Staff at the desk were very helpful showing us where to go. The instructor was very relaxed and personable with the children and gave feedback after the swimming lesson. The pool was small compared to others in the area but it was actually warm and class sizes were small enough that each child got some one to one time with the instructor during the course of the lesson. The changing facilities were great and my kids were fascinated by the swimsuit drying machine.

Hi Sarah 

Thank you for your review. 

We are delighted to hear that the team at Brook Leisure Centre made you feel welcome and that your children enjoyed the lessons, personalised support, and facilities.

It is also great to hear that the warm pool and small class sizes made a difference, and that the on-site swimming costume dryer is keeping your children entertained!

Kind Regards

Not for me

Went to a yoga class. It was packed. Couldn't hear or see the teacher. The room was roasting because a member of the public decided he was in charge of the heating.

I was on a monthly contract of £23 following completing the referral programme. This recently changed to "Graduate" contact of £35 even though I'm a pensioner and should have been put on a senior rate as Better have all my details. Plus most of the aqua aerobic classes which I attend have been stopped meaning there is great competition getting a place on the two classes that are run.

Better made fitness more accessible financially. It provided exercise as a support to physio therapy treatment and the discount rate after the 12 week period has encouraged me to continue with Better Gym.
