ONE NK: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great centre. I attend the site frequently to use the gym and find the staff helpful and friendly. I have not been sure on how to use some of the equipment in the gym and the staff have not only shown me how to use and have also recommended how to get the best out of my workouts. Leisure centre is clean, friendly and very welcoming. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had a great time at family fun session with my son today. We emailed Better on the day who confirmed the water slide would be operating in the session, so we were surprised to be told when we arrived at the centre that it wasn’t working! However the response of the staff to our understandable dissatisfaction was excellent and the flume was opened so everyone in the session young and old had lots of fun (it’s a really fast flume ride!), so thanks to all at OneNK!
Positive experience: Called to enquire about taking my toddler granddaughter swimming. £7.85 for 50 minutes! If she were 3, or older, it would be £11.85!
Fantastic experience: Oke
Negative experience: My daughter has been attending swimming lessons for years but she has not moved up and at the same level for at least three years. Whenever I ask they say that my girl has weak legs. Teachers don't give any regular updates and assessments are done by someone else who has no idea about their swimming abilities. They don't push the kids and teachers keep on changing.
Negative experience: Poor customer service when you call you get put through to BELFAST call centre who can’t speak English very well and can’t get through to my local centre so a waste of time don’t use go else where
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great staff always willing to help . Very clean
Fantastic experience: Best Gym in NH
Negative experience: Terrible service. Ripped off on food. Staff helping themselves without paying unbelievable so rude. Asked for refund. Don't give refunds. Told to eat chocolate and crisps in sports centre!! Joke
Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly staff, lovely and clean, always see the lifeguards cleaning so well done to them!
Fantastic experience: I have been going swimming there with my daughter for years and joined the gym a few months ago. The pool is great and changing rooms are always clean. The showers have recently been fixed and all lockers work. The classes are excellent especially dance and aqua. All staff and members are very friendly and helpful. A very inclusive place to exercise and have a good time.
Fantastic experience: Very Friendly staff. Very Helpful Reception Staff. Any queries complaints re lack of toilet rolls or empty soap dispenser have been dealt with quickly n efficiently. Help given to those needing help navigating round the Better app..to book a class or pay membership etc. Getting more n more different classes and new instructors being trained to deal with the number of classes needed. Instructors are brilliant n so helpful in improving health,posture, balance,fitness. There is also so much camaradie in the classes. Made some lovely friends n we chat over coffee( n often cakes )in the cafe after. The new LiNKup scheme on 1st Thursday of the month has been a hit too..Over coffee we do quizzes or craftwork for Charity.. .or sell baking for Centre's latest Charity Fundraiser. I have done my 5k Swimathon for Cancer Research n Marie Curie at a Swim Fit session allowing me a whole lane last year. Shows how obliging they are. I definitely get good value for my membership as i do lots of classes n swimming a week. All Classes are included in the membership.
Fantastic experience: Posting on behalf of a friend. 'I would like to say how helpful NK has been to me after losing my mum and my job at the same time. The classes are amazing, swimming I love, Pilates helps me so much, the gym I really enjoy but the dance classes with Bryony is by far my favourite, a real feel good factor. Thank you NK. -Carole'
Fantastic experience: Love NK friendly helpful staff Great classes especially Dance ❤️helped me meet some lovely people since moving to Lincoln
Positive experience: Really enjoy the classes which are varied and well attended, great instructors and important social meetings. Made some lovely friends over the years.
Fantastic experience: Aqua amazing really polite helpful staff great place to exercise for all abilities could manage without the place very important to our community
Fantastic experience: I use the facilities at OneNK on a daily basis - I swim, do aquafit and use the gym, all of which I thoroughly enjoy. A lot of my enjoyment is of course down to the wonderful team at One NK but also to the excellent pool, upto date gym equipment and our trainers. Would not choose to go anywhere else for my exercise and wellbeing.
Negative experience: Yuck! Been to their ‘leisure’ pool twice, 9 months apart, and each time our little one ended up getting conjunctivitis from the disgusting dirty water. The pool has dirt lying on the bottom and there is a lot of hair and other gross things floating around in it. Never going back again.
