Gym in Northampton

“Quite a large, friendly club with lots of members. Plenty of black belts to help with patterns and answer questions. People are encouaged to grade when they are ready. The instructor is friendly and can demonstrate and explain techniques well.”

“I have real difficulties getting my girls (aged 6&7) to enjoy clubs, but this is their second time going and they've come home begging to go back! I think they are especially enjoying the smaller setting (spratton school). They adore Charlie & Emma and its so lovely to see their big smiles at the end of the day, thank you!”

“My new favourite activewear brand!”

“First visit to MK Springers Gymnastics attended the waddler to toddler session and was very impressed such great value so much to do my son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be returning.”

“Medium sized fun pool with tepid water. Allows diving in the deep end when safe and with a variety of water jets in the shallows with a small water slide it's a great place to spend a fun hour or 2. Cafe and pool viewing area are cosy with easy access to the toilets and ample safe for buggys, groups and boisterous small parties!!”

“I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding swimming lessons my children receives at Kempston pool. The progress they have made has been brilliant, and I attribute much of this success to the exceptional way the instructors attend to the children. I have been particularly impressed by: * Individual Attention: Despite managing a group, the instructors consistently notice individual needs. Whether it's correcting a specific technique or offering a word of encouragement to a hesitant child, they provide personalised feedback effectively. * Patience and Encouragement: The instructors demonstrate remarkable patience and have a wonderful, positive attitude that clearly motivates the children. They celebrate small successes, which really boosts confidence. * Clear Communication: They explain techniques in a way that is easy for children to understand, adapting their approach as needed. * Creating a Safe & Fun Atmosphere: My children feel safe and supported in their lessons. The instructors balance learning with fun, making it an experience my children genuinely look forward to each week. Seeing how well my children are cared for and how attentively they are taught has been wonderful. Please pass on our thanks to the instructors for their dedication and skill. We are delighted with the programme.”

“Recently joined Saxon Pool on a swim membership. Pool and changing areas are clean and the staff are friendly (special shout out to super polite Sophie). A few more late quiet swims on the timetable would be welcomed, but in all honestly we are impressed and highly recommend.”

“Best gym in town. It has everything you need and staff are always on hand if you don’t know how some of the ‘machinery’ work. Reception ladies always smiling and happy to help and if you manage to trip over your 2 feet, lifeguards are there to give you an ice pack. Highly recommend!”

“Attended a christmas party event at the hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful.The food service was very quick , and the food was hot and tasty. The rooms were big and well equipped. Breakfast had a good selection, and the staff were really helpful. Overall a great time!”

“I have loved this place since day one! Andrea and the Forge Yards team were always there to support and provide assistance. Maintenance has been quick to attend and sort out any issues. I can’t thank them enough for these two amazing years. Thank you.”

“I was visiting from the U.S. and missing my swim time. I was very grateful for the day pass to enjoy the pool. I desperately needed to fill the hours between the site sighting excursions planned by my host family. The staff was kind and accommodating and locker/shower facilities were satisfactory. The hot tub wasn’t working one day and not hot the other, but the steam room was just what I needed to unwind. Although I was far from home, I felt perfectly comfortable.”

“I have been using the facilities at Woughton Leisure Centre more than 30 years starting with my sons learning to swim who are now adults with their children having done swimming lessons there this past summer. I learnt to swim there when I retired in 2021 and now hold a swim membership. As well as swimming I have played badminton weekly again over 35 years. Apart from the facilities the staff have without fail offered a highly professional and friendly service in particular Hannah, Mark, Dean and Niki. Twice I had brain fog and confused about which locker I thought was mine , Mark and Hannah came to my rescue and were very understanding when they assisted me on finding my correct. Woughton Leisure plays a very important role in keeping me healthy.”

“I have read a lot of negative comments about this place. Trust me, it’s not that bad. Gym is great, swimming area is good and personal coaching is amazing. The changing rooms were not that bad like other gyms. They are going to have a new renovation plan for this area in September so fingers crossed for the new setup.”

“Best JD Iv been into. Getting my little 1 new trainers. The guy that served us was very friendly and was good with kids. Other stores Iv gone into seems 2 have attitude problem but rushed lake was great. Would highly recommend”

“Enjoy taking aqua aerobics her every Wednesday and Friday friendly staff clean facilities”

“I ordered some what I thought were basic protein shakers, LifeLine Strg Shkr Btl 99. Hands down the best thing ever as I have been paying nearly £10 for the shaker and find this for £1.50 online only RUNNNN”

“My first visit there , so I've only seen the gym. My wellness app barcode , didn't work , but this appears to be an issue between the 2 companies. However the lady on reception was really patient and helpful and got me set up. The gym was very well equipped , not too busy and lots of natural light Pretty impressed”

“Very good selection of clothing and footwear. Well stocked. Very good service. Well done.”

“So yes, it is an old pool, but the pros massively outweigh the cons and there are some quite unreasonable reviews here. Pros:- 33 metre pool, Lovely staff, Lovely community vibe, Wide lanes, More flexible swimming times, Properly hot showers, Big changing cubicles (useful if you're 6ft3 like me) Decent pool temperature so you can really go for it when you swim. Cons:- It is old so there are rust marks that have built up over the decades, giving it an untidy/grubby look, although it is as clean as any other pool. Unfair and generally negative reviews about teeny things by unsympathetic people. The negative reviews about this pool stopped me trying it for 3 years and the only reason I went was because the Kempston one was closed for a period of time. It is in need of a refurbishment as it is an old pool, but it isn't any dirtier than any other pool I've been to. The one in Barnet North London is pretty much a brand new centre, and I've seen that one in significantly worse states than Robinsons due to customers being gross and disrespectful. So, if you want to go swimming in a nice, well maintained, historical pool with a great community vibe, nice respectful people, spacious lanes, is open when you want, and you can understand that it has battle scars from years of service, then this is the pool for you.”
