University of Liverpool Sports and Fitness Centre

Positive experience: Great place

Negative experience: Gym is very small and because of the opening times it's usually too busy to get on any of the machines. Locker rooms are not cleaned regularly, the website for the actual membership is not user friendly at all. Was a nightmare cancelling my membership. Staff were a bit rude and just seem more interested in gossiping on the front desk than offering any assistance. As a student myself I was very underwhelmed and disappointed with the place. Honestly there are so many other gyms to join which are far cheaper even offering student deals, I would recommend saving some money and going to them instead. The other gyms offer more variety of classes too.

Fantastic experience: Affordable and good place to spend time

Fantastic experience: A sports complex suitable for all ages and genders, and the timing is suitable for everyone throughout the week. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is always available to provide assistance with great welcome.

Fantastic experience: I'm loving doing scuba diving

Fantastic experience: Recovering from spinal operation.Great to get in pool and exercise.Attendants are really helpful

Negative experience: Even though the pool is good and the staff is not too bad the ice-cold showers of the swimming pool (even in summer) and archaic water mixer ended up making it a bad experience for my girlfriend and I. The beginner pool is also quite cold. Each visit ends up in hypothermia.

Positive experience: Good Gym

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, Annie & Matt very helpful. Great facilities & very clean.

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean place, lots of activities and swimming

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience

Fantastic experience: Great space with multiple sporting activities

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, exceptional hygiene and friendly staff. Equipment is top quality and atmosphere is really relaxed and welcoming.

Positive experience: Big pool . Always busy , lots of sporting facilities . Very busy . Little small.studio space. More cavernous rooms .

Positive experience: It’s got a nice pool but REALLY needs more regular cleaning, the locker room and pool are quite dirty overall, not quite to the point I refuse to go as there’s not many other pools close by, but still to the point I can’t wait to leave and shower. Overall it’s nice enough I just wish they paid more attention to cleaning it.

Positive experience: New virgin climbing wall! Lots of auto descenders.

Fantastic experience: Love, love, love! Although wish the gym was 24hrs

Negative experience: Not enough squat racks

Fantastic experience: Did not drown!

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout..Gym Memebership includes access to swimming pool,badminton and squash courts.

Fantastic experience: They have 25m swimming pool and the timetable for general lane is very suitable for students and for external people. 2023/2024 Membership for only using the pool is around £147 annual fee.

Positive experience: I love going swimming here nice and early about 8 or 9 am it is nice and quiet and the other people who come are so friendly and the staff are so friendly. The swimming pool is a bit dirty

Fantastic experience: Great courts

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic facility! Even though I've lived in Liverpool for 8+ years, I always assumed this venue was only for the Uni students. While primarily it is, it is also open for use by the public. Furthermore, some of the facilities are free to use too. Many thanks University of Liverpool - I'll be attending as much as I can hoping to become a fitter 48 year old!

Fantastic experience: Nice facilities. The only suggestion is to update the websites regularly in case the pool is closed for maintenance

Fantastic experience: Rather good

Negative experience: Visited to play badminton, after booking a court online. Staff at reception were incredibly rude and patronising and tried to charge us double. Online prices are 3.50 for the entire court for non-members but they tried to charge us entrance fees each despite the website saying nothing about this. Overall the customer service is the worst I have ever come across!! Would not recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best for students at lower fees

Negative experience: Tiniest gym area ever and ive been to many gyms. Absolutely no fans in the gym. Very compact and nearly fainted several times on the running machines. Gets very packed almost all of the time. Limited types of machines compared to most other gyms. No parking nearby. Opening times are absolutely discusting. Opens at 8 on a Saturday and 9 on a sunday. Shocking times for a gym! Also staff are rude and arsy.

Negative experience: It's convenient because it's on campus but that's the only reason. The opening hours horrible.

Fantastic experience: Staff friendly and welcoming. Great facilities

Negative experience: Tiny gym, ugly dirty looking pool and climbing wall from a chucky movie. Yeah I'd obviously recommend it.

Positive experience: Poor disabled facilities Has lift but only 1 changing room for swimming and that is shared with baby changing ! Pool needs to adjust steps in and out to facilitate people with mobility problems . Shameful for a university

Negative experience: Visit fairly regularly for badminton and occasional squash. The staff are sometimes quite rude, recently hassling us over our student status. I understand they need to know, but I would appreciate not being spoken down to like a misbehaving child. Also we had leaks from the roof onto our court, to which we told to just put a bucket down and only use half of the court, no refunds, no moving out court, just simply deal with it. We sometimes play at the John moores sports centre, there the staff are always super helpful and accommodating, helping to set up equipment and ask if we need any extra equipment, the courts are clean and rooms air conditioned. It's a shame the UoL sports centre couldn't be more like them.

Fantastic experience: My sweat house!!

Negative experience: Regardless of the other not up to university standard sports facilities, but the squash courts are by far the worst I have ever seen… not much care and attention is given to promote sports in this university…

Fantastic experience: Great facilities.

Fantastic experience: It was fantastic, I just walked past it?

Positive experience: Did my test, very clean

Fantastic experience: Great facilities for playing table tennis or basketball in front of sports centre

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Just a great meeting place with my friends from back in the day ..., It's walluys nice to catch up, right! I totally recommend even to just peace fully walk your pet.

Positive experience: Very nice

Fantastic experience: Nice halls in beautiful gardens, please stop locking the basketball courts

Positive experience: The gym is alright. Nothing special. Some machines are missing, but you can find alternatives. With regard to the swimming pool. They advertise it as “open 7 days a week” which is very deceiving. It’s not open the same time as the gym. You’d think because it says open from 7-10 on weekdays that the pool is the same but it’s not. It closes at 8 on weekdays which isn’t very bad, but it closes on Saturday while only open on Sunday for a few hours in the morning. Very inconvenient as signed up for the University’s gym specifically for the swimming pool given that other gyms in the area are cheaper. Additionally there isn’t other facilities usually expected like a Sauna or a hot tub.

