What made my experience great was that Better responded to my email enquiries, I got help onsite and my issue was seen to and resolved, although it took a while or short pace of time.

Barnet Copthall LC- very friendly and helpful staff.
After my negative experience in the car park ( an attempted theft) the manager Daniel Morris intervened and save my belongings. He was very helpful and he even borrowed me some of his own tools that I could fix the damage. Many thanks to him. Overall all the staff is polite and professional.

I am more than happy with their swimming lessons, gym classes, and customer support
I am more than happy with their services and customer support. This leisure centre has been our go-to for swimming and gym classes for 2 years. The pools are always well maintained and the staff genuinely make the difference. A special thank you to Lamia at reception, who always has an answer to my questions and sorts things out straight away. Highly recommend.

Daryn at Barnet Copthall is star
I'm new to Barnet Copthall. It was a hot day yesterday and the centre was particularly busy with families on half term. There was only one receptionist at the concierge in attendance and a long queue of people needing help.
Despite this, Daryn showed his ability to manage well under watchful pressure. He was patient and professional in mannerism, not only with the family in front of me, but also with me to help me resolve my issue. He went above and beyond to take the time to explain what I would need to do to ensure I scan my membership successfully to avoid future issues.

Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre is a…
Barnet Copthall Leisure Centre is a unique spot where both health and entertainment needs are well catered for. The location and spacious layout allow it to accommodate a large number of customers comfortably. The reception area and coffee shop are particularly impressive.
However, the online registration portal for booking beginner lessons and activities has noticeable glitches. When we first approached a male staff member at reception for assistance, he was quite impatient and seemed to place the blame on us for the registration issues. Unfortunately, we spent hours without receiving proper help.
The following day, we were assisted by Ms. Lamia at reception, and the experience was completely different. She was warm, welcoming, and highly professional. She listened carefully to our needs and concerns, and we were pleasantly surprised by how efficiently she handled everything—registering us and processing payment smoothly within minutes.
We are now thrilled to be enrolled in the swimming lessons and family fun swim sessions, and we’re really looking forward to attending more in the future.
