Public pools in Manchester

“Great place. Helpful and friendly staff. Everything I need, (gym swim and classes) all for £25.99 a month! The pool is a great size for lane, and general swimming. The gym has all the latest equipment and the gym is clean and well kept. Classes are great, and when you download the app, you can book without any hassle.”

“An outstanding leisure centre with something for everyone. The classes are varied and fun, the gym has all the equipment you need, and the swimming pool is excellent. The whole place is clean, safe, and well-run. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay active.”

“I really look forward to Nicole's aqua class on a Thursday evening. I love that every week she does something different and not the same routine. I love the music she's plays which keeps you going throughout the work out. She if very informative. She gives you easier options or harder options. She always introduces herself to the class and tells you which part of the body you're working on durning each exercise. Nicole's is always energetic, I don't know how she does it!”

“love it work at hopspital it helps me chill out x staff very nice helpful x and the cleaner so nice x chatty. u all works hard x”

“Great local place with plenty of outdoor and indoor facilities. It has been much improved since the recent renovations and is definitely worth a visit.”

“Great company to work with, marketing is always relevant and informative and received well judging by open rate stats! Always a pleasure to speak with the marketing team at Life Leisure.”

“Great facilities steam room and sauna are nice and clean. However mixed changing rooms is a big concern where is all the safety gone for our kids”

“I am a member of the gym mainly using the one at Sports Village Heywwod for combat classes.the only issue is that instructors for these classes are very scarce. Which is clearly why so many gyms are not using the trade marked Les Mills classes which are the best classes. Yesterday I had booked a paddleboard taster session which was brilliant. The instructor was Sandro and he was very good very encouraging and helpful. We moan about the lack of facilities in the area but if people looked at this web site and used the facilities they would realise it's not that bad!”

“Good parking, good pitch and clean facilities”

“I’ve been visiting most mornings and so far, so good. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, the swimming pool is excellent, and the gym staff are friendly and helpful. Changing rooms are decent, and The Cove next door is great for a sauna after a workout. The only small downside is the car park, which can get busy at peak times, although early mornings are fine. Overall, a great gym and pool with everything you need.”

“Can’t recommend Shay Trainor highly enough. I had a running injury a few months ago and went to see a physio in London who was unable to diagnose the issue but thought it was related to my hip. I was left unsure how to progress. I went to see Shay today who has assessed it as a piriformis syndrome and given me some exercises to work on. I am so relieved to have a diagnosis and also to have received expert advice on how to get back into running and fitness. A huge thank you to Shay. Your help is greatly appreciated.”

“Vibrant place with fabulous graffiti that stretches all around the walls 10/10”

“I missed coming here. We booked to come for 11 o clock but surprisingly got here 40 min earlier. We were allowed to go early. Changing room was as I remember. It was clean. Toilets were somewhat clean. Can't fault the kids pool and jacuzzi tub. We couldn't sadly stay longer to use the big pool as we came early so needed to leave early. We had fantastic 40 min which flew by.”

“I came here today for a dance exhibition i didn't see. Much of it but what i did see was fine toilets fine to well the ones just of Reception considering it was a Sunday and extremely busy you've done yourselves proud0”

“All the members of staff are so friendly and helpful. thank you”

“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.”

“YOU GET FINED IF YOU DON'T ENTER YOUR CAR REG AT RECEPTION We got a parking fine for not entering our reg at reception, and a member of staff was amazing and got it revoked in 5 mins flat over the phone. Not impressed with the fine or the fact that they hide the parking notices - very sus - but it's a private company, not the pool staff. The centre itself is dated, yes, but it's a great public pool nonetheless. Has amazing baby change for our son and they even put pool toys and floats out for some sessions. Our little water baby loves it here and so does daddy.”

“I absolutely love the aquafit classes! I will be honest though, not all instructors close the privacy curtain so that's very off putting or I would attend every class. I had a call today offering me some gym induction sessions so I can use my membership to its fullest. Jake is a brilliant sometimes grumpy but always Yoda like swimming Instructor!”

“My experience here since I came back after illness have been wonderful. I can't say enough about the staff who act so professionally, they are welcoming, pleasant, helpful and they make your time at the facility that more enjoyable. I am very impressed by the cleanness off the place and how great the staff are at ensuring the covid threat is reduced by their awareness and actions to combat this virus. I have no difficulty in promoting this place and would encourage people to come here, to a safe friendly environment . It will do you the world of good and your health will be greatly improved no matter what age you are.”

“Attended a great wedding here and the whole experience was great. The rooms were very clean and the wedding food was superb . I would recommend the wedding service to anyone with a reasonable budget and wanting local feel with a brand to back it up”

“I have to say I was quite impressed with this experience. We took the grandchildren to visit Lightopia in Manchester and although it was cold and drizzling, we had a ball. Parking was very easy and only a short walk to one of the entrances. Entering the park was quite simple and the smell of cooking bratwurst and hot chocolate brewing permeated throughput one of the entrances. We bought some light toys for the children and they loved them! The park is well lit and the music playing all around was quite entertaining. I’m seeing a lot of comments about social distancing concerns but it’s NOT the park’s fault, rather all the people who don’t care about social distancing. It really wasn’t a problem for us so don’t let it bother you. In all honesty it was a great experience and we strongly recommend visiting if you can. It’s quite a long walk so be sure to bring comfortable shoes. The snack bars sell tasty food and the salted caramel hot chocolate was amazing! Last but not least, the light show halfway through was also awesome! Similar to what you would see at Disneyland. Have a great time!”
