Fantastic experience: More than just a leisure centre, friendly warm atmosphere more like a family. Great dance studio.
Hello Gen. Thank you for your lovely 5 star review. We’re delighted to read your comments and thoughts on your experience. Kind regards, The SLC Team.
Negative experience: Football pitches are a death trap again, been playing here for over 20 years from back in the sand based Astro days. They closed the pitches for 5/6 weeks last year to repair them but the repairs are now in a worse state than before. Just plain dangerous playing on it. Oh and they’ve put the prices up £6 an hour per pitch as well.
Good morning Alex. Thank you for your feedback. I believe your review is in relation to the lower pitch as the top pitch has had recent repairs to it. The work is being arranged by Denbigh School who are pushing for further repairs to be done on the lower pitch. Until such repairs have taken place please contact the centre and see if there is space to move your booking to the top pitch. A decision will be taken soon whether the pitch will continue to be available until the repairs so we would understand if you felt the need to postpone your bookings until a decision is reached. I have sent your comments to the school, should I get a date of repair I will pass it on. The price increase was forced by the increase costs of energy and staffing and did not only impact on the price of the pitches but across all activities. Thank you for being such a loyal customer and I hope to be able to provide you more information soon. Kind regards The SLC Team.
Fantastic experience: Great place to enjoy a pint and some sport on tv or indulge in a game of Darts or Pool. Would say the pool balls are the lighter non us type.

Positive experience: The squash courts are good but the showers are terrible.
Hello Fedir. Just an update on the response given to you yesterday. The showers have been fixed this morning so if you were referring to temperature issue this has been resolved. Regards, the SLC Team. Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Unfortunately a new mixer part for the showers that was fitted today was faulty resulting in little or no hot water. This is due to be rectified tomorrow morning. I will be sure to pass on your thoughts to our plumbing company and sorry for the experience you had today. I’m happy you feel the squash courts are good and hope to improve the score you gave us next time you pay us a visit. Kind regards The SLC Team.

Fantastic experience: Nice place to play badmington and table tennis and have a drink after.
Good morning Charles. Thanks so much for writing your review and providing us your comments. Something that makes us slightly different to other centres is that after you’ve done your activities you can then socialise and rehydrate yourself in the bar. We hope to see you again soon. Regards, the SLC Team.
Negative experience: Joined this gym 4 months ago. Went the other day and asked for the air on to be turned on as was told “NO” we are saving on electricity. So you pay a membership fee to sweat your backside off and spend half the usual time in the gym coz it’s too hot, absolutely ridiculous why pay for the gym if you can’t have air con. They turned off their water fountain too and also turned off the hand dryers in the toilets and removed paper towels. Next they will be turning offf the lights!!! Time to move gyms Rubbish service
Hello Deanne Thanks for taking the time to write your review. We welcome all feedback. It’s disappointing to read you will be moving to another fitness provider. You are of course free to do that as we do not offer contracts and customers are not committed to join for a minimum time, however, I'd appreciate if you give me a chance to respond before you make any final decisions. I’m sure like many other businesses and households we are taking steps to reduce energy costs. We have taken the decision not to run the air con units all the time during the colder winter period. With the windows open providing the air circulation the room temperature has averaged 18.6 degrees during November which is within the recommended 13-20 degrees for indoor exercise. Having said that we will respond to customer requests should the situation arise in future. After a leak appeared from the foyer water fountain, it is temporarily out of action. Replacement parts for this have been ordered. There is an alternative water fountain in the changing rooms or water can be provided in the bar. If the bar is closed please come to reception and we can fill up you water bottle or provide you a drink. Hand dryers have not been turned off, although it’s possible some mischievous people may have turned the main switch off? These should be on and we would’ve happily turned them back on if this was the case. We have no intention of turning all the lights off but yes, you may notice in staff areas we have reduced the lighting. I’m sorry you feel our service has not been to your satisfaction over the last four months and I thank you for joining with us, I hope these explanations have changed your mind about leaving. Just a bit more information for you to consider is that our special offer of £15 per month for unlimited classes and fitness room usage will be removed in the new year and a new pricing structure will be introduced. The current price will remain for existing customers at the time of change. This will be advertised nearer the time to inform all customers of this change. If you would like to discuss anything in more detail feel free to call 01908 502488 and ask for the General Manager or email [email protected]. Kind Regards SLC Team.
Fantastic experience: After a scathing review previously, Shenley Leisure Centre have now updated to an online booking tool. And now I am able to use their facility with ease for this reason I'm changing my rating from 1* to 5*. Thanks for listening.
Hello Matt. Thanks for your review. We’re delighted that you were making a call to us but obviously disappointed you were unable to get through. I can see from the call log on our phone system a few calls were missed by your number last night. I can also see from your last missed call, you had a call back 15minutes later. I understand the frustration in not getting through straight away but we endeavour to respond to missed calls and messages at our earliest opportunity. We strive to be better and will do better, we’re currently looking into online bookings which will be a lot more customer friendly so keep an eye out for that in the next couple of months. I hope we managed to answer your enquiry when we spoke to you. Please also use [email protected] to check availability and request a call back this way if it’s more convenient. Kind regards, SLC team Edit: Hello Matt, Thank you for responding to our reply. The more feedback we receive, the better we can serve our customers and community. Thank you for your custom with us. Kind regards, SLC team

