Trilogy Active at Lings Forum: Opinions
Positive experience: Gym, swimming pool, cinema, tennis, basketball courts and etc all under one roof. But unfortunately it is old and run down building. Staff is friendly and doing it's best but site itself it could do with major refurbishment especially as it is not cheap compared to others 24h open gyms.

I'm glad that you found the facilities peaceful and hope that you enjoyed your session with us - if there's any way that we can make your next visit a 5-star experience then please feel free to reach out again, we're always striving for continuous improvement. - Melanie
Positive experience: Not much talk with the staff members, even with less conversations, we still had a good time. At that time there was others who booked different courts: badminton and gymnastics. Once we finished our first section of badminton , few basketball players used the court as they pre-booked earlier in the week. It is best to book online then face to face as it is much quicker. However I do think the staff members are a bit slow at times when moving the equipment around.
Hi Rinumus, thankyou for the 4-star review and for sharing your experience with us. I'm glad to hear that you had a good time despite the limited interactions with our staff. We appreciate your suggestion about booking online — it’s indeed a faster and more convenient option. We'll also take your feedback about the staff and equipment management seriously, we always work on improving the speed and efficiency in those areas. We hope to welcome you back soon! - Melanie
Positive experience: Great cinema viewing but lots of distractions from other viewers.
Negative experience: Badminton courts are awful. The lines are a multitude of colours, the lights are way bright. You shouldn't allow regular people to book courts if there’s a badminton tournament on. Way too many people hanging around the courts today so we left early, what a complete joke of place!!
Fantastic experience: I love teaching yoga at trilogy. Classes get booked up quickly so if you want to give it a go Tuesday evenings at 6.30p.m is one of the best times to go.
Negative experience: Fairly decent gym and good client base. However the reception staff are usually grumpy, they also lack a lot of knowledge about the gym, they can never answer a question , everything is either “I can’t do that” or refer to online. It’s a shame everything just gets pointed online as soon everything will be self check in and out , the staff are driving this culture. I also signed up for my sons junior membership, but after signing up all classes have a waiting list, wasn’t very clear , when I asked the staff, again a very vague answer “ we can’t do Anything “ everything is can’t , can’t, it’s so robotic .However I do want to note that the gym instructors are very helpful it’s the front staff, I didn’t want to review as o wanted to give them a chance but it’s happened too many times
Fantastic experience: I find it is a good place to be, exercising and being social at the same time.The staff are friendly and helpful and it is clean and the parking is good! There are plenty of activities to participate in for all age groups and thete is a cinema too! Great !
Fantastic experience: It's brilliant here. I go at least once a week
Negative experience: Facility is good,but not good for swimming classes.The instructors keep changing in lower stages and there is no effective progress .I have decided to change the kids swimming classes from trilogy.
Negative experience: One of the worst sports hall I have been for very long time. Poor lights , don’t think you can fit anymore sports’ floor line markings even if you try.
Fantastic experience: Best gym fitness gym in Northampton £27 5 gyms Well worth the money and at lings very friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff
Positive experience: Good Leisure Centre - Brilliant leisure amenities, wide range of gym activities (cardio and muscular), classes, wellbeing areas, 25m by 10m pool with a max 1.9m depth and a min 0.8m depth. One screen cinema with plenty of movies on view! Overall a good centre. One Problem: The swimming pool changing rooms make those who are insecure about their bodies or particularly don't like their bodies highly uncomfortable. In the men's changing room, Out of the 3 changing areas, there are only 2 private changing stalls. There should be more for those who are uncomfortable getting completely undressed to get into swimwear as for myself (someone who is fairly self-conscious about their body) This is quite off-putting for me!
Positive experience: Good rectangle pool for lengths, but recommend to go during adult lane swim if you want lanes without disturbance. Could be cleaner in the changing rooms.
Positive experience: Definitely a wide range of activities to offer if you decide to become a member of Trilogy Active. Can rent a court/free depending on time to play badminton, volleyball, basketball, football. Can take a short walk to the pool for some laps, or just get into the gym which provides equipment suitable for both power and cardio. Still not impressed? Cross over into the cinema after your workout and relax while watching selected movies depending on the time. Have been a member for only around a month now, however I am impressed with the options Trilogy has to offer for the price of a membership. The only negatives I have are the closing times, pretty early with a 9pm closing, as well as a deficit of various weight machines for separate muscle groups. But overall, alternatives can be found so definitely not a deal-breaker. Definitely would recommend.
Negative experience: Let me start by saying office and reception staff and the manager are friendly, polite and helpful. I wish I'd had the foresight to view the children's swimming lessons before signing my grandchildren up for lessons. Their original club had to suspended lessons temporarily in this area so I signed them up to Lings. They came out of their lesson and flatly refused to go to lessons there again! I accepted their choice after watching the lesson from a crowded viewing point. The pool was divided into 4, roped off. They are working towards stage 5 so are fairly confident. The coach didn't welcome them, didn't look at the students as he spent the whole lesson on his ipad. The class was too large, I think 9 children attending. As they were set off in 3s for each mini length they probably swan for 10 minutes of a 30 minutes lesson. I complained and expressed my disappointment at the reception and spoke to the manager. I had to ring the office to register my complaint the next day. Whilst they cancelled membership it still cost £50 , terms and conditions! If you're thinking about swimming lessons for children go and watch before you sign them up.
Negative experience: The gym is OK, small but mostly clean. Swimming pool has a lot to be desired though. Changing rooms & showers can be dirty at the best of times. The prices of membership and sessions have increased this month. The swimming timetable is poor with only 45minutes sessions and a few 1 hour sessions, if you like your swim to be interrupted by kids & teens messing about in the only lane during a general swim, then it will be perfect for you. Adult swims on a weekday are when alot of adults are working & the first and only adult swim on the evening is gone 8pm, and there is nothing at weekends for adults neither. The pool is so busy you can barely swim properly anyway. Lings/trilogy you have certainly gone down hill in the last couple of years.
Positive experience: Typical old council sports centre which has been taken over and upgraded
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great pool for swimming lengths
Positive experience: Gym is better than mouth baths and steps machine is my favourite. Only issue I have with trilogy in general is that they close too early on weekends (5pm).
Positive experience: It's a leisure centre and has lots of amenities for the whole family. Plenty of classes for kids of all ages. There's 5 gyms to choose from and some offer better facilities than other. Eg kids can roller skate @Danes Camp. There's a sauna and steam room at the Mounts. Better weights area at Lings. You pay for Trilogy membership so pick.which centre based on what you want.

Fantastic experience: Staff always seems friendly. The gym can get a little crowded but is well managed. The forum is a good single screen cinema, especially for the price, but aim to sit in the middle. Only downside is the parking when busy, but better since the new "no parking" lines. The staff manage it well.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Been going for many years
Fantastic experience: I use this for squash only so can not comment on the other amenities, However the squash courts are decent and always available if you pre book. Staff are helpful, albeit sometimes absent because they are chatting, but overall a nice experience and would recommend. I have used the cinema once too and it was spot on. Not very busy either which is nice as you don't have to worry too much about munching
