Moss Side Leisure Centre

Positive experience: Good value for money. Changing room facilities need a more regular deep clean, otherwise they quickly start to smell. It's a shame people are lazy and don't put their weights back after use.

Positive experience: I love this place and the staff but because of not clean ,I cancelled my membership.specially sauna area.they have to clean it properly

Positive experience: This is a decent community leisure centre. Lots of gym equipment and a women only gym as well. There are sometimes issues with supplies running out like paper towels and the equipment isn't cleaned as often as it should be. The one big issue they have is with an instructor called Andrea who runs most of the spin and pilates and yoga classes. She is just awful. She is incredibly rude and unwelcoming but has loyal 'followers' who you will see from reviews they have all been primed to leave nice reviews about her around August 2024, maybe as a result of peoole complaining about her. She is horrible to newcomers and expects people to know what to do. She is rude and dimissive and rolls her eyes at people. It's a shame she runs most of the classes and the centre aren't interested in serious complaints about her as she is allowed to continue her behaviour. Be warned. Apart from her it is a reasonably priced decent centre and most of the other staff are ok.

Negative experience: The changing rooms smell rancid, the toilets looks like they’ve never been cleaned for days. The assistant manager roams around arrogantly thinking he owns the place and always on a power trip. The old woman receptionist is a racist, you can clearly see the way she talks and reacts to different ethnic groups. The leisure centre used to be a great place but over the years it’s no longer a place for community. The extra funding spent recently on it has been wasted, no improvements and still no different other than ran by arrogant staff.

Negative experience: Slippery courts. No courts were numbered. Unclear route guidance. Water refilling station outside Hall 1 was not working.

Negative experience: The young lady receptionist with glasses is totally lacking communicational skills. She desperately needs to be trained and monitored. I find her attitude utterly embarrassing as she was raising her voice over a simple issue which she had no knowledge of. She should not be put in position when dealing with customer services. 22 members of our family attend tge centre and I find the experience completely distasteful and appalling.

Negative experience: Lady in reception so rude and unprofessional.

Negative experience: Working in area for 2 days and wanted a swim but you're not allowed through the door without downloading an app and signing up. Unnecessary data gathering for a 30min swim. You lost my custom.

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: I have ONE exact criticism of this place and its that you cannot watch something on a screen on a treadmill with your head down (also sort out the subtitles fgs). Put a TV on the damn wall, those screens are C R A P Other than that, yeah, this place is great. Clean. Friendly. Good facilities. Tremendous staff. WAIT NO two criticisms: do not go for a swim during school hols as you'll be arrested for drowning tenage boys who think they tough and might be feisty on pavement but unfortunately for them you can Actually Swim and they flail about they're drowning at the best of times, let alone while you're holding them under bc they just dropped on a grandma for the 4th time in half an hour. Look, it's not my fault there's no wooden spoon available at the pool or I'd just give them a little wallop instead.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Andrea’s classes for 3 years now. The guidance, empowerment and encouragement I have received from her can not go unnoticed. She is a great fitness instructor with so much understanding and she always assisting me to reach my personal goals. I love all the classes especially my personal favourite Step Aerobics it’s a great vibe!. Thank you Andrea for being genuine and boosting my confidence when I’m hard on myself. Absolute gem.

Fantastic experience: Very nice place

Fantastic experience: Lovely place. Basketball lessons wonderful teacher was so good with my son

Positive experience: Brilliant community gym with a selection of activities for everyone of all ages and background. I do 5 classes a week with Andrea and she is literally the best instructor I have ever had (in 20years) they have a great selection of classes for all abilities. Mixed ability classes, great friendly atmosphere. All ages and all backgrounds…it’s actually a really nice way of socializing and meeting new friends, I feel other reviews have misunderstood her as she has one bug bare which is lateness and chatting in class but that is with everyone for the better of the class. She is far from rude or offensive. Overall great gym! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Really great classes here especially with Andrea who has the best music and is very motivating!!

