Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre: Opinions

4/5 (199 Opinions)

Positive experience: This is my absolute favourite as a leisure centre, welcoming, clean, very friendly staff, and what a great cafe with all the smoothies, freshly squeezed juices as well! My only sorrow is the steam room, even after refurbishment the steam levels are so low that it does not make any sense to use it really. First two weeks after refurbishment many people were using it, it was great! Now it is back to a "low setting", empty most of the time, very disappointing. Could you please make it proper again ? Thank you!

The steam room and sauna are fantastic, and the friendly staff, especially those at reception, make you feel welcome every time you walk in.

S A Turner 1 year ago

Negative experience: It's got great things for children but the elderly clients really let it down for me. They act as though the free swim area is for them to lane swim even though there is a designated area for that. So you can't "freely swim" in the "free swim area" without comments made to you or disgusted looks from them, further more they use the only 5 baby changing units that there is, obviously because there is more space. But they're larger because they're for families, NOT just for one selfish human that demands areas to spread out belongings and use the baby change unit for there clothes! In these classes there is atleast 6 to 8 families all with young babies waiting for a cubicle for just one selfish older person that should know better, to come out. It's unfair that people may miss or be late for classes they have paid for. As a result of this I will not be re-booking any classes once I've used this block that I have already payed for. The elderly people going here are rude and it's downright disgusting to expect a baby to sit on a stinking floor where people put there scabby bums and feet, and lord knows what else, all because this older generation want to use a baby change cubicles and extra space for there entitlement. So keep that, no thank you! My baby deserves better. Really unfortunate! Absolute let down of a potential 5 stars for me.

Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre
Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry you feel we are only a 1 star venue. Regarding your comments, the free swim area is not designated for any specific activity. So you can swim as you wish, length, widths, or just relax with your baby. The same with the baby changing cubicles, they are for parents with young children. If this behavior happens again please bring this to the attention of a member of staff and they will speak with the individuals in question. We will also pass on your feedback to the management team. We hope these instances do not put you off visiting again in the future.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic time had at soft play for a birthday party

Pat McNeill 1 year ago

Positive experience: Was taking my 4 yr old grandson to the soft play area. Lots for wee ones to do, clean well laid out play area, with cameras showing where the children are on a large screen. There are tables for adults to sit at while the children play. Drinks and snacks are available in the entrance hall and the playarea has coded door entry so the number of children can be monitored and children cannot wander out. The centre has 2 swimming pools not tried them yet , but they look very clean. Only problem is lack of parking space, tho the mercat centre is close by and charges seem reasonable. Close to promenade and shops in the main street.

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for years. Great leisure centre. Parking not an issue generally if using the facility in the evening but challenging during the day. There are a number of traffic wardens patrol as it's a ticket haven. The council should be looking into over zealous wardens patrolling the one small area instead of the entire town centre area

Beate Rippka 2 years ago

Negative experience: i always liked the kirkcaldy pool but this week i wasn’t impressed at all. i went for a swim the last 4 days and the water quality was very bad . a couple of days ago a lady actually talked to the lifeguard because there was a lot of hair at the deep end of the pool. some got taken out then. when i went back the next day there was clearly no cleaning done. there was all sorts of tiny things flouting through the water. also i have seen hair clips and plasters and far too much hair . when i got changed my body was full of it. couldn’t have a proper shower either because 2 of the 3 cubicles were out of order for a long time now and the 3rd one was busy. changing rooms are not very clean either. i hope someone is having a look into this .

