Sport school in Reading

“Learning to drive with HSM driving school was a fantastic experience. My instructor, Haroon ,was always punctual, patient, and professional. He explained everything clearly, corrected my mistakes kindly, and gave me the confidence to drive safely on my own. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn in a friendly and supportive environment.”

“I recently started learning to drive HGV with 2 Start and my experience was great from start to finish. I had Matt as my instructor and he treated me with respect and made sure I was comfortable at all times. Every aspect was throughly explained and Matt was always happy to break down any further issues to make sure I understood fully before we continued. Would recommend for sure.”

“Really pleased we found this place! My daughter has been going to the Muay Thai classes regularly for about a month now and she loves it - always comes out buzzing. Dan and the other instructors are amazing. They keep the classes fun and engaging but they're not too soft either :) The kids seem to respect them too, which is so nice to see. The gym itself is impressive, it's been done out to a high standard and there's a boxing ring, a spectators area and even a CAGE upstairs (not something you see every day!) Loads of equipment. Loads of classes. Loads of 'Oossing'. Positive vibes. The short version: Get a membership.”

“Fantastic and inclusive swimming school! My daughter has recently moved to Little Dolphins swim school from a previous school and has made so much progress in a short amount of time. She loves going to lessons and comes out of the lesson full of smiles. The teachers are kind, understanding, accommodating and will answer any questions you have. Fantastic safeguarding and saftey procedures in place. Clear communication. Highly recommend!”

“My son has developed so much since attending ARO Kickboxing. His confidence and fitness has improved hugely with the help of all the staff who have been so understanding and supportive. 100% recommend this club ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Sandra and GBS Swim School are brilliant. The staff really make it. They're all really knowledgeable, kind and encouraging. They know their stuff. Small classes of no more than 6 and two members of staff in the pool with the children for beginners. My son is autistic and has ADHD. He had really struggled with lessons at a leisure centre. He had developed a fear of the water and he would get stressed and anxious even crossing bridges of shallow water. He's learned so much and he is such a confident and able swimmer now because of his lessons at GBS Swim School. He even jumps in at the deep end when we're at the pool as a family. Highly recommend.”

“Bradfield College Sports Complex is an outstanding facility that offers top-tier amenities for sports enthusiasts. The indoor football hall is exceptional, providing a professional-grade playing surface with excellent lighting and a well-maintained environment, making it perfect for both casual and competitive games.

The overall atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and professional, ensuring a fantastic experience for visitors. Whether for training or leisure, Bradfield Sports Complex is a fantastic destination for sports lovers!”

“Simon is an amazing instructor. He immediately won the trust of my daughter who has turned into a competent and confident young driver. She passed first time, testament to Simon’s knowledgeable instruction and honest assessment and feedback. Delighted he has prepared her so well not only for the test, but for her future as a safe and reliable road user.”

“Eva had THE BEST time at the Petite School of Dancing Aloha - Lilo & Stitch Workshop. Not only did she get glitter tattoos, a goody bag full of stitch items, but did a fantastic routine performed at the end of day.”

“Reading Academy is a truly great place to learn Wing Chun and Kali. A true, direct lineage from the early masters. There is a welcoming and fun athmosphere, but at the same time a serious school that will develop you as a fighter and a person, both mentally and physically.”

“Has a swimming pool, sports hall (badminton/ basket ball) and a studio for things like dance lessons etc. It's got decent amount of parking too. Cost wise, it's a bit above the average. But given the kind of facilities available, I dont mind.”

“I’ve been using this Gym for about 4 yrs & recently PT with Marc. My experience with Marc is just amazing. Training is tailored / personalised to my needs. Would highly recommend to everyone. Needless to say Gym has got very friendly staff & make effort to keep things tidy & clean.”

“My girls are thriving at this wonderful school. We have been warmly welcomed into the community and everyone is so supportive. There is an ultimate sense of ‘family’ at the heart of the school and everyone in it.”

“My daughter attended Leighton Park From Year 8 to Year 11. She had an absolutely fantastic experience, and they gave her the most fantastic support with her dyslexia. She came as a young person with incredibly low self esteem due to her additional needs but left with enormous confidence, pride and 7 level 9 GCSEs, 2 level 8s an A* and a distinction* in a BTEC. She is now studying 4 A levels at college and is on a program to apply for Oxbridge and is seriously considering a career in politics. None of this would have been possible without the care and attention She received at LP. Their Individual Learning Centre where help is given to students with specific learning difficulties is top notch. Even more important than the qualifications is the sense of community and responsibility that my daughter learnt whilst there. All of the teachers genuinely care. We were so grateful when Covid hit, with how swiftly they put in to action on the line learning . She was Year 10 and taught every day. The pastoral care shines at this place. If you are considering Leighton Park for your son or daughter, I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“it's busy .. like REALLY busy a lot of the time - but they have a great selection of kit to use, staff are friendly and don't push their PT services on you, it is warm up there tho - just a niggle of mine. you might like the heat :)”

“Reading wado-kai is very welcoming. There is a lot of black belts and even if you're a beginner people are really welcoming and willing to teach you there is no discrimination. Sensei Rob has good connection with other surrounding wado-kai clubs. I love how he rotates his teaching sessions, one session it will be pad work to help focus with kumite, other session will be focus on kata where he breaks down the movement and it purposes. The club also teaches you the importance of pair work to help improve your ohyo. Very organise syllabus and interesting style of karate”