Negative experience: Absolutely useless place. My partner pays a monthly fee to swim there and three times now in the past month she has booked a time slot online to swim, only to arrive and to be told swimming for members is cancelled because they have reserved the pool for a school. Perhaps they should update their website to advise people that the pool is not available for members to book a time for swimming to prevent people wasting their time. It could be worse though, as next time she turned up for a swim and jumped in the deep end she probably would have ended up with a broken leg because someone forgot to put the water in. Needless to say, she has cancelled her membership.
Positive experience: Daughter loves it here, clean changing rooms plenty of space for families, although a couple of showers, hairdryers and locker keys and straps broken and never fixed in a few years, swimming experience great with lots for kids to play with
Positive experience: Unfriendly staff member in reception, muddy changing room, but little girl was very hapy in swimming pool, nice splash area. Will never go again.
Fantastic experience: Sports facilities all in one
Fantastic experience: Spot on!
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing place to swim and it's such cold friendly and for all ages
Negative experience: Went swimming and the pool was freezing no way was it the right temperature even with swimming still felt cold asked one of the life guards what pool temperature was and she didn't know just said it is always cold and getting a shower afterwards having 4 showers out of order meaning you have to wait would expect more for the cost and you only get 50 minutes swimming
Fantastic experience: Friendliest staff ever in the swimming pool and reception with our son and his disabilities
Fantastic experience: Been a member here for a number of years now. The staff are friendly and always seek to solve any queries or issues I may have. The changing rooms are always clean and tidy with staff always available to help if needed. 10/10 leisure centre !
Thankyou for your lovely review Emily! :)
Fantastic experience: I visited to OneNK for the first time the other day and the staff members were so welcoming and informative, especially Cole! This place offers such a diverse range of activities; it was also really easy to find and super hygienic.
Thankyou Danii We will pass this onto the staff involved and we're glad to hear you enjoyed your first time at our centre!
Fantastic experience: Great centre, all staff provide great customer service. The kids love to swim here. Always clean and child friendly.
Negative experience: I feel a bit frustrated with the lack of flexibility for the swim for fitness. Always seems to be a family swim, or swimming lessons, or closing earlier so limited for swim for fitness. When I finish work on weekends nothing for swim for fitness just open for all and it closes early. I don't even have access.
Hi Sophie, Thankyou for your review We will take this into consideration when we re-evaluate the timetable!
Fantastic experience: I popped in the other day for a look around and cole I believe was the assistant manager showed me about. Was so helpful and nice would really recommend visiting and also cole!!!
Thanks Abigail for the lovely review, We will pass this on! :)
Negative experience: very disappointed is a understatement. Pool was freezing, so kids couldn't enjoy it. lifeguards on this morning was rude. Couldn't wait to leave! waste of £30
Good Evening Mia, our main pool today have been 29 degrees and our learner pool has been a lovely 30.5 degrees, I'm sorry if it has felt cold to you! We hope you have a better experience next time, feel free to email us at [email protected] to discuss any issues
Negative experience: Called up and asked if they had swim nappies, they said yes, got there no swim nappies, the person at the call centre just plain lied lol if they had just said no I would have got some from elsewhere and this review would be different. If I owned a swimming pool, I'd defined stock some stuff people need just for the sake of the sales, let alone the service. Nappies are non-perishable, easy to procure, and fundamental to swimming hygiene, so there really is no excuse for not having stock. Also, the kids' pool was murky, probably meaning the levels were out and there was not enough chlorine. 02/04/23 11:50-12:40 session. other than that the kids loved it!
Hi Anthony we are sorry for the swim nappie confusion, we ran out of stock last week and we have some on order, I assume the customer service centre just got muddled up, apologies! Glad to hear your kids loved the centre
Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff, would highly recommend
Thank you for the lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Excellent Services, highly recommended this place.
Thanks for the review Abi!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere in the centre! The staff & managment are all very friendly & as well as all the available sport options!
Thank you for your review Michelle, i will pass the kind words onto the team!
Positive experience: Decent facilities but not great. It is expensive for what it is Staff seem to have low morale, but are helpful
Thanks for the Review Mark and thanks for acknowledging our helpful staff, if you need anything else please let us know!
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff who are happy to help, since returning after Covid the pools are so much warmer and the place is spotless. Will definitely be back
Thank you for your kind review Emma!
