Wellsprings Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Was here for B1 Taunton churches together. Good venue but gets congested when you put 900 people through the reception area.
Fantastic experience: Great venue really enjoyed Jimmy Carr which was hosted here. Clean spacious and a cheap bar to go with it.
Fantastic experience: Nice leisure centre. Events are sometimes held here too.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym been going for 13 weeks, 3 times a week. First time ever going to anything like the gym before. And I am really liking it. I have lost weight. Everyone is great.
Fantastic experience: I book every Monday 19.45 and Friday 18.00 Pilates with Hannah. I feel she is the best, ex balerina, very very god warm up, 10 min, and I never had back pain after the session with her. Highly recommended for stretching, body posture, any other tipe of pain or core muscle. Just try ones and you will become addictive.
Positive experience: Went to brick festival
Fantastic experience: I visit Taunton often and actually prefer coming here to my primary Everyone Active gym where I live. The weights area downstairs seems to be relatively empty weekdays around 7am. Staff are friendly and equipment is in good working order. Gym always seems clean. Love that they have a 'Member of the month's scheme too.
Positive experience: The gym is ok and fairly priced relative to other options in the local area. Ceiling above the rack is low meaning overhead press isn't doable if you are tall. Small space due to plenty of machines Big cardio area Punching bag sucks Friendly staff
Positive experience: Nice leisure centre very welcoming. Just needs a bit more parking for cars, or assistants to help thoes who can not. Lots of people taking up two spaces. But over all an enjoyable experience
Negative experience: Receptionist woman is a bit of a see you next Tuesday. Thinks she owns the place.
Positive experience: Lovely large venue For was very expensive and not hot
Fantastic experience: Had a great time at Paul's boot fair and bought a few bargins
Fantastic experience: Good gym and facilities
Positive experience: Went here for a Christian Carol concert n although I couldn't get a sense entirely of the place, what I did experience was very decent and it coped well with the large crowd that turned up for this event
Negative experience: The gym equipment is fantastic. Sadly, this is overshadowed by the members leaving the equipment soaked in sweat and using the machines as a seat so they can have a 45-minute chat.
Positive experience: Nice place, clean & friendly.
Fantastic experience: Clean, tidy, friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more
Positive experience: A non profit organization, organizes various sports activities and all , check it out for more details
Fantastic experience: Went to car boot very packed indeed
Fantastic experience: good gym
Fantastic experience: A great place to have an indoor carboot sale
Positive experience: Friendly staff, always on hand to answer any questions. Gym itself was pretty basic. Clean and tidy.
Fantastic experience: Very good venue BUT could do with much needed seating areas outside.
Fantastic experience: Nice place with plenty of equipment, good cafe with very tasty food and drinks. Toilets and changing areas are clean but as per most leisure centres, starting to show its age with broken toilet seats.
Fantastic experience: A nice quiet place for my nervous collie too play
Positive experience: Nice venue for events, pretty easy to find, relatively ample parking and it seems the actual leisure centre is outfitted rather well. There is also the escooter bay outside (not that I've used it because im not local however if you are this could also be of use)
Positive experience: Very quiet leisure centre but good for what I was there for
Positive experience: Good gym and friendly staff.
Positive experience: Great venue (for the dance comp we were attending) and, considering it was a Sunday, the little cafe was an absolute life saver. Great coffee and a selection of hot pies, sausage rolls and chilled drinks. Ideal.
Positive experience: Clean, spacious - good venue for the South Western Invertebrate Show Leisure centre staff were polite and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Nice space for conventions and events. Lots of area to use and has a little cafe for food and drink. It has no on-site bank machine so if you need cash for an event or something similar. It is best to get it before you arrive.
Fantastic experience: I have used these facilities a few times over the years and the facilities here are good. The centre is very accessible for wheelchair users and there is plenty of parking. The facilities on offer are good and the staff are helpful. This centre can be difficult for some to find due to how close it is to the Taunton Academy (you need to drive around the side of and behind the academy to reach the leisure centre). Otherwise, it's a good leisure centre
Fantastic experience: Great staff friendly and helpful and well equipped leisure centre
Fantastic experience: Great Wiveliscombe show. Pastoral judge was excellent. One of the best. Certainly would be there again if they were judging.
Fantastic experience: I was a member here for a while when I was living in taunton and LOVED it. I had to leave due to moving to Cannington and it was just too far to travel everyday. I’ve recently joined pure gym and it’s truly made me realise how good I had it at wellsprings. I’d pay good money to have you guys down the road from me again,
Positive experience: I get a discount which makes the gym good value. It is very functional and the staff generally help where they can. I would say some of the cardio machines are getting a little tired, otherwise it's all ok.