Fantastic experience: I just do the classes at the gym, and Andrea’s classes are amazing and she’s made me fall in love with fitness, the music the vibe the people 10/10

Fantastic experience: I live and work quite a distance from the Moss Side gym, but travel every week without fail to come to Andrea’s classes. They are the best!! The time and dedication she puts in to make sure you enjoy yourself and get the best out of your session with her is unparalleled. If you listen to her and follow her instructions you are sure to have a safe, enjoyable and gainful experience. She makes you feel part of a community, and everyone is welcome. Be sure to get to the class at least 5 minutes before the start time to set up your equipment. The start time is the actual start time of the class. If you’re bang on time or late you may not be guaranteed to participate, because of safety issues and disruption to the class, which is understandable. Also if you’re new to the workout class, need extra guidance or an alternative exercise due to injury let your instructor know!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Andrea’s spin classes for about a year and a half and I think she’s absolutely fab!! Welcoming, encouraging, supportive m, friendly & inclusive. I get so much out of her classes and she makes me feel valued and included. I couldn’t recommend her any more highly!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular gym user and am very pleased with the quality and condition of the equipment. However, I find it frustrating that the music upstairs can be easily controlled via Bluetooth, allowing anyone to play their own songs. I also wish that users would be more considerate by returning equipment to its proper place and using wipes after use... On a positive note, I've attended several fitness classes led by Carrie and Andrea, and I am extremely satisfied with the atmosphere and the clear instructions, especially in the Pilates and mindfulness sessions. Regarding the swimming pool area, the sauna and steam room often appear dirty. It seems that many people spend extended periods there with drinks and food, which should not be allowed. Additionally, it would be helpful if people were asked to change from outdoor shoes to flip-flops upon entering the changing rooms. Despite these issues, I still believe this is the best gym in the area. Staff are lovely and helpful! :-)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at the better gym for some years, where I originally attended classes at Hough End, until Andrea encouraged me to attend her classes at the Mosside centre. Her classes are challenging and varied which encourages fitness growth. she’s engaging and ensures people are instructed to carry out exercise moves correctly with good technique, to prevent injury. If you attend her class late be advised that you may be refused entry, which is fair play, as it disrupts the session and also compromises health and safety protocols. No one is exempt from this Great instructor, who motivates and encourages fitness development, providing a list of various challenging classes

Fantastic experience: I LOVE the Mindfulness class with Andrea! It is literally the best class I have ever been to!!! Absolute weekly treat for anyone! It is one of a kind gentle stretch with chill music and flickering lights. Please, if possible do it one more time per week for all us stress balls out there!

Negative experience: "Hi, I'm a new member at this gym, and I've attended two of Andrea's classes. She comes across as rude and expects everyone to follow her instructions without being welcoming. I've been put off by her attitude, especially towards people who look foreign. It's appalling that she seems not to care that her behaviour is visible in the mirrors, like rolling her eyes when she turns away from someone. Astonishingly, she's working in a multicultural place yet fails to be accepting. I joined the gym to keep fit and not to be mistreated by the person training me. It's a shame that she runs many classes, as I don't want to miss out on them."

Fantastic experience: Best place ever

Fantastic experience: This review is about specific training sessions, at Moss Side Leisure Centre, that I have attended and that are facilitated by Dorretta. As an exercise coach, Dorretta is exceptional. Her expertise and personalized approach have been instrumental in helping those who attend her classes, to achieve their goals. She consistently goes above and beyond, tailoring workouts to suit the needs of those who attend her exercise classes, ensuring they maintain proper form to prevent injury. She will take time to explain each move, demonstrate how it should be executed, for best results and optimum outcomes. Her positive attitude and motivational spirit keep us all inspired and committed, making each session not just productive but genuinely enjoyable. Dorretta's dedication and passion for fitness have significantly impacted my progress and this sentiment is echoed by all those who attend her classes, and I, along with my peers, am incredibly grateful for her outstanding contributions. It is evident there is still room for more classes like Dorretta’s. There are many people with disabilities, or weight issues that would benefit from targeted exercise classes and coaches like Dorretta, where there is a vested interest in changing physical outcomes for people experiencing the challenges of Ill health/disabilities.

