Better at Leatherhead with Darren Pope and team delivering improvements
Leatherhead Leisure Centre has improved enormously since Better took over.
A lot of improvements were necessary and obviously they can’t all be done at once, but the changes made have been welcomed with more in the pipeline.
The manager is a breath of fresh air. Very approachable, a good listener and keen to get things right for his customers.
I’m looking forward to the next programme of improvements.
Keep the good work coming Darren.

Good classes
Whilst I really have enjoyed my recent classes the instructors at both classes did not ask if anyone was new or if anyone has injuries etc that they needed to know about . One class that was supposed to be 45 minutes was 30.

Hi Collette,
Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying your recent classes at the Leatherhead Leisure Centre! We also truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. It’s very important to us that every participant feels safe, supported, and informed during each session. We’ll make sure to remind our instructors to check in with new participants and ask about any injuries at the beginning of class. Regarding the shortened session, we apologise for the confusion and will look into what happened there to ensure consistency moving forward.
We hope to see you back again soon!
Kind regards,

School children
There are a lot of school kids here, who seem to use the gym more as a social spot than an actual gym, which is very frustrating as the gym is usually packed at the time adults are using it i.e. after working hours.

Thumbs up!
Massivily impressed with the new improved facilities.
Gym equipment is high end with plenty of choice and units available. The outdoor balcony where to exercise in the open air is a nice addition to the above.
Clean and tidy and good price compared to other clubs in the area.

I applied for a refund for monthly membership, due to the health suite facilities being closed for 6 weeks. The refund has been granted within the stated 14 days and without problems. I thought this was really good service and look forward to renewing the membership in the coming months. I would just add I don't know why Leatherhead Leisure Centre chose to refurb the sauna during winter. I think that is when it is most popular.

This gym has had a total refurbishment and now looks immaculate. Brand new state of the art equipment wonderfully laid out. They have also refurbished their studios and the floors are perfect for classes of all kinds and the air conditioning works very well.
I saw people of all age groups enjoying their gym experience and this gym is a credit to the community. It was comforting to see the enthusiasm of all staff members and I also witnessed Senior Management getting their sleeves rolled up helping gym members and staff deliver an excellent service. I now use this gym as my preferred go to gym and highly recommend it.
