The Activity Zone: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Enjoying the lane swimming on a Monday evening. Conquering the pool, one lap at a time. A Monday night well spent: warm water, happy swimmers, and working facilities.
Positive experience: We're very lucky to have a public pool in Malmesbury, especially with ample and free parking. The baby swimming lessons are great and the staff are lovely and helpful. I love the timber arched construction - a nice change from the usual leisure centre infrastructure. The only downside is the changing and shower area which is dirty, often smells of urine and could do with a comprehensive overhaul. It really lets the whole place down.
Positive experience: Great place for swimming lessons and other kids activities like gymnastics. Vending machine available for food and drink. Changing rooms in the pool side are a bit dirty and run down and the viewing area to watch kids lessons is cramped.

Positive experience: Covid secure swimming that is not over crowded and catering for all speeds., easy to book, easy to log in. Just turn up, book in, jump in the pool and away you go.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional facilities
Positive experience: We take our 11mo baby for the family swim on the weekend. They have a nice selection of toys for the kids but the water could do with being warmer.
Positive experience: Good classes. Reasonable prices
Positive experience: Friendly, helpful, efficient staff who know their stuff. Swim (swimtag available) and take classes (Les Mills body balance and Pilates) here often so membership is really good value for money for me. Can be tricky to get onto popular classes even with a membership hence 4 stars not 5.
Fantastic experience: Loved it. Amazing gym including Rowing, punching bag, treadmill and many others. I haven't been to the pool, as I am typically hate swimming.
Positive experience: Friendly staff. Played Badminton and the net was already setup. Only minor annoyance were the wiggly worms on one side of the court, which had obviously made their way in from outside, after a wet night :) Plenty of FREE parking spots. Something odd. I booked 1 court for Badminton online, where it said there were 4 courts available. No idea where the other 3 nets would have been placed, as there were a couple of bouncy castles occupying the other half of the sport hall. We will come back, even if from Chippenham.
Positive experience: I use this for the weekly oap mobility and balance class.
Fantastic experience: Nice but cramped when busy
Positive experience: Nice friendly staff, needs more air con
Negative experience: Machines are regularly out of order in the undersized and under equipped gym
Fantastic experience: The staff are all so friendly. It's great during normal times but it's so impressive how they have kept things going with the covid restrictions in place. Wide range of activities offered and plenty of times to choose from.
Fantastic experience: It's a great place. Friendly staff, good gym and tonight's Aquafit class was good fun as usual.
Positive experience: Good experience every time; friendly staff, good facilities including pool and gym.

Positive experience: Great place, great service.
Fantastic experience: Staff are very friendly and nice. The gym equipment is great. The pool is a bit cold haha but otherwise good. It is adjustable for the height as well. There are classes which u can go to throughout the day and are thoroughly enjoyable. Would defo recommend spinning class
Fantastic experience: Small but very friendly staff very welcoming would recommend I go to the aqua class very good i am less able then most but feel comfortable going at my pace
Negative experience: Did an RPM (spinning) class with friends. For some reason, done in the dark?
Positive experience: It was good. The only problem is that it is usually packed all of the time. The swimming disco's are great to go to my and BFF since year 2 (we are now in year 6) go there most of the time is we have time.
Positive experience: Pretty amateur facilities, takes months to fix anything broken. Seems after the council took over everything has slowed down. Only one or two staff seem to enjoy working there.
Positive experience: Good facilities and makes for a great work out! ️️♀️
Positive experience: 7 hours after my swim and still waiting for the swimtag to be docked - regularly super slow finding out swim times. The AZ is a nice place with good facilities and friendly staff but let's sort out the swimtags!
Negative experience: I fundamentally disagree with the fact that places leisure make it very easy to take a membership out and make it harder to cancel one. Having spoken to the General Manager, I get the vibe that they're an organisation that is very much profit oriented and not so bothered with their customers. I think staff should be better trained to make people aware of the cancellation policies. They very much look out for their own self interests!
Positive experience: Find it a little cramped in the gym section when I go, limited machinery to use.
Positive experience: Multiple activities to participate in, nice place.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly staff, a great local sports centre
Positive experience: Water temperature was nice for once! Could you tell me what it was and will it continue? Thank you.
Positive experience: Great family swimming session on a SAT morning. Not too busy.
Positive experience: Nice leisure centre - a wide variety of classes however the gym is fairly small but still usable
Fantastic experience: Plenty of parking , welcoming staff, lots of sports on offer including TAGB TAEKWONDO, and shower gel dispenser in the shower should you run out or forget yours
Positive experience: Good space, clean and good facilities
Glad you enjoyed your visit to our centre.
Positive experience: Generally clean well cared for except for the girls swimming changing rooms so I was told by my wife!
Fantastic experience: Excellent place for the whole family
Great you enjoyed your visit - please come again soon.
Positive experience: They offer a good selection of activities but the administration is absolutely rubbish. Don't call when classes are cancelled and if you enquire about something you never get an answer.
Fantastic experience: Good facilities, good price
Thanks for your review Sean - glad you enjoyed your visit.
Positive experience: Lovely clean centre, friendly staff. We go for taekwondo but have used the pool and watched squash and spin classes
Positive experience: Excellent pool during family swim times, however, the changing rooms let it down. Very few rooms available with baby changing facilities, and even less with chairs thar you can strap little ones into. Makes it very difficult to take young ones there.
Positive experience: Good facilities and friendly staff
Negative experience: Be on time
Fantastic experience: Great pool
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility a short walk from the center of town. Very helpful staff.
Fantastic experience: Amazing little local leisure centre with great facilities. The staff are all wonderful and give a very warm welcoming feel. Would recommend to anyone!
Positive experience: Well run leisure centre with a nice pool
Fantastic experience: Excellent pool, friendly staff and PAYG
Positive experience: New member but so far a good range of facilities and classes. Well priced membership package. Some refurb taking place particularly the hall floors, hoping the changing rooms are part of the programme as they are the only things letting my score down!
Positive experience: Good gym If a little small the pool is ok for what it is, lots of sporting facilities including squish
Positive experience: Not very clean. Stinks
Positive experience: Good place to learn to swim.
Fantastic experience: Great place to get fit. Staff are always pleasant and helpful.
Positive experience: Nice... I m joining this zone
Fantastic experience: Great service and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: It's a clean and modern centre. The pool/gym have late and early opening times which is great for people who work 9-5
Fantastic experience: Good staff and facilities
Positive experience: Nice pool, good gym space, good local sports facility
Positive experience: Clean bright and easily accessible.
Negative experience: Not sure on their pricing. 45mins is same price as 1hr for a badminton court. Plus you lose first 10 mins waiting to get net setup, so really 1hr price is same as 35mins.
Positive experience: Great small leisure centre
Positive experience: Good gym with friendly staff and other facilities such a squash court
Fantastic experience: My kids love the swimming lessons here other than that it's a good local sports facility
Negative experience: I am very disappointed with the services at the activity zone. I rang countless amount of times to enquire about a life guard course they were holding there and was told they'd get back to me, I rang up a further two times as i hadnt heard back within 2 weeks to get the same answer, a week later and I still haven't heard back from them, very disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Local leisure centre
Fantastic experience: Excellent clean facilities
Positive experience: Took my 3 year old daughter to the pool here. It's a bit on the cool side in the water but the fact that they can raise the pool floor to 30-50cm in depth makes paddling about a blast for her. To get that extra star, they'd need to make it a lot warmer in there.
