Local sports centre with a 25-metre, 4-lane pool, refurbished 70-station gym, 30-plus weekly fitness classes, and four badminton courts. Free on-site parking requires car registration at reception.

โœ“ Clean swimming poolโœ“ Friendly staffโœ“ Register car plateโœ“ Good gym equipment

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

A reliable local swimming option for families of all ages with clean pool water and welcoming staff. The gym suits parents as children swim. Changing room amenities are basic - bring your own hairdryer and expect open-plan men's changing. Register your car plate at reception immediately on arrival to avoid a parking charge.

โ€œFailsworth Sports Centre offers a well-rounded experience for fitness enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The highlight of the facility is undoubtedly its five-star gym. Equipped with state-of-the-art machines and free weights, the gym is rarely crowded, providing an almost exclusive feel. This allows for uninterrupted workouts and easy access to equipment at any time of the day. The swimming pool, which boasts I would say the the cleanest water you'll find across all sports centres well maintained, offering a refreshing and hygienic environment for swimmers. Everyone is very social and it makes a change from the other sites. The staff at Failsworth Sports Centre deserve special mention for their friendliness and professionalism. Their positive attitude and helpful nature contribute significantly to the inviting atmosphere of the centre. However, The sports centre is beginning to show its age, and certain parts of the facility, particularly the changing rooms and could do with some tender loving care. Updating areas would go a long way in enhancing the overall user experience.โ€
