★★★★★Featured review by Peter Sandiford

Go on regular basis have done for years, staff are friendly and supportive if you need info or useing equipment. Swimming pool has a good timetable so you can plan when you want to swim. Overall great to use facilities whenever you want.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Works well for families who want regular swimming lessons and pool access on a predictable timetable. The two-floor gym suits older family members. Poolside showers are communal — families wanting private shower access may prefer to use the changing rooms only.

⏰Poolside showers are communal — bring flip-flops or use the changing room showers
đŸŽŸī¸The gym spans two floors with Matrix cardio equipment — quieter at off-peak times

“Definitely get a good work out here, facilities include large swimming pool, good size gym that spans two floors, badminton courts and more. Took my kid here a few times during the summer holidays and also as a younger child for swimming lessons. Fabulous.”

“Good classes, gym equipment limited but acceptable, kids allowed in which is a bit annoying when it's busy . Women's changing rooms in desperate need of upgrade. Hooks needed on the shower doors at very least. Showers on the pool side are communal so I have go to worsley to swim so I can have a proper wash afterwards. Hopefully these will be upgraded at some point”

“Good gym if you go at the right time with okay equipment. I am not sure why they employ staff to work on reception because you're usually ignored whilst they sit their on their phones or chatting amongst themselves đŸ¤Ŗâ€
