Hello Sharon,
Thank you so much for your kind wordsIt’s great to hear that our team was able to support you and keep you informed throughout the process.
No air con in the main hall makes large classes very uncomfortable.
Despite many complaints and for a very long time now the Olympia centre, Belfast still has no air con in the main hall. It is where large classes do activities, and lots of times two large groups share the space. It makes it a very uncomfortable environment for our classes. The temperatures are very high and we have no circulation of air. This needs urgent attention.

Hi Bronagh,
Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this important issue to our attention.
We sincerely apologise for the discomfort caused by the lack of air conditioning in the main hall at the Olympia Centre. We understand how challenging it can be to participate in classes under such conditions, especially when the space is shared by large groups.
Please know that we are aware of this concern and are actively exploring solutions to improve air circulation and overall comfort in the hall. Your safety and comfort are very important to us, and we appreciate your patience as we work toward making the environment better for everyone.
If you have any further suggestions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your understanding and support.
Kind regards,
Charmaine
Cancelation of classes 4 hours in…
Cancelation of classes 4 hours in advance just does not make any sense. Something urgent came up last minute and for that the App didn't let me cancel and got a £3 penalty for non attendance. Not bothering about the 3 quid, is just the policy is illogical.
The receptionist was really kind and approachable.

We strive to ensure fairness while also managing our scheduling needs, and we’ll certainly take your comments into consideration for future improvements. We're glad to hear that our receptionist was kind and helpful — we’ll make sure to pass along your compliments!
Kindly note that we are willing to waive a penalty charge if you cannot attend due to unexpected circumstances. In the future, please consult the reception staff at the centre if you receive a penalty charge for such reasons, so they can help you with its removal.
If you have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We value your input and hope to provide a better experience moving forward.

Drinking water and hygiene
Drinking water some day was excellent, some day was lacking and hygiene on cups and jugs as I noticed staff grabbed jug by putting hand on edge of the jug instead of using the handle. The jugs brought back with glasses. I drank good amount of water from there and consciously waiting on any symptoms of any kind. I got diarrhea that night and it last for few days! 🤒 I am scared to drink water from there now 😭.

Hi N Kerr,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I'm really sorry to hear that you got sick after drinking water.
Hygiene and food safety are incredibly important, and we take your feedback seriously. I apologise for the way the jugs were handled, as that is definitely something we need to address with our staff to ensure proper practices are followed. I understand your concern, and we'll look into improving both the hygiene practices and the overall quality of the water service. Your health and safety are a priority for us, and we hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. If you'd like to discuss this further or share any additional concerns, please feel free to reach out.
Kind regards,

The use of mobile phones is prohibited…
The use of mobile phones is prohibited and yet people are sitting in the spa on their phones. Its hard to tell which cups are clean and which are dirty and the dispensers for shampoo and condition quite often don't work.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your review.
I am very sorry to hear of the above issues you experienced at the Olympia Leisure Centre Spa. Mobile phones should not be used in the Spa area due to privacy so if you see customers with the mobile phone you can bring this to the attention of the Spa staff and they will address this with the customers concerned.
I am very sorry to hear that the Spa soap and shampoo dispensers are usually empty when you attend. I will pass on your feedback to the attention of the Spa manager so this can be investigated and resolved for future visits.
We hope this has helped.
Kind regards,
Charmaine
