Hi Hilary,
Thank you for your feedback! We understand how frustrating it can be when popular classes fill up so quickly. We're constantly exploring ways to improve the booking experience and accommodate more members in high-demand sessions. In the meantime, we recommend setting reminders just before booking opens and keeping an eye on the app for any last-minute cancellations.
Your input is valuable, and we truly appreciate you being part of our community!
Best regards,

Helpful staff & decent facilities
I had a helpful meeting with one of the Better staff at Windrush Leisure Centre. My current health was assessed, followed by a gym induction and I am now going twice a week. I already feel stronger and more confident as a result.

Small pool cold and dirty
I took my toddler swimming in the small pool and was disappointed by how dirty and cold it was. Unless it improves I will not take him swimming there again.
The main pool was ok, also could do with a good clean and was pretty cold. All in all I am disappointed by the swimming facilities

Very dishonest
Not transparent with timetable, so they try to convince you to get the membership. Then you realise that you can't go on any of the times they told you.
Horrible management
