mainly for toothill students to use. Public still can play badminton here through leisure center booking system.
8 of us have been playing badminton, here, for about 30 years...its looking a little tired now like the rest of us, but we're all keeping going...
The pool changing room is ancient and not pleasant. The pool is deep but again is an old design and the water taste bad when it accidentally goes into your mouth whilst swimming. I did not enjoy it. It needs money spent on it and redoing.
If you have another option its probably better... 2 stars is generous but 1 would be harsh. Often difficult to park (particularly during school days and parents evening), odd opening hours - closes early on Saturday and barely open over holiday periods (don't seem to acknowledge that they are in the leisure business so need to work when others aren't), loud music sometimes that bleeds through your own earphones, expensive - £38/month and I only use the gym (this may be value if you attend classes and use other facilities) but the whole place is pretty neglected. The gym is fairly well stocked for me (cardio) and never really waiting to use anything - but I only really go for the location as I would have to drive past this place to get to any other gym.
We go here because we have no choice. Its run down and dirty, the changing rooms are gross, and it's pretty much what you would expect for a leisure centre shared with a secondary school... the pool is always cold, the viewing area windows are so dirty we can hardly see through them to see what our children are doing in their swimming lessons, and youll come out smelling like a greasy spoon if you even set foot in the cafe.
The staff are nice and it has the facilities you expect. However, family changing rooms are freezing in the winter, it’s a long walk through a labyrinth to reach the gym, and all the decor and facilities are in real need of an update to make it more welcoming and comfortable. A lick of paint and a bit of thought would go a long way.
The gym is well equipped with plenty of cardio machines and an area for groundwork on the upstairs, as well as a good weights and strength section downstairs. The center itself has plenty of different classes on all of which are included in the membership which is an average price. The membership also gets you access to other centers on the area which is a plus. Changing rooms could do with a spruce up as they are looking a bit dated.
