Everything is satisfactory BUT

Everything was totally satisfactory. But one thing in Platinum Jubilee leisure centre, there is no padlock lockers/or better arrangements for disabled people with dementia as it’s not easy for such People to keep using coin or tokes. This is not permanent solution for lockers and it’s not easy for them to keep buying tokens. It’s stressful.

Great addition to the area

The Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre has been a great addition to the area.
There was a recent technical issue with the virtual Pilates class which staff tried to resolve but I was refunded promptly. I attend the Pilates classes weekly on Tuesdays. I hope that more in-person sessions will become available in the future so that I can attend these if I am unable to make the ones on Tuesday.

Iv been using the gym which is clean with modern equipment iv had no issue getting on the machines I want to use.

Staff Reluctant To Help

I visited the centre twice to enquire about swimming lessons for my daughter. Unfortunately, on both occasions, the customer service left a lot to be desired.

During my second visit, the receptionist seemed reluctant to help and initially suggested that I come back later to speak to someone else. When I explained that this was my second visit and that I had already experienced poor customer service, her attitude improved, and she became more helpful, providing straightforward answers to my questions.

It’s disappointing that it took raising my concerns before I received the assistance I was looking for. I hope the centre can improve the consistency of its customer service, as a more welcoming and proactive approach would make a much better experience for visitors.

Hi Lee,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and thank you for sharing such detailed feedback.

We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive inconsistent customer service, especially after making more than one visit. It’s not the experience we want for our customers, and you’re absolutely right that a welcoming and proactive approach should be standard from the outset.

While it’s positive that you were eventually able to get the information you needed, it’s clear that this should have been handled more effectively from the beginning. Your comments will be shared with the centre team so they can review and improve the consistency of their customer service.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Warm Regards,

Reception staff rarely greet guests with a smile, which is disappointing and not what you would expect.

The café food is overpriced and not enjoyable — I ordered a chicken wrap that was cold, poorly prepared, and contained large, tough pieces of chicken that were difficult to chew.

On a positive note, the swimming pool is nice and well maintained.

The staff seem friendly and very helpful and the facilities are clean and working properly. I don’t like the “cashless only” policy as I leave my cards at home and don’t have payment on the phone. The main problem happened today as I used the pool for the first time. I needed to buy a token for a locker but its card payment only so one of the staff gave me one to help. I put my things in and shut the door then realised I’d still got my tee shirt on😅. I reopened the door and the token dropped into the box. I explained to a lovely member of staff who got me another token. I chose another locker, put the token in and it just fell through into the box! The staff member looked at the locker and she suspected this one was faulty. Next token and locker worked fine! It just seems crazy to cause this amount of stress for a 30p token so why oh why not make them reusable are put the price up by 30p to cover costs. Apart from that 5 stars!

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your review of Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre!

We’re really pleased to hear you’ve found our staff friendly and helpful, and that the facilities are clean and running well. I’m especially glad our team were able to step in quickly and help when you had trouble with the locker tokens, although I’m sorry for the frustration it caused you. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

Your feedback about the locker token system is really valuable, and we completely understand your point about the inconvenience for such a small charge. We’ll be sure to pass your comments on to the relevant team, as suggestions like yours help us review and improve our processes.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. We always welcome feedback from our customers, so please do keep it coming; it really helps us continue to improve.

We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Warm Regards,
Abdus

I did not like the mixed swimming pool area changing room and lack of personal shower cubicles; because of this I am seriously considering changing to Nuffield Health sports and leisure or Pure Gym

I am so disappointed about this leisure centre’s performance!!!especially because its a brand new building…..i am a member for about two weeks,i paid in full for the services and facilities of this point but it seems like the employees are trying to save energy and money for the council.How is possible for a brand new building and everything inside to have ever sauna or steam room broken every week or more than that???so what i am paying for???i was waiting more than two years for this leisure centre to be open and now?…..very poor service!…i did sent an email to the council saying that they have issues with the sauna and steam room but didn’t receive anything!….it seems like they like to take money from our pockets only for pictures and stories,nothing else i”am afraid.
However,if they don’t change anything in the next teo weeks,then i will make an appeal to the Customer Service Protection Department because is not fair at all.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your review!

Whilst we appreciate your feedback regarding the maintenance of our health suite space, we understand that you currently have a Better Health Centre agreement.

This enables you to use our gym, swimming, fitness classes and health suite facilities.

We can see that you're regularly using other facilities outside the sauna.

We'll be sharing your comments with the wider team for further review, and we apologise for any frustration this has caused.

Thank you again for your review!
