“One of the most authentic and inspirational places to learn Thai boxing in Manchester if not the northwest. Incredibly welcoming, great equipment and culture and Thai boxing is only the tip of what the centre offers. Can’t recommend enough, newbies and more seasoned hobbiest to fighters on the local circuit”

“The most welcoming, friendly and fun studio in Manchester! The instructors are fantastic, supportive and work to your level in every class. The variety of classes on offer far outstrips any other studio in Manchester and they offer great value for money. Easily accessible, just 10 minutes from Piccadilly Gardens, if you are looking to start out or to drop by and practice insane tricks, Polefire is without a doubt the best place to go!”

“This is one place where you can come alive, the breath of fresh air while watching the sports activities. I love the inclusivity. They have a team for physically challenged teenagers and kids. They come with their carers or families, and it is an amazing sports center to get on a sports team. And yes! Pets are allowed in. There are no seats here, but u can always come with one.”

“Clean, well laid out, good food, friendly and helpful staff. Hairdryer, small fridge, iron and board in room. Tea coffee making facilities in room. Close proximity to trams. Canal looks good at night surrounded by lights. Ample parking. Efficient lifts.”

“I can only go off my own experiences when reviewing here and have found Salford Community Leisure excellent value for money. I have the monthly corporate all inclusive package, which gives you full access to all of the classes, gyms and pools across the Salford area. Some of the gyms are in better condition than others, but for what you pay and for what you get, you are getting a really good deal. The staff and instructors I've found all incredibly friendly and helpful. There's a great range of gym classes at all times of the day, evenings and weekends. You can book over the phone, on their booking system and also on their app. My only criticism is like I mentioned earlier, where some of the gyms are in better condition than others, but that is sadly out of SCL's control due to Tory central government cuts over the past 12 years, meaning budgets are tight. I believe there are plans for all of the gyms to eventually be redeveloped or refurbished, but obviously these things take time.”

“I’ve coming here for about four years now, and I love the place. The organisation, people taking part. Friendly and willing to help with any questions that you may have!!! David and Karen and the rest of the team are awesome imo!!”

“Yoga is my best part of all exercises”

“You can get both first and second jabs of your vaccine here. Both Astrazenica and Pfizer are available in this site but you need to check the Salfold NHS website to find out what kind of vaccine is available on the day you want to attend.”

“Lovely stay for two nights. Room was very comfortable and beautifully presented. The breakfast was also excellent. Perfect for myself especially staying on my own, with parking available and close to all amenities. Staff were most welcoming and very friendly. Thank you.”

“A friendly, accessible and clean gym with plenty of equipment, a nice pool and spa area and a good range of classes with good, motivated instructors. The changing area is big with lots of showers and space to get changed. I usually go early in the morning before work or on weekends and it’s a nice amount of busy. Not too packed but also not dead.”
