Pools for swimming in Leeds

“I had a great stay at The Queens Hotel in Leeds. The room was clean and comfortable, but what really stood out was the exceptional service. A special thank you to Wioletta, who was incredibly kind and responsive. She went above and beyond in bringing me much-needed ice for my medication. Her hospitality and care made a big difference to my stay. Thank you.”

“Great venue for our annual charity match between YTC Traction and SMT Claymore Club. Thanks for hosting us and looking forward to next year.”

“Very pleasant staff that I spoke to. The whole place appears clean and tidy. The pool was nice and warm and the changing areas appear to have underfloor heating, which is great when you get out of the pool. The showers were also a good temperature, and lasted a reasonable amount of time. Plenty staff cleaning the locker area, regularly. I believe the car park was free for 3 hours. As of February 25, they're taking cash, which is a big bonus, as I'd much rather pay cash. Most leisure centres around here have gone cashless. I'll define going back here, even though it's not the closest leisure centre to me. I assume this is run by Leeds City Council - Great job! Miles better than any of the Kirklees facilities.”

“Shout out for Mytholmroyd Community Centre. We had a wedding there today and those guys at the Community Centre were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they worked hard to get everything just right for us. They were so supportive, flexible, and helpful. The linen they provided was of hotel standard. Thankyou! We appreciate you!”

“Good leisure centre and swimming baths. I learned to swim here in 1976. It's been modernised a lot but essentially the same pool.”

“Cracking gym just try to miss the times when they have a class on !”

“Very pleasant visit. Amicable staff . Nice surroundings.”

“Suzie at the gym reception provided exceptional service! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped me with all my questions, even securing a better rate for me. Her patience in assisting me with the app and booking was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!”

“Went for the badminton. The receptionist was helpful at helping us find the court, the court was well maintained and clean”

“I would highly recommend going to Total Fitness I went today and it was my first time going to gym was super nervous first, but I got showed around by Harry and he was lovely then I had a 1-1 session with Luke for an hour and he was fantastic made me feel so comfortable, it was the best workout ever, I can’t even feel my legs haha and now I’m really excited to go back to the gym. I’ve signed up now for a 12 month membership I would definitely go to total fitness and if you’re new to the gym don’t be nervous as they treat you will respect and don’t judge you at all!”

“Very friendly and helpful team, facilities are very clean, only issue I had was lack of signage/information about where the lockers and showers as it was my first visit and has two yong children with me, but now I know the next visit will be a lot easier. The swimming lessons for kids are very well organised and instructors very knowledgeable and friendly.”

“I've been going to this gym for over two months now, and it's been a great experience! The classes are varied and enjoyable, and the timetable works really well with my schedule. The trainers are knowledgeable, supportive, and very approachable, which makes a big difference. The reception staff are always friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The only area where improvement is needed is the cleanliness of the gym but aside from that, it’s a fantastic little place that I’m really happy to be a part of. Highly recommend checking it out!”

“There is something for everyone here! A large swimming baths with baby pool, shallow area and deep area as well as a large water slide. A modern fully equipped gym. Tennis courts Squash courts A huge hall for sports and activities A cafe Function room for parties And more. We currently attended my daughter's dance competition here and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will be coming here in the summer holidays to swim!”

“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”

“Christmas swim deals... Warm water ( I was told that due to this being a children's training pool, it is warmer than the others!) Good showers Just not sure where the artic wind comes from in the changing rooms. But overall... This is a great place for a 'normal swimming pool'. I don't want slides etc, just to teach the kids to swim...”

“Not a bad place has nice swimming pool and fitness facilities. The staff are very good and respectful. Definitely worth a visit.”

“Go here very often as for the comments on rude staff never had any complaints and the life guards are always checking on everyone yeah changing rooms can smell but it's expected at a poolside I've been in when it's getting cleaned, overall a great experience.”

“Good friendly well equipped gym. Adults only after 5.30pm can get very busy 4pm-6pm. Lots of classes available to join. Also have swimming pools, one for adults, one for children.”

“Fantastic gym to workout in, the staff are nice and gym kept tidy & sauna is fantastic. It’s only ever untidy during busy hours. Mornings and Night times are the best time to go”

“Good stadium for women's Rugby World Cup. Food and drink good, but as expected a little more pricey that outside the venue.”

“Fantastic pools, the staff are lovely and helpful! I love that they have the main pool and the studio pool for the younger kids. They also have a fun splash area with toys and fountains for the little ones! The studio pool is always warmer than the public, which makes it perfect for kids. There's also a great number of lockers - we never struggle to find one to use. The gym is also nice, it's small but it has everything you'd need as a regular gym attender.”

“Very lovely gym and exercise centre for older guys. There are modern exercise equipments for elderly people”

“Huge car park. Decent environment”

“My kids had so much fun in lightwaves having drama and sports”

“Lovely and peaceful place for nice time with family and friends”

“The leisure centre itself is great but the road network surrounding it is not for for purpose. I have just spent 40 minutes queueing for the roundabout from 17.10 to 17.50. My son only had the last 10 minutes of his swimming lesson which started at 17.30. Leeds city council really needs to address this problem”

“Great swim school !! Small classes fantastic teachers.”

“It seems, in reading the rush of recent reviews and some past reviews that club staff are under pressure to get positive reviews for the club. I am sympathetic to this cause, many of the staff are friendly are regularly seen to be doing their best - as such, 5 stars. The mark of a lasting business in customer service is one that will learn from its shortcomings and actively listen to, and act on feedback from customers AND staff. I understand that a business needs money to operate, and I understand that raising member prices is often done reluctantly and by necessity. As other reviewers have mentioned, some things that a set of your members value have been taken away, business decisions that are necessary for continued operation may need better communication with your longstanding members. Consider offering a newsletter or some other practice in relation to club direction and the snagging list. I visit to relax, remove the some of the weight of the world and improve myself. Recently, every time I visit there is something wrong. Many of the machines I was looking to use out of action, the steam room - out of action or overcrowded. I keep to myself, but the changing rooms and steam room / sauna constantly have longstanding members complaining to other members about deteriorating facilities, removal of features (or staff), increase in prices and looking favourably at competing locations who will beat on price. Hard to switch off when this conversation is rampant, and they aren't wrong, I stay out of it, but I see more and more people swing this way as time goes on. The pool is massively valued among customers and of course with such an asset the business is going to leverage it to try and make money where possible, but the penny pinching adds up. Staff are clearly doing their best with what they are given, but sometimes it feels like they are between a rock and a hard place. 5* remains for now, I do hope that while management make the decisions they need to, that they find some way to communicate that with their customers on the direction of the club. Radio silence and stretching things thin is going to go one way. Hopefully the new members these reviews are desperate to encourage will allow the club to reinvest for the benefit of all members..”

“Wonderful afternoon of relaxation and pampering. On arrival the young gentleman on reception was fab. Kind and most helpful explaining about what to expect, booking us in, showing us where to go snd generally just really welcoming. Swimming pool and steam room were great then on to the relaxation room. We went a little early so we had time to enjoy the warming beds. Room was nice (speakers a bit tinny with the music which buzzed a smidge). Then into our treatment room. Ladies were really respectful and welcoming. We had a Swedish massage and a facial. Absolutely fantastic! So relaxing and really thorough. Couldn't fault my day at all. Finished it off with one of the cafes smoothies. Also tasty. Thank you all.”

“Fiona is a great instructor and the programme is fantastic. The venue though is poor. Tiny changing rooms, poorly kept pool and a very small space for lessons.”