Fantastic experience: Big hall and fit for purpose.

Fantastic experience: At the University for our daughter's graduation. Great place and lovely people. Excellent day!

Fantastic experience: gud

Fantastic experience: Great place, lovely staff, clean and well maintained ! Thank you Mr Tamer , you're great swimming teacher . My children improveed a lot . Thanks to all the staff. Brilliant efforts,!

Positive experience: One trampoline was broken whilst the other seriously lacked in bounciness. Hall is great to use for many other events however.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, wish it was a bit cheaper for students.

Positive experience: Great staff , great price , clean facilities given the amount of people accommodating. Swimming pool is a bliss apart of some days that is closing down for lessons and then gets hectic. It does not help that a large area of the swimming pool is closed for one or two kids lessons and the rest of the lanes are 5 people and more trying to squeeze for their work out !

Fantastic experience: Excellent sports facilities.

Positive experience: Very nice place

Positive experience: I joined the Swimming pool, but on entry to the sports center I noted umeducated nonsense surrounding facemask mandates, The staff are cool

Negative experience: Good luck trying to reach these guys by phone for bookings or any enquiries. Every single time I call over the last two months no one ever answers the phone, and then when I go to the gym they’re not even busy at the front desk so can’t even use that as an excuse

Fantastic experience: Boss place you can chill And the weights are nice and light

Fantastic experience: واقعا من دانشگاه لیورپول را دوست دارم فضای آن عالی است

Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool

Fantastic experience: Neat and clean

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot

Fantastic experience: Efficient

Fantastic experience: Currently there is COVID19 testing centre for staff and students. Till further notice sports activities are closed.

Fantastic experience: I love this place !!!

Fantastic experience: Great for covid 19 testing Unit no queuing very military but fast and efficient took 20mins in facility and 30mins for results would highly recommend for tests

Fantastic experience: Brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Whether your goal is strength and fitness, mental health and fitness or just all round wellbeing, the University sports and gym offers a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. Even in these different and difficult days with Covid, you can manage your routine in safety and within the Covid guidelines.

Positive experience: Generally good. Helpful staff. Small gym

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and brilliantly helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Very good. Good staff. Well organised booking system. Very good showers.

Fantastic experience: Greatsl swimming pool and facilities

Fantastic experience: Super... We visited just pool but it was really nice and quite place for swimming and chilling

Positive experience: Nice

Positive experience: A wide range of sports and leisure equipment, so there will be something to suit your taste. The showers in the pool changing area haven't run hot for a while now, but the prices are very reasonable, especially if you're a student.

Fantastic experience: Top venue

Fantastic experience: Nice gym

Fantastic experience: My son is doing so well at university and he loves the city as a whole, so much so when he finishes university he doesn't want to leave the city and hopes to work there.

Negative experience: Toilets in the swimming pool area are never up to a satisfaction standard and the showers are often to cold to even use.

Fantastic experience: Lots of facilities shame you have to pay car parking.

Fantastic experience: Good swimming pool... Many more to explore in comming days

Positive experience: Lots to do

Fantastic experience: Good facilities !!!

Fantastic experience: Really good gym with reasonable price. Only £220/year

Positive experience: If price isn't your biggest concern this is the place to be for all your fitness needs. The fitness centre spans across two floors and has recently been revamped with state of the art fitness equipment. The floor above hosts an olympic swimming pool and indoor rock climbing. Among other things, tennis, football, cricket, martial arts, fencing and archery are all available at the centre. The X burn classes are also something to opt for if you are not into the whole weight training, and then there are plenty of other amenities such as yoga and meditation to opt for if you are into that.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant new gym installed

Fantastic experience: great pool

Positive experience: Nice place enjoyed the sports activities

Positive experience: Very fantastic staff

Fantastic experience: Wow wish i was a student again. The sports facilities at Liverpool university are outstanding

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and well organised open day.

Fantastic experience: good Gym

Negative experience: Too expensive to be called a "University" Sport Centre. The price is not student friendly, unless you are a relatively wealthy oversea or local student. But if you're going to use the swimming pool, basketball court, badminton and the gym... then it's worth it for the price that they are setting. A relatively decent gym in liverpool at student price is... 1) £14 To £19.90 a month 2) £3 To £4.5 for a day pass Whereas this place at student price is... 1) £26+ (minimum) a month 2) £6.50 (basketball court etc. Including gym) or £3 (swimming pool etc. Except the gym) for a day pass A piece of advice, if you're finding a gym in Liverpool, find some other gyms around your area before hastily purchasing an annual or 6 months pass for this place. They are much better places if you are just finding for a gym.

Positive experience: Halls are good, but dusty. Gym is good, but has leaks from the ceiling often. Staff is nice. I haven’t been to the pool in over a year, and for good reasons: the pool was at that point practically furry, floors in the changing room dirty and the showers mouldy. Walls, door and ceiling green and furry as well as paint chipping. Not going in there again.

Positive experience: The Pool need to be clean

Fantastic experience: Very good sport centre

Positive experience: A good sports venue with plenty of high quality equipment and access to a pool. I use this venue regularly to train with my club in the dance studio and it's a very accommodating size

Fantastic experience: Very convenient location for gym usage, and the gym is very well equipped. Around busy times for students, the gym is very quiet. Everything is easy to find and to use, but remember to bring your own padlock because the staff don't like lending them!

Negative experience: Fine facilities but completely overpriced for what is available

Fantastic experience: Perfect

Fantastic experience: Nice staff 5 stars...
