yards.

Negative experience: Very poor. Took my money and left me a voicemail saying that they had messed up and double booked a badminton court, mentioning that I should call them to speak about getting refunded. Tried calling many times, left voicemails, tried emailing them and still heard nothing. Truely dissapointing.

Fantastic experience: My kids have swimming lessons here and they love it. Changing rooms are 99% of the time clean.
Positive experience: I used to go swimming here a lot when I was younger. The pool is not deep enough at the deep end with it being 1.57m meaning you cannot dive. other than that, I used to like this place a lot.
