Manchester Aquatics Centre

Negative experience: Beware of parking - The signs say permit and paid parking however my daughter managed to get a ticket even though she paid to park. I contacted the center in hopes of getting this reversed and Tom the duty manager could not be bothered to pick up the phone to the parking company to enquire as to what could be done. Further more he could not be bothered to contact me as reqeusted in my email as dealing with the public is clearly not part of his job description.

Fantastic experience: Superb aquatics centre. Immaculately clean and extremely well managed site with super friendly & helpful staff

Positive experience: Review about adult swimming lessons provided here. If you're like me, wondering whether to take the plunge as an adult and put off by the lack of information, read on. I joined the weekly 45 minute lessons for beginners. The bar code for lessons never scan for me, so go directly to reception and they'll let you in. Immediately to the left of reception are the changing rooms for the pools. Bring a £1 coin for the locker or your own padlock. Once you're changed and showered, head to the pool (the far side with benches, noodles and kickboards). You meet your instructor there. The lessons themselves are good. Instructors change almost every week but never had a bad one. You get more or less attention depending on who else is in class (usually 3 to 6 people in total). It's a mix of ages and experience. For £8ish a class it's worth it. I'm 5 lessons in and reasonably confident swimming a few metres face in the water without floating aids, and I started as a complete beginner. It will obviously take far longer to learn swimming compared to one-on-one coaching, but the supportive group setting and low price fits my needs. Bring: towel, flip flops, hair cap (if you have long hair), goggles, ear plugs if water entering your ears annoys you, swimming trunks/costume. They provide floating aids.

Fantastic experience: It's a good aquatics center in a location near multiple universities. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: Booked a dive for all session, notice the word dive, got to the diving boards and was told no diving allowed waste of 9 quid absolute joke

Fantastic experience: Possibly the best indoor pool I have used in decades. The water was he ideal temperature (27°C) and it's easy to pace out a mile in long 50m lengths. Too many pools are too warm which I find discouraging. I'm only an occasional visitor and the entry cost here is lower - so good value for money. Oh, and he staff are really nice too.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really quiet in the mornings. In the afternoons/ evenings, it can be busy though.

Negative experience: Absolutely disgusting . Got a veruca after visiting . Hygiene obviously isnt important. Changing rooms minging . Lockers dont work . Staff rude and the pool itself is disgusting and full of bits and rubbish . So foggy

Fantastic experience: The pools, changing rooms are clean, staff was helpful and friendly - having issue with my apps and my local pool couldn't fix it for weeks and not helpful and staff in Manchester aquatics center helpful, friendly and fixed it instantly. Was shame it seems the 50m pool only had limited slot.in the AM/PM only, I was after it but only managed to seim on thr 25m on my first visit.

Fantastic experience: I had a great swimming experience. Easy to pre book, swimmers in the lane were very relaxed.

Fantastic experience: A top notch swimming pool. Friendly staff, great water quality ie clean. Nice changing rooms. And they play decent music.

Fantastic experience: Great pool- especially when the 50m lanes are in use. No plastic drinks bottles in the cafe When I asked the manager for a high chair I got a prompt response and a high chair appeared shortly afterwards. Only £1 to park in NCP with a validated carpark ticket- what is there not to like!

Fantastic experience: Love going here, I'm part of COMAST so go every morning and some afternoons, it's always clean and tidy, both main pools are lovely and clean and well kept, loads of toilets and Lots of big changing rooms, lots of lockers and very accommodating life guards

Fantastic experience: I like to spend my time here and feel health! There are 3 gyms, different swimming pools, spa rooms etc. I think hygiene is good, I generally find places clean there. I’ll keep going there, and would suggest it to my friends. ‍♀️️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Bring a £1 coin for the ground floor lockers

Negative experience: I look online on the Better app to see a £1 swim for all for those whos 16 under BEFORE 10am i try to book online to see that they only do swim for all after 3pm but i went it to check and see if they only do it on a specific date and they said they dont do it till after 3pm which means under 16 has to pay full price which is £6 and i dont have that type of money to spend so instead i check on the manchester council website and it says that manchester aquatic centre do it and manchester aquatic centre is the closest to where i live and the staff said to either go moss side which is dangerous or east manchester which is £7 on a tram and manchester aquatics does open at 5:30am and they do swim for fitness all day starting from 5:30am so i dont see why they cant do swim for all before 10am

