A warm welcoming atmosphere
A warm welcoming atmosphere, flowers and even a tree as you walk through the door. The staff Behind the reception desk are usual quick to respond to the bell on the desk. Lot's of different things to try such as tennis, tai chi, zumba to do. Gym is okay and sports hall is nice and cool during the summer heat.

App needs more work
Everything is all good while training at the Haydon Wick gym, Apart from 1 thing, The app isn't very good, It isn't tracking my workout progress or telling me anything about my workout sessions, I have spoken to staff at the gym and also emailed Better Support team, Even they have no idea why the app isn't working correctly for me. But 1 person said it maybe due to recent changes to the app and said they would look into the issue for me and they'd get back to me ASAP, Still waiting, but it would be nice to be able to track my progress with my gym sessions on the app.

My experience at this gym has been absolutely terrible. For the money I paid, I endured disrespect, neglect, passive-aggressive behavior, and sarcastic comments. The staff showed no responsibility towards their clients, and on top of that, the gym itself was cold and dirty. Based on my extremely negative experience, I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The staff at Haydon Centre
The staff at Haydon Centre, Swindon, have been incredibly helpful. When we first signed up and were trying to sort inductions, Rob went out of his way to help us and make us feel welcome - showing us around and helping to get an induction booked at a time that worked well for us. On our induction, Travis was friendly and helpful and took care to make sure my 11 and 13 year olds (and I) knew how to use the equipment. All other staff have been pleasant and helpful too.
I’m impressed with the range of equipment, the cleanliness of the facility and the flexibility that the opening times provide. Really pleased with our decision to join!!

Barre Basics
Nadia is such a wonderful teacher, the atmosphere and other participants were just wonderful too. I haven't done Barre for years and it was just as I remembered :). Excellent workout.