Positive experience: Well looked after leisure centre with good facilities and a free underground car park. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Positive experience: Good place for badminton. Pretty good courts and lighting. Hall 1 is better compared to Hall 2. Helpful staff as well. Bit expensive for the 40mins sessions.

Positive experience: Did the dance fitness class which was fab but the air con was sadly lacking

Positive experience: I use this place for badminton, the equipment is good but the prices have gone up from £5+ to over £8 which is ridiculous, and it's only for 40 minutes! They've reduced the booking times of the courts and have increased it in price!

Positive experience: I like the gym, does what you need it to and has sufficient machines. I ventured to a class recently and gutted to say never again at this gym due to the instructor. Andrea runs many of the classes I noted. I have never felt more unwelcome, no instructions but seems to expect you to know what to do at the beginning of session. No welcome and very cold/critical/sarcastic. Unless it seems you are one of her chosen gang who get all the in jokes, eye rolls about others and warm knowing smiles. Very odd to have this kind of behaviour in a class instructor, I can only suggest it is arrogance. I spent the entire class figuring out if I could leave without ruining the class for others, as we were packed in like sardines it wasn't possible. But I will never return, not possible to know if she is a good trainer when she makes you feel so bad at the start.

Fantastic experience: Recently joined the gym here, the gym has good equipment downstairs and a great weight room upstairs. Love being able to go swimming too the pool has marked lanes for speed and ability and the centre itself is clean

Negative experience: Grubby changing rooms, no lockers working/usable despite there being lots empty. Broken glass on changing room floor. Sent in my concerns via email, had no response. I usually swim at East Manchester leisure centre, which is a completely different experience and an example of what Hulme baths could be given the right care and attention.

Fantastic experience: The staff at reception are always very friendly and offer great customer service. This afternoon, I made a mistake with my online booking and the lady at reception was very kind and helpful! The swimming pool is great, it's a decent length (25m pool) and there are plenty of changing facilities in the centre.

Negative experience: I have been a member of Moss Side gym now for 3 years. Since I have been here the membership fees have risen 3 times. I pay £39 per month for full membership. This gym is meant to be a community gym for the community to use and encourage people to get and remain active. To join JD Sports it is £25.99 per month which is a full membership and has a male and female sauna and steam room in both changing rooms. No need to book classes and no cancellation fee. To join NRG the monthly fee is £24.99 which is a full membership and they have male and female saunas and no need to book classes. You just turn up hence no cancellation fee. I pay £39 per month for Moss Side gym and I have to book for the classes and if I don't cancel with four hours of the class start time or don't turn up for some reason I am charged £3.00 PER class not attended. Moss Side/Better Gym - this is greed! Where is the sense of community? The Centre itself is dirty and the staff are not friendly and some are rude. Classes get cancelled but we don't get £3.00 back. Classes are cancelled and the class instructors go on holiday and there is no replacement booked but we don't get any money back on our memberships. Booking classes for control maybe but cancellation fees need to be abolished! I would leave this gym but it is literally 5 minutes from my home so is convenient for me. Changes need to be made especially if they are charging us double than private gyms.

Negative experience: Very bad customer services, non efficient team at the reception, with non professional duty manager.

Fantastic experience: I come here all the time. The swimming is good and the gym equipment is good. There are no complaints here. Standard gym with lovely fitness instructors and teachers. They are so sweet and understanding and I really appreciate it with my fibromyalgia when attending classes. The library is also a lovely place to sit and wait when you are early for your booked session.

Fantastic experience: Some gym facilities a little tired but good selection, nice swimming pool and sauna - nice and clean

Fantastic experience: It very nice place with a library, gym, swimming pool, badminton, basketball, courts.

