Fantastic experience: Great for Little Kickers football practice. For beginners & those progressing up.
Negative experience: Answer the phone
Positive experience: Watched my grandson having his swimming lesson.
Fantastic experience: My 7 y/o does swimming lessons here on a Wednesday and they are brilliant. Her confidence and ability has come on leaps and bounds. The instructors get in the water with them and physically show them which is amazing. Definitely would recommend the swimming lessons to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Proppa pitch lads
Positive experience: Went to watch my grandson play football there very good astro turf pitch and changing rooms
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
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.
