Services, Machines and Guided Classes
Sheppey Leisure Complex: Opinions
Negative experience: Decent basic get what u need to get done staff polite apart from one lady called Karen very rude and not polite to customers
Fantastic experience: Very clean, spacious changing facilities.
Negative experience: I don’t usually like leaving bad reviews but the blonde haired woman on the front desk in the gym has a proper attitude. Put me off my membership, considering cancelling. Many times I’ve let it go thinking she may be having a bad day but time and time again she’s blunt, rude, shakes her head and huffs if you scan your card whilst trying to sign in and she’s “doing something” (how am I meant to know) maybe put a sign up to say don’t scan until we’re ready or leave the scanner on your part of the desk. Even my guest who I brought has decided not to sign up because of her. Will look at moving elsewhere. I recommend customer service training or move to less customer facing role.
Negative experience: Turned up but was not allowed in as we are not local!(Sittingbourne) seemed sesion is run by a charity for islanders so was asked to wait 40 minutes.Was then told children's pool was closing. Won’t be visiting again!
Negative experience: Christmas opening times says 3pm finish for today. Got there and they said the sheet is wrong and it’s 2pm. Why is the sheet wrong? 2pm finish when most gyms are 24 hours or at least 6pm is poor hence the 1 star.
Negative experience: Gym and staff fantastic, can't fault them at all. Swimming pool and certain gobby swimming instructors and the awful timetable for adults to attempt to swim.. shocking. Was informed "Lane Swimming" at a certain time and two thirds of the pool wasn't available due to childrens swimming lessons, was informed by a rude member of staff that it's ok that 10 adults of different swimming abilities can all swim in one lane. Whilst she teaches two children in a lane during the lane swimming session. Not fit for purpose for people who actually want to swim. If you're a child or someone that wants to float about doing nothing then this is the place for you
Fantastic experience: Went to the roller disco with the family. Great couple of hours out. Ample parking.
Fantastic experience: Really good
Fantastic experience: Very good
Negative experience: Our 3 children had swimming lessons here, lessons constantly cancelled, dreadful instructors apart from a couple, facilities are extremely basic and unclean. I wouldnt bother with this place or it's swimming lessons it's a waste of money!
Fantastic experience: Really really helpfully staff!! especially Gina, I was really worried as I have previously moved and paying for a membership I don’t use, however gina made sure she sorted my contract out . This has been a massive help as this is something she did not need to do but she went out of her way to even ring me back up later after speaking to head office. Could not reccomend enough, the best customer service I have had for a long time!
Fantastic experience: Great
Positive experience: Basic gym but all you need if your budget is limited. Fair range of equipment and the changing rooms are modern and clean
Fantastic experience: I have just joined the Health Studio to tone up my muscles and joined a walking club at connect
Negative experience: Very, very expensive if you want to use the gym without being a member. I paid 2.40 to park (which I got refunded some of) then paid about £10 for using the gym for one hour. I wanted to use the gym whilst on holiday for a week. They had no weekly deals either, so i would have had to pay around £70 to use the gym for 1 week. The gym itself is what you would expect for a council run gym.
Fantastic experience: Lovely facilities...we are so lucky to have that near by..they truly are amazing , the staff are good too...sometimes you will get racist staff but that's normal, not everyone is same, lifeguard are doing great job in swimming areas as it's always clean and young people are working with smile on which is amazing. Thank you for giving lot of facilities and clubs and fun activities.
Fantastic experience: Plenty to do.
Negative experience: My kids are using the swimming pool (small one) and it is most of the time very cold, especially during the lessons. Why can't it be warmed up for the comfort of children and teachers?
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff and an easy to get to location. Decently priced memberships too! 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: amazing place to relax with children, peace and quiet the beach a bit rocky and few parking spaces but generally, I recommend great food and a cold beer
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great place to visit
Fantastic experience: Good
Positive experience: Always a good visit to the gym. WATCH OUT THE CAR PARK PRICES HAVE GONE UP....