Negative experience: Gym equipment is terrible, old and rusty, not enough equipment people blasting music no one should be control of the music, gym membership over priced,

Negative experience: Unpleasant experience at the gym; staff lacks basic ethics, reception feels regimented. Insufficient equipment for the cost; better options available with modern facilities at similar prices.

Negative experience: My experience here was dreadful, People shaving in public and hair and feet shavings, no sense of hygiene towards other members. Avoid like the plague !

Fantastic experience: Good place staff friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Gym, library, pool, badminton, and squash court - all under one roof!!

Fantastic experience: Nice place for kids fun and knowledge wise.

Fantastic experience: Never quite saw the pool, but place is neat and inviting. Loved it, Langfish 25

Fantastic experience: Impressive facilities. Very well looked after.

Fantastic experience: Nice but always busy

Negative experience: Can only speak on the gym/weight training side but it is lacking a lot in equipment. There's a few machines near the treadmills on the downstairs part which is a fairly nice a modern room. But the weights room is pretty bad there is no set flat bench only an incline bench. If you want to flat bench you have to move one from the dumbell area over to a squat rack and set it up. It is pretty bizzare for a gym not to have even a single pre-set flat bench. There is also just a lack of the adjustable benches in the dumbell area and a lack of dumbells on the whole. For the price it's not really worth it weights room needs serious upgrading and just a much bigger room on the whole.

Fantastic experience: This is as awesome place to do so many different things such as swimming, gym, fitness classes and sauna. This place has a female only gym too which is mostly pretty quiet and has plenty of equipment. However, it's only women some times throughout the day. E.g., from 13pm to 18pm anyone can come in including men. The pool is really nice and big and the staff are very friendly. Definitely recommend this!!

Positive experience: It's a bit crowded and noisy

Fantastic experience: Went to sign up for swimming. The staff were friendly helpful. Great place for a workout In the gym.

Negative experience: they bloked two lines. All people can swimming in one l, so why we paid lots of money for just one small line their is no place for swimming

Positive experience: Cheap but not clean

Positive experience: I find Moss Side Leisure Centre a nice place with good facilities. They have polite staff too.

Negative experience: A very disappointing experience with their booking system. I attended a swim doctor session which was good but after that, it's been more than a month I'm trying to book another session but couldn't. Their booking system is terrible, the swim doctor sessions work on a first come first serve basis which I agree with but the second they open the window for booking it gets full. This Wednesday I tried to book at sharp 10 pm (if you don't believe me, try it out yourself!), and literally in a second all the places are gone. This is not possible practically unless the system has already pre-booked sessions for people in the backend. I really want to learn how to swim and since this center was near my house, I was a bit excited but I guess I have to look for another center. It was just beginner's luck that I got to attend the first session . There's a demand for this course, I hope they start more sessions.

Negative experience: Terrible way of organising things. As a foreign visitor, not knowing the system, I called the pool by phone to know about the possibilities. All good, we could go without any requirements, got some info about pricing. As we went, the lady behind the desk said we could only enter the swimming pool after registering. So I went registering 4 kids and myself on a terrible website, took me like 20 mins. Finally ready to go. So the lady looked at the table; bad luck: only fitness swimming. But, she said, around the corner, there's Hough End, where you can swim, too, and they are open for free swimming. So off we went. At Hough End another wait at the desk. Checking the system for our details, assuring us we just had to wait a little, all would be fine. After another 15 minutes, manually checking the pool and everything, turns out there are only 3 places left. No place for the 5 of us, and they sent us off. Please don't pretend to have a system, if you actually don't. And by the way, why should I register, just for a swim? Why are you asking me about my nationality, race, etc. What does that have to do with swimming? Or even sporting? That's definitely not GDPR compliant. Eliminate that information from your system of all your members, you have no right to store that type of information. To have a single parent with 4 kids waiting this way - it took us over an hour to get the final "no" - shouldn't even deserve a star. There's the 'system' and there's the human aspect. This system not only doesn't work, it is just there to frustrate and to violate privacy rules.