Katie Lowndes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently joined this leisure center as I was looking to get back into the gym. I went in one day and asked about memberships. The staff member was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She explained the different types of memberships and what discounts are available for people that are full-time students, work for certain companies or are on certain benefits. I was able to set up my membership within 10 minutes and was offered an induction for the following day so a staff member could show me around and explain the different machines in the gym. During my induction I was also offered a personal training plan which is free for members and I think this is fantastic. Inside the leisure center there is also a swimming pool, a training pool with a movable floor, a gym, a health suite, a children's play area for small children and an area upstairs for group fitness classes and children's fitness classes. The leisure center is extremely clean, tidy and appears very well looked after. Every visit so far I have seen management walking around and they always say hi and ask how my day is, which I think is lovely to see them so involved within the day-to-day running of the leisure center and the people that use it. The health suite is like a mini holiday and it's secure which means that not anybody can just walk in. In the health suite there is a sauna and a steam room with a waterfall shower in between them. There is also a water fountain outside the sauna so you can refill your water bottle without having to leave the health suite. The changing rooms for the pool are brilliant. The locker system is operated by a £1 coin or a trolley token. There are vending machines around the leisure center which offer cold drinks and snacks. The drinks vending machine can take cash or card but the snack vending machine only takes cash. Overall, this leisure center is fantastic and the staff are lovely, Very knowledgeable and polite.

Hi Anna, sorry you feel Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre is only a 2 star facility. We ask customers if going on the poolside to either wear footwear covers or indoor only shoes or to remove shoes and socks for hygiene reasons. We have several customer notices within the leisure centre asking customers to follow these pool rules. If you see customers not following these rules please report this to a member of staff. Lockers are available to store clothes, bags shoes. We also have buggy storage, if you can't find this ask a member of staff and they will point you in the right direction.

Negative experience: Yet again training pool closed to the public bit open to learn to swim groups apparently technical issues affect only the general public

Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre
Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre

Hi Aileen, sorry you feel Kirkcaldy is only a 2 star leisure facility. We have had issued with the training pool pump, the pool can open temporary but due to the faulty pump it becomes a time-consuming manual process, unfortunately we do not have enough staff to operate this for long periods. That it why you may see the pool open for limited periods of time. We understand this is frustrating we are doing all that we can to make as many pools available to the public as possible but sometimes things such as this are out with our control.

Richard R 3 years ago

Positive experience: Can't comment on the Leisure center, gym or swimming but I can comment on the soft play, which was the purpose of our visit today. Overall the softplay facility is a good little place to bring the kids. There are 4 tables, in what is a very small room by softplay standards, so not much space, no food or drink facilities this is strictly just a short stop for the young ones to burn off some energy so be sure to bring your own drinks and snacks! My only gripe is with the cleanliness, or lack thereof. The room was absolutely filthy! Not only did I have to go find antibacterial spray to clean our table which had a dirty wipe left on it, the table was propped up by a used nappy! There was also food all over the floor. On top of that the actual softplay itself was vile in some places, it 100% needs a deep clean, especially above the exit only sign where the kids come off the slide, which had a huge build up of dust and hair and dirt. It's clear that it hasn't been properly cleaned or maintained in a very very long time!

Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre

Hi Richard, we were sorry to hear about your experience of the soft play at Kirkcaldy. We pride ourselves on our high levels of health and hygiene and this is very disappointing. Please let us assure you that this has been passed to our management team to investigate further.

The new spaces along the Esplanade are also free for the moment although this is subject to change by Fife Council. Boxing equipment is not something we have within our gyms, and is something we feel works best in a boxing specific gym environment. There are a few reasons for this; firstly the floor space required for this is quite large and for this to be installed safely within the gym would mean removing quite a few pieces of existing gym machines or equipment. Another reason for this is the difficulty cleaning the gloves and pads.

Fantastic experience: I've been here a few times now (because the Dundee Olympia is closed). Lovely swimming pool - very good staff.

Positive experience: Facilities are great, but if you're going to get a membership, remember it'll cost you double that per month paying for parking.

Hi Max, thank you for your feedback, sorry you feel we are only a 3 star leisure centre. If you ask at reception they will be able to highlight some free parking options including the free parking from 6pm in the Esplanade Multi Storey. Please note as a Leisure Active member you can also use Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre, in Glenrothes, this does has it's own dedicated parking area.

We have lots of signage around the centres to remind customers about social distancing, sorry you feel this was not followed, if this happens again please bring this to the attention to a member of staff and the will speak with the individuals in question.

Negative experience: It's unacceptable to have a senior flex class on in a hall with no ac at the least their should be fans on if anyone felt bad with the heat questions would be asked why no fans on. Please do something before before something happens
