Our comment from FitFit UK about Bell's Sports Centre:
Bell's Sports Centre in Perth, United Kingdom, is a fantastic facility offering a wide range of sports activities and a welcoming atmosphere. Users have praised the helpful and friendly staff who create a supportive environment for all visitors. The gym features a large selection of modern equipment and offers various activities for children during holidays.
Many attendees appreciate the center's cleanliness and well-maintained facilities, as well as the excellent choice of equipment available. The spinning room is particularly loved by fitness enthusiasts.
However, some feedback indicates areas for improvement, such as the limited parking options and complaints about the cleanliness of the restrooms. Additionally, there are suggestions for better communication regarding events like gymnastics that can prioritize other attendees.
Nonetheless, the center remains a popular choice for both casual sports enthusiasts and dedicated athletes alike, making it a valuable asset to the Perth community.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym unfortunately closed this now due to some idiot not closing the flood defenses costing millions of pounds of damage and being closed since November. Equipment is now being moved to Dewars Ice Rink but when that will be open to the public is an open question.
Fantastic experience: Great place. Very cost effective. The staff are mega helpful and friendly, such a supportive group
Hi David, thanks for giving us a 5 star review
Fantastic experience: Happy and friendly staff
Hi Alan, thanks for giving us a 5 star review
Positive experience: The new gym is fantastic, good range equipment. Clearly see that there has been money spent and thought put into it. Go as far to say its one of the best gyms in Perth but the price lets it down. Would be good if corporate memberships could be reintroduced, a bit unfair and know people who have cancelled their memberships due to the removal of the cooperate membership. There is not enough parking and completely avoid when they are holding gymnastics which they clearly dont let members know about. They seem to get priority and there is no thought for their paying gym members. There is no restrictions for them, running around screaming………had a group of them nearly run into me, with no apologises. There is also a stinky burger van, that appears when the gymnastics is on, right at the entrance, with the smell hitting you as you leave. Thought Bells was a Health & Fitness Centre………Again, depending on what days you go, will depend on level of customer of service you receive. As the acknowledgement or lack of, you get with even a simple “hello” or “goodbye”, they make you feel like you are a bother to them!!

Hi Bruno, thanks for giving us a 5 star review, we look forward to seeing you at a cycle class soon!
Positive experience: The state of the gym is good, however often some equipment isn’t in operation. Changing rooms seem clean but they’re quite old. Toilets are so bad. Often dirty, often drying machine work by itself and just turn on and off which is a bit creepy to be honest.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility. Gym is excellent with new equipment and huge variety of kit. Shame Live Active can't push some of the new weights equipment in Perth to the live active gym in Kinross which is like a poor relation.

