4.1/5 (156 Opinions)
Andy Tellwright 11 months ago

Positive experience: Alas the Tennis Centre needs some TLC and easier route through by phone would be nice.

Stuart Wale 11 months ago

Positive experience: It's okay, pool is always crazy busy. And showers are not cleaned regularly enough

Jason Cartlidge 1 year ago

Positive experience: Small pool compared to other leisure centres locally

Shelly beech 1 year ago

Positive experience: Went along to use the steam room today. Was quite disappointed by the cleanliness of the steam room. The floor felt grimy there were stains up the door. I’ve used the pool and other facilities before this visit & found everything to be clean but was very disappointed by the overall cleanliness of this particular facility.

Darius Medeksa 1 year ago

Negative experience: Steam room is always dirty, was going to wellington leisure centre because of refurbishment and in wellington is always clean,

Anthony Davis 1 year ago

Positive experience: The gym lately is full of kids playing on their phones and not really doing anything, quite annoying when you’re waiting to use a piece of equipment and they’re just sat there!

Positive experience: Good gym, although the equipment before the refurbishment was better and more functional. The steam room and sauna are always dirty or damaged but it doesn't detract much from the experience. Nice staff

Nigel Noble 1 year ago

Positive experience: Only fault with the place is the state of the health suite /steam room area the gym is good and enough equipment to train the whole body. the steam room looks and smells like it's never been cleaned and smells like a sewer I've never experienced a health suite so grim ... After complaining to management on my next visit I have to commend the team on duty 01/04/24 for promptly acting on my complaint,the health suit was closed down and received a deep clean whilst I trained . I was able to use the health suite after a good work out without complaint I have amended my review from 2 stars to 4 stars .please keep the standards up

Daniel Nicholls 2 years ago

Negative experience: Staff seem nice. Only used the health and centre and changing rooms. Pool is closed but I wasn’t aware. The health centre is a rusty old small place and to be honest was really gross. I’m sure it’s cleaned but I think just with age it looks really gross. Stayed about 15 mins then left.

Fantastic experience: Hi I honestly couldn’t thank the swimming instructors for helping my daughter this week during the swimming lessons. She started Tuesday and she was so nervous and by today Friday she didn’t want the lessons to end. The staff really looked after her, helped her and we’re so very patient with her and I honestly can’t thank them enough.

joanna spencer 4 years ago

Positive experience: Lots going on at the leisure centre and the classes and services all a good standard. The changing rooms are a better quality than my paid for gym. The building could use a little curb appeal and some seating for those waiting for example for children in classes. There are basic vending machines but no juice bar, fresh food or coffee or hang outs.

Claire Comerford 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Took youngest for swim lessons. She really enjoyed it. Lovely staff and clean. Pool is a good size, about half the size of wellingtons but big enough for what we went for.

Positive experience: After hearing about this I was contacted by the Centre and they helped me resolve the situation they created. They also offered me a discount which is nice, but unfortunately I moved away, if your looking for a dynamic centre with lots too offer. Go check it out, just pay as you go!!!! Thank-you

Positive experience: Very good facility have been playing football here for years now, very good facility’s and friendly staff the pricing is a little on the pricey side but I suppose you pay for what you get and is one of the better leisure’s centres in the area so I can’t really grumble about that. More than enough parking to which makes life a lot easier. Situated in an easy to get to area aswell, easily found via sat nav to

Negative experience: Tried numerous times to call Phone rings out for 10 seconds then you get cut off Very frustrating Maybe invest in a better phone system

John Smith 5 years ago

Positive experience: This place is OK, my review only comes from a swim perspective. The changing rooms are always clean and tidy and the staff are always friendly and helpful, the only pain is that the adult only are very limited to either 630am or as late as 930pm some nights. It gets quite busy on some occasions and people don't stick to the rotation in swimming, the lifeguards in attendance seem reluctant to correct people to swim in the correct manner. You could go to the public swim but my 2 experiences of that has been teenagers messing about. The facilities are great for the price of £4.05 pay as you go with a TLC card but it's hit and miss if you get a busy session or a quiet one and if people swim in the correct manner.

Ron Smith 6 years ago

Positive experience: Oakengates Leisure Centre is an excellent place and means of enjoying exercise. There are excellent swimming facilities, the pool being first class to learn to swim. The classes available to learn to swim cater for all ages and levels of capability. Each class is run by a qualified instructor and the thing that really impressed was the fact that a lifeguard was continually patrolling the baths. The swimming lessons are usually 30 minutes duration. For parents bringing children to learn to swim there is a viewing gaiiery around two sides of the pool with seating with excellent views of the pool. There is also a separate sports hall where badminton, basketball and netball are available at relevant times and days. The viewing gallery also is available for the sports hall. There is available an exercise facility available under the name of Aspirations, with all of the exercise machines that make up a first class gym. In the foyer there are coffee and soft drink machines.

snowboarding raptor700 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: A tidy leisure centre. I only use now and again but the gym has got a good range of machines. The free weights don't go too heavy so for stronger people it may not be enough. The gym is very clean with air conditioning and had small lockers for phones and car keys. The sauna and steam room are good too.