Negative experience: The food at the boxing event was absolutely revolting . The food provided for the athletes that put on the show was not fit for human consumption processed sausages out of a jar on stale bread . The people that make money from the people getting in the ring should be ashamed. An arrogant man who only cares about selling over priced drinks
Positive experience: Came here to watch a wrestling show. It started late but was otherwise a fun watch. Didn't get to see much else of the building, but the place looked well equipped.
Positive experience: Went to a wellbeing fair there and it was very quiet.It did not have a very high catchment area to achieve a good footfall.
Positive experience: Nice
Positive experience: The best venue in Taunton.
Negative experience: Having discovered that the venue is hosting an event for the Taunton Vale Foxhounds I no longer feel able to visit.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant went to Family hour Roller Disco last night lovley organisers, friendly had a blast, great music, clean tidy awesome fun!!
Negative experience: We went here to see Milton Jones. He was great but the venue was dreadful. It turned out to be a very badly converted sports hall. We had booked good seats to duscover it was a free for all apart from the first 2 rows front middle and next 2 rows which were set well back and very stretched out. Behind these rows everyone was told to just find a seat. A lit of very unhapoy people. At the bar we were chatged £5.50 for a bottle of warm beer which included £1 returnable deposit on the plastic pot which delayed departure to collect it. The experience was further spoilt by a bloke shouting out during the warm up act. A woman who we assumed was security did warn him twice and he shut up but left soon after this. Secondly there was a woman at the very front who was so drunk she didn't know what she was doing. She too was shouting out during both acts. Towards the end of Milton Jones she started wandering about and came and sat near us chatting away to herself. She then left and was allowed back in and went up to Milton and grabbed his hand and would not let go despite him asking her to sit down. There did not appear to be any security to deal with her. She then left the sports hall/auditorium. As we were leaving the building we did see some kind of security trying to get her on her out if the building. Would i go and see Milton Jones again? Definitely! Would i go and see anything at Wellsprings again? NEVER!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable team
Positive experience: Been using the gym for a couple of months now. I found it reasonably well equipped for the size of the gym and the staff are always friendly. I would make it a 5 star review if they had a calf raise machine, a hack squat and a lying leg curl. However there are alternatives so I can still get a good workout in.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant facilities, clean and hygienic
Positive experience: Great place to work out Lovely friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Lots of exercise equipment. Very friendly staff and the most important monthly membership price is amazing.
Fantastic experience: Its gym was good
Fantastic experience: I visited this leisure centre for an "Evening with John McGuiness and Dean Harrison" two Isle of Man TT winner's, and it was a perfect location, with a large car park, couldn't ask for more.
Fantastic experience: Went to the bikes and banter night get show food and drinks and well organised loved it 10/10 looking forward to some more shows there
Negative experience: Please note this gym operates a strict gender discrimination policy 8n that girls 8 and under must be taken to the men's toilets for some reason.
Positive experience: Decent sized centre with good facilities Hosted a dance competition & it went well
Positive experience:
Fantastic experience: Nice enough leisure centre, big hall was being used for a fantastic invertebrate fair, lots to see and learn
Negative experience: In terms of the gym not so bad for the space they have available. In terms of everything else you’ve basically walked past the reception as you enter the building the changing rooms look like they date back to the 70s and I was poorly spoken to by a member of staff who was rude and arrogant. So they are also clearly having some staffing issues. No customer service whatsoever I’m just poor simple life skills from members of staff.
Positive experience: Poorly signposted, but a nice clean leisure centre with good parking.
Positive experience: We need more mirrors. Give us mirrors!
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed my class
Fantastic experience: Haven't been to the gym for over a year so was glad to get back. I had a session with Debby, one of the instructors. Everything is well organised so entrance and exit are separate. I wait until Monday when the legislation changes to see what will happen. Trying to go as often as possible to fit in with work commitments. Still well organised due to corona virus. Starting to feel the benefits of a good work program put together by Debby.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, good gym and good range for activities.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, good variety of classes and easy to use app
Fantastic experience: Congratulations to all the wellsprings team for such a great job at getting the gym reopened. It’s very well organised, complete with a one way system and runs very smoothly. From the moment you walk in you’re met with a friendly smile and put at ease by their calm approach and attention to detail. All the new system is explained and what a difference it makes to be able to work out again for me personally. All your hard work means I can now feel happy working out again. Very impressed! Well done to all

Positive experience: Bryliant clean place
Positive experience: Nice friendly staff. I was here as a stall holder at the Christmas shopping event. I was pleased that the event was on one level. Unfortunately the flooring hadn't been put down properly and there were lots of creases and bubbles which if you have difficulty walking was a bit of a minefield. I also could not find a disabled toilet. The toilet I did find was ok except for the first cubicle I went into had no toilet paper.
