Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre - London

Very good Southwark Council leisure centre at Peckham Pulse. I was there to try out the newly refurbished gym. But the Centre also has a great swimming pool.

The newly refitted gym is light and airy and has all the latest equipment from Pulse Fitness. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Peckham pulse / Southwark leisure centre is a great local, community gym.
The hours available are great. I just wished that they had adult hydro pool available after spin class ( group cycle). I’d love to do an early morning spin and shower then have a swim in the hydro pool which I find quite relaxing. They have a wide range of classes available and they always seem packed and popular. I enjoy the total stretch and chai class with Julia. Spin class is absolutely amazing with Isaac, Theo and James. They have great music selection and know how to motivate the class!.
My fitness levels have definetly improved. I always smile when I finish my workouts.

The gym facilities and equipment are great. If you want to use weights it’s a great place to strength train.
The swimming pools are good. They are clean and very family friendly. However sauna times should be extended and open to members in the mornings.
I enjoyed the personal training taster session Kyle. It was great to understand how to use the equipment properly, which has increased my confidence and now I can use the equipment properly and independently. Kyle used his personal training skills to encourage us if he sees us perhaps not using equipment properly and pushes us to do our best, which I appreciate!

I am not happy with the pigeons coming into the building because of the damaged roof and a leaky roof that drips water on your head as you walk-in and up and down the stairs it’s grossly unhygienic and seems to be an on going problem. Southwark council need to fix this issue ASAP. Tip is to wear a hood over your head when you walk up the stairs!

Déjà who works front of house on reception is really helpful and so pleasant and staff generally wish you good morning and good evening and do their best to help and guide you, which is great customer service.

There is a Good soft play area for children and my child enjoys playing there.
It would be great to have a sanitary pad dispenser for women in the bathroom and also a better range of drinks and snacks in the vending machines for adults and children.
The ladies toilets always seem to have an issue with most of them in the changing area not being able to flush.
Please correct the flaws and not drag on the work needed to repair the faults.

This gym has a lot of happy regulars and loyal members.
Some big improvements needed in areas mentioned.
But it’s a happy space with good facilities, good lighting and polite staff.
Edited to add literally hours after I posted this review I noticed workmen in the building attending to the roof repairs! I also saw them in the ladies changing area so I’m assuming the toilets will be fixed too! Is this coincidence or just quick accountability whatever it is it’s great to see this happening! Fantastic news😃

The gym upgrade in Peckham it's amazing 💯 I couldn't wait to return to my gym, I've been training here for the past 3 years and none of the other Southwark Leisure Centres compare to Peckham 😊
Staff members are friendly and professional. I was hosted by Phil today, who did a show round, and of course James, as always very welcoming. Totally recommend.

This place has the best pool as its the biggest and widest from all the Southwark centres and i use to swim here in the evening times. However, it's in serious decline the pool is all open plan now in the evenings until 9pm/8pm with no lanes so the sauna/steam room can stay open. So what about the pool users who now treat the place like a holiday camp, sitting around, lounging which creates a poor atmosphere. All your attracting is people whom don't take their health seriously and are using your facility like a social club. Some of them are even eating! Who the hell eats at a swimming pool!
The adults whom are trying to swimming are just weaving in and out of people.
Some members also keep their belongings in the changing room overnight and don't get me started on the showers. There are only 2 functional showers full of flies and the pool is constantly cloudy. Whomever manages this place is seriously failing.

Amazing space. Facilities are great and the classes, and what makes this leisure centre so great are the staff. They know me by name, always treat me with kindness and respect. Delia, Sarah and Angela are particularly exceptional with regards to customer service skills and knowledge. Highly recommend! X

Not been coming to this leisure centre, but I already feel completely comfortable here. The gym, swimming pool and sauna are completely easily accessible, and at a reasonable price. Peckham Pulse has everything I could need to help me improve my fitness.

The perfect place for a great swim with kids or by yourself. Gym facilities are great. The thing that makes this place tho is the staff from the reception team Angela and Sarah and everyone else to the pool side team fabian especially they are all so welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. I go every week with my daughter and she loves it.

I Dixon Fisher would like to say Peckham gym staff are amazing. Amazing facility, top equipment and great environment. Good service with friendly staff and super clean and comfortable gym for everyone from beginners to professional athletes to train.