Positive experience: Quite a good big sports centre. It used to have a reasonable on site cafe which spectators could use. Not sure if that is still there. Handy location from central Perth and near a big park and the river.
Hi Ros, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review
Positive experience: Could do with better lighting
Hello, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we'll pass on your feedback to the management team.
Fantastic experience: Jurassic Live was on
Hi Patricia, thanks for leaving us a 5 star review
Positive experience: At gymnastic comp. Set out really well. Only a minor complaint, it was rather hot and stuffy in the hall but understand needs to be for gymnasts but phew.
Hi Heather, thank you for taking the time to leave us a 4 star review. We'll pass on your feedback to the management team.
Positive experience: Every year we attend a tournament that spreads over three Saturdays throughout the year. The centre is spotless and facilities kept to high standard. On the other hand the stands are made of uncomfortable seats, the temperature within the large hall is way to high considering the activities taking place there, and vending machines out of order whenever you feel the urge for a snack or hot beverage.
Hi Ivan, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We'll pass on your feedback to the management team.
Fantastic experience: a great place for all sports activities
Thank you for leaving us a 5 star review
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, lovely staff especially Colin... absolute gentleman so helpful always welcomes you and takes time to talk.... so glad I came back to the Rodney to find it had moved to Bell's.... highly recommended especially for anyone looking for a change.... definitely the change I needed. ☝️
Hi Hayley, thanks for leaving such a lovely review, we'll make sure to pass on your comments to Colin. We look forward to seeing you back in Bell's soon.
Negative experience: Smelly loos
Fantastic experience: Hello, this is a quick review of the new gym. What can I say, it's huge!!! There's loads of equipment both CV stuff and weights benches and I reckon there's got to be about 80 if not more stations to use. The staff there are very friendly and happy to help as I wasn't sure about some of the kit. One very small criticism I have is you have to exit the gym to fill your water bottle. Although it's not a great hardship, it would be more convenient having the water tap/fountain in the gym itself. On the whole though, I am very impressed with the gym and I recommend it to everyone - I'll certainly be returning.
Thank you for the feedback, we're delighted to hear you're enjoying our new gym and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Fantastic experience: Nee gym facilities are amazing, and staff are so helpful!
Hi Carolyn, thanks for such a lovely review, we look forward to welcoming you back to Bell's Sports Centre soon!
Positive experience: Great places for kids to play outdoors
Thank you for taking the time to give us 4 stars
Positive experience: Attended Scottish Gymnastics competition sat 11th June, long day but only vending machines for snacks and drinks!! A small restaurant would be beneficial to those that frequently use this venue ***
Hi Fred, thank you for your feedback. For large events we often organise for independent catering businesses to set up directly outside the venue to provide food and drink options for event attendees. Unfortunately, the catering provider organised for the Scottish Gymnastics event encountered some unforeseen technical problems on the morning of the event and were unable to operate that day and by then it was too late to organise an alternative provision.
Fantastic experience: North inch great gym
Positive experience: Was attending the cat show. It was great, good size area but the yellow lights made it very difficult to see/photograph the cats.
Positive experience: First time cat show in Bell's Sport Centre, well organised but on first arrival not clear from outside that the show was on there. Good car park close by and not expensive. Lighting in venue maybe could be better for showing. But Nice sports venue.
Fantastic experience: Good Gym, Knowledgeable Staff and Freindly.
Positive experience: Good facilities for people of all ages & abilities. I go to Bell's regularly supporting a gentleman with cerebral palsy + complex needs. The staff know him by name and treat him with great respect. Bell's is a credit to Perth.
Hi Graeme, thank you so much for such a lovely review! We look forward to seeing you both back in Bell's Sports Centre soon!
Positive experience: Fine
Positive experience: This is a great sports hall for a number of activities including badminton, basketball, football and more. Children and adults have a selection of things to do with all equipment being supplied here too. Theres multiple halls and changing rooms and seating areas. There's also a gym (which is about to be renovated and expanded during 2022) which is very popular. If you own a live active card you can get a discount on bookings too. There are a ton of vending machines for drinks and snacks but I'd advise to take your own as the prices are extortionate
Positive experience: If you love the sounds of shoe soles squeaking this is the place for you
Fantastic experience: Brilliant
Negative experience: no free parking and only accepts cash. popular hot spot for traffic wardens. parking would appear to be monday to friday however if you look a bit closer on the sign it also says saturday in a different section.
Positive experience: Reasonably nice sports centre by the Tay. It has toilets inside which are clean and open to the public, not just centre users.
Fantastic experience: Hired a handcycle and a normal bike for an hours cycle around the North Inch. Really friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Negative experience: Place looked closed.
Hello Elaine, You can find our venue opening hours for Bell's Sports Centre on our website here: https://www.liveactive.co.uk/Venues/bells-sports-centre. When visiting, please ensure you enter through the front automatic doors at the front of the building (facing the North Inch). I hope this helps. Live Active Leisure
Positive experience: Good venue for our meetings
Hi Jim, thanks for taking the time to leave us a 4 star review

Fantastic experience: The staff are so friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: Great resources Access 4 All mobility cycling
Positive experience: Due to Covid, my fitness classes have started being held here from Rodney's. The place is immaculate, and the staff are extremely helpful. The classes are well spaced out for social distancing, and have plenty of hand sanitising stations and antibacterial wipes to clean equipment with at the end of the class. My only gripe is with the building itself. In 2020 it's beginning to look very dated and needs an upgrade, which, for obvious reasons, can't be done at present but it serves it's purpose for now.
Fantastic experience: Closed due to covid, but looks very good
Negative experience: Closed due to covid.
