I have been a member for 4+ years now and I love all the classes they offer, the instructors are so approachable and the staff in general is kind. What I mostly love is the wide range of activities they offer and having so many facilities together has made my life so easy. My work timetable changes a lot so I just go to the app and book a class that is convenient for me. When there is not one I just go to the gym or the pool. Of course there are some things that might need to improve like the pool changing rooms. There is always room for improvement but for me is a 5 stars place. well done Westcroft Leisure center.

The staff are very helpful and welcoming, however the changing village and showers need more regular cleaning. Hair everywhere and soaking wet. I'm a member so I am there regularly. I feel like I'm going to catch something from that floor every time I go. It never used to be that dirty. Went to another leisure centre today and it was spotless. More...

Staff are very friendly and my son has been having lessons here for a few years now which I am happy with. Price has gone up by 25% in the last two years though with the biggest increase this last year which I don't think is acceptable for classes of up to 8 children with one teacher. .. My biggest gripe is how dirty the place is and how run down. Multiple changing rooms do not lock and have never locked the whole time I come. People leave stuff in changing rooms all the time and staff do nothing about it. Often cannot find a changing room when it is peak time. The floors are always so dirty and wet in the changing rooms. Some lights don't work so changing rooms can be dark and are dirty inside them too. Often there is whole areas blocked off for weeks at a time. Furthermore they've now changed the locker system so instead of £1 and it being returned it's 20p and no where to get change. The changing rooms also often smell really badly and have some kind of flies/fruit flies. Soap dispensers and taps not working in toilets and never have the whole time I've been there and often the toilets are dirty too. Price is going up but the overall experience is going down. I am debating going elsewhere because of this. It's such a shame as it never used to be like this, but now just looks tatty and unloved. More...

I'm a new member. I've been to some classes. The booking is challenging. You have to watch the app consistently either to get into a class or to not get charged. I think I've cancelled and I get charged so I'm unhappy. I either need to constantly be watching the app or not take classes. The classes are over crowded as they do not have enough, so might not bother anymore. The positive is the gym is clean, a good facility and close by. The negative is it's hard to access and overcrowded when you do. Might cancel if nothing improves. More...

This has a wide range of facilities including swimming, gym, a large multi purpose hall for badminton, football, indoor bowls, and many others. A large free car park is very convenient. Classes can be booked and there are plenty of them each day. More...

Fantastic pool and nice complex. Unfortunately the swimming pool changing rooms were filthy and had tiles missing from the ceiling. Also the 20p charge for lockers is such a ridiculous system. They even have a sign on reception saying they don't have change for lockers. So many people got caught out while we were there. More...

The wonderful lady at the front let me use the sports hall to fold and pack my paraglider wing. I was expecting a 'computer says no' situation but that wasn't the case. Thank you, very kind.

My first time taking my little one swimming he is 5 months, and I was a little disappointed. The first part was my mistake although I think it could be a bit more clear. I booked onto public swimming thinking this was including the baby pool (teaching pool) but I didn’t know you had to look at the little description to see that it says if the teaching pool was included. So the teaching pool was opening at 1 and we was booked onto the 12-1 session we gave the main pool a try but was far too cold for a baby. Our bags were in the pool side and whilst my friend was in the pool with her baby I got out and went on my phone to book us onto the 13:00 session and the lifeguard turned round to me and he said no phone on pool side so I said ok and put my phone away and spoke to my friend and bare in mind he is half way down the pool, can’t hear my conversation and I wasn’t making any contact anywhere near his direction he turned round to me rudely and full of attitude and said sorry what was that and I replied I was talking to my friend and he rolled his eyes and turned back around. This then just put me in such a bad mood and we just got out got changed and went home. It completely ruined my first experience taking my little one swimming and I’m not sure if I was to return or not. More...

First visit today, an overall good experience although assuming it's a shared shower, I don't think the man understood it maybe a good idea to keep his trunks on. 4 stars ad I failed to find an unoccupied changing cubicle with out a broken door ( although I only checked 2 before giving in and used my bag to hold the door closed ) More...

I recently just moved to the area looking for a local gym. Popped in here and asked a young lady on reception about gym prices. She didn't say anything to me but just pointed to a see through glass room where a guy was on the phone. As soon he saw me waiting he span his chair round facing the other way on his phone "important" phone call. Apparently the guy just happens to be the one that deals with the memberships. I asked him few questions and he just gave me one word answers as if what I'm asking is too much. I left the Westcroft Lesiure centre and went to a pond nearby to feed the ducks and squirrels which were more welcoming. More...

Helps you to get fit quicker and i would recommend this leisure centre because it is very clean and impeccably tidy. Update: I now go to the gym here almost every day and I must say that it is the tidiest gym you will ever find and if something isn't in the right place, the staff are always happy and on hand to help you. When I first started out, the staff were extremely friendly and v.helpful with tips on what I needed to do for each piece of equipment. The majority of the equipment is made by Technogym and the free weights are Technogym Pure Strength. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to go. I also go swimming here; the pool is v.clean during the later hours of the day - I'm not too sure about any times earlier than 6pm (I don't usually go anytime before that) but I'm pretty sure the pool is carefully maintained and cleaned throughout the day. There are eight lanes, although some may be used for swimming lessons. Sometimes, there may not be a lane separator between lanes, which creates one giant lane to use (usually not more than 2 lanes wide). Again, I highly recommend Westcroft Leisure centre, I've managed to lose 6kg in a month! More...
