Fantastic experience: Fabulous old swimming baths and very clean

Sep Shirazi Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Swimming pool's water wasn't clean and because the area around the pool and changing room is very dirty and wet and nobody was cleaning there. The lifeguard was outside by the pool with her shoes on!!! This was an awful expereience. I never go back there.

We're disappointed to hear the cleanliness didn’t meet your expectations during your recent visit. Cleanliness is a priority for us, and we’re already working on this. Thank you for bringing it to our attention so we can make improvements. We also understand your concern at leisure attendants wearing shoes, this is standard practice to ensure they have the best grip on wet surfaces, helping them to respond quickly and safely when they are needed in emergencies. We hope you’ll give us another chance and notice the improvements next time you visit.

Phill Nice Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Scotland's oldest pool I believe but beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean and with the nicest, most welcoming and helpful staff I have ever met in a leisure centre. I found the water perfect and loved swimming at North Woodside during my stay in Scotland. Phil Essex ASA President 2023

DD Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: wee club with an excellent pool! temperature is perfect You'd often expect some pool clubs with wet and muddy floors. This is not the case for this club! Their app is also handy as you can book your sched 1 week ahead of time. I just hope that they will have more days with 19:30 sched. Looking forward to swim here again soon

marcus Bhoy Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Love the pool and it's never too busy.

Ann Kelly Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely friendly staff. Great facilities.

Helen B. Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Lovely swimming pool with a decent depth - 1.5 metres, so up to my chin at the deep end - set in a bright skylit room with some original Victorian features. A great shame the whirlpool and health suites are still closed as they were a great part of the experience, but the pool itself is definitely onevofbthe nicer ones to visit particularly in quieter hours. Spacious dance hall for yoga and fitness classes. Gym very small and basic and feels quite crowded duento lack of windows, not the nicest but it's there and functional. All vending machines in rest area empty. I'd recommend Maryhill Glasgow Club instead for general gym use.

May Myat Thu Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean pool. Good hygiene around facilities and really nice staff!

Niki McCrossan Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I take my mum to the aqua aerobics here a couple of times a week and she enjoys it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the pool is small and the lanes can get a little crowded when the aqua classes are on but when the classes finish the pool opens up again and people have more space to swim. It's a smallish pool but it's a great wee club

Michael Conlon Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Arrived by taxi from town to find out we should have booked. Staff were so nice and friendly and our two 14yr old girls waited 5mins and were allowed in. Sat in the wee waiting area, a member of staff told us coffe/tea machine was off but went out his way and made my wife a cup of coffee. 5 star service, many thanks!!

David A Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took my son here to swim for the first time not long ago and the staff were great. They helped show me where we needed to go to get ready, talked about places near by that had other kids facilities and just generally made us feel very welcome. The pool and facility are clean and the main pool has an amazing Victorian canopy. I would recommend.

D Rob Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: A lovely old Victorian building and both the pool and changing areas are really clean. The pool is a bit small and at certain times it can get busy, so if you want a proper swim then make sure to book for lane swimming.

Basil Brush Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: The oldest swimming pool in the UK apparently. Only downside is having to get changed upstairs with the pool being downstairs but it serves its purpose and is relatively clean. 9/10.

Sonia Duarte Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic renovated pool, felt lovely being in such a beautiful place. The pool itself is relatively shallow so great for people less confident in the water

Nathan Armstrong Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Interested in the look of the place

Georgi Petrov Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great sports centre! It is very close and all the people working there are just very kind and great. The gym is nice and there is a good variety of equipment. The swimming pool is great and by the looks of it, quite popular also. I have attended a few spots classes and I can definitely say that the sessions were great. Visiting the centre a few times a week so I am very happy with it! Recommended!

Fergus Glen-lee Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good pool, busy most nights.