Negative experience: Not been since before covid, £7.70 per person for general swim! For that price I’d expect a fairly decent temperature in the pool. Incorrect.. after swimming for 45 minutes I still felt cold. Wanted a hot shower. All the cubicles were locked! So all that is available in the unisex changing rooms (family village they call it!)were the row of push button ones. With nowhere to even hang your towel up on these ones whilst trying wash yourself with shower gel (if you go take some of your own as none is provided in a dispenser) and holding a towel is just shambolic. It was an ordeal, and that was me on my own let alone taking the kids. Won’t return (can’t afford to!!)
Hi Jonathan thank you for your review, we are currently in the process of making our showers better for our customers - sorry this led to your experience being poor. the utility crisis has seen many leisure centres forced to close due to simply not being able to afford to run, this sadly means we had to increase our price in order to stay open and help our community keep active. we hope you understand. if you feel this has not answered your questions fully please feel free to pop into the centre for a chat and we would be happy to discuss!
Fantastic experience: Used the sports hall to play badminton. It's easy to book online. Facilities are good no complaints. You can hire racquets and shuttlecocks for free.
thank you for the kind words - we hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoying coming, the classes are good sizes, never over crowded, easy to book. The coaches are really supportive, Kelly is absolutely amazing. Looking forward to more classes. Really friendly place
Thank you for your kind words Vicky!
Negative experience: Kids pool was so cold my daughter cried when she got in. I mentioned it to the lifeguard and she mumbled something and gave me a look. We ended up in the castle play area which was nice and warm, but it meant that all parents of small children were forced to go in there and no one was in the kids pool.
Hi Steve - thank you for your feedback. would it be possible to drop an email to [email protected] so we can discuss this further?
Fantastic experience: Brilliant facilities. Great people. Special thank you to Molly … Swimming pool just right for pottering up and down and having the craic…
Hi Grahame thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot for staff!
Positive experience: I’ve started bringing my son here now for a while. My son wanted to go down the slide but was too scared, because of his height I wasn’t allowed to go with him. He was 8 the first time we tried. I thought that was poor of the staff to not accommodate his fear. I’ve since gone down with him when eventually someone see sense and he now loves it. I really like it here and the staff (apart from what I’ve mentioned) are really good and polite and in my opinion, there is a good amount of lifeguards watching. I think the price is good and facilities are more than adequate. Parking is sometimes difficult but it’s not a negative as there is only so much space. And nothing more can be done. The only thing I’d like to see is better clothes hooks in the changing rooms and raised water mats on the floor in the cubicles (if you understand what I mean) as the floors can be grubby, which is understandable when we all wear our shoes going into them. Lastly, my son loves it here.
thank you so much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Great facility for the local area. The staff are always on hand to help out and give tours for new members and are very knowledgeable in most areas :) Love the swimming pool, and there are lots of different session to cater for everyone’s needs. The new gym equipment that was put in recently is also a really good selling point for the centre as it increases what you can do!
thanks Katie!
Fantastic experience: The leisure centre staff was really welcoming towards my younger brother and I when we went in the fun swim. They ensured that the pool was a safe and fun environment and the flume itself sets it apart from any nearby pool
thank you!
Positive experience: Go swimming here with my 5 yr old Good fun, not exp and the flume is a winner with the little one
thanks for taking the time to review us Jason!
Fantastic experience: Nice leisure centre, helpful staff
thank you Jonathan!
Fantastic experience: Nice staff and great facilities with much flexibility
thank you for your nice words
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff couldnt do enough for me and my son especially Liam ( an absolute legend)
thank you so much for your review - i will pass it on!
Positive experience: Went for our first visit today because of the slide that is advertised on their website. The screen for the slide is not working so it’s just a normal flume but was good. I think there is a health and safety issue to be sorted regarding the slide, a member of staff stands at the door by the pool and allows 1 person to walk up the stairs to the slide one at a time. When I walked up to the start of the slide I was shocked to see that there was no safety net around the side of the staircase, as young children walk up the stairs on their own and if they were to climb over the side, it’s a few floors drop to the bottom. There should be a member of staff at the top of the stairs to supervise young children. The swimming pool was very cold and then the showers were very hot, people were not letting their children shower because how hot they were. Please can something be done for the safety of the children walking up the stairs to the slide.
