The reason for a 3 star is the food and drink section.
The people behind the counter don’t look the most cleanest people to be working with food dirty hands & fingers nails.
Dirty cups being given for tea & coffee so I certainly wouldn’t eat there.
The actual centre it’s self no complaints very good just the food area not good

This relates to the astroturf pitch…
This relates to the astroturf pitch facility managed by the Better Gym at Hillingdon Sports and Leisure Complex.
My football group routinely hires the pitch on a Friday evening at 6.45pm.
The pitch has recently been replaced and is a great improvement on the patchy injury risk pitch before.
I have two concerns:
1. Changing room and showers - these sit close to the pitch.
For the last 10 weeks up to two weeks ago showers have been stone cold. Not horrendous given we have been in a heat wave.
For the last two weeks the hot water has returned. And when I say hot it is unbelievably hot. So hot you cannot get under the water. You can not even put a hand under which is less sensitive than the rest of your body.
I showered yesterday and ran all four showers in the bay for 10 minutes just to dilute the hot and it did nothing. What a waste of water, gas and time. I had to dip my washing cloth in the jet and have a bed bath. For a place that charges c£130 an hour it is shameful.
The water would literally burn you requiring hospital treatment. The TMVs cannot be installed or properly.
Just a matter of time before somebody is hurt and makes a claim.
On top of that when there are no pitch hires after our session the staff lock up the changing rooms and pitch facility. Sensible. Only thing is they do not check the changing rooms (literally walk 30 feet and open a door or two) and I have been locked in twice. Words fail me. The centre is a good walk from the pitch facility and fortunately they were not too far away when I triggered the alarms.
Great facility sloppy/lazy operation, dangerous showers.

We would like to investigate these matters with the team as a priority. Please send us a direct email at Customerservices@gll.org.
We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience on your next visit.

Outstanding and welcoming induction with Jaiman!
I recently joined the Hillingdon Sport and Leisure Complex and had a fantastic induction experience with Jaiman. As a new member, I was a bit unsure of what to expect, but Jaiman made me feel incredibly comfortable from the very start. He has a brilliant ability to make everything feel simple and easy to understand. He took his time to walk me through the facilities, thoroughly explaining and demonstrating how to use each piece of equipment. Jaiman is exceptionally well-organised, patient, and genuinely nice. His helpful guidance has given me the confidence I need to kickstart my fitness journey here.

Unacceptable
Unfortunately, it's filthy, dirty and full of perverts. They also allow men in T shirts and shorts and women in head to toe coverings in the water, even in the kids pool, some of whom sit their for hours. They do not wash on entry to the pool. It stinks, there is piss in changing rooms, and I was once assaulted in there by a creep. They also do not let you publish a review on Google reflecting these experiences. It's really poor. Some people come in there just to have a bath in the pool. There used to be hairy men standing under jets for hours in the kids pool, although less so now.

Fantastic swim courses
We have been going there for years for swimming lessons. It is fantastic! They teach the children great skills, even CPR and swimming with PJ-s on! Great teachers, everyone is friendly and knowledgable. Nothing is ever too much to ask for. Just recently I asked for the session to be moved and they done it straight away.

Dirty Lido and suffocating entrance hall.
The swimming pool at the Lido is the dirtiest I have ever seen. There is all sort of stuff floating or sitting on the bottom. When you swimming you come across dead insects, plastic straws, dirty bandages, pieces of plastic, you name it. The sediments on the bottom suggests that cleaning is not done daily as it should for a pool visited by hundreds of people every day. Near the outlets and along the perimeter there is a thick carpet of sediments off all sort.
The entrance hall is a sauna, no ventilation, aircon not working and because of the glasses on the roof there is a delighful greenhouse effect that is suffocating. I pity the people working there.
I expect more from a place that is not exactly cheap if you buy a full subscription.
The rest is not that bad, but overall the place does not look well taken care off. Many parts that needs fresh painting and repairing.

Great fitness instructors Sarika and Asta
I joined Better mainly because of the amazing yoga classes with Sarika and fitness classes with Asta. Both trainers are outstanding — very professional and genuinely motivating.
Sarika’s yoga sessions are well-structured, calming, and suitable for all levels.
Asta brings incredible energy and expertise to every fitness class.
