Forum Leisure Centre

Fantastic experience: Andy at the Forum Leisure Centre is a fantastic, patient and dedicated swimming coach. I am a late learner and he has been so committed to helping me learn. I would highly recommend Andy and the swimming lessons at the Forum.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been taking swimming lessons at Forum Leisure Centre, and it’s been a fantastic experience. The instructors are patient and knowledgeable, helping me build confidence and improve my technique. The pool is clean, well-maintained, and the class sizes are just right for personalized attention. I highly recommend it for any adult looking to learn or refine their swimming skills!

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly approach during swimming sessions. Andy, my swimming teacher, uses effective methods and understands that every individual learns in a different way. I never feel unnecessary pressure or stress; Andy makes sure that everyone feels comfortable. Helpful staff and clean 25m pool. I very much enjoy swimming at Forum Leisure Centre.

Fantastic experience: Great pool. Andy’s been super helpful and you make progress quickly — would recommend

Fantastic experience: FABOULOUS AND SOO CLEAN

Positive experience: My daughter as been going here for swimming lessons for just under a year, she throughly enjoys her lessons and as enjoyed being taught by the various teachers as she has moved through stages. Her new teacher Hannah is brilliant, my daughter as only been in her group for a few weeks but is really comfortable and she always comments after each lesson how much she has enjoyed the lesson and how proud she is of herself. Highly recommended if you are thinking about swimming lessons for your children or even yourself.

Positive experience: Enjoy the lane swimming. Kayleigh on reception is wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant swimming pool my children have all had swimming lessons here and my daughter who is 12months old has lessons with Allison and she is amazing my little girl loves her and we love our Friday swim lessons definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Allison is just the one you will ever need for any swimming lessons. As an adult beginner, she has thought me how to swim from start in no time. my confidence has changed in a few hours lessons with her. I will always fully recommend Allison. She is super nice, direct and professional.

Fantastic experience: My child attends swimming lessons good price brilliant loves going staff are brilliant

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff who always keep the centre nice and clean!

Fantastic experience: My kids do swimming and the staff are really brilliant in what they're doing.

Fantastic experience: I have a gold card membership, I come here every week for gym and swim and it’s definitely worth the price, lovely, friendly staff and an overall good experience!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service, amazing people would definitely come again

Negative experience: Today I call for discouse for my daughter cancellation at 16:00 o clock on 05/09/2024 The staff person talking with me over the phone not haven respect its ridiculous not good service they hanged up the phone before I finished talking

Fantastic experience: Great place to take the kids. Good atmosphere

Negative experience: DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD COME TO THIS NUSTY PLACE. After my child's fifth period today, I assisted my child get out of the shower. Because I couldn't hold my child to get dressed on the other side, so I put them on the chair. Not even a minute later, I turned around to get them, then everything was thrown on the floor with dirt and hair all over. I literally couldn't understand what kind of human would do that And another parent witnessed the whole thing and alerted me that was made by the cleaner! My child has got eczema and sensitive skin, this cleaner’s behaviour makes me very uncomfortable! WE WILL NOT COME BACK AGAIN！！！ THIS PLACE EVEN NOT WORTH A SATRT. THANKS

Negative experience: It is not good place if child is starting as being to swimming the staff are not helpful the price is expensive but they just give them just 25 minutes

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to be with so many lovely people.

Negative experience: The staff are very rude and not kind, and they treat you as if you are not welcome. A smile is free.

Positive experience: Not good as I thought it was

Negative experience: I am not from leeds and found this remarkably hard to find. Parking was a nightmare and even locals (when asking for directions) had no idea where it was. I went to play badminton and whilst I’m a novice, I know that the nets are supposed to be properly tied and they was not. I will certainly not be attending here again.

Negative experience: Good facilities, but the sports centre is always fully booked up with block bookings, customer service is slow and not very helpful and there's no online booking system which is pretty poor for 2024.

Negative experience: Pool closed without providing any information on opening for ages and charging the same amount. Website is not updated with closing time properly, I went to gym today at 2, but was not allowed entry stating, it closes by 2 on Saturday. Couple of my friends did not like the overall services and behaviour of centre and cancelled membership in group.

