Gemma Aleksiewicz 1 year ago

Negative experience: Went for swimming, the entire area is the dirtiest swimming pool changing rooms I have ever been in. It’s smells of really strong urine throughout the entire building emanating from the female changing rooms it’s absolutely disgraceful. I dread to think what’s in the pool, I couldn’t stay

John Credland 1 year ago

Positive experience: First visit to the swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff. Pool is OK could do with a refurbish but completely adequate for a casual swim.

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym recently and I can say it was a good decision. The staff here are incredibly friendly; they make you feel very welcome. All of the classes I have attended have been really enjoyable and the instructors are really good, making each session both challenging and fun. The membership fees are very reasonable and you’re not required to sign up to a long term contract. Overall, it's a fantastic place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Really nice astro pitch for everyone to play on. It needs more bins around the fence on the outside for the lazy people to put their rubbish in, as they are unable to walk to the bins inside so just chuck it on the floor.

mark clarke 3 years ago

Negative experience: Tried to go swimming with my son on 11/09/22. Checked web site before we left home and when got their we told limited numbers only as they haven't enough staff so we were turned away. What is the point of having a web site if not updated. Total waste of fuel and time. To have South Staffs council you might as well have nobody complete sham.

Negative experience: Really not the best of places. Leisure Center its a bit of a stretch to call it that. Tired and run down. Poor opening hours, bad service and a swimming pool thats cold and silent thats part of a school.. Again not a Leisure Center really. Avoid!
