Our comment from FitFit UK about Oulder Hill Leisure Complex:

Oulder Hill Leisure Complex, located in Rochdale, United Kingdom, offers a variety of recreational facilities that cater to the local community. 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.

Highlights of the facility include:

  • Excellent swimming pool that is well-maintained and often described as warm, making it suitable for children.
  • Good accessibility for wheelchair users, with positive feedback about the staff's helpfulness.
  • A range of classes and activities, contributing to a vibrant community hub.
  • A large parking area available for convenience.

However, some areas need improvement:

  • A few users have noted concerns about cleanliness in certain areas, including the changing rooms.
  • Feedback suggests that the badminton courts could benefit from better maintenance, as well as the gym which is seen as somewhat basic.
  • There are comments about the need for clearer communication regarding facility availability, particularly concerning the swimming pool access during busy times.
  • Some customers experienced unprofessional behavior from staff on occasion, which detracted from their visits.

Despite these critiques, Oulder Hill Leisure Complex remains a valuable asset to the community, offering a range of sports and leisure options, combined with excellent service from dedicated staff.

Oulder Hill Leisure Complex: Opinions

4.1/5 (90 Opinions)
Amair Khan 10 months ago

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.

Fantastic experience: Just want to thank the staff tonight for their understanding, unfortunately a young boy I take swimming on a Wed had a Siezure resulting in him having an accident when getting him out of the small pool, they just got on & cleaned the area & changing room. Unfortunately the Pool to had to be closed for obvious reasons sorry for the inconvenience it has caused.

saleem khalid 2 years ago

Positive experience: It's good but it can improve by providing some basic utilities, such as shower soap in the holders which already installed in showers, basic repair work wooden planks are loose in the sauna. Could play some motivational videos for exercise as the TV screens are already in installed.

Samantha Lloyd 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Recently joined both gym and swimming ended up using the pool more, this is through preference! The timetable is online and update regular so you can plan your swim! Lots of adult only swims in the evening but more often have a Lane set up during public swims! Clean facilities! Staff are very helpful when needed! The public changing rooms are unisex but members ones are separate men and womens with sauna and steam room!

Dan Hayes 3 years ago

Negative experience: Almost impossible to get in the swimming pool due to various classes. Gym very well maintained during COVID restrictions but standards slipped afterwards - equipment left everywhere. Parking again almost impossible during peak times due to school using the car park as an overflow.

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

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: 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.

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.

jukejmen uk 7 years ago

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.
