Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your review!
We’re sorry to hear that the cleanliness of the gym equipment didn’t meet expectations.
Your comments have been shared with the team, so we can review this further.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention!

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!
Warm Regards,
Kaisha

Frozen Account due to Health Issues
You said my account was frozen due to my health issues and credits would be applied to my account for part of December and whole of January but you have continued to take the full direct debit amount of £43.00 on 07/01/26!
January 9, 2026
Reply from Better - Truro Leisure Centre
We do apologise for any misunderstanding, Mr Evan.
When the freeze has been processed, the January payment was already due on the system, as the request was less than 20 days from the direct debit set date. However, I can now confirm your membership is frozen, and you have a membership credit on your account to cover the next payment.
Please do let me know if I can support you with anything else.
Kind Regards
Just do it!
Took my first swimming lesson as a ‘senior’ last week. The instructor was amazing and has given me confidence in the water . Looking forward to lesson 2!

Overall very happy
Friendly and welcoming staff always, which makes it a nice place to go to.
Great variety of classes and lots on the schedule so that I can make the most of my membership.
My only negative is that upstairs is a bit messy and looks tired, could do with a revamp.

I don’t know what went wrong but…
I don’t know what went wrong but apparently they are not aware that there is a class booked. I have to ask and wasted maybe 10-15 min for the teacher to cover the class and its only a 30min session. Teacher is nice but it looks like they just want to get it over and move to the next class. Not a good experience for a first timer.

Hi Rea,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your first session didn’t go as expected. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait and feel unprepared for a class you had booked in advance.
This is not the experience we aim to provide, especially to new students. We’re looking into what went wrong with the scheduling and will take steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Your feedback also highlights the importance of making every session—no matter how short—feel valuable and welcoming, and we’ll be reinforcing this with our team.
Thank you again, and we hope to see you back soon.
Warm regards,

Gym's
As the gym is small all of the equipment should be in good order. But 2 good bits of equipment are out of order and have been for a week. In other gyms you can use something else but the gym is so small you are limited

Hi Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when key equipment is out of order—especially in a smaller gym where options are limited.
Please know that we are actively working on getting the affected machines repaired and back in service as soon as possible. We’re also reviewing our maintenance response times to help prevent prolonged downtime in the future.
Your input is valuable, and we appreciate your patience while we work to improve your experience. If there’s anything we can do in the meantime to help you make the most of your workouts, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Good value with a great range of facilities
We joined the leisure centre and signed up for a gym induction. The gym instructor showed us how to use a range of equipment, paying attention to our goals and previous experience. He explained that after six weeks of training we could ask to move on to more advanced equipment. The memberships are good value, and as well as the gym there is a decent-sized swimming pool and exercise classes, which are mostly in the evenings. Changing rooms are generally clean and tidy. Bring your own toiletries for the showers.