Positive experience: It’s not as dangerous as you think, nice badminton games.

Negative experience: Poor weight training area with old equipment in need of replacing. For £30 per month you would expect at least 3 benches for dumbell training but today there was only 2. I've been to £20 a month pure gyms with an area the size of the entire better weight training room dedicated to benches and dumbells. Speaking of dumbells there's only 2 of most sized dumbells. Some of them there's 3 and you'll go insane looking for the 4th while someone is using the other 2. Thats if you are lucky to find a bench or a space to use them. The design and equipment choice of the weight training areas is poorly thought out and doesn't make sense. Bench press wracks with unajustable inclines remain unused as people queue for adjustable benches. These unajustable benches could be replaced with a dumbell bench area or barbell wracks with adjustable inclines so that people can use them for more than one specific exercise. There are a few old weight machines that no one uses. With such limited space it doesn't make sense to have niche weight machines for isolation exercises when it doesn't have room for the basics. The weight training area is in need of refurbishment. It is dark, small, and poorly designed. Lots of unused treadmills if running on the spot is your thing but that's the same for most gyms. I would describe the pool as gloomy and sad. I make the extra effort to travel to hough end instead.

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest leisure centre. I use for Swimming with kids. Very safe and convenient than other nearby leisure centres. Nice Badminton or Squash too.

Positive experience: Hello there, myself and many of the women who have been attending the gym regularly for the past 25 years, were wondering if the new team could possibly schedule a womens only sauna and steam on Monday from 5.30pm till 8pm. When we finish work? 6.30am till 10.30am on a Wednesday, does not work for working women. Please take this into consideration in your next meetings agenda. Thank you, look forward to the change soon

Positive experience: Expensive for badminton as they give 40-minute slots now. Otherwise, it is a fine experience from getting in and playing. Staff are great as always, and nothing from that side of things at all!

Fantastic experience: The staffs are very friendly and very professional.clean and very neat environment to gym,you can find a lot of classes to attend in this place they have power pumps,core conditioning and other classes the instructors are professional and encouraging I’m enjoying it so far so good thank you

Fantastic experience: Equipped gym. Pool , steam and sauna available

Fantastic experience: What an amazing leisure centre with everything under one roof to keep you fit and healthy to suit all age groups. Immaculately clean inside. Lovely big pool Kind, attentive staff

Fantastic experience: 1st day back in the gym after injury and one major bank holiday weekend hangover!!!! Was completely taken care of by the staff especially Nicole, an absolute superstar!!!! Facilities are great and looking forward to swimming in that amazing pool! Recommend!!!

Negative experience: Lady on reception was very very rude she didn't had any knowledge at all whtveve u ask she sed go online and check go online and book very disappointed

Negative experience: I think that’s the worst gym in Manchester. Price not worth membership topped with endless fees for literally anything. You have to pay for swimming pool and sauna even if you’re not going to use it. If you want to use it you have to book in advance. Old and worn out equipment. Changing rooms old fashioned and not nice. I would not recommend to anyone.

Negative experience: Don’t bother to answer the phones, I have called so many times to find out about squash sessions. The information in the booking section online says that the courts are closed due to maintenance, yet they were reopened 3 months previous, as stated on their Facebook and the same website! Doesn’t help that the Better Health app doesn’t let you look at sessions more 5 days ahead. Really poorly delivered service!

Positive experience: I Actually attended a NHS PARS Class there. Found everyone really helpful.

Negative experience: First time visit this leisure centre. Badminton court floor very slippery. Is not meant for Badminton. Also very narrow court. Before our session end. Next group of peoples come in while we still playing and we almost bumped into them!

