“Great, especially now they've sorted out the pool.”

“Excellent venue for swimming, pool and lockers in excellent condition, staff were cleaning everything before we entered the pool area.”

“Great place with doctors, library, gym, swimming pool all under one roof. Lots of room.”

“Attend the gym and classes on a regular basis. Equipment is more than adequate and people are always lovely. The staff even ‘rescued’ a couple of flasks I’d left in the football pitches and kept them until I was next it. Very much appreciated it.”

“Just had my daughters party at Ashton leisure centre it was amazing. Danny and the team here are wonderful and really helpful. my daughter, friends and family had a great time in the pool and the party room with music and disco lights, couldn't thank them enough. Sometimes we forget what great facilities we have on our doorstep that doesn't cost the earth especially when you have a great friendly team like Dannys”

“Love it and go to the gym most days. Very friendly people, especially Helen who has helped me lots with the equipment . Lots of cardio and strength building machines along with free weights”

“Large rooms with power points. The furniture is of a good standard and the kitchen is a very good standard. The cafe area near the kitchen has lovely circular tables that we covered in pretty tablecloths with artificial flowers on each table, each table could easily sit six. There is a creche area for younger children, clean toilets near the entrance way. A security system to gain access to the building that requires a code, so you can keep your younger children safe from wondering outside unattended. And let only your party in when you have hire of the hall. Large car park as well”

“Made a couple of orders online and they've always arrived on time and as described! No issues, and we would certainly shop with Fitness Superstore again.”

“Failsworth Sports Centre offers a well-rounded experience for fitness enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The highlight of the facility is undoubtedly its five-star gym. Equipped with state-of-the-art machines and free weights, the gym is rarely crowded, providing an almost exclusive feel. This allows for uninterrupted workouts and easy access to equipment at any time of the day. The swimming pool, which boasts I would say the the cleanest water you'll find across all sports centres well maintained, offering a refreshing and hygienic environment for swimmers. Everyone is very social and it makes a change from the other sites. The staff at Failsworth Sports Centre deserve special mention for their friendliness and professionalism. Their positive attitude and helpful nature contribute significantly to the inviting atmosphere of the centre. However, The sports centre is beginning to show its age, and certain parts of the facility, particularly the changing rooms and could do with some tender loving care. Updating areas would go a long way in enhancing the overall user experience.”

“A great pool and exercise facilities in the centre of Ashton-under-Lyne. Car park at the rear of the building. Close to transport links. Staff are really helpful and very friendly. Swimming is fully open now and you do not have to prep book online for swimming.”

“My Daughter and her friend are currently at the inflatable obstacle swimming course and are having a great time. What a credit the you g male lifeguard is to your team. He is engaging with all the children, chatting, splashing them, throwing buckets of water at them. It is him that has made the experience extra fun!”

“I was for one day free trial, now I have membership and really happy. It’s nice coz around me, I have 3 leisure centre and can go whenever I want, the two of them have sauna and that’s what I want the most. This one also have some sessions for my little one so she is happy too”

“Friendly staff, clean changing rooms, pool at a nice temperature”

“Fab leisure centre. Joined a few months back at the start of my pregnancy as wanted to keep fit still. The staff are great especially the young lad on reception, always aware of what’s going on even when he’s with a customer, always opened the access door for me as I was getting a bigger and bigger bump. Lifeguards were always keeping an eye on me when in pool and addressed any issues which made me feel safe and protected of my baby bump. (Baby is now here & can’t wait to be back) My older son also has a kids membership and likes to use the gym. No issue ringing on day and getting him booked in. Not done any classes yet but will definitely be looking into this soon.”

“I just wanted to share that I really appreciate the calm, welcoming atmosphere at Life Leisure Cheadle. In the past, I found it hard to stick to a routine at high-intensity gyms, but here I feel comfortable, safe, and motivated to attend regularly. Thank you for creating an environment that supports consistency and mindful movement, it really makes a difference!”

“Been coming here for a couple of years now. It’s a great setup and has absolutely everything you need with regards to health and well being. That said, what really makes this place shine isn’t the facilities, it’s the great bunch of staff who run the place!! They work tirelessly to pull it all together whether it being front of house to help with my random queries or just to say a pleasant hello or goodbye in passing, the PTs who run RIG; Robert, Jack, Joe, Ben (sorry if I missed anyone else out), and the various other sessions from spin to boxercise. My daughter all attends swimming lessons here too… special thanks to Dan for being a great teacher and so good (and patient!) with Charlotte in her growth and development. Thanks to Scott for always being so accommodating with our families busy timetable and helping us find suitable dates and times. Keep up the good work guys, a very well done to you all!”

“Super little gym. Pretty much every piece of equipment you could ever need split over 2 rooms. Really friendly, helpful and encouraging staff. Good selection of classes although popular ones fill up fast so book in early.”

“Fabulous place! Staff are so friendly, extremely clean and facilities so so lovely. Lots of machines to use in the gym as well as free weights, pool is always spotless and perfect temperature. All in all a lovely environment. Gym goers are friendly too and helpful, if you're new to the gym! Price of membership definitely worth it for the location and the facilities!”
