Fantastic experience: Took my 5 month old baby girl swimming for the first time and it was lovely. Called ahead and a nice receptionist helped get me booked in. All of the staff here were really friendly. Changing room was clean too. We’ll definitely be back :)

Negative experience: The swimming pool is terrible,to be honest it needs renovation.. Hair dryer doesn't work! The receptionist told me that she doesn't know when it will be fixed, and she knows it's broken! The women's changing room was full of 7-9 years old boys with their mothers! (Their dad was in the pool too.) I do not recommend this place!

Negative experience: The swimming facility is Good! The gym on the other hand is not great. For £30pm i'd reccommend looking into better gyms. The gym is a total of about 15 machines and a weight station. Half of the gym is cardio machines which are working and well taken care of by the gym members, the other half are upper body and leg machines, the problem is all of the leg machines (3 machines) are out of order and in the 2 months that I have been going to this gym they have not been fixed or working. The upper body machines are outdated, rusty and covered in dirt as they are not cleaned or maintained.

sasha 1 year ago

Negative experience: The website is impossible to navigate.. can not find anywhere on it where I can buy a day pass for the gym. Upon calling multiple times no one answers the phone. A shame because this is my local centre and I don’t drive so it’s a pain to get to other ones.

Emma 4 years ago

Positive experience: So nice and clean around the pool you can see the difference from pre lockdown! Guys at the desk were helpful sorting us out a card. I do think the changing room could do with a tidy up and some better drainage as if your not careful you stand in what seems like dirty water this is in the individual changing rooms. The baby changing table is rusty and isn't level dips down towards the floor feels very unstable really needs to be looked at!

マックスブラックけん たっkっゆ げいにん あだ 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very nice and pleasantly quiet place, often go there to play basketball. Staff are all very kind and helpful (especially Bob). Court quality is decent, a little creaky, but for the prices, it is very valuable. Swimming facilities are also very good, a small, shallow pool for the younger children and a larger pool around 15m. Very family friendly and recommend to all

Fantastic experience: Nice place ware we meet up on Sunday's playing volleyball!

Sam Tarbuck 7 years ago

Negative experience: Very out of date and in need of a refurb badly . You can't really call it a gym either as it's so small. The changing rooms are like something from the 1990's . The pool is ok but again small and you can only use it at certain times and your not allowed access to certain changing rooms during school times as it's shared with the school

Emma Prior 7 years ago

Positive experience: Staff are always friendly and very helpful, the centre could do with an update though. Great place to go if you want to workout, without posers hanging around.

Justin Al-Soufi 7 years ago

Negative experience: Updated.. Grotty place is even more grotty now, and the head office is inep and steals money. only saving grace is swimming teacher is good

matthew dunn 7 years ago

Negative experience: Pretty run down neglected leisure centre. Has loads of potential but poor management let it down. Fusion leisure plough 1.2 million into garrons but leave the local centres to rot. Old poorly maintained equipment and poor hygiene .

rosieh77 7 years ago

Positive experience: As far as swimming goes it's fine if all you want to do is swim but the little pool doesn't have any activities or toys at all so it's pretty boring for kids.

C L 8 years ago

Positive experience: I went today and there was brown/orange scum around the edge of the pools, like when the bath needs a clean except it's a massive bath and that scum has come from hundreds and hundreds of strangers. The first 3 (very old looking) lockers I tried ate my pound coins. The whole place needs a good scrub and a lick of paint. On the plus side, the teenagers running the place were all very nice and helpful.

Rhus Pegurm 8 years ago

Joe “JRWolf93” Ross 8 years ago
