Our comment from FitFit UK about Canolfan Hamdden Plascrug Leisure Centre:
Canolfan Hamdden Plascrug Leisure Centre in Aberystwyth offers a variety of facilities suited for all age groups. The centre is appreciated for its cleanliness and friendly staff who consistently provide a warm welcome to visitors. Users have highlighted the helpful staff and the well-maintained gym, making it a go-to spot for fitness enthusiasts.
Families enjoy visiting for swimming, with both a children's pool and a larger pool available. However, it is important to note that swimming sessions are limited to 45 minutes and must be booked in advance, which some users found inconvenient. Despite the center's strengths, several reviews indicate a need for improvements, particularly regarding the changing rooms and the absence of a café.
Overall, Canolfan Hamdden Plascrug offers a great experience for exercise and leisure, but visitors can benefit from being aware of its limitations, such as limited swimming times and dated facilities.

Positive experience: Good basic facilities, lovely staff, clean. No doors on showers in men's or locks on the ladies.
Fantastic experience: Good gym helpful staff & members
Fantastic experience: The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Great workout friendly staff
Negative experience: Be aware that swimming sessions are limited to 45mins (despite being very quiet) and entry is timed accordingly so you cannot turn up and enter any time, phone to check (Be prepared to be put on hold for long periods). No café, only 2 vending machines. Spectator area is no longer open.
Positive experience: Great place to take kids for a swim, although the pool is a bit cool and the showers are a bit hot. Shame there's no cafe.
Positive experience: Good experience
Fantastic experience: Saturday afternoon with a three year old could not be easier. One hour swim followed with some soft play. I paid for the swim, and the little one went in for free, and the Soft play was only a pound.
Fantastic experience: I go to the classes for the over 60s they are very good and very well attended, keeping us fit and out of the doctors
Positive experience: Very clean, friendly staff and well equipped.Just a shame the fitness suite isn't open until 12 on Mondays and Fridays.
Fantastic experience: Archery every Wednesday evening 20:15 to 21:30 Training and equipment provided :)
Fantastic experience: Great softplay area, needs better signs inside though
Positive experience: Decent and we'll maintained facilities with polite and professional staff.
Positive experience: Only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because the outside is looking rather grim. They've spruced the place up inside during their closure through covid, and they provide great classes etc, but the face of the build really does need a lift!
Fantastic experience: I mainly use the pool on a weekly basis. Very clean and changing rooms are spotless. Staff are lovely and always get a lovely welcome. Thank you x
Positive experience: No one ever answers the phone which makes it difficult to book.
Positive experience: Only 45mins swimming per session. Tired changing rooms with no means of keeping the 3 changing cubicles shut. I had the embarrassment of having to change in the open area. Was only £3 though.

Positive experience: Plascrug leisure centre has two pools a Small (10x10m) children's pool plus and a large pool (10x25m), four changing rooms, male, female, family (two rooms) and disabled.

Positive experience: Good staff, good, clean pool
Positive experience: Could do with some investment but a great facility.
Fantastic experience: Lovely
Positive experience: Really good value if you're a student, mainly just use the gym, I find some of the machines in there to be uncomfortable especially the leg curl machine, however they have everything you need and it normally doesn't get too busy, the classes can be disruptive cause you can't use one of the rooms but that's only fair, haven't been to any of the classes but they have a very good range. Overall would recommend
Negative experience: Could be so much better!!
Positive experience: Good swimming pool. Took the children. A smaller pool and larger pool available.
Fantastic experience: Took my son swimming to this leisure centre. Very friendly staff and grateful for family changing rooms, where my autistic teen son and I could change together, much to the annoyance of other parents. Pool traditional shallow and deep ends. Viewing area available, but missing the cafe, which has been replaced with gym machines. Otherwise, great for a swim on a rainy day!

Positive experience: Needs a clean and update.
Positive experience: Needs money spent on upgrading the changing rooms
Fantastic experience: Good centre but needs the cafe back
Fantastic experience: Nice swimming pool for kids.
Negative experience: Pool was very cold and the showers only felt warm due to the pool being so cold.
Positive experience: Good atmosphere in the gym, some good equipment, the old gym is very dated and the equipment isn't especially well maintained. But they seem to be inmproving. My favourite gym in Aber for the price
Positive experience: Great staff and amenities
Positive experience: New gym equipment installed, plenty of choices of exercise classes, friendly staff but failed to offer places for people who need ACTIF even being suggested by the physiotherapist. The music being played during the circult session can reach 90 db so bring your ear plugs to protect your hearing.
Fantastic experience: They do a lot with what they have. Really liked the accessable play where they naturally involved my younger disabled son with one of the instructors getting in a sports wheelchair to play chase.
Positive experience: It's ok
Fantastic experience: Great place with friendly staff and clean facilities
Fantastic experience: Always a great place to go swimming or gym the best thing is lifeguards unlike clarach bay
Positive experience: Great staff and descent facilities, but it's tired and needs modernising to reach its full potential. Sadly no Cafe anymore.
Fantastic experience: Good pool
Positive experience: Need to open more on public holidays
Positive experience: A very basic community leisure facility. New cardio equipment. Very restricted opening hours at the weekends. Pool is mostly used for county schools during the week term time. Lacks adequate changing and showering facilities. Needs to roll with the times and offer a more modern flexible service. A separate gym entrance with membership swipe cards would go a long way to providing a much needed 24 hour gym facility.
Positive experience: Great place to bring the kids, shame about lack of cafe
Negative experience: Basic, in dire need of some new equipment, poor gym not a reflection of the hard working gym staff and Instructors
Positive experience: Limited swimming times, no cafe , dated.
Positive experience: Small pool but adequate, changing rooms could do with a smarten up.

Fantastic experience: Variety of classes, squash courts decent price, memberships available, helpful staff
