   Great gym and facilities. Very clean and organised throughout. Lockers need some attention. Could also do to add some more classes between the hours of 7am and 8am Many are in the evening or daytime which doesn't accommodate for those starting work at 9/10am.

   I recently enrolled my 13 year old for membership to use the swimming pool and gym. We had a terrible experience from start to finish, when originally enrolling nothing was explained to us about how he would have to register on a very tempremental website and that he could only attend gym sessions after completing an orientation and strength workshop (which could only be booked on the tempremental website). Even after phoning to get help finding what we needed to do next, after a long wait and having to listen to to endless jargon, the lady who answered was not helpful and gave the vaguest instructions- I dont believe she knew how we needed to book the preliminary sessions. After, much time- wasting, we managed to book the orientation session, which was only available for limited days and times. Once my son had attended the first workshop, we were then told we had to then go on the abysmal website again to book the next workshop before he can actually use the gym!!! Ridiculous, how difficult they make it! After once again booking the session with much difficulty, we got a call the day before he was due to go to the workshop that it had been cancelled and we would have to book another! After months of paying for the membership which he never used once, we cancelled the membership and were then contacted to advise we would incur charges for cancelling without notice!! Bloody ridiculous, everything was so complicated and the website and app were so NOT user-friendly at all. No value for customer care, just in it to make easy money!!

   I tried to move my child to another class that seemed more productive and progressive, but was told a one-month notice is required to make the change. By the time that period ends, the class will likely be full. Unfortunately, my child is currently in a class where instructors change almost every session, there’s no continuity, and progress has stalled. Lessons feel disorganised and performance isn’t being monitored anymore. It’s disappointing to see the quality decline so much. I’ve decided to stop the lessons as they’re no longer benefiting my child.

   Recently, my child’s class has had a different teacher almost every week. While I understand it can take time to find a permanent replacement, temporary teachers should still be able to continue lessons seamlessly and track students’ progress. It feels unfair that students’ performance percentages are affected simply because there isn’t a permanent teacher. Continuity is essential for both learning and fair evaluation.

   Not enough public swim availability. Mainly length swims, with only a few public swims throughout the week (all less than half of the pool) Not every can or wants to do a length swim. Public swims can be for everyone, regardless of fitness, ability or disability. You're restricting who can use the facility by making it almost exclusively length swim. Some people want a leisurely swim, or to tread water for a while. I'm only able to go swimming around once a month on your current timetable. With more public swimming availability, I'd probably go twice a week, if not more. A few people I know have said similar about the timetable. When I do manage to go, the staff were quite helpful and the place was clean and tidy. Shame it can't be utilised better. Similar issues with most baths in the area.

   Great indoor swimming pool that felt like it was very clean. The pool lighting is perfect and colourful and there are plenty of changing rooms. The downsides are: they only have 4 showers so there's a long wait, and they have limited female only times.

   Quick summary, two pools, a gym, two exercise studios, a cycle studio and loads of classes. Stuff it doesn't have? No sauna or jacuzzi. Can't comment on the prices, I have a membership, and in fairness, that's probably the way to go if you are a regular visitor. The new Spen Valley Leisure centre replaced a swimming pool. The old gym was in a former youth club. Is the new better than the old? For sure. The new pools are smaller but much more flexible. And the leisure centre now has a purpose designed gym. The whole place is modern and fresh. (It's new, it should be!) Changing rooms upstairs for the gym and studio classes, downstairs for swimming. You'll need a quid for a locker, it's refunded when you leave. It can get busy, best check the timetable for swim times and availability.

   I'm really loving the new leisure center. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the building is easy to navigate. There's not a wide range of classes available as yet, but thats only because they are seeing what the demand is like first. I definitely recommend This girl can, class on a Saturday. Its perfect for anyone who is just getting back into fitness or has health conditions. It gives you an opportunity to try out different things such as boxercize, dance, movement and tone.
