1 / 2Ladywood Leisure Centre
π Birmingham, West Midlands
Community leisure centre with two swimming pools, air-conditioned gym, sauna, steam room, and on-site cafe. Pool pod, changing places facilities, and lifts to all floors make it fully accessible for all ages.
Excellent place. The staff are friendly and always smiling, itβs consistently clean, the pool is good, the gym is pleasant, and the sauna is always working. The only suggestions would be to add a water filter closer to the sauna, as people have to walk quite far down the corridor to refill their water bottles after coming out, and, if possible, to install a new ab machine
π Family Action Verdict
Best for budget-conscious families who value attentive, child-friendly staff over premium finishes. Personal trainers here are genuinely good with children, making family fitness sessions enjoyable. Go in with realistic expectations about the facilities and you will leave satisfied.

βFrom the front desk to the facilities, the personnel at Ladywood Leisure Centre are exceptional. A member of the team who has made our family visits a joy and delight is Ms Rafia Bi, a Personal Fitness Trainer. She is patient with children and amazing with adults. This explains why families love working with her!β

βThis gym is decent but Iβve attended better Itβs spacious, has parking, and generally attracts a decent crowd. It has also pool for swim lovers.I can say Iβm overall satisfied with my experience and training there. Okay, sometimes when it gets crowded, I think they could have a few more machines. But overall, I havenβt really faced any difficulties with my workouts. Itβs a good gym and relatively affordable, especially considering it operates on such a large-scale project like this.β

βIβve noticed a big improvement in customer service at Ladywood Leisure gym. The team on reception are welcoming, helpful, and professional. They create a positive first impression and make members feel valued. However, the condition of the facilities has declined. The gym and swimming areas need attention. The changing rooms often have a strong smell of urine, and the showers show visible dust, dirt, and mould. Cleanliness does not match the standard you would expect. Itβs disappointing because the staff are doing a great job. The upkeep of the building is letting the whole place down. With stronger management and a focus on maintenance, this gym has the potential to be far better.β
