Fantastic experience: A good variety of things to do from the pool for just a swim or a bit of training in the gym .. its a nice place to go .. the changing area is mixed men and women use each end of it ... some centres have a changing room each .. the water is nearly always a bit but after u been in for a while u warm up then ..

Pedro Mountstephens 1 year ago

Negative experience: £8 for a gym session? What happened to get people out and active? For that you would expect a hotel gym, not an abandoned leisure centre? Pretty sure cardiff council sold this to make it 'better' not worse..

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am glad to see your positive comment regarding the swimming lessons being good here. I am also sorry to hear you were disappointed with the cleaning standards on your last visit to Eastern. I can assure you that the whole of the changing room area is deep cleaned on a daily basis and then checked and top up cleaning carried out throughout the day. During our peak times (particularly during Swim School or school swimming lessons) it is sometimes difficult to get into the areas to carry out cleaning due to the influx of people in the area at the same time, but we are aware of these times and as soon as we are able to and the high volume of people has dispersed we do go in and clean the area again. Many thanks Nicola, General Manager.

I hope you have a more positive experience on your next visit. If you would like to contact me directly you can reach me at [email protected] Kind regards Nikki Lewis General Manager

Negative experience: Real shame, the facilities feel modern, and it has clearly been refurbished in the last few years, the classes are good but man the pool changing rooms are always filthy. Needs a good deep clean. Have to wash my feet before I get in the pool just to get the dirt off from walking through the changing rooms.

Sian Johns 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent centre with amazing facilities. The excercise classes are perfect , great times and plenty of sessions. The centre opens early morning so perfect for training before work which is also brilliant ! Nikki is an excellent coach and makes everyone feel so welcome and at home. Would highly recommend Eastern leisure centre.

Patricia Mackie 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to a class on Bank Holiday Monday, it was a strength class for over 60s, this class was run by Jason it was very well organised, with different stations ,using different equipment on each one, it was really good as there were alternatives for anyone that could not do a certain exercise ,we were shown correctly how to do each exercise safely, I did 2 exercise which I have never done before and was shown correctly how to do this, people who were in the class were very friendly, anyone looking for something new to do I would highly recommend this class

Thomas Stevens 3 years ago

Negative experience: TERRIBLE! Had to cancel a membership 1 day after joining through illness have now not paid my money back…. Ring every 3 days, same old story and no one ever gets back to me!! AVOID they are thieves that steal your money!!! They claim they have HUNDREDS of refunds which tells you everything about their terrible facilities!!! Literally advertise they are a charity organisation helping people …. They don’t help anyone they actively want to keep your money going against their own terms and conditions!!!!

Angie Browne 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff are really helpful, polite and approachable, have used the Eastern Leisure Centre for many years and any issues I've had have always been dealt with immediately. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated. Lovely to see the staff all chipping in and showing pride in keeping the changing rooms spotlessly clean. They could teach the actual cleaners a thing or two.... Thanks guys and gals.

Negative experience: I walk my dog on a regular basis around the perimiter apart from dodging the dog mess all over the fields the out side apearance is awful. The main entrance looks disgustung with weeds growing eveywhere. Not exactly welcoming. The best thing is cardiff parks dept has an office 50m away. Get the strimmers out boys

martin shervington 13 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome class. I've attended it for a while now. Gareth and Kieran are brilliant instructors who make you feel welcomed from the start. You will learn self-defence on a way that enables you to feel more confident if an unfortunate incident was to ever occur. This is great personal development through learning a truly interesting martial art. High recommended.

Negative experience: This is a typical old school city centre council run overly standardized chavtastic moneyless pit with some new gym kit! Ignored by most of the community and run by some smashing people. Typical rough old carpark outside with overgrown bushes and lots of grafitti around a really impoverished playground. Sited in the middle of a nice open green space that it takes little advantage of, this is a social centre for the community waiting to happen. Third sector and statutory health and social care could be all over this place with some 'mixed economy' little initiatives to improve social inclusion. It's in the state because of the typical centralized notion of conformity. Raise some awareness of what's possible and it'll soon generate it's own identity.
