It’s a nice Centre but it wasn’t manned, at least the day I went there for the first time. I struggled to access the gym. Someone came to my rescue eventually. The cafeteria was closed, couldn’t buy water. I don’t see the point of having a nice facility like that and no one around to ask questions or to attend to you.

Good Afternoon BS,

Thank you for your review.

I am very sorry to hear that there was no staff present when you attended the Plumstead leisure centre recently. The centre would have staff available at all times due to Health & Safety, however they may have been in another location when you came in. The Café at the Plumstead leisure centre is currently closed so please ensure you bring your drink with you when attending the centre.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused when you attended the centre. We hope you can continue to enjoy your membership at this centre going forward.

Kind regards,

Charmaine

Hi Owen,

Thank you for your review.

The staff should be checking equipment/cleaning products regularly, but if you see something has run out, please report this to the concierge team at reception so they can replenish anything which may have run out.

Warm Regards

Good Morning Tony,

Thank you for your lovely review.

We are delighted to hear that you received assistance from a member of staff at the centre when you experienced issues with the App. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, so I am happy to hear that this is the service you have received so far. We hope your son is now able to use the App to make bookings online so he is able to enjoy his membership. I will pass on your lovely feedback for the attention of the centre.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Charmaine