Fantastic experience: Brought my daughter for swimming. And she loves it every time we come here

Fantastic experience: Honestly Freya should get a raise, very helpful

Negative experience: rude manager and unsympathetic to other people using the pool

Negative experience: Manager was rude and on a power-trip. She was remarking the smallest inconveniences to other swimmers.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. High spec equipment, everything clean and sterilised. Comes with the trade off of them using a fair amount of chlorine in the pool and jacuzzi. Best to scrub with soap after use and rub lots of lotion in to keep skin hydrated. Overall fantastic establishment, very well kept, surprising organizational efficiency of the staff considering the size and scope. Regular classes and teams e.g diving. Great location- City centre.

Fantastic experience: I like to come here for family swim, splash zone is great too.

Fantastic experience: Great 50m pool with good facilities. The cafe is very average. Shame there is limited healthy snacks.

Fantastic experience: Nice swimming pool, i had fun and there was a nice play area that my brother enjoyed. By the end of the swim my brother had lernt the basics of how to swim on his own and had fun. In the deep pool it was nice as it allowed for a relaxing swim. Will come back again

Positive experience: Great facility but very expensive cafe. Please make it more affordable

Fantastic experience: Great local swimming and fitness centre. Has undergone large-scale renovation in the last few years.

Positive experience: The facilities are great, the staff is very friendly in general.

Positive experience: Really lovely updated pool and play area for kids. Was just a bit cold today.

Fantastic experience: The health suit may be compact and lack a heated bed, but it more than makes up for it with a sauna and steam room which are perfect for relaxation. Additionally, the swimming facilities are immaculately clean and very well-maintained, making them an excellent option for professional swimmers.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant day out with kids, very clean and a generally good experience!

Fantastic experience: Commonwealth Games grade of pool(s) that provides good swimming in 50m 25m diving abd training arrangements. Well staffed and nice clean changing facilities.

Fantastic experience: 1st time going & absolutely fantastic, on entering we were welcomed by receptionist, venue was clean tidy & inviting, enjoyed our swim & taking young children who enjoyed the children’s area also. Upon leaving we was shown around facility by Lifeguard Rosie who was so knowledgeable kind & made us feel welcome - great experience, definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you

Fantastic experience: Lovely time swimming here - its pretty clean and not been too busy all the times we’ve went. Bargain at 2.50 a swim for students :-) yayyyyy

Positive experience: The centre is great. Lovely facilities. Shame that the staff are next to useless. Customer service is clearly not a concept they have heard of. Also, they never answer the phone.

Positive experience: Went to find out about swimming there very helpful staff looking forward to starting swimming there

Positive experience: The kids play area is fun for little ones 6 yrs and under. Only issue is the big pool is freezing along with the atmosphere is way too cold.

Positive experience: The entrance needs better signage. Had to walk all the way around it before we found it

Fantastic experience: Various kinds of gyms (strength, cardio), giving you multiple exercise options + indoor swimming pool for all ages. Fitness classes (dance, HIIT, yoga) are recommended as well.

Fantastic experience: I thought my bag had been stolen from a locker and the staff were really helpful and kind helping me get the bag back

Negative experience: The Sauna and steam room need to be more scoured for people and specifically students as there’s many wired and nasty people who are older then students they keep harassing girls and talking nasty and dirty about young girls and guy’s reputation , I hope the staff be so serious with this kind of this behaviour , I know there’s some of them been repeated to the staff but unfortunately not had been change , staff most take control for the steam room and the sauna to be safe pleas to use .

Positive experience: Pool: i like the lane booking so it's not over crowded. However, the way the changing rooms are set up is not very hygenig. you walk on the same spot with your bare feet amd outside shoes instead of having it designed in a way thatseparates street shoe area and barefoot area. There are not many showers, so at busy times you're left queuing for the cubicle shower. Health suite: nothing suite like about this place. same issue of not separating street shoe and barefoot, so it tunes nasty pretty fast. also, as a central european, this place is faaaar from hygenic. it's 2 textile saunas and 1 steam room, i.e. everyone wears their swimmers or even long sleeve cloths on ladies only days and sitting directly on the wood and sweats into it. my friend got a fungal infection twice after visiting. so really not very hygenic. i prefer the continental european sauna tradition of everyone is naked, but sits on their own towel, feels way more hygenic. i went to the mixt gender sauna day and ladies only. the latter is nothing for those seeking a relaxing, peaceful time. it is loud, overcrowded, ladies putting on mudmasks and polluting the hot top. i do not reccomend at all. go to an all gender day, it's more calm, peaceful and respectful in my experience. dance studio groumd floor: took a dance class there, was ok. but afterwards we were asked to pick up a mat for some streaches, again noone brought towles and just layed on the mats super sweaty. nothing for the faint hearted. it only gets an overall 3starts cause i like that there's a 50m pool in the city of manchester. the health suite should get 1.5 stars.

