Easy to set up swimming lessons. Swim leader was very friendly and welcoming. The swim teacher took time with our daughter to see what level of water confidence she was at.

Women's changing room is very dirty, wet floor, lots of hair on the floor, very old style and dirty lockers and no hangers in the lockers. You need to dump your cloths down on the lockers! I've heard... See more

Good Afternoon Owen,

Thank you for your review.

I am very sorry to hear that your swimming lesson was cancelled without any notification from the centre. The centres are required to text or call customers if a swimming lesson is cancelled so please accept our sincere apologies if this was not done. I will pass on your comments for the attention of the centre so they can update all customers in the future if lessons are cancelled.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Charmaine

Dangerous lack of staff in the gym

£40 a month is far from being a free service, but even so the instructor who supposedly should be in the gym to guide and care for the users is almost invisible, few minutes you see then, when that much. It seems that you only have guidance if you contract a personal trainer, a very expensive deal. Anyway, it is undoubtedly a very dangerous situation to leave users on their own in an environment where you have equipment able to cause injuries if badly used.

Good Afternoon Paulo,

Thank you for your review.

We are very sorry to hear that a Fitness Instructor is not available on the Gym floor when you attend the centre. The Fitnbess Instructor should be on the Gym floor to ensure the customers are using the equipment correctly so they do not harm themselves and to also be on hand to assist with any help customers may require. I will pass on your feedback for the attention of the centre manager so they can look into this. We appreciate you taking the time to write your review as through customer feedback we can improve on the areas that require attention.

Kind regards,

Charmaine

Gym induction

Went for my gym induction at Morden and receptionist took me up there. Then to be told the instructor had a class to teach in 15mins when my app should have been an hour long. Was shown the exercise machines i wanted to use in that time but don’t think i should have had to pay for £20 for what I did receive! Not instructors fault however as he kept being booked on to do both.

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for sharing your experience regarding your gym induction at Morden. 

We apologise for the inconvenience and misunderstanding regarding the duration of the session. 

We understand that you expected a full hour but were only able to receive a portion of it due to the instructor's scheduling conflicts.
While it wasn't the instructor's fault, we acknowledge that it was not an ideal situation for you. We apologise for any frustration caused. 

Your feedback is important to us, and we will review our scheduling processes to ensure that similar situations are avoided in the future.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we value your support as we strive to provide the best possible service to our customers.

Kind regards
Ivy

I really love the Morden Better Leisure BUT…

I really love the Morden Better Leisure Centre - staff are fantastic and it is a brilliant space. Light and airy.
The reason it only gets 3 stars is that there are so few swimming sessions & even worse - so few classes. They book up in minutes and it is very frustrating!
This could be a truly excellent resource but they need to sort out more classes and extra swimming sessions. I would like to come swimming without having to prebook.
