Good facilities
Good opening hours. Swimming places usually available but only snag is that on certain days of the week there is aqua aerobics which means only 2 lanes available and slow swimmers are disadvantaged. Gym acceptable.

Hi Hodigere,
Thank you for your feedback!
We're pleased to hear that you value our opening hours and that swimming sessions are generally accessible.
We appreciate your comments regarding aqua aerobics sessions and understand that reduced lane availability can sometimes affect swimmers, particularly during busier periods.
We're more than happy to share your consideration with the team for further review.
Thank you again for your review!

I knocked off 1 star as facilities for disabled showering. There is only 1 and most of the time able people are using it and I have to stand waiting for them to come out, in the meantime I am getting freezing. On another note the staff are fabulous, kind and happy people.

Hi Shelia,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the accessible shower facilities.
We understand how frustrating and uncomfortable it must be to have to wait, particularly when the facility is intended to support those who need it most. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and your comments will be shared with the team so that usage and signage around accessible facilities can be reviewed.
We’re very grateful for your kind words about our staff, and we’re pleased to hear they made a positive impression during your visit.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Warm Regards,
Hazal
Life changing experience
Joining Truro Better gym has made a massive difference to my health. Before joining I was lonely, and in pain with Osteoarthritis and walked with a stick. After 6 months of personalised gym sessions, daily AM swim's and aquarobics, I have no pain, have lost weight and am generally optimistic for the future. I love Sunday aquarobics, with great rock music. Thank you so much. A few more closed shower cubicles would be nice, even a grab rail inside one for though a light less stable but apart from that, I could not recommend you any higher. Everyone is so friendly and professional. It feels like a family.

Staff are great at Truro Leisure pool
Staff are great at Truro Leisure pool. I love the swim and the aqua fit classes. There are a few fitness instructors and they all have a slightly different style which is great as you never get bored with the ‘same old thing’. Its was Danielle today and She is amazing 😻
It’s a bit of a pain with the refurbishments going on- but hopefully in the end it’ll be better than ever!
Thanks everyone 🥰

Gym introduction
I recently attended a gym introduction session with Paul at Truro Leisure Centre and had a great experience. Paul was dedicated , friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain how to use the equipment safely and correctly, making me feel comfortable and confident in the gym environment.
He was patient with all my questions and tailored his advice to my fitness goals and experience level. The session was informative, encouraging, and well-paced, helping me understand how to make the most of the facilities available.
I would highly recommend Paul to anyone starting their fitness journey or looking for guidance and better result. His positive attitude and expertise made the introduction session both enjoyable and valuable.

We're really pleased to hear that your gym introduction session with Paul was such a positive experience. It's great to know that he made you feel comfortable and confident - especially when you're starting out, that kind of personalised, patient approach makes all the difference.
We'll absolutely make sure Paul gets to hear this feedback. It's brilliant to have team members who take the time to tailor their guidance to each individual's goals and experience, and your kind words will mean a lot to him.
We hope you're enjoying the facilities at Truro Leisure Centre and we look forward to seeing you continue on your fitness journey with us!

Lessons OK, Cleanliness Less So.
The swimming lessons are ok, the trainers seem really nice. However, the toilets and therefore the whole changing room seem to stink of pee/ sewage, this is perpetual whenever we go. The floor feels a bit gross after the heavy foot traffic and you rarely see anyone cleaning in the 2 hours I am there.
No one is on the desk most times and you have to ring and then someone will grudgingly come to the desk. I’ve been made to feel a nuisance when you ring the bell so I’d rather someone just be there but understand economically it’s not feasible.

Far too expensive
I do not understand how Truro can cost so much more than other leisure centres I use. I visit from time to time when in the area as I need to do fitness classes for my health. But the classes here at £11.45 are (in my opinion) extortionate for anyone on a lower income (I'm an OAP). As I only use occasionally, the membership offers are no help. I live in West Sussex, and for identical classes I pay £7.15 per session. I really think Better need to have a hard think about how they are adversely affecting people who really need their services, but are priced out of them.

Hi Liz,
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
We’re sorry to hear that you feel the class pricing at Truro Leisure Centre is too high, especially given the importance of keeping active for your health.
Please note that we offer a concessionary discounted monthly and pay-as-you-go (PAYG) membership.
You can view the PAYG prices using the following link:
https://www.better.org.uk/leisure-centre/cornwall/truro-leisure-centre/prices
Pricing can vary between centres due to the facilities operated in the given centre.
We understand this can be frustrating, particularly for those visiting occasionally or on a fixed income.
Your feedback is valuable, and we're more than happy to pass this on to the wider team.
Thank you again for your feedback!