Fantastic experience: top of the pops, this pool is amazing , changing rooms are awesome, staff actually cares, TOP

Fantastic experience: Love the swimming facilities so much now that it is open again; good number of changing rooms and the pool and facilities are cleaner than others I have been

Positive experience: Great place to take the kids for half term but probably wouldn't go there to regular but that's just because it is a bit out of the way for us. Really enjoyed the facilities and very easy to book online.

Positive experience: Great facilities, and a wonderful pool. I visited for a lane swimming session, not all swimmers were following etiquette, in the wrong lane and swimming into people. The gentleman on the customer service helpline was very friendly and helpful too.

Negative experience: First time after the refurb and I honestly don’t know where all this money has been spent! Same dysfunctional showers and changing areas, hairs and dirt everywhere and let’s not forget the lockers still requiring a £1 coin while the venue is cashless!

Positive experience: Lovely to see it restored to its former glory with the recent refurbishment. Don't forget to bring a £1 coin for the lockers. I arrived with cash but not £1 coin and despite the lockers needing cash, the cafe, shop and reception desk is cashless so there are no facilities for you to obtain change. It would be good if they could invest in a few cashless lockers, since that seems to be the direction of travel for the rest of society.

Negative experience: I pay £38.00 monthly. I go to gym once or twice aweek max and there is no water to drink or to take a shower. This not the first time happing

Positive experience: Only 3 stars because the changing area is awful. The engineer who designed it should be removed from the profession! There are only !!! 3 !!! cubicles with showers. Furthermore, the lockers are in a gender-mixed area. How am I supposed to go from the shower to the locker naked? There's no way; I can only go while wearing my swimsuit again! But then, what was the point of taking a shower before this? There are well-known established design solutions for changing areas in swimming pools. Why should somebody reinvent the wheel?

Fantastic experience: Facilities are really brilliant since the renovations in 2023. The pool is much cleaner and the changing facilities have been modernised... which was much needed!

Positive experience: Great revamp, clean.improved facilities. Been here with the kids many times, our 1st choice. The Splash pad is great.

Positive experience: Best place I have found to swim in the city centre for a reasonable price so far. The booking system is easy on the app if you have a membership. A tip for adults is use the Health Suite (if you are happy to pay or have it as part of your membership) for storing belongings/showering/changing etc. as it is much nicer and more calm than the main changing village with kiddies/teenagers running around screaming everywhere. The centre would be improved by having a drying machine in the Health Suite (have to walk around to the main changing to do this) also a second “Medium” lane in the fitness pool as there are unused lanes but the “Slow” gets very busy with people who seem to just float about (they could do this in the smaller pool).

Negative experience: Went in to check it out after the refurb, staff not very welcoming, pricing is confusing, leisure suite is tiny with a weak jacuzzi. Disappointing.

Positive experience: Little disappointing with 37mil spent. Spa is nice, gym room not big enough. Smashed mirror, rip ceiling tiles. Floor feels very concrete, not much spring. No focus on the users/members, which is ashame.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, large 50 meter pool. For adults looking to swim, choose the “Swim for Fitness” option in the Better app. Lanes are organized into slow, medium and fast so you choose which one best reflects your pace. Showers with doors that close are available but bring your own soap. Changing rooms are co-ed and lockers take a £1 coin, or you can bring your own lock.

Fantastic experience: Para Olympics event. Fabulously organised. Group of 9 were invited. VIP treatment. Great time. Great participants.

Positive experience: Came here with my 8 year old. Very clean. Splash pad is good for the smaller ones . We came during swim for all time and wasnt as busy as we expected maybe due to the new booking system slots. I think 1 hour is long enough. The water is alittle deep conpared to other centres. My boy is 8 and quite tall aswell and when having rests he found it hard. However it does its purpose and we will be returning again.