Fantastic experience: Mosside Leisure Centre is a fantastic facility with a wide range of activities and amenities to suit all ages and abilities. The centre has a well-equipped gym, a adult and kids swimming pool, a sauna and steam room, as well as a variety of fitness classes and sports courts. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the facilities are always clean and well-maintained. The centre is also conveniently located. Overall, Mosside Leisure Centre offers a great experience. One opinion: There are two Locker rooms. One with a coin system , the other one is padlock system. May can upgrade Padlock to more Coinlock system. The coin one is more convenient. Recommended? Yes, highly recommended.

Positive experience: All good. Only if the receptionist could be a bit more helpful n resourcefull !

Positive experience: I've used many gyms across Manchester. This is my local one now where I live. I have been using gyms for years and mainly use weights/strength training. Its about £30 a month for a membership. I find it hard to find any time of day when the strength equipment is free, a lot of it is old and worn down. I've tried different times of day and still struggle to get on equipment a lot of the time. I also don't think the opening hours are great- especially on the weekend. The chain large gyms like puregym and bannatynes I previously used were a lot more spacious, cleaner, easier to use equipment and staff seemed friendlier. I paid the same price or less for these. Its got a great big Olympic size swimming pool but the strength training room really could do with a refurb/extra space. The staff are reasonably friendly- some have been especially so, others a little abrupt. I haven't been for a while, it is hard to get on equipment easily like I said, they could do with more strength/weight training equipment and more space to do weight training exercises. I haven't tried any classes yet. I'll keep giving it a go but not particularly impressed when comparing to previous gyms I've used over the years.

Negative experience: Parked bike outside and got robbed and they couldn't even show cctv

Fantastic experience: we had a lovely afternoon with my friend it was our first time to visit the center had almost every thing we needed and very fair price I would recomed for anyone

Negative experience: I’ve been playing badminton in the centre for over 15 years, we asked for block booking multiple times in the past but was told that they don’t allow it because they need to offer a certain amount of slots to book and play on a first come first serve basis. So we’ve been booking every week until now, they cancelled our booking and no longer allow us to book our usual time on a Monday and we have no other time slots other than just Friday now, It transpires that a new club has blocked booked all the courts in the main hall and that was not enough that they gave the small courts to them as well… It’s fair to say, their is preferential treatment to others, block booking is at management discretion and their is nothing fair about the arrangements and decisions made by the management, very appaulling…

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean swimming pool...and the teachers are very nice to.

Fantastic experience: First time back at this gym in years fantastic staff. Thank you Jackie & Keith for your great hospitality

Positive experience: The gym and saunas can be busy but genteelly a good leisure centre with ample space and a library attached to it

Fantastic experience: Good family leisure. Expect what it says on tin.

Positive experience: Don't like the fact you can't impulsively decide to go swimming you have to book in advance... Which may not be always possible as people book sessions then don't turn up and it will still show as full when its not

Fantastic experience: Family visit with the kids. We all loved it. Separate pool for the kids. Changing area, lockers and hot showers were available. If you are part of the group and don't want to pay for the pool you can sit in the viewing area, it's a balcony sort of arrangement. Staff were friendly.

Positive experience: Went to the library. Surprised at how small it is given the size of the community it serves.

Negative experience: terrible gym, apparently wasted 8 million pounds on refurbishments but the gym ended up with less equipment than before the refurbishment, someone's nephew most likely pocketed most of the money on top of that they cancelled my membership instead of freezing and now i've got to pay 15 quid more for the same membership

Negative experience: Been here for swimming for the past year, the temperature of the water is as and when.. I honestly feel they don't make it warm enough so it's no suited for families. I say this because the small pool is never open, even in swim for all sessions.. swim for fitness is All the time.. why? What about home-schooled would like to go for a swim during term time on weekdays. Do these people answer the phone? Reception staff act like they don't want to do their job... Very nice when things go well.. which is hardly.