Positive experience: Verry nice management brilliant just not to many machines,weights, perfect gym for beginners.
Fantastic experience: I visited Sheppey FM radio station which I think is all part of the complex. Top community radio station. They do a lot of good work behind the scenes for local people which is probably why they were chosen for a royal visit in front of other local stations. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: Very good
Positive experience: The doctors there are very good.
Fantastic experience: Went to spin class coach by colour 45 minutes with no hydration forget it. Worked up good sweat.
Fantastic experience: Clean
Fantastic experience: Beautiful Scenery on a beautiful day
Fantastic experience: Lovely was at skate park so many lovely people about lovely chats and lovely place
Fantastic experience: Lovely place went had bloods done plenty of parking
Positive experience: Good decent gym with the basic equipment and a sports hall. The parking lot gets a bit busy. Nice location close to the Sheerness beach front.
Positive experience: Generally a good gym with good and various equipment, shame some of the equipment has been lost since lockdown and apparently might not return, such as the power plate, which was really popular with members. Staff are friendly and professional although somewhat lacking in interaction with gym members but are happy to help out if requested. Good range of classes at reasonable cost and at various times to suit everybody's schedules. There are better gyms around but these are more expensive and frankly don't really offer much more to the average gym goer. All in all a great place to work out and get a little fitter.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. Great facilities
Positive experience: Though dated in areas it's a decent complex with many services on offer
Positive experience: One pool closed and the life guard stood watching with people jumped the pool next to my baby
Fantastic experience: Hi, it was great had a lovely day.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely a hidden treasure, they have sandpit for kids all ages with slides swings etc skate park and a little splash park as well. The beach has been given 4 stars blue award with actual lifeguards plenty of benches to sit on and enjoy the view as well walking
Fantastic experience: Great place.
Thank you for the positive comment. Stay safe, Sheppey Leisure Complex Team
Positive experience: A well used sports and recreation centre with the addition of a doctors surgery, healthy living centre, on the first floor. Several rooms to rent for classes or exercise classes, fitness gym with all the usual pieces of equipment to get fit. Changing rooms and toilets / showers. Large main hall, split into several smaller areas for multi use. Paid parking to the front of the centre with the sea wall to its rear
Fantastic experience: Loved it,safe for children and my grandson loves it
Positive experience: First time of going to this pool very clean and very big. Big
Fantastic experience: It's covid19 safe and the staff and managers make you feel welcome.
Positive experience: I have been to the swimming pool. The staff was very nice to explain me the covid 19 procedures. They were very organised between the groups of people and the changing rooms and corridors were dried and cleaned in between. I would have put 5 stars if only the showers were private.
Positive experience: Good place to go swimming in Sheerness and perfect for people who have young kids and can't get off the Island easily.
Negative experience: No heating, changing cloth after poll is terrible expireance if you are not polar bear.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place
Positive experience: Given the COVID 19 situation the gym has tackled it very well by maintaining social distance, putting up a pre booking section before members can come workout and is very helpful with the cleaning process. The gym can have a few more equipment but has more than enough to get a good workout in.
Positive experience: First day under new covid restrictions. My son enjoyed it. We had both missed it. New one way system easy. And changing rooms open for use on way out only. Will be going back again. Website had a few problems but hopefully that is sorted now. Staff we re very helpful on the phone with website issues. Would like to see childrens pool open too though. I can t see any reason to have it closed personally.
Fantastic experience: Super Covid-19 safe, super clean, super tidy, super welcoming
Negative experience: Only went past. Think it was closed.
Fantastic experience: It's open! Whilst other places are closed. Wide range of activities if you can book in early enough. Reduced numbers in classes which makes it difficult to get a slot in the busy periods But it is Open for business!
Fantastic experience: Уникално
Fantastic experience: Yoga is great here.