Negative experience: Pool still closed (has been for months)

Negative experience: Truly dreadful if you're looking to go to the gym, the person at the desk needs to let you in and there's never anyone there, they don't think it's a problem either, also theres not been any changing rooms for months and the pool is randomly closed until further notice

Fantastic experience: Pleasant staff, nice quiet gym, 25m clean pool and good range of classes. Swimming teachers are friendly and experienced.

Positive experience: I take my kids to the centre for swimming every weekend. The teachers are friendly and helpful, and the classes are not too large for group sessions, and you can ask for private lessons if you need extra help. There are also karate and a host of other activities available at the centre. Indoor football, basketball, and an equipped gym with various classes! The only gripe is that the building is so thick that you have poor mobile reception indoors.

Negative experience: Customer service is shocking!The pool was closed they did not contact all the customers!I contacted them on IG no answer!Absolutely a joke!

Fantastic experience: All the facilities you could require. Staff were awesome and helped us out on arrival. Changing rooms for after the game were fantastic. Definitely going to be using all the time now.

Fantastic experience: Staff are always great

Negative experience: It’s joke! water always cold there was my 2 years baby was exiting to go and after crying because couldn’t swim in cold water. Joke joke joke ! Outside pool is cold as well changing room always dirty floor disgusting

Fantastic experience: Staff are fantastic and friendly, wide range of classes for all abilities with brilliant instructors - something for everyone. Gym equipment is extensive and good chunk of it is brand new. Fantastic value for money.

Fantastic experience: ... looking forward to getting back in the pool after the hols..... I always enjoy my swim here. Also staff are helpful and they keep things clean, good value and handy for town aswell.

Fantastic experience: New gym areas are well equipped, very clean, and nearly always available. Reasonably priced for the variety of activities from gym and classes, to swimming pool and racquet sports.

Negative experience: A member of staff was incredibly rude and confrontational to me today as I went to collect my child at the poolside. She was verbally aggressive towards me infront of my children. I made an attempt to resolve this by reporting to the Deputy Manager where I found that rather than admit to her disgusting behaviour she lied about the whole encounter. I am extremely disappointed at the leisure centers handling of this ordeal. Especially when they are supposed to be wardens protecting families that use the facilities against these sorts of encounters. Rather than properly investigate the issue by asking any of the numerous eye witnesses; parents, staff members and children that were present at the scene and ready to coroborate my experience, they chose to "take my number and ring me later".

Negative experience: No good standard for price

Positive experience: We visited yesterday with two young children, and we really enjoyed it. All of the facilities were clean and tidy, and quite a good size, the price was good for us too. A pair of goggles were even provided after my daughter had forgotten hers, which was so lovely. There didn't appear to be a lifeguard on duty, although there was a member of staff providing swimming lessons. The security staff who allow entry to the building was for some reason, extremely rude when allowing entry and the staff were aware of this. It's a good alternative to going to a normal leisure centre, however Leeds City council leisure centre might provide a little extra space to move around in.

Positive experience: Maybe you could leave squeegee mops in the swimming pool changing rooms so people might clean up after themselves? Lovely staff

Fantastic experience: Ale cool

Fantastic experience: Nice, affordable pool for lane swimming, especially during the day if you can get there, app to book swim times is easy enough to use and staff are generally friendly. Only major criticism is the lack of lane swimming options on Saturdays, only been one lane open for lane swimming on the last two Saturdays I've been, with private lessons in all other parts of the pool. Makes the one lane swimming option more busy and stressful than it might otherwise be. Some weekdays have the pool consumed with school lessons too, which is fine but later evening swimming times would be welcome to give more options.

Fantastic experience: This is for sporty house. Indoor swimming pool gym.

Fantastic experience: Oh so quiet

Fantastic experience: Bit dated but lovely staff.

Positive experience: Okay but nothing special.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility

Negative experience: Pool change rooms never clean always dirty floor and lots of hair in shower grates.

Negative experience: Three weeks ago I bought family membership and already cancelled it. Most of staff are really rude. At second visit I arqued with one of trainers who kicked me and my 4 years old autistic son of changing room because we used it while school lesson wasn't finished. We even weren't informed about it. Furthermore kids swimming pool are too cold, changing rooms without heating and floors always wet where is the risk to slip.

