Highgrove Pool and Fitness Centre

“I take my son in here for swimming lessons. Happy with the provisions. They have swimming pool, gym, group classes etc. there is ample parking (pay n display) too . Staff seem to be friendly. The only issue I have faced was that their process of changing swimming lessons (days) are very complicated.”

“I was a member and re joined after the refurbishment. The previous set up was much better. The weight section is too cramped and the cardio section also. And some of the machines in the cardio section do not function properly. A good gym gone down!”

“Unprofessional management who is taking responsibility for our kids who Wants to learn swimming. No programme at all. My kid is doing baby steps in section two for last 4months. Very frustrated for my kid and parents. Everytime is diffrent teacher, for 20mins they walking in the water or playing with section 1. one week they doing without floating and next time With floating. Very often is changing teachers in one session. I asked for assessment for section 3, everytime is in two weeks. Everytime I hear lies regarding assessments for next section. I have been lied twice already. Dear parents, please choose wisely swimming lessons for your children. Dear Hillingdon Council, please scrutinise the Highgrove pool regarding teaching swimming. Zero management. Highgrove is wasting time at this time unless there will be clear programme for kids in place.”

“The club itself is generally clean, but the downside is definitely the people who go there. Some of the staff act quite childish and don’t seem to understand respect. In the mornings, it feels like a pensioners’ club, and in the evenings, it’s more like a nursery — honestly, it’s a bit of a joke. That’s just my opinion, though. I’d wouldn't recommend it if you’re just there to lift or sports. The gym is very small, people sit chatting on the machines for ages, and there are often three personal trainers working at the same time — which makes it feel crowded and unprofessional.”
