Hi Caz,
Thank you for getting in touch and for your feedback.
We’re really sorry to hear your concerns about the current lane swim timetable and the number of swimmers in sessions. We understand how important it is to have a comfortable and manageable environment when you’re using the pool.
Our timetable is reviewed regularly based on demand, staffing and overall usage, but we appreciate that it may not always feel balanced. Your comments about capacity are especially important and will be shared with the team to look into.
Warm Regards,
Hazal

Needs improvement
I signed my child up for monthly swimming lessons. I was told to arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time, which we did. I assumed we would have been shown around or given an induction. We were pointed in one direction by a member at the front desk; however, we sat there for ages while another swimming session was going on past our start time. I had to ask a member of staff, and she went to get the correct information and then took us to the right class. There was no swimming cap available, and the shower area was full of hair and dirt. I am looking for another swim class with more structure and cleanliness

Hi Kameal,
Thank you for your review!
We're sorry to hear that your recent visit to our centre didn't meet your expectations, particularly where you arrived early to attend your child's swim session.
We deeply apologise for not showing you to the correct station, as we appreciate that we've fallen short.
Due to this being during our peak times, our concierge at reception may not have been able to leave their post.
We also value your comments regarding the issues with the cleanliness in our hanging room space and the structure of the swimming lesson.
We're more than happy to share this with the team for further review.
Thank you again for your feedback!
Warm Regards,

Swimming lessons are not competent
Swimming lessons are not competent. Kids don’t seem to learn or expand their skills as they shld. Too many kids per instructor and a wide range of levels in one class.

The swimming lessons scheduled for last…
The swimming lessons scheduled for last Tuesday were canceled, but I wasn't informed until I checked with the front desk and learned that the instructor was not present. I had come from work and made the effort to travel to the center, yet no messages or notifications were sent to inform me about the cancellation.

Hi Pamela
Thanks for your review.
We are sorry to hear that your recent lesson was cancelled.
We understand how frustrating this can be and appreciate you providing us with this feedback.
Whilst we do empathise that cancellations can be disappointing, we try our best to ensure we minimise disruption wherever possible.
When our lessons are cancelled, an email is sent to all participants who are affected, so please do check that we have your current preferred contact information at your next lesson. Occasionally, a late cancellation might happen due to a technical pool fault or due to sickness in the pool, which is beyond our control, and we can't always inform the next lessons on time.
We will also pass this on to the centre team for their reference.
Warm Regards
Rachel
Better gym is only convenient as I do…
Better gym is only convenient as I do not live far, and the area is fine but the gym itself is not to bad.But the last time I went couple of the equipment was not usable as it was not FIX. i THING THE WHOLE AREA NEEDS SOME improvement.I think .some t.v on the wall so people can listen to news or watch some documentary whilst exercising. even though people are going there for fitness, losing weight keeping fit.It is boring atmosphere.And we are paying for membership and a service.Keeping fit and having a good time and also could benefit and meeting and talking to others.NOT JUST GOING THERE FOR ARE SELF AND JUST GETTING OUT.

They don't clean effectively at all in fitness pool area, just lazy!! …
They don't clean the cubicle changing rooms at all! except maybe the floor, come and see the residue all over the cubical walls of god knows what 🤮. Also today the sides of the swimming pool drains in the fitnees pool have a faint smell of urine 🤮 ,when resting you have to breath it in which makes me question the quality of the water all round 🧐 . I mean cleaning effectively is just basics instead of dosing on the job all day in a leasurely fashion let's face it there's laid back and then there's Laid back! . Diabilcal most of them talk to much anyway, too much talking not enough doing .I guess its the perks of the job 🤔LAZY!

I’ve passed your comments directly to our management and cleaning teams so we can investigate this as a priority. T
he concerns you raised about residue in the cubicles and the smell around the pool drains will be looked into urgently.
Our team should always be maintaining these areas consistently throughout the day, and I’m sorry that this hasn’t been reflected during your visit. We’ll be reviewing staffing, routines, and checks to ensure the facilities are cleaned thoroughly and regularly.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention , your feedback helps us improve,