Positive experience: Great 50m pool. Changing rooms clean with lockers that take £1 coins or padlocks and a small counter selling food and drinks. It can sometimes be a struggle to swim here for fitness as the lanes are often not managed well by pool staff, meaning people visiting for just a float about are clogging up swimming lanes. Gym is missing some key equipment, and is a maze to navigate, and the health suite is often very unclean, noisy and not very relaxing.

Positive experience: Sadly I was trapped in one of the lifts which broke down in this newly refurbished centre ahead of the World ParaSwimming Championships. Despite calls for help, no-one from the centre came to see how we were. It took 55 minutes for the lift engineer to arrive and release us.

Negative experience: This review is about the gym. It has most of the equipment but cleanliness is below standard. Be ready to have your own towel or even wet wipes. Most of the time they don’t have any paper to clean the machines and equipment so there’s sweat everywhere. Made a complaint to better as well but didn’t get any response.

Positive experience: Great set up in the centre, but don't eat at the Wright's Burgers and grill in the photo ... I got food poisoning

Fantastic experience: Fantastic and positive energy vibes from the pool. Loved it and proud to be a volunteer for para swimming world championship 2023.

Fantastic experience: Recently reopened after extensive refurbishment, this is an excellent swimming and diving facility that caters to both public users and major competitions like the World Paraswimming Championships.

Positive experience: Great experience. I found out you needed to book online and was able to get a space at 4pm. Booking means it is not too crowded and the lanes have plenty of space. Two drawbacks: the 50m pool is divided in two and the public section is only 23m due to the divider and secondly, does not have flags to indicate the ends making backstroke a little harder.

Negative experience: Hi i hope one of your manager see my comments some of your staff is so rude i been there to jone the gym the didn't care about customer you guy's put wrong staff in customer service she was very rude her name is( amina) i jone the gym but next day i cancelled my membership because of her she acting like if this aquatic centre is belong is her dad's name she is so selfish i hope you guy's put someone's professional in customer service before you loss customer thanks..

Fantastic experience: First time swimming here despite being to Manchester numerous times. Was pleasantly surprised at the nice and clean lockers, shower facilities and pool too. Only 1 thing is it’s quite expensive for me for 1hr of swim with the use of the locker (£1) compared to pools back home for me. Guess it will be cheaper if I get season pass, but it’s not worth it for me as I’m a tourist here unless I can swim a few times to break even.

Positive experience: The second door access to the gym is a hassle because sometime our mobile network is slow, secondly there are some exercise machines which shouldn’t have been put in the cardio, they belong to the strength room.

Negative experience: I’m not sure the centre was actually ready to open - it’s opened all the same and abandoned being at all appealing for families. The new splash park might be ok if it was warm or had any kind of shallow pool area for younger children. The 1.2m pool is on the cooler side and we had to leave after 20 mins as our three year old was shivering. The changing facilities are a minefield and the lockers are barely big enough to fit your average swim bag and certainly do not cater to families. There are three larger lockers located outside the changing places room but I feel these are designated for those with additional needs. The place doesn’t feel ready to be open with boxes everywhere and staff not really knowing what is going on - there’s an all round fed up feeling about the place. The refurb clearly was not aimed at local families and seems a complete waste of funds. I’m sure those going for a solo swim may find the facilities adequate but those thinking of taking young children for a swim will find there’s not much on offer at the Aquatics Centre.

Positive experience: Good gym. More equipment would be good. More tricep ropes. One is not good enough and a straight bars to do bicep curls

Positive experience: Well at the moment under refurbishment but don't expect it to be clean or have working lockers I am sure they will fix so it's ok but needs improvement

Positive experience: Training pool only open at mo, sorry folks but the changing room and facilities cleanliness is far below par. Showers barely work. Good 50m pool open at weekends though. Staff friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: Website and app have obviously been designed to keep people out. Neither match up, for instance the Aquatics center was offering sessions on the app when website says the pool is closed. It's virtually impossible to book swimming for the kids unless you call the help center register for a call back and get the very nice lady (Caroline) to book it for you but that takes 45 mins. Who ever is in charge of websites app and phone system should be ashamed, why do you have the complicated voice mail system in place ? If you were a business without public money to prop you up you'd be bankrupt. Staff on the ground are usually lovely but they can not get past the shoddy systems in place, management should be ashamed of them selves.