Gaba Bielecka Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: I pop in 3 times in one week and every time staff told me that I can't go swimming, because of sth. Some hair dryers are broken since May and there is no improvements. People eats stinky sandwiches in the sauna what is really annoying. I like zumba and body balance classes - really nice teacher :)

Noreen Akhtar Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Members of staff very kind and caring thank you so much! The pool is beautiful and very big Also the hot tub. The equipment is really useful to some people if they can’t swim. Thank you

Gayathri Manikantan Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: I am so disappointed that they have reduced the family swim to an hour

Daya Shankar Verma Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: Not good at all.... arrogant staff. They advertised free family swimming for two hours but not even allowing to be in the pool for one full hour. Staff not behaving nicely with families and kids.

Nicole Stirling Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: Attention: For the last 5 days, the pool area has not been cleaned as of black residue left around the pool tiles. The same with the showers, there is clumps of hair everywhere. The place could be doing with a good scrub from top to bottom, instead of staff just standing about talking. Very poor.

Karen Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff .

Emilio Giacometti Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: Every morning..my favourite training.. just little bit disappointed with the man closing time for Tuesday afternoon. Kind of discrimination of mans that I don't like. Apparently God create man and woman..for stay together..maybe they know a different story..

Amit kumar Jain Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very good. Staff is very friendly

M K Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: A very small gym. Has a swimming pool, no drinking water in the swimming area, a bit dirty i have to say.

cher duffield Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beatiful refurbished Victorian pool kept spotlessly clean by a lovely, dedicated staff. This place and the staff stand head and shoulders above other Glasgow club facilities.

Esther McMillan Published on Google 7 years ago

Negative experience: The zumba class i went to was rather boring. Could not see clearly and there was very little to help people see the moves. I wouldn't recommend and am unlikely to go back. There was also nowhere to wait before the class other than on the stairs.

Christian Ogbodo Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: I enjoy seeming here nice place and gòod management

Hadrians Brawl Published on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: Nice place for a swim. Can be busy at times with kids but no more than any other public pool! Health suite not as up to date as it could be but functional and clean

danny mabhurukwa Published on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: Great staff and service

Ian Thomson Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have got a very good gym

K W Published on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: Standard local authority leisure centre. Been coming for many years. They have a gym and various exercise classes but I only come for the pool. The pool can be be very busy, especially full of kids. A third of the pool is usually segregated for serious swimmers but can feel chocked up. Changing rooms could benefit from a refurb.

Margaret Dyer Published on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: There is green mould growing on the bottom of this pool. Filthy

Kevin Dorr Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good place nice wee swimming pool.

Michael Cartwright Published on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: It's OK for a council gym however when using the pool I find it's not really the cleanest of pools out there especially the lockers. The gym is very small but it is functional. I would say it's not for the die hard gym goers but ok for most. It also caters to lady's only sessions in the pool if that's your kind of thing.

Graham Hannah Published on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: Good pool if a bit busy with kids, no real space to swim. Changing rooms are filthy tho, I go weekly at least and it appears they have not been cleaned in around a week or more.

Peter Griffiths Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice wee gym, with emphasis on wee. Lovely pool but one for the swimmers, no real room for those who are there to play or chat.

Naz Parveen Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Swiming is so good only womens day

Jim Brown Published on Google 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's okay

James Brown Published on Google 8 years ago

Adam Gill Published on Google 8 years ago

Positive experience: Nice, intimate pool with a decent gym and some classes run.

Jamie Clasper Published on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: Absolute joke of a place! Changing rooms are filthy and the staffs attitude towards customers is a ridiculous.

Дело в кепке Published on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: Dirty place. The staff's behaviour was antisocial.

Sherni Published on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great for ladies only options

James Kelly Published on Google 9 years ago

Positive experience: Very budget centre. Hot tub is ancient and very small. Small pool, you need to go upstairs to get to the rest of the health suite so if you're not careful then you will fall.

Z A QAZI Published on Google 9 years ago

Positive experience: Nice place for living.

Kevin Brydon Published on Google 9 years ago

Positive experience: Gym is small but quiet. No queueing for equipment! Pool is also small but nice.