Positive experience: Very good
Fantastic experience: Swimming was great
Fantastic experience: Great gym and large swimming pool. Every Saturday is the nicest as they have the balls etc out in the pool
Negative experience: Went for a day out , wasn't much to do and everything around looked depressed, we returned home after an hour there , the journey was lounger than actually stay !
Negative experience: Absolutely terrible comunication and really bad facility's would not recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Great for kids
Negative experience: Seriously outdated!! Was shocked after swimming here for the first time since being a child. It's exactly the same minus the fun stuff the walls are peeling the floor tiles are all cracked (dangerous) how is this place even still open to the public? AVOID AT ALL COST
Fantastic experience: Good pool.Friendly staff.
Positive experience: Fair prices, reasonable range of equipment, most staff friendly, biggest downfall is limited opening hours (Especially weekends - 8-3) in comparison to some others (Notably 24hr gyms!).
Fantastic experience: Urokliwe miejsce.
Fantastic experience: Apsuled.nice and good plz to be
Positive experience: The facilities are good at the gym and the pool is really nice, the majority of the staff are nice however some of the receptionists are rude over gym side.
Negative experience: Needs updating its very boring.
Positive experience: Nice
Positive experience: Great classes
Positive experience: Looking forward to those new shower rooms to be finished!
Fantastic experience: S bjk
Negative experience: Overpriced and horrible atmosphere at times of busyness
Fantastic experience: The staff at the centre are literally the best in the business. Both the reception team, and the gym instructors. Super friendly, supportive, and helpful. Great classes, especially Dave's and Cheryl's ❤️ Spin classes back up to 18 capacity Great facilities, well kept, clean, and great variety
Positive experience: Nice pool friendly staff good price
Fantastic experience: Nice place
Negative experience: Sports hall facilities: Below average facilities, often refused entry as the roof is "leaking" as they're in the process of getting a new roof (they have been for the last 15 years according to the staff) and they only tell you when you arrive despite it apparently leaking all day. The equipment door on the indoor pitch never closes properly often causing disruptions. When you book a court online for any racquet sports you pay for the court, and are then charged entry apon arrival too (why is this not displayed/included?), meaning that instead of paying £10 for a court for 4 on a weekday evening you actually have to pay £18 for an hour on quarter of a court for less than the hour you've payed for (as the nets will inevitably not be set up/taken down at the end, so you'll have to wait while this is done during the time you've payed for). This review is not aimed at the staff as they are often helpful despite being poorly organised.
Positive experience: Go swimming in leisure pool frequently friendly staff pool could do with a good clean
Fantastic experience: I only use the doctors surgery and they are absolutely fantastic
Positive experience: Bearable for a leisure center

Negative experience: I’m talking about the gym part Some the stuff friendly Some of them not. No WiFi I’ve been in there nearly 1 year now and never work and when you ask the stuff working in there you can’t get no answer and the men’s toilet is not good at all. And I can’t wait for my Contract to finish so I can go and find better gym place. And it’s lots of another stuff is .....Thanks
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: Great equipment friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Good service
Positive experience: OK needs a revamp though
Positive experience: Good area to relax with facilties for all ages
Fantastic experience: Clean and a nice cafe.
Positive experience: Good staff, complex is in need of some repair, has many leaks, and the weight gym is limited and often machines are out of order.
Fantastic experience: Amazingly helpful staff
Positive experience: Parking is a nightmare to be honest but the pool is clean & everyone there is friendly.
Positive experience: Was really next door but looks ok
Positive experience: OK bit bleck
Fantastic experience: It is a lovely place. Staff are really helpful and supportive. I love it!
Positive experience: Shower rooms a little out dated not individual cubicles, lockerooms felt like anyone could just walk in, machines were outdated also. This place is in desperate need of a renovation. We would go to the gym to be told that they were closing because not enough people were in the gym I think staff just wanted to go home early. If you live on the island don't go to this gym go to Snap fitness in Queenborough.
