Julija Baranovska 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was very pleasantly surprised with this leisure centre. The showers are a bit of letdown as there is no separate cabins, but since I am local I just go home. Machines are very modern and recent and staff is very friendly.

Marie 3 years ago

Positive experience: Went on an evening and found the entrance to the carpark poorly lit. No signage to indicate where Disabled parking is best to access the ramp. Helpful and pleasant staff. No clear signage to the lift at the entrance. Enjoyed the class and will return just with a torch.

Fantastic experience: Had my first HIIT class in over 2 years with Michelle at 1Life Peterlee and honestly I had a blast. She makes it fun great interaction with her class she made me feel so at ease. Thank you. Over all I have to say I have used the Seaham branch and Peterlee branch and I can say the customer service is second to none. I am so pleased I’ve finally found a gym company I really love!!!

Fantastic experience: Great small little leisure centre ideal for taking the younger generation of family members too. Currently my grand-children and great-grand-children access various activities on offer such as karate, mucky play, dance school and the Easter gymnastics camp. They would not be undertaking these activities if, it wasn't for the excellent social media coverage over the past six months on Facebook. I would also recommend the gym staffed by very friendly staff and an added plus for me is that there is a sauna also here.

Fantastic experience: Seaham Leisure centre has loads to offer especially for kids, the staff and super friendly and supportive. It could do with some improvements made inside and out, but apart from this, its had loads to offer local people. Hopefully in the near future we will see some improvements made which will give this great place a fresh look, which in turn will attract more teams and local people through the doors. thanks John Anderson
