Deborah Skinner Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Went to aqua aerobics for the first time, good class but let down by women who got in to talk rather than exercise!!!! Could not it hear the instructor!! So annoying - go for coffee to natter

Rob Thomas Published on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great place to work out. Friendly and helpful staff. Getting a bit dated now though. The location of the sauna is odd as it is located a good distance away and if you want a swim you have to gain access to the pool via a public corridoor.

Duncan Macleod Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Much cheaper than Cardiff pools, family fun session on a Sunday morning was warm with an inflatable slide. Kids loved it.

Chris Taylor Published on Google 2 years ago

Simon Adams Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Decent enough place, has everything you need

Justyna Janas Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I take the kids to the pool. The pool does not have any attractions such as slides for children. It is an old fashion swimming pool. There should be more attractions at the pool, such as slides, jacuzzi. Unfortunately there is nothing. It's boring and it's a pity because there would be more customers, especially on rainy days

Kevin Morris Published on Google 3 years ago

Fit Ninja Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: This Leisure Centre is very outdated 2024 your gym is not a lot of equipment and the membership way too much money I rather off going to Caerphilly Pure Gym I would give it no stars for any of the stuff you can do in the gym in the Caerphilly Leisure really think they should close it and every member who goes to the gym should go to Pure Gym so I would recommend everybody to go to the Pure Gym because the people who work there are more sociable and the very nice to you and Pure Gym is open 24 hours

Linh Harris Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Great, upbeat and challenging instructor. Aqua Aerobics was a terrific workout and great fun Great disabled facilities, shower was only hot or cold, no in between. But I didn't mind it so much. I like a cool shower anyway. The drain didn't clog up leaving so my feet weren't left in a nasty swamp. A+++ overall

Landfill Dirtydot Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Very busy in the pool, with two lanes being used for swimmers, not enough room for us to join, and loads of kids in the main pool, again not enough room for us to enjoy a swim, so just bobbed around a bit and had a few half lengths this time

Emmy GP Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went swimming here. Friendly reception staff. Very clean, light and spacious changing area, cubicles, toilets, showers. Cash and contact less Healthy Vending machines. Deep end 2 metres and shallow end 0.9 metres. 25 metre length pool. Small pool next to main pool, 0.9 - 0.4 metres depth. Great for little ones.

Positive experience: Pe

lynette suller Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been using the gym and swimming pool. Seems to be running well. It seems clean and Covid restrictions seemed to be enforced. The staff are still very friendly and helpful. Swimming has been really enjoyable because there is so uch room to swim. Perhaps booking in could be kept for that. No on chatting in the middle of the pool getting in the way..

David Shutt Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's good but it's small and run down. Sounds like they're going to be building a new one - that's a good move.

Dale Braithwaite Published on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: Typical of Caerphilly council to have one of the worst gyms around. I guess the health and wellbeing of its residents isn't a priority. What do they actually do? They offer no meaningful services, The roads are dangerously under maintained, affordable housing is non existent and council tax keeps on going up. Back to the leisure centre... The gym is very small and cramped, and the whole facilitiy is not clean enough The pool is never open and the last time I went into the steam room I was nearly sick because of the smell. The car park is not fit for purpose, the staff are miserable and no staff are on the ball to prevent unsafe training. Members aren't friendly, the cafe is overpriced and in general there's nothing more than bog standard activities offered. Avoid this gym.

Alan Coles Published on Google 5 years ago

Luke Coomber Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: The elderly lady on the front desk is rude and spends ages talking to customers rather than actually serving the que that is building up

Megan Cavanagh Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: A great leisure centre and good value for money - however the gym gets very busy at peak times and sometimes there are no machines left to use. The swimming pool times on weekday evenings could be better as well

Magpie Farm Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: Good range of services shame the cafeteria is now closed

neil B Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: Really good facility in a good position easy to get to but as more and more are using it for classes it does need a bigger carpark as they are parking on the road making difficult to get passed if your pushing a pushchair,classes and the gym are getting busier which is great just book a class or choose a quieter time

Sallyann Davis Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lots of activities and groups very lively centre

Phillip Jones Published on Google 6 years ago

Billy Keogh Published on Google 6 years ago

Luke Pearce Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: Great facilities for a very reasonable monthly fee. Gym equipment is old but works well enough. Spa area with sauna and steam room is great, they're always working well, and nice and hot. Haven't been to many classes but hear good things. Oh and their squash courts aren't too bad either!

Rhys Hobbs-McClean Published on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: Staff are great. The facilities I can't complain about but this lesuire centre is in much needed renovation. Very out dated. Looks like a metal shack from the outside, car park needs to be resurfaced. Seating area to watch your childeren in swimming lessons is terrible.

Born Again BluesMan Published on Google 6 years ago