Positive experience: Spent some good time playing Squash..
Fantastic experience: Great service good choice of beer and not over priced. Millie was great
Positive experience: Entrance not clearly marked. Insufficient blue badge parking.
Fantastic experience: It's good place
Negative experience: Please get an app for court bookings. It’s 2022, you’re too busy to ever answer the phone, 7 evenly spaced calls today, final one answered.
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed this place. Went early to play badminton. Hardly anyone else around. Staff were friendly and helpful. Courts are reasonably priced.
Hello Malcolm. Thank you for your 5star rating and review. It is quieter during the holidays and why we’re offering a massive 50% off activities 7days a week until 16.30. It’s nice you have acknowledged the staff as well and hope you’ll be back again soon. Kind Regards. The SLC Team.
Negative experience: Good facilities, but impossible to book a court. If you've got through on the phone 1 in 100x you call, you've done well. Not an exaggeration..
Negative experience: Can only make bookings in person or over the phone. Catch is, they never answer the phone, return calls, or respond to email queries.
Positive experience: Outdated but does the job. Good amenities inside
Negative experience: Management of the court bookings is awful. Lost 1/4th of the booking time due to confusion between what we receive as email confirmation and on the day court bookings..
Negative experience: They will never, ever, pick up the phone.
Positive experience: Really nice freindly place to drink
Fantastic experience: Good local leisure centre showing all sports in the bar.
Positive experience: Gym is a nice small gym very friendly the leisure centre as a whole is a nice place to visit the bar staff are very friendly and most of the people drinking in there are not loud
Fantastic experience: Really good value for money gym with reasonable equipment and facilities. I attend one of the Pilates classes with Alex which is brilliant. Only thing which would improve my rating would be online booking for classes. Staff are friendly and the gym and dance studios are clean. I have now given five stars as I can book classes easily online - brilliant stuff!
Hello Antonia, Thank you for your recent review. I'm delighted you rate Alex, our facilities and staff so highly. We're always looking to improve and glad the online booking has added to your experience with us. Kind regards The SLC Team
Negative experience: mO is a rude and unhelpful lady - and I can’t say anything about the rest as I have never used it
Fantastic experience: Great sports leisure centre. Nice friendly and helpful staff. Well worth a visit. Not even for sport. Just for a pint or two or to watch a sports event on their massive TV.

Dear Shynish, thank you for your amazing review. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, creating a safe environment for families and our sports bar. Thank you for highlighting this.
Positive experience: It's a leisure centre with a fair bit going on. I played badminton a few times here, the floor is like the London tube map (not ideal for getting your shots in the right lines) and half the hall was curtained off for some sort of under 5s party. Not a problem until all manner of balls started flying out from around the curtain. Don't want to step back onto a ball and find yourself in A&E. Noone cared about the badminton courts (every person and their dog walked through the court most annoying) BUT it was not the worst hall I've played in.
Fantastic experience: I love coming to drama here
Fantastic experience: This is a good general leisure centre with a bar.
Fantastic experience: Friendly local hub with positive spaces ✨
Hello David, Thank you for your positive review. We try our best to make the leisure centre a happy, friendly environment for all who visit us. Kind regards, Cameron.
Positive experience: Always a good place to play badminton,BUT as always the heating is always set to 25,you ask anyone and they don't know how to turn it down......it's been like that for donkeys years,bout time they thought about their heating bills.
Hello Paul, Thank you for your review. In relation to the heat, this is only a recent issue due to works happening on the roof. The air management system is disconnected and this has only been the case for 6 weeks. Once reconnected and the roof is complete we will once again have control over the temperature in the sports hall. Many thanks, Cameron.
Positive experience: Called and booked a last minute squash court. They have 2 available and can get busy. There are seating areas out the squash court…which is good, as I was sweating so much in the enclosed space. No complaints.
Positive experience: Lots of tvs for sport. Good selection of beers. Ok atmosphere
Positive experience: It's ok but definitely in need of a referb.
