Fantastic experience: Kids gymnastics facilities are good.

Kelly Sharpe 10 months ago

Positive experience: Came here for my niece 5th birthday party. My sister and I decorated the room whilst all the children were having fun in the soft play. The room was down a long corridor, which was ideal as we had music playing. The only issue was there wasn't a door, so we had to stack chairs in place of the door to stop some attempted escapes.

elisabeth borrelli 10 months ago

Positive experience: Had my grandsons 2nd birthday party there ,it was fun but the only thing was there there was another party going on at the same time so it was a bit chaotic

Darren Evans 10 months ago

Elise Anderson 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Very friendly leisure centre. With great staff who have been so helpful to me and my husband

Juraj Aničić 11 months ago

Negative experience: Swimming pool very often dirty and with cold water, not to mention horrible smells from the changing rooms. Staff shutting down equipment way before closing time, absolutely ridiculous! Not to mention how they are keep reducing the opening times. And be careful when cancelling your membership; I needed to go through the bank to cancel because their management was keep insisting on my renewal!!

Wayne Moreton 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Council One stop shop, l assume situated in the Leisure Centre Complex.Always helpful,even if the Council charge us a pretty penny for the privilege. Friendly helpful staff and always seem efficient.Cant go overboard in my praise, it is the Council after all and us 'old uns' are way down on their priority .The one stop is one ray of sunshine in an ever financially grasping world.

Chris Papadopoulos 11 months ago

Илиян Ангелов 1 year ago

Negative experience: Today i been in Active LifeStyle Centre to join to the gym, but from reception they didn’t let me going in and check the new investment of equipment for 1M pounds. Obviously they want to keep it for them self. Very sad. Never again, this is my first and last time in this central.

Shina Sarwar 1 year ago

Negative experience: Incompetent staff, never seem to have any idea what is going let alone know what classes are running. Ridiculous turned up for a 10am yoga class, only to find the class was cancelled! Disorganised and very poor communication and customer service. I am thinking of leaving for a better gym! Management are even worse rude, you and immature with little to no people skills. Worst managed gym I have attended. Class system is very disorganised.

Chris Rose 1 year ago

Positive experience: It's a good swimming pool haven't tried the gym there yet

Ciara NI Tuathail 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've have been coming to this gym for about a month now and in my time here it has been fantastic. The facilities inside the gym are top tier and the staff members are extremely friendly, kind and helpful. The swimming pool is also a excellent size and heated. The parking facilities are plentiful.

Katie Conlon 1 year ago

Negative experience: The prices of swimming lessons go up and up and the swimming pool changing rooms are gross and never cleaning properly!

Tod Bryant 1 year ago

Negative experience: Sat outside Yate Leisure Centre since 6am (now 6:30) with a crowd of people, including elderly and disabled people, and clearly someone has overslept. Many have given up. Can't remember this as part of my membership

Fantastic experience: Very clean hotel...spotless..your room gets cleaned every morning and safes are provided ...morning buffet really nice along with champagne..not had evening meal there but takeaways close by to hotel..beach literally 3mins away from hotel..

Rory Cockshaw 1 year ago

Negative experience: Nice enough leisure centre and friendly staff. Unfortunately, their direct debit company DFC are absolute horrors to work with. Twice I have used Active Lifestyles leisure centre memberships, one in Yate and one in Longwell Green. Both times have I been chased and harassed for money from DFC for months that I had cancelled for, did not need, and was not even in the vicinity of the centre. Do not sign up with these monsters if you can at all help it. Attend any other gym or pool. DFC have ruined what could be a good chain by their horrendous payment policies and total inability to listen to good sense. If I sound furious, it is because I am. Honestly, just sign up elsewhere. It is not worth it.

Roland Wiltshire 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been using the gym for many years and always found the assistants very helpful

Mark 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great venue and good pricing at £5pp. Tiered seating although very hard seats. Good scoreboards and announcements. Only poor element is the parking at the centre is limited - parking is available nearby but between 3-4 hours so means you have to move the car during the gymnastics competition

David Matthews 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent Facilities, even more helpful staff.

SomeOne SomeWhere 1 year ago

Negative experience: Consistently cold pool at general visiting hours. General cleanliness is not really up to standard all considered. Have made repeated statements with regards to the temperature of the main pool, but nothing is resolved. I appreciate it is managed by software that is preset, but there is not much harm in warming up the pool 0.5-1c for attendance.

Charlotte Mortell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great team, always friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere throughout. We love coming here for soft play, the cafe and family swimming

Mike Portman 1 year ago

Negative experience: Swimstars is a joke, they rarely move up as they can’t pass what’s required because they never actually practise what they need to. It’s just a money machine for the leisure centre. Been in the same class for over a year, Honestly just teach your kids yourself, you’ll teach them quicker and better.

Fantastic experience: Great place to exercise! Lots of clubs, you can host birthday parties here as well. An overall great place

Marie Miles 2 years ago

Negative experience: Really disappointed with the level of friendliness from the reception staff. I was anxious to start swimming after a recent injury and I called to book over the phone, the lady at reception booked a swim session for 20:30pm and told me to come to reception to check in and get directions to the pool. When I arrived the lady at reception told me 4 times that reception had shut and did not want to help me. I understand if reception is closed but she shouldn’t tell me to go there on arrival.

Shannon 2 years ago

Positive experience: Good facility’s, most staff are so friendly and helpful but one member of staff was very unapproachable and and not welcoming. She had attitude and wasn’t a good image for the centre, maybe she was having a bad day but she should stay professional

Yate Leisure Centre

Hi Shannon, Thank you for your review, we will pass this onto the Centre Manager. The Active Team

Mark Downing 2 years ago

Positive experience: A well equipped leisure centre with friendly, helpful staff. There's a pool, café, and a good selection of exercise equipment and courts. Wide range of classes and sessions, including several for older people and those with health conditions or disabilities. Yate Active leisure centre is right next to the shopping centre and you can usually park within a few yards of it .

Gallium Goat 2 years ago

Positive experience: The desk staff for the leisure centre are generally lovely, with the exception of a couple who have made me feel somewhat unwelcome. The café is mediocre at best, their coffee and food offerings are somewhat underwhelming, understanding of course that this is a leisure center cafe. The pool facilities are decent although the floor in the changing rooms is often filthy. The changing rooms are also often dirty and leave you feeling a bit uncomfortable when drying off.

Fantastic experience: A great venue for our small mats bowling group

charlie Cullinan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My children have come on massively since using their swimming lessons. Definitely recommend

Zee H 3 years ago

Negative experience: Appalling standard of service and management! A council run centre that needs serious investment in both staff and standard of services provided. £15 for a 45 minute family swim in the small pool! Absolute rip off! Over a one year wait for children's swimming lessons… come on.. pathetic! People are being paid to manage this and are failing badly.

Positive experience: Good facilities. However the online booking system is awful. If this is monitored by active centres, please sort out the booking.... if you want people to book, you need to make it possible. Booking the family in for a simple swim is impossible.

Helen L (AllThingsBlue) 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Friday Roller Disco at 6.15-7.45pm was fun. Easy to find, free parking. Well run roller disco for kids and adults with skate hire, over 4 badminton courts, plenty of chairs, lockers if needed, nice stewards, a few games and good cheesy disco music. Next to Minor Injuries Unit if it all goes pear-shaped but all the skaters were considerate/well-behaved.
