๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with older children who want a calm, unhurried swim in a historic setting away from louder leisure centres. The spa is adult-focused and adds value for parents who want to book treatments alongside a family swim visit. The two-floor layout requires navigating stairs with equipment.

โฐSpa treatments are booked and priced separately from gym and swim access

โ€œReally like the calm atmosphere at the Ironmonger Row Baths. I went to the centre to enquire about the senior membership options. Omma at the reception was very helpful and pleasant. She was very patient in sorting out some technical issues and helped me to sign up the membership on my phone. I am looking forward to starting my swimming and joining some fitness classes here.โ€

โ€œSmall gym in really cool historical building. There's a large pool if you like swimming. One downside is that equipment is split on 2 different floors. Also the spa isn't included in the membership. Better has raised monthly fees multiple times in the past 2 years for vague reasons. It's overpriced and doesn't offer much. So I don't recommend signing up. You can find better options elsewhere. But it's conveniently located so that's a plus.โ€

โ€œGreat venue, my wife went for a 90-minute massage and aromatherapy. She came out like a rubber band, relaxed,muscle pummeled to within an inch of their tolerance in a good way. What appreciated about the treatment was the value for money. It doesn't feel like you are paying for the establishment over heads. You are laying down money for the treatment. Highly recommended.โ€
