Pleasant staff on entry Good sized pool, family swim had lots of inflatables out. Smaller kids pool and adjoining sensory/water play area. Our only gripe would be the shoe changing area was extremely crowded and hard to get out-also not good for people with sensory issues. The clip and climb wall was colourful and looked like it would be lots of fun.
I'm a regular gym-goer, and as far as that experience is concerned it's great. Equipment there will suit most people's needs and everything is kept well-maintained and clean. Another smith machine somewhere would be great, though, as during busier times it can be hotly contested! My main criticism is the parking. Depending on when you go, it can be extremely difficult to find a spot, even in the back car park. This is mainly because of the classes and other activities hosted there. More provision for parking would be a welcome improvement.
Ithink this is my 9th better gym in terms of space and equipment definitely top 3, nice clean modern facility with technogym equipment, dumbbells up to 40kg good mixture of fixed machines and plate loaded machines, good amount of cable machines, as well as good amount of cardio equipment. With and leisure centre health club it’s not just the Gym, here there’s a clip and climb, 5g pitches and a 25 metre pool really nice facility. Good job
I would say it was nice experience. I have been on soft play and toddler swimming pool. It was cost all together only about £12 which is a good price. I found out this place because of my friend recommendations. It’s not a lot of pictures on reviews so I wouldn’t come here if no one advised me. They doesn’t allow to take pictures inside where toddler splash area which affects awareness of this place as I always go by people’s pictures to see how place looks like. So that’s why I put 4 star.
First time trying this swimming pool before deciding whether to sign up as a family of four, but unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The learner/toddler pool was overcrowded, and the shower facilities were totally inadequate. To top it off, my swimming togs were stolen. (I’m mean, who steals someone’s swim wear 🤯) Needless to say, we won’t be joining.
