Great experience
The gentleman at reception was friendly and managed to get both my children onto the same class even though they are different abilities. The swimming teachers were great and the children wanted to come back. Price wise, fair and worth it.

Family swims have rocketed up in price.
Family swims have rocketed up in price.
Over £18.00 for a family of 5 at eastlands leisure centre.
Disappointing and not accessible with the cost of living crisis.
No other pools in the area.

A new beginning
We decided to living our life healthier.
Me and my son wanted to be more active and stronger.
I have attended recently on a Gym induction session. This was the very first time when I could take a closer look around the Gym and every machine in it.
The staff who lead the induction was helpful and told me and show me all information about how to use every machines. When I got any questions he explain me everything. I think the staff name was Sean in East Manchester Leasure Centre. My overall experience was great. They did everything to make easier our first move for a healthier life.
The atmosphere is friendly and helpful.
I would recommend this Centre to everyone.