Hi K, thank you for your review I am glad you enjoyed our flume - its the only full sized flume in North Kesteven! our handrails and barriers for the flume steps are at such a height that it would be tricky for children to try and climb over, we take safety very seriously at ONENK and our flume riders have to be over 1.2m to ride the flume alone without a parent. Thanks for your feedback about the pool temperature and shower temperature - it has now been addressed
Positive experience: It could be nicer place if would be look after properly.. When you coming in to the pool changing room you can smell urine very strong.. Not clean there too.. Horrible.. Shame..
Hi Sylwia - if you have a spare moment we would love to hear from you at [email protected]
Negative experience: Can swim 25 metres and wouldn’t let us in the deep end I’m not happy. We were diving in and everything
Hi Ella, thank you for your feedback - please feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] if you would like to discuss swim tests
Positive experience: Busier than I expected considering there was supposedly limited numbers. No one adhering to the cv19 rules that they request. The flume is ok but the camera thing broken. The pool life guards seemed friendly and helpful. The place was relatively clean considering no one was taking their shoes off before you walk around the changing room. It's looking a bit tired in places but overall a good experience.
thank you for the kind review
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, staff all friendly and welcoming. Pool was smashing xoxoxo
we are glad you enjoyed the pool Lauren!
Fantastic experience: Great place to train. Not to busy, and all the equipment your likely to need.
thanks stephen!
Fantastic experience: Good swim
thank you for the kind review Paul!
Positive experience: Good
thank you Andrew, we hope your experience was pleasant
Negative experience: Showers are so poor that I wouldn't go swimming there again
Hi Julia - please feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] to discuss this - we are keen to hear from you!
Fantastic experience: Great gym
we are very glad you enjoy our gym!
Negative experience: What an absolute shambles this (once nice)place has sadly become. The changing rooms i wouldnt put my chickens in without sterilising fully they are awful. Some of the staff are actually nice but the rest are kids all congregating in reception chatting.. Ignoring customers. One of the male lifeguards who looks about 12 covered head to toe in tattoos was just stood staring angrily at people. Its without doubt the least welcoming place ive been to in a very long time Safe to say i shall not be going again. Avoid if you can.
Hi Jo - please feel free to email us at [email protected] to address your concerns - we pride ourselves on a clean,safe,fun centre
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, super helpful and friendly staff. Lots of facilities for disabled people including showers, lockers and hoists. Definitely recommend!
thank you for your nice words!
Fantastic experience: If you are over 50, you must come along, actively on a Tuesday badminton, tennis, table tennis and bowls. On Thursday morning walking football boy and girls. Next Friday as Tuesday morning. All start 10:15. Really good fun and friendly two pound fifty a section. I will be 69 next brithday, and can't tell you how much I enjoy going. The venue is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. I am still going to all the sessions which are great fun.
thank you Malcolm, its good to see that you are still returning a year later and still beating people at badminton!
Negative experience: Appalling customer service, always palmed off by staff on reception including management. Details can be taken 20x over and still no call back. E-mailed the top 2 swim instructors nearly a week ago and surprisingly still no reply
Hi Phil, sorry to hear about this. we have since changed staffing. i hope you visit again soon
Positive experience: Good size pool, reasonably clean. Water was colder than expected. Not too busy either.
thank you for the review martin! we have improved since 2021 so come and check us out!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant swim school for children of all abilities.
thank you for your nice review!
Negative experience: Positive: Great one instructor (Nikki) Negative: Very limited number of classes. Staff at reception unfortunately useless, many times they would leave a gate open saying that everyones’s attendance was marked on the system and then I would get penalty charges for no shows (3 in two weeks). Impossible to freeze membership, staff at reception lost my letters confirming work trip despite multiple chasing. In the end they simply said it is not possible to freeze membership so I better cancel it (which they did for me). One week later I got an email from head office confirming freezing the membership. Sadly the worst gym experience I had.
Hi Kamila - sorry you had a bad experience with us! we have reinvigorated our class offering recently and our freezing process is a lot faster now
Positive experience: Went at 630am for a swim. Lovely time of the day to go as it's quiet and not crowded
thank you for your kind words, we hope you enjoyed your swim
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and clean
thank you for the very kind review Jess
Positive experience: Good value. Friendly staff. Could do with revamp.
thank you for taking the time to review us!