Negative experience: I had the very unpleasant experience in the pool last summer of a male swimmer coming up from underneath me when I was doing laps. His head contacted my groin area and he grinned but denied that it was deliberate when I shouted at him. There was nothing the staff could have done as none of them saw this and he was obviously going to deny it but when the pool re-opens it would be good to ask staff to look out for such behaviour. Thanks

Positive experience: Brilliant space with facilities to dry swimming costume but a depth either 1m deep or 2m deep. therefore great if your a kid or professional. But not so great if your a casual swimmer.

Fantastic experience: Super staff clean facilities. Good to have some change for the hair dryers. Clean modern and well maintained great location and under £5 for an hour swim. Pre-booking is advised as it gets rather busy.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and very helpful staff. Good clean pool nice temperature. Quiet on the Saturday afternoon at 1pm when I went for lane swimming too. Nice hot showers afterwards.

Positive experience: Great swimming facilities, with plenty of lanes available at different abilities. Huge changing room with lots of locker spaces. Lots of room in the pool due to its Olympic size, although it's only 23m a length when the partition boom is in place (feels a little odd if you are used to a 25m pool) Only downsides were the horrific smell of the gents toilets, the smell of stale urine was nauseating, and there are only 8 shower heads by the poolside for rinsing off after your swim, a little crowded when busy. I'm hoping the refurbishment will fix the issues.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, the staff very helpful . Pools well kept and changing rooms spotless. The vending machines out of this world . The pay4vend is an excellent way of vending .Well done

Fantastic experience: Great gym and swim service for students. I would recommend getting an induction before you start so you know your way around the place and any questions you have can be answered. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Negative experience: Do not attend here if you have any intention of cancelling your membership. I cancelled my membership 3 times and continued to be charged. I have phoned 3 times and sent multiple emails and told that my request for a refund will be processed. It is now months later and I have received no money back, baring in mind memberships here are not cheap. Terrible costumer service.

Negative experience: This is what the place looked like many moons ago when I last visted, has there been any improvements made since ? I use to love coming hear in the early 2000s. It was so handy as it is quite local to me. Some of the Olympians use to train there for the 2012 Olympics and the place was spotless back then but when the Olympics finished they let the place go and sadly it declined rapidly. After using this place for years, it was sad to see the state they had let it get to and when I complained to the manager back then and showed him these pictures, there wasnt so much as an apology and his attitude was just "Oh well". It would be lovely to see this place get back to what it once was.

Fantastic experience: It's good to be able to book a place and actually get to swim without people getting in your way, as they have room to cater for people who swim for exercise, swim for leisure, or for families. What would be a great benefit (as with all of the communal changing rooms) would be a couple of hooks on the wall. They would be very cheap to install and a great help because theses rooms are always very small and very humid. The one way system could be mostly left in place too, as it provides somewhere dry to get undressed without unnecessarily wetting your shoes and socks. And this costs nothing.

Positive experience: Good facilities, not too busy when changing... But the pool was very busy and far too shallow for me to swim effectively. The deeper pool was closed off for a professional session/lesson

Fantastic experience: The service here is very good! I was struggling with my membership and a nice guy at the front desk fixed it with within 5 mins! Would recommend going here to anyone!

Negative experience: This gym, for me, indefinitely rejuvenates the definition of dissatisfaction. I am truly disappointed with the refund policy model. It took less than 6 minutes to register and get my first subscription paid. I tried to cancel membership before COVID restrictions, only to find out my account was actually frozen and that standing order subscriptions would continue after 3 months. However, upon asking for a refund, I would be told that it POTENTIALLY could take 6-8 weeks to get my refund and every time I tried to inquire if my case was being looked into, I was not given any info. I completed and submitted a refund form, providing any relevant evidence, and even sent multiple follow up emails. 2 months later, I find myself still waiting, engulfed with a feeling of being invisible and irrelevant to this gym/facility. I’ve never felt so helpless as a customer or former customer. Honestly, I’m now just grasping at straws, hoping that someone, anyone who works here, can do something about this or at least refer me to someone who can. This effort is probably in vain too, however it encompasses genuine distress that I have endured for the last 4 fortnights.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing , well managed and time tabled by manager Emma !!! Keep up Good up the good work .

