I just wanted to say thank you so much for the incredible progress my little boy has made in such a short time with his teacher. At the beginning, I was a bit unsure about the teaching style, but I've seen how effectively the team works with the kids, and the results are amazing. I’m so grateful for the support and care the swimming team has shown. Thank you for everything you do for the kids!"Photo not allowed sorry 🙂
Reception is always kind and helpful and last time I just asked to check for cleaning it was just uncleaning before swimming class. He/She just said Ill will check and this is what a nice to care about customer service.

I haven’t been back to this gym for years. But as better gym goes, this is one of the best, it has a really nice vibrant gym, swimming pool and sauna. So good to see such massive improvements.

Thomas is an exceptional employee. Better gyms is lucky to have someone like this working in their establishment. His customer service is 2nd to none. He was fantastic at making sure myself and my two children enjoyed our first time at the centre. Nothing but positive things to say about him. Only reason I knocked off a star is because the slide was not working. #GiveThomasARaise

Water damages still not fixed after nearly 3months. Reduced capacity/space as a result. None of the bikes were working for several days. No sign of any compensation, reduction in the monthly fee. Appaling.

Update after my last review 3 months ago; nothing has changed. Utter joke. Here are the pics showing the current state of the "gym". I have been very (too?) patient, time to cancel my membership.

Update 11/2022: I have finally cancelled my membership since the situation has still not improved and I was struggling to find any motivation to go to train in these circumstances. I have joined a new local gym earlier this week; £26.99 instead of £40 for the cheapest memebership at the leisure centre; brand new equipment, much more space, FREE use of the lockers (and they even gave me a lock 🤣)
It's a no brainer really.

This review is for the swimming pool which I have visited recently.
1 star is given as the pool (walls, tiles all around!) is VERY dirty! To also mention the changing room & toilets (never seen a cleaner there - I have been going for a while).
Is anyone from health department visiting this place(?). Please do!! The place is not suitable for kids anymore.
It is a lovely place/pool - kids love it, however I do not like to take my child there anymore. Time to time I can find hair in the water..not clean at all. The water has so much chlorine in it; makes my skin so dry.
The price is low, costs are hight maybe the reason for this lack of cleanliness but pls put the price up a little if this is what it takes to maintain that place properly.
At its current state, I do not recommend it at all!
Better - pls do better 🙂

Very good neighbourhood fitness club. Great equipments and cardio/free weights exercises area.

Only cons is the music - too loud upstairs in the stretching.

Loudness level is like nightclub but with the issue that often you are obliged to listen full volume to full commercial radio ads while wanting to find some peace, deep breath and stretch.

For the rest it's all good 🙂

2.5 stars out of 5

As an old swimming teacher for this particular hall and for this company and visiting after years later left me in shock. We as swim teachers tried to promote swimming as fun and a life long activity. Before our family swim visit, when I looked on the website for bookings and schedules, there are only certain days which is available for family swim sessions and fun swim/free swim. The whole schedule has turned into a money making scheme with classes. Yes we use to teach classes but it seems to have increased over the years. I miss the old days when you can just pay swim only entrance and swim as you like. Either in lane or just casual water activity. Bring it back!!

Do not recommend if you cannot swim they're going to kick you out even if you're not swimming and the lifeguard themselves can't even swim end and women's changing room children with traumatised because a lady was walking around naked you could see everything I assure you that truly embarrassing and disgusting the water in the swimming pool it's cold as ice so unless you want to be traumatised you can go there😭