Negative experience: Very basic swimming pool (I haven't used the gym). Pretty busy daily until 8 pm (due to swimming lessons). Despite the recent refurbishment the changing rooms not really improved. They kept old lockers that are key operated (you need to leave £5 deposit at the reception to have a key). No drinking water facility at the pool. There is constantly standing water in the dressing room and management/staff seems not to be bother to mop it regularly, especially at peak times. This is health and safety issue and they just ask for a slip/trip to happen. If you use the car park you need to show your ID 3 times (at the gate, by the main door and then at the reception). The only positive fact is the monthly swim pass is only £17.

Positive experience: Good place for swimming

Positive experience: Very good facilities and close to Leeds city centre. Facilities include gym, sports hall, swimming. The prices are actually quite affordable and the staff are really helpful too. They give you a tour if you wanted to just pop on and have a look. You also get swimming lessons for all ages and could either be individual private lessons or group sessions

Fantastic experience: You will get the cheapest swimming lessons in Leeds here

Positive experience: It's not bad

Fantastic experience: Kids have their swimming lessons here on a Saturday, they love it. It will be even better when they refurbish the changing rooms.

Fantastic experience: there is a lovely lady hairdresser in the building

Positive experience: Decent

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean place. Very affordable facilities. Staff are very welcoming.

Negative experience: Not a place for me

Positive experience: A bit dated but does the job.

Positive experience: from 2 months old closed pool for small children, unfortunately, the subscription paid and do not want to pay back the money other than that very often open windows make it very cold

Negative experience: By far the dirtiest swimming baths I’ve had the misfortune of using. Showers, baby changer, benches all broken. Tiles which should be white but look like something is growing on them. To cap it off the windows have been open for the last month in the pool area. Today it was 11c on the poolside. Why / how they had sense not to close the pool I don’t know. Lifeguard sat there with coat and blankets on. Absolute joke of a pool.

Fantastic experience: Aslamualkum my brothers.This place is good for badminton & swimming plus all sorts of sports so come if you like and be fit like me in sha Allah.

Negative experience: Venu chercher un document pour l'inscription, jamais ouvert la porte.

Positive experience: The staff team is a little slow but nice facility

Positive experience: My child doing karate class here. I give 4 stars for mostly disabled car parking is occupied by others.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and lovely staff

Negative experience: You can't pay a you swim. There's no signs to it. General waste of time

Positive experience: A good gym for it's size. Some great classes n good pool. Overall very good

Fantastic experience: Good gym at the lower part of the building a sports hall badminton table tennis table lockers and small swimming pool also plenty of lockers you leave a fiver Aza deposit and get it back wen you take key back showers either side and squash courts

Negative experience: Not at all transparent...makes excuses to turn back members to avoid them from the pool... can also be due to discriminations and biases

Positive experience: I try to use the gym at least two to three times a week and go to at least one class a week.

Positive experience: Swimming area is clean but changing rooms are sometimes not clean, with hair all over the floor.

Negative experience: Manager is very abrupt and not at all child friendly. I was feeding a baby in the cafe with a bottle and was asked to leave when he cried because some staff were having a meeting g in the public cafe and was told children were not allowed even though there was a kiddy club for swimming and they did a kids menu. Got nowhere when complained to his superior.

Positive experience: NHS and DWP staff only memberships, but has great facilities and most of the staff are friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great Salon Inside

Positive experience: Good facilities. Slightly on the small side and a bit dated but still a good place to train.

Positive experience: Great size pool. Only down side is the comunial changing part is quite small. Very clean and great pool opening hours.

Positive experience: Go here for my daughters swimming class. Pool is a bit small with the number of swimmers there but manageable. Showers and changing rooms need updating but are functionable.

Positive experience: Well priced and does the job for what I need.

Fantastic experience: All gym/swim and court facilities are available!

Fantastic experience: Swim here regularly. Is very clean and all staff are friendly and helpful.

Positive experience: Compact but with good facilities. Son loved his swimming lesson.

Negative experience: Unclean and in a poor state of repair.

Positive experience: I got the family membership for this pool a few weeks ago. The pool is very clean, water is warm and the staff is very friendly and cooperative. Members are generally nice as well. The only downside is that it's near a chavy area. Chavs come around randomly to steal stuff from the parking lot. Once they took a light off a bike in the evening and the poor cyclist had to go home in the dark.
