Staff are really welcoming and lots of fitness activities to do, its just a shame that sometimes things are not working in the gym and straps are broken on the rowing machines.

I just wanted to give a shout-out to a very helpful member of staff on the reception desk at West View Leisure Centre today (28th August 2026). Mark made me aware that by making myself a pay as you go member, I could save money on my swims at the centre. This is in turn likely to allow me to use the facilities more. Thanks Mark, your recommendation is appreciated!

Wouldn’t be my first choice
Wouldn’t be my first choice, only attend as it has a ladies only section however this is just a square box room w limited equipment! No AC and one measly fan so you can imagine how stuffy it always is inside. Site always feels dusty and never clean enough

The pool is absolutely freezing
The pool is absolutely freezing! My daughter does swimming lessons at the centre and has mentioned it is cold, I decided to swim with her today and it’s ridiculous! She has recently done lessons with school at fulwood and has commented their pool is warm! Why is the temperature so low I have never known a pool like it. I will now be looking elsewhere as it seems this has been mentioned by others and nothing done.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your review!
We're saddened to hear about the issues your little one has experienced with the pool temperature at our West View Health Leisure Centre.
We're more than happy to raise this with the wider team to see if there are any issues with this.
We're also sorry that you're now looking for an alternative location to have her swimming lessons due to these issues.
Thank you again for your feedback!
Warm Regards,

Available spaces on App is misleading
Just recently joined as a member and after booking a fitness swim for 8pm (49 spaces available on the app) was disappointed when arrived as half the pool was closed off to a swimming lesson of only 5 people. Over 15 people arrived for fitness swim resulting in us all being squashed into 3 very small lanes.

The gym is disappointing
The gym is disappointing, the TV screens have been removed, the treadmills cooling fans don't work or the tv within it. For the cost of the monthly charge it's too much for the equipment.
The gym no longer holds the equipment that records ur workout, no fobs, no staff within the gym if ur unsure on the machine.