Negative experience: not my favorite, staff is a bit rude treating customers like kids coming to a kinder garden, reservations rules are ridiculous

Negative experience: Good center with a TERRIBLE STAFF. The Staff Unfortunately, today my child and I wanted to swim and we booked 9.50 slots and we had really TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE with staff named SCOTT DARREN (other staff told me this name). This was not our 1st swim in this center. And during our sessions, my daughter (11 y.o) can swim from one side to another side (long distance) with my supervision. But this GUY won't allow us to swim there, and didn't believe what I said and like to ARGUE with me. He is so RUDE. We were really UPSET. My child even cried because she waited for this time. Lost £7.30 for paying the pool and couldn't swim is nothing, compare to EMOTIONAL LOST what we got today. And i this he is racist. Many people didn't use short there, but why he only JUDGE me. Definitely, the center (and maybe another center) MUST NOT hire the GUY LIKE THIS. The Center: Nice leisure place. Great swimming pool just for kids learning or fitness. It also have gym, sauna, library, etc. It is very close to Asda, so it is easy to shop groceries after doing your activities.

Positive experience: My first experience this week was great but I only had time for a short swim before work. The showers are a bit of a problem because you have to keep pressing every thirty seconds but the changing cubicles are really big. The facilities are small but it still makes for a good experience when it's not crowded.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff. I take my grandson for swimming lessons on occasion and really like the Centre. Much improved after the renovations.

Negative experience: Very small and crowded compared to my local leisure centre.

Fantastic experience: This well equipped sports Centre is an innovative coming together of the Local community enclosed within the Library and within the heartbeat of social gatherings. A good day out can be had by all.

Positive experience: Great place to get fit, watch out parking in Asda car park, I went over the three hours and got a £60.00 ticket, use the underground car park next to the leisure center.

Positive experience: Unfortunately I don't have a great experience. I went with my 4 years daughter expecting to use the small swimming pool and we couldn't. The big swimming pool was fully of adults (obviously) trying to swimming and us(disturbing their) .I bought the tickets for Swimming for all, not swimming for fitness..... I can't understand why they open tickets for All(including children) if the small pool was booked for swimming class. there were even 2 lanes closed too in the big one..... I found the big pool cold. And the bathroom's shower were annoying... just 10 seconds open and then we must press the button again, and again, and again.... It was a freezing experience for us... Cold pool, cold shower time.... The small pool seemed warm.

Positive experience: Nice refurbed centre with clean pool and facilities. Friendly staff on reception

Fantastic experience: Good Courts & loads of Parking

Negative experience: the hair dryer has not been working for 1 month, otherwise everything is ok

Fantastic experience: Moss Side Leisure Centre is probably the best fitness centre I've ever been a member of. I go at least a few times a week and mainly take the classes, which are really varied and great-quality, especially those by Andrea and Shamila. They're both excellent at what they do and very professional and make the classes worthwhile, interesting and even fun. I'm a reluctant exerciser but they have really encouraged me to keep up a routine regime and sometimes I even look forward to it (not like me at all!) I also use the swim for fitness sessions, steam rooms and sauna and they're always clean and attended by life guards etc who are really vigilant and helpful. I'd definitely recommend Moss Side for a regular membership, 100%. Thanks to all the folks here who work so hard.

Negative experience: Horrible place. We booked a 2 hour session for Volleyball, was charged for it, and received a confirmation that the court is booked one week in advance, and when we showed up, we were told that a volleyball booking did not exist and that there was only a badminton booking. We wanted to speak to a manager or a person-in-charge, but there was no one. After waiting one week, being charged money, and we were dripping wet from the rain to arrive at the center, we were forced to leave with nothing. Horrible top management. The front desk was nice to us, but this screw up is because of irresponsible people at the top.

Fantastic experience: All under one roof, badminton, squash, gym, football and swimming

Positive experience: The Leisure Centre is clean and the Studios are great for personal workouts like jump rope.

Fantastic experience: I use the centre to play badminton in both the main and small halls upstairs. I have been to plenty of other badminton halls.around Manchester and this is one of the best - high ceilings, non-slip floors and lights that don't blind you! This place looks great since it was extensively renovated a few years back.
