Better - Sobell Leisure Centre Reviews 

A persistent problem in reserving Yoga classes in advance has become an annoyance in having to regularly trouble either local Sobell staff or the Customer Service assistants in Belfast to deal with. I suspect that there was a software patch or upgrade effected back in November which has ocassion Ed this regular booking problem wherein classes appear fully booked a week in advance and one is advised to enter a “Waiting List”. This never happened over the years that I’ve been using Sobell’s generous panoply of exercise facilities but since November/December ´23 a situation has become apparent affecting many of the regular clientele in Yoga especially booking for Thursday sessions ( more so than Monday sessions). Perhaps Better Islington could consider increasing the number of yoga sessions as were available before the 2021 Covid pandemic and the catastrophic inundation caused by Thames Water’s negligence in not clearing nor maintaining the storm water gulleys which severely impacted on the Sobell Centre. The remaining staff have been resilient doing their utmost to facilitate as much as they can to help local citizens to look after the health and well-being. Now that reinstatement and re-purposing of the Centre’s facilities seem to be almost completed and monetary compensation provided by the loss-adjusters May one hope for a return to more yoga classes in the near future? Well done to all and thanks Zen for your efficient, expeditious handling of my problem.🙏👍

Booked a so called toddlers world session for my 2 year old at Sobell
Got to venue there was 1 slide a small ball pit and gymnastics apparatus which they had the cheek to call soft play.
So disappointed
Spoke to a manager who was rude when I said I was going to request a refund was not sympathetic but said " well pack up your stuff make your way down stairs and I will issue you one"total d#@£ head.
Will never bless this place with my presence again!!

Extremely efficient and charmingly obliging staff considering the immense impact of the recent catastrophic inundation which caused so much upheaval and curtailing of the manifold activities.
The regular, long-term staff remain courteous, positively upbeat and always obliging: zGLL should find the resource to give them all a financial reward over and above their pay-grade; this especially for your Yoga and Pilates instructors who do so much for the general health of participants, and if Public Health audit allowed, would demonstrate exceptional cost benefits to the NHS. The benefits to Communities served by Sobell and other GLL sites needs official recognition especially in the wake of the recent pandemic.

Amazing costumer service and very clean! Stephen is an amazing instructor and I managed to learn how to use the equipment.

Very nice staff made my daughter comfortable on her 1st day.
Good inspiration for kids.
