Coldharbour Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: It is a nice place, quite clean, at the reception people are always nice and willing to help. But during the winter is difficult to stay on the gym without heating. Not always but many times is too cold. And the changing rooms can’t be accessed as there is a never ending code and I just give up with it.
Fantastic experience: The gym equipment is in very good condition, staff are nice and know how to do their jobs well, this centre is a definite go to for anyone who likes working out
Many thanks for rating us 5* and taking the time to review us.

We work closely with the local community and offering a suitable space for the NHS to use is one of many services we provide. You can find out more about all the other services provided here at https://www.better.org.uk/leisure-centre/london/greenwich/coldharbour-leisure-centre
Positive experience: Parking is not easy, but otherwise all's good.
Many thanks for taking the time to rate us.
Negative experience: No notice that the gym would be shut today for the staff annual training day. Could have easily put notices up around the gym. The condition of some of the equipment is poor (leg extension machine noticeably poor). Some of the reception staff are nice but 1 in particular doesn’t make any effort to welcome people.
Negative experience: Gym too expensive for the size and equipament provided
Fantastic experience: Went here to see a grassroots football match on Sunday, the centre has a car park just by the entrance, inside a few changing rooms and toilets, outside a few big football pitches.

Positive experience: I am so sorry but I find this place so depressing! It’s small and stinks of people’s sweat. Machines are always busy and you need to avoid peak times of you want to train properly. The staff is lovely though. But I have cancelled the membership because it’s too ugly.
Negative experience: Today I have visit Coldharbour leisure, we are members more then an year now. We was there ( me and my 15 years old son) and the lady who works there come and let as know that we can use the gym for 17 minutes as we have been too late in her opinion. We was there 5:30 am and 17 minutes late the lady who works there come and tell us that we have to leave immediately. That is the worst customer service ever! She was extremely rude ( as I said we are customers for more than year and that was the drop that refilled the cup. She has been complaining for something very time we are there). I have asked her to cancel our membership and she answered “ Okay “, don’t even try to apologise and explain what the rules are. I absolutely disappointed from the service there as we have been visiting also Better Eltham and Sidcup and m never had this bad experience as in Coldharbour.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We do apologise if you feel that you did not receive satisfactory customer service on your visit to the centre. Please be aware all juniors do need to book a space for themselves in the gym, the last session is 5-6PM with all juniors to leave at 6PM.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and centre. Excellent balance of machines and classes for all levels of fitness and strength. Staff are all attentive and friendly.