Negative experience: Signed my child for a Junior membership on Sunday evening so he could actively start going to the gym. Now what I'm failing to understand is why the last sessions for Juniors is 15:50pm . Obviously juniors go to school, and we all know schools close at 3pm. Now it takes my child a good hour to get home so how please how is 15:50pm justifiable?? Do juniors even go to this gym or is it just for the students?? Please someone explain, bare in mind I've been on hold to them (as I type this review) for 34 minutes still no answer . Am I phoning the HMRC or something??

Positive experience: Great venue, well organised, kind and friendly staff, did not give 5 stars because of the lockers, only few available by pool side, the locks in most did not work. You can lose a few coins before you find a lock that works

Fantastic experience: I loved it amazingly my best activity ever since in my life , and I have never been able to swim through when i was born to now 21 years old and today I have learnt to swim for the first time with my own 2 friends teaching me how to swim and we was in the swimming pool for 1hr and I had been swimming on my own and going under the water for the first time and I have only just been learnt how to swim in 1day only ❤, thank you all I am loving it forever xxxx

Negative experience: Do not bother. I have been going here for a year. 95% of The team are lovely but there are 2 who inexcusably rude all the time. Also, there is no lane management and it’s a free for all. Fast & slow & medium swimmers mix in all Lanes the when you try and move so Your not pressured out the way the life guard shouts aggressively ( guy with the wording tattoo on his lower arm. I explained that he should ideally have fast swimmers in a fast lane now a medium and his response was. “ it’s busy, what am I suppose to do” Another 2 swimmers sighted there agreement about how poor the lane situation is here. I have 2 swims left and after that will spend my money at a better facility Must add that aside from this guy the staff are lovely but there needs to be serious attention to the lanes If you have medium fast very fast lanes then as people to stick to them based on their capabilities

Negative experience: I joined for a month and was no where near satisfied by the condition of the machines and weight lighting equipment, it was rusty and needed changing. there was not many machines to use as most of the machines focused on the same areas. I never used the swimming pool it didn't seem very inviting, so for £24.99 a month I don't believe this will be your happiest purchase. undoubtably wouldn't suggest this gym to my friends.

Positive experience: Went to the aquatics with my son and granddaughters. It is well organised and feels safe. Pity the children's pool isn't open but even so we had a good time

Fantastic experience: My adult daughter, who has Down's syndrome, has been coming here for some years and has missed it during lockdown closure. The new system, which requires online booking, was problematic in setting up. Ash, who works for them (and used to be a lifeguard who kindly looked out for my daughter) was extremely helpful in both email and telephone in resolving the issue for us. We couldn't have done it without him, so many thanks, Ash.

Positive experience: It's a decent place with 2 Olympic size pools, 3 different gym areas and multiple changing areas. The gym area can get quick busy at peak times (I've found it to be around 5-7pm).

Negative experience: Good workout place with a large pool and lots of equipment. However, just now they sent a long email encouraging members to come in during a global pandemic in which social distancing is needed to save lives and keep the NHS from crashing. Horrifically irresponsible.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities both inside and outside the pool area, staff are great every time we go and are very knowledgable as well as understanding to our needs. A place I would recommend (and already have done) again and again. Thank you very much

Negative experience: UNHYGIENIC, concerning that the sauna has been reported to be upgraded.Staff friendly but this was the only good aspect- smells, dirty and not an expert but there were insects in the lockers and changing rooms, BIG ones, wished I had taken a photo but hurried home and as did not think about leaving a review. Will not be going back again! Sad that this is the quality Mancunians who wish to support local facilities have to endure!

Positive experience: Great venue and facilities. Went there then the pool was closed and I think they are doing a refurb but the gym facilities are great. If I lived closer I would consider having this as my regular gym.

Positive experience: Gym: good facilities, got all the basics, could do with a bit more cleaning (no self help cleaning facilities to wipe off oneself after usage) and they don't ever seem to turn on the AC :/ Pool: clean pool, can get busy at times though. Shower and changing room could do with more tlc. There are NO private showers! Health suite: poor! Badly maintained (steam room smells and looks rather dirty), the two dry saunas are almost the same temperature, the whole area around doesn't look well looked after

Positive experience: Gym and pool are decent but changing rooms are tiny, the shower is very weak and you need to pay to use the hairdryer!! £25 a month but you have to leave with wet hair?
