The center is praised for its friendly staff and clean swimming pool. Many users appreciate the good atmosphere and welcoming environment, making it a great place for families and individuals alike.

However, some areas need improvement:
- A few users have noted concerns about cleanliness in certain areas, including the changing rooms.

Oulder Hill Leisure Complex: Opinions
Negative experience: This gymnasium discriminates disabled people with needs. My son suffers autism and the staff never acknowledge his needs no matter how serious his disability is. The swimming pool is dirty with dirt or debris floating around. Wont be renewing my membership any more. Absolutely ridiculous behaviour from the staff.
Negative experience: Booked the badminton court Sunday 3pm on 6th September after we finish the staff was extremely rude at the court shouting very unprofessional.The lady staff hade no manners and how to speak to the peopel booking the court was really surprised at her rude behaviour..Not happy with a40 plus staff acting very unprofessional arguing..
Positive experience: Had to remember the route to the sports hall. Next time could do with a map :)
Negative experience: Took nephew swimming no opening times was 11.15am two men on reception didn't say a thing let me in. About to get in pool only to be told shut in 15 minutes should told you on reception pair of them were ignorant didn't offer me refund or any type compensation on way out

Negative experience: Almost impossible to get in the swimming pool due to various classes.

Hi Dan, Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to address a couple of the issues you've mentioned. Our pool has a busy programme which we are very proud of all the different activities we are able to accommodate for a range of different people from our local community. Having said this, we take great care to ensure a balanced programme between adult swimming, family swimming, swimming lessons and aquatic development e.g. coaching etc. We have noticed as the gym is busier, and we've returned all the loose studio equipment we removed during covid restrictions that equipment is being left around and customers are not putting equipment back. We are aware of this problem and working on ways to improve this. We share a location site with two high schools. There are a number of spaces directly around the centre which do get busy, but we benefit from a large 200 space carpark at the front of site which everyone is free to use. We are a small team who all work hard to deliver the best service possible to our members. We’ll take your feedback on board for consideration into improvements. Kind regards, OHLC Management team
Fantastic experience: Lovely place
Fantastic experience: Decent
Positive experience: Phone up before we went for swim times for Sunday 10 till 11-15 swim time for adult and children , got there only to find you could only pay in cash unless youve got exact money £7 - 40 or by credit card which is abit strange because the price would give you change and when we got in the little pool was closed also the no on wrist band had worn away could do with the number stamped on the key as you spend time looking for your locker with chilly child , could do with telling ppl its exact cash only . Really nice warm showers which is good..
Hi Barrie, Thank you for your feedback. We had run out of change on the day you came. Normally we have sufficient change for customers. We’ve also refurbished the locks and wrist bands in the pool changing area recently. Kind regards, OHLC Management team
Positive experience: Really good leisure centre but it could do with a upgrade in the gym
Fantastic experience: Good place and staff are always polite and helpful we use it regularly for our club
Hello, Thank you for your lovely feedback :-) Kind regards, OHLC Management team
Positive experience: Nice pool and friendly staff, quite expensive for what it is but wouldn't stop me from going again.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, fabulous swimming pool and zumba classes!
Fantastic experience: Started using the pool after lockdown. Go 3 times a week. Friendly staff. Booking system a little bit difficult to understand at first.
Fantastic experience: Excellent indoor badminton courts
Positive experience: Very good.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym, pool, sauna & steam room. Attended today after lock down. Best managed example of social distance & hygiene I've seen other than hospital wards.
Thank you for your comments Jake - it was great to be back today, even under such strange circumstances.
Positive experience: Good place to unwind and enjoy some time with some friends on the badminton court. The service from is ok but can be a bit late in setting up the nets. This can sometimes eat up approximately 5 mins of our allocated time
Positive experience: It's good to take young kids. Changing rooms are communal and need a little update. The water is lovely and warm.
Fantastic experience: Good clean facilities. Very pleasant friendly helpful staff. Always an enjoyable experience
Positive experience: Gym is quite good small but space is used really well staff are polite and attentive, pool is good and quite warm aswell, the only let down for me is the changing rooms, there are none big enough for us to share as a family with very young children and they could do with a scrubb other than that it's a great place.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Wished I lived nearer so I could make this my regular gym. A well-thought out space with large pool, sauna and steamroom as well.
Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool and amenities and the staff are always welcoming and friendly and the pool is not overly chlorinated which is always a plus for myself as I can't stand the smell
Positive experience: Its ok, staff are very young
Hi James, sorry you found us only 'OK'. If you could let us know how we could improve on this it would be very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great place to swim, pools are warmer than the main swimming centre and not as busy
Fantastic experience: I joined this gym in August following a knee replacement operation. The staff are very helpful and friendly, so pleased I have joined it never too busy. And right on my doorstep
Positive experience: Basic gym but has what you need. I'm never able to swim due to swimming classes and clubs which is disappointing. Not always the cleanest. Air con breaks on a regular basis. Quiet in the gym when I go. Pleasant environment.
Fantastic experience: Good gym, decent equipment and not too busy
Negative experience: We found it strange that there was no space available at the pool since only 30 people are allowed to swim at a time. We returned after over an hour, and the pool was still not accessible. There is no indication of a person limit on their website, the only information provided is "public swim," so it's impossible to check availability. I do not recommend this place.
Positive experience: Has everything you need

Positive experience: Swimming pool is good, with inflatables in there at times. The astroturf is old and has been covered in way too much sand. There's a big car park due to this being at the high school.
