Lifestyles Park Road: Reviews
Negative experience: After officially canceling my membership, an amount was deducted from my account without rightful cause, and the issue was not resolved despite contacting management. I advise everyone not to deal with the club until the membership and cancellation procedures are clear.
Positive experience: I recently attended the dance and boxing at Park Road Lifestyle and it was absolutely brilliant. The structure, energy, and results from both session really stood out compared to other classes I've tried. It's engaging, motivating, and suitable for all fitness levels while still being challenging. I genuinely believe the boxing class would be a huge success if it were introduced across other e.g. Wavertree Lifestyle locations. It offers something unique and incredibly effective, and I know many more members would love the opportunity to take part. Please consider rolling this class out to more gyms — it's too good to be limited to just one location!
Negative experience: Very disappointing experience. I was interrupted in the middle of a treadmill workout and told I was not allowed to use the machine for more than 20 minutes during “peak time.” There was no signage, no prior warning, and staff could not clearly explain what peak time actually means. It was a shock to me, as there is a basic rule in gyms not to interrupt people during exercise, especially cardio. I even asked for a few more minutes to safely complete my session, but instead I was told to stop immediately and leave the machine. When I asked for clarification at reception, the response became rude and dismissive. Instead of constructive communication, I was called selfish, told not to take it personally, and even advised to use a different gym if I did not like it. I understand that gyms may have fair-use policies, but the way this was handled was unprofessional, poorly communicated, and unnecessary. I will not be returning.
Positive experience: Great place to exercise. Has a pool and saunas and steam room. The staff are friendly. There are plenty of activities for youngsters too.
Negative experience: I’m honestly so frustrated with Park Road Lifestyle Swimming. I showed up early to the men's only swim, expecting to get in for a swim, but they still refused to let me in. The pool wasn’t even full, so I really don’t understand what the issue was. Terrible customer service and a waste of my time; to top it off, the staff lady was RUDE.
Fantastic experience: Love the pool here it's very old fashioned with the changing rooms around the pool, the pool itself is always lovely and warm and the staff are always friendly and happy to help.
Negative experience: Today we were ready for the ladies only swim 50mnz....cud only stay 10mnz pool water freezing and was told the boiler not working. Lcc get ur jobs in order plz.
Fantastic experience: Wow, it's an amazing place. I brought my toddler for a session. She played all over the gym, enjoyed a lot. Danced, ran, jumped. At the end of the session one of the staff comes and sits with you to sing couple of songs. Pre books are must
Fantastic experience: Lovely centre great staff
Positive experience: The facilities are a bit old but have a sauna
Fantastic experience: Good
Positive experience: Dated venue but great for gymnastics for the kids.
Negative experience: Council Staff can be petty about allowing access to sauna or gym until the exact opening time. Have to check to see what time it opens on any particular day due to it operating with 4 Different opening times during the week??? Facilities dated and run down.
Negative experience: Stuck in 2000's, swimming pool is the same from when i was a kid in the 90's always a warm welcome.
Fantastic experience: Could do with a make over. But the kids pool is lovely and warm and the only place I'll take my toddler xx

Fantastic experience: Can't beat the nostalgia of going back to the old school baths family swim session with my 8-year-old daughter, who is autistic having access to a quiet, not overcrowded pool is a god sent to her she loved it
Fantastic experience: excellent place for children and adults. also cheap price for facilities gym and swimming.
Positive experience: Gone a lot pricier than before but good facilities
Positive experience: Lovely community that support one another no matter what your fitness goals are. Staff are all really accommodating and friendly. The attitude of people who go here and the instructors are what make it a great place to go. I have used other private chain gyms in the past which do not have the same vibe and I felt uncomfortable at. For the size of the gym itself, I have seen people complain about access hours and limitations of facilities, but to me it is a good local centre that offers a lot despite the fact it is a council/government leisure centre. For people saying about the pool, lifestyles have an aquatics centre in Wavertree if that's all you're really looking for. The pool in Park Road is fit for the purpose as its a small community leisure centre.
Negative experience: Bit ridiculous they still have segregated times on the weekend.
Negative experience: One of the female receptionist is very rude and unfriendly.she shouted to me when asked two questions
Positive experience: Neighborhood lifestyles with great sessions in Spinning and Yoga. They also have swimming courses which are very affordable. The instructor for the swimming course is very good (Mandy). The pools are really small though and there are no private baths in them.
Positive experience: The three stars I am giving is only on reflection of the dated building The facilities for my little girls gymnastics are out of this world The gym is a little basic Will update on the sauna and steam after my next visit
Fantastic experience: Nice and friendly environment. Lots of classess. Love it!
Fantastic experience: Staff go above and beyond to help. Its great value for money, especially with the current membership scheme. Gets the job done and the classes from yoga to swimming lessons to HIIT accommodate all. Love that you can also rent out the sports hall for group sports activities.

Positive experience: A small but ok gym; the facilities are better suited for gymnastics and junior swimming. Less money has clearly gone into improving this centre compared to Wavertree.
Fantastic experience: She was awesome
Negative experience: Palestra vecchia, con pochi attrezzi ed istruttore disinteressato. Molte vasche per la piscina. Ma per il resto direi un voto basso, mi dispiace.
Negative experience: If you are coming here to swim, DO NOT! There's all sorts of bugs and disgusting things inside the pool. The stench. Do not even get me started on the stench. The building is slowly rotting away and the staff are careless. So do yourself a favour and turn in the other direction of this disgraceful place! This doesn't even deserve one star. It's the only way I can post it lol.
Negative experience: Absolutely disgraceful. The pool stinks of urine, paper floating in the pool, hair in my mouth while I was swimming,toilets smell awful and you can smell the toilets in the pool, staff in the pool supposed to watch that your safe were reading the paper and texting. This terrible place should be closed down.

Positive experience: Love this place and the friendly staff make it all what it is.
Fantastic experience: Clean and well maintained badminton court
Fantastic experience: I went to a baby swim class here and it was mental. Proper old school swimming pool with small changing cubical around the side. Baby swim worth a visit if you like squatting in water holding your baby, listening to booming nursery rhymes. Like pool party meets old Mcdonald...
