Leisure centre with a 25-metre pool, 85-station refurbished gym, sports hall, and birthday party options. Morning sessions are quietest; after-school hours bring crowding and noise from unsupervised teens.

โœ“ Clean poolโœ“ Morning visits recommendedโœ“ Loud classesโœ“ Under-16 gym restrictionsโœ“ Good equipment

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with younger children who can visit during morning sessions when the pool is at its quietest. Parents of teenagers should know gym access for under-16s is restricted to two machines with a cut-off time.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กMorning sessions are significantly quieter - avoid the pool between school-out and early evening
โฐPool lanes are frequently roped off for lessons - check session timetables before going
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธGroup fitness classes run at high volume in the sports hall; bring ear protection if noise-sensitive
๐Ÿš—Under-16s can only use treadmill and leg press in the gym area

โ€œDecent amount of equipment in the gym. However, between 3.30-6pm gangs of young feral teens are allowed to roam wild in the gym, creating mayhem, messing about on machines and blocking access to equipment. OCCASIONALLY there will be a staff member to control them. The free weights area is SUPPOSED to be for 16+, but again it is abused. And good luck finding a full pool to swim in. Every time I have been - at various times - part of it is roped off for lessons.โ€

โ€œWent swimming here this morning. It was clean and modern. There were 5 changing cubicles in the mens wet changing room - as everybody asks and nobody ever says! The pool is big enough for most activities. This seems a long way from some of the other reviews I've read. I've posted photos of the changing room as there are none online. Limited obviously, owing to privacy of users!โ€

โ€œNice gym which I have been visiting for 2.5 years now and happend to become something like my second home. I would appreciate a bit more hygiene and regular cleaning - machines are visibly dirty and there is quite a bit of dust and spiderwebs here and there. Also group sessions are always too loud and keep their music on maximum which I find too much disruptive. But besides this, I am overall happy with the gym.โ€
