Sadly the pool is the same one i swam in as a kid 35 years ago, ingrained grime all around the edge, the changing rooms are always filthy, showers are slow and dirty and nowhere near enough of them. 2 great swimming tutors but also some very disinterested ones lacking the skills needed to work with kids
This leisure centre is good, but i would say if there is any ladies area included inside the gym area, it would be much more helpful.
Very very outdated leisure centre. Went swimming for the first time to see the leisure centre. Wouldn’t go again. If you want to shower, make sure to bring your own because honestly these showers were the worst showers ever a little trickle which you then have to turn on every 3-4 seconds. The pools themselves are very outdated taking you back to the 1990s and the locker rooms?! Missing locks missing door handles. Look like they haven’t been cleaned either or very well maintained.
Do not use … they cancel constantly 3 times in 3 months we experienced. They still charger and the payment came out of the 1st, we rang and cancelled on the 4th and they said we still had to pay the next month. The facilities are poor, water temperature constantly changes and the floor in the changing rooms is all pulled up.
They need more than one person at reception especially busy hour and receptionis should not answer the phone when there is people waiting long queues for her. Today she was on the phone 15 min and finally someone come out from the back of the reception desk and took the payment for ice cream, it start melting in my hand. She not bother alot of people waiting in front of her.
Turned up to swim with my 2 year old at 9:15 to be told sessions are on the hour for entrance. At no point anywhere in their information is this stated. Only states family swim is 9-3 on weekends. It's Supposedly not the centre managers responsibility if information for the centre that they manage is correct or not.
gym membership is double of what future fitness is,paltry gym with only basic machines,rude staff,and even if you pay the extra to get out of the contract at anytime they hide the fact you have to give them 30 days notice which means they try to take a month for free.......despite not giving you 30 days notice they are shutting down for 3 month to make some dance studio lmao,just cancel your direct debit and treat anything taken as theft. worst gym ive ever used and ive used many in bolton
Never had a problem with this place until I cancelled my direct debit. Today 23/11/22 at 3.39pm I rang them to let them know I have cancelled my direct debit as my little boy has been missing lessons as he doesn't want to do them anymore, and the woman receptionist who answered the phone told me I can't just cancel the direct debit, I have to give 30 days notice! She was rude and abrupt talking over me when I was trying to tell her I have queried cancelling before now and was never told I had to give 30 days notice before! I think you need to re-train some of your staff to respect what the customer Is saying and not be blunt and abrupt! It's also convenient that you don't have to give notice if your child can't make the lesson but they keep my direct debit and don't refund! Why would I give 30 days notice and pay you more money if my boy hasn't been attending! He has autism and his choices vary constantly on what he wants to do! I can't force him to do his swimming lessons! Extremely disappointed!
Great facilities, but they're not for you if you're not a kid. This is a great local swimming pool and gym, but adult swimmers are clearly the lowest priority as during all evening adult swimming sessions, they can expect 2-4 lanes of the pool to be roped off for childrens' lessons, while all the adult swimmers are congested in the middle. The timetable should have more sessions where adults can have full access to the pool. The "learners' pool" off to the side might as well not exist.
I absolutely love the aquafit classes! I will be honest though, not all instructors close the privacy curtain so that's very off putting or I would attend every class. I had a call today offering me some gym induction sessions so I can use my membership to its fullest. Jake is a brilliant sometimes grumpy but always Yoda like swimming Instructor!