Positive experience: Shower didn't work in pool changing room and pool had plastic bits in
Hi Eve - this is strange! please feel free to email us at [email protected] about this
Negative experience: Today, me and my friend visited to play badminton. This was after trying to phone for three days but with no answer ! We decided to go there anyway in the hope of being able to play. As we walked into the reception, there was a group of five teenage staff all sat gossiping amongst themselves. After a good five minutes, when they finally noticed us stood there. They informed us that they were not taking cash due to contamination. What was so ironic was that none of them had a facemask on ! Absolutely no good vibes about this place, and will not be returning.
Hi Alex - sorry you had a bad experience with us at this time. please email us at [email protected] and allow us to have a chat with you
Negative experience: Can't book online for the swim for all and can't call the gym directly to book. Brilliant.
Hi Danny, sorry you were struggling with the booking system! it is much cleaner and more efficient now - give it a go!
Fantastic experience: Gym staff are excellent and couldn't be more helpful.
thank you for your kind words about our staff tony. we appreciate it
Positive experience: Good gym and excellent staff
Negative experience: A business doesn't exist without staff to answer the phones! The automated message sucks as it's nearly 2 minutes of useless information that has no relevance!! Your customers want to speak to you to find out about your facilities but the automated service and lack of been able to speak to anyone is unbelievable! Maybe you could address this as I'm not the only one complaining about your lack of customer service and the ability to pick up a phone.
Negative experience: Cold...the water is very cold, some staff are unhelpful, there is even tissue at the bottom of the pool, the changing rooms are cold too, do not visit the pool.
Fantastic experience: Great helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Good gym excellent facilities ⛹️ the equipment is very good
Positive experience: Good gym never too full , plenty of equipment ,car park better now pot holes filled in.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities
Fantastic experience: Great place, for fun, training, sport.
Negative experience: very very cold . water was cold . changing room even colder
Negative experience: The swimming pool is good. However, the timetable online doesn’t match to what they run with at the centre, and when you try and ring reception there is no answer or it just rings out.
Negative experience: Unfriendly staff in the swimming pool
Negative experience: Whats the point of having a phone number if you never answer
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing especially Nick Price!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Staff always friendly
Positive experience: Nice to see the parking area sorted out no massive pot holes!! Entry to swimming £8 for adult and 1 over 5. Changing area fairly clean. Great area for toddlers did see few moldy bits tho round both pools and the interactive part of the water slide wasnt working so coudnt select music or have pictures sent to email this hasnt been working now for about 8 months, fairly dissapointed about that considering they boast about it being the uks first interactive water slide ! Will be visting again hopefully it will be fixed for summer holidays.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. The gym instructors are so friendly and motivational.
Negative experience: The facilities are decent enough but its let down a little by the gruff and painfully slow staff at reception and the car park is actually dangerous and likely to do serious damage to your vehicle and thats not an exaggeration, you could get strong legs in the gym and just as easily break them on the way back to the car in one of the cavernous pot holes!
Negative experience: NEVER answer the phone, car park and lighting shocking state of repairs, havent even been inside as outside puts me off
Negative experience: Joined on a 1 month trial in October, received no paperwork, and then continued to have a direct debit taken out for an extra 2 months. The facilities are okay, but if you want to take part in any of the popular classes, you have to book as soon as they become available the week prior which isn’t any use for somebody wanting a bit of flexibility. When I cancelled the direct debit having had further payments incorrectly taken, despite me informing the gym in the December that I had only signed up for 1 month, and being assured that it was their error and I would receive a refund for the 2 incorrectly debited payments, I am still to receive any refund. To add insult to injury, their direct debit collection company contacted me for non payment of direct debit in January, despite having been informed in the December that my membership had been cancelled. Be careful when signing up to or being offered any “trial” memberships.
Fantastic experience: Great place to be :)
Negative experience: Appaling. Doesnt open to public til 1pm. Main pool is around 29° body temp is 36-37°. Everyone complained how cold! Cold makes yoy wanna pee.. suprise suprise.. toilets in changing rooms out of order for men and women! No explaination, no alternate, no provision, no apology! Ill let you guess what the alternate was...in the pool...AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! Its not even 1 Star come on nk, £12..its really not worth it!
Negative experience: Absolutely shocking if i could have given this place 0 stars i would not hesitate! Customer service is shocking every time i go i get charged more and more each time. Started at £1 a head last year and is now £30 for 1 hour! Utterly preposterous
