1 / 3Newham Leisure Centre
π London, Greater London
Multi-activity centre with spacious soft play including a separate under-2 section, roller skating rink, swimming pools, and fitness classes. Pram access, free parking, and birthday party hosting available.
Absolutely loving my new fitness journey at Newham leisure center π₯ Iβve only been attending the Step Aerobics classes with Laurie, Dance Fitness with Cleopatra, and Aqua Aerobics classes with Naomi so far β and wow, these sessions seriously BURN! What incredible workouts! Each class leaves me completely energized (and yes, properly exhausted in the best way possible). The instructors are so dedicated, passionate, and motivating β they have this amazing ability to push you just enough to keep going, even when your legs are screaming! Laurieβs high-energy step routines, Cleopatraβs fun and groovy dance vibes, and Naomiβs power pact yet refreshing aqua sessions are all pure gold! Honestly, I now feel genuinely guilty if I miss one of their classes - These instructors make you want to show up and give your best every single time.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 4β10 who can handle an active, lively soft play environment. The roller skating sessions suit older children with supervision from instructors. Parents of toddlers should plan to stay close and actively supervise β the under-2 section exists and age rules are not consistently enforced by staff.

βLove the Softplay here, it is spacious and itβs very suitable for 4-10 years old. The facilities are still quite new. Washrooms are just right in the area. There are some picnic tables for parents and children. There is a small cafe/kiosk where you can ask for some tab water. The staff here are very friendly. I have noticed there are staff cleaning and sweeping the floor here very now and then.β

βWe attended a friendβs sonβs birthday party at the roller skating facility within the leisure centre, and it was such a great experience! Although there was a slight delay in getting started, the overall event was amazing. The coaches were incredibly friendly and really involved themselves in the activity, making sure everyone felt included and confident on skates. The DJ played good, family-friendly music that kept the energy upbeat and fun for all ages. The whole atmosphere had such a wholesome, positive vibe. Weβll definitely be back!β

βLovely soft play area for the kids, they have a separate under 2 section which is always beneficial however, there are no staff around to actually monitor if the rules are being enforced. There were kids hurting other kids, climbing up the slides, not giving way to others and many older children in the under 2βs section. I definitely think itβs the parentβs responsibility to keep an eye on their child/ren however some parents donβt bother and thus, the staff should step in to ensure all rules and regulations are being adhered to to minimise accidents/ issues.β
