    This place is terrible, as a public service it's shocking how bad it is. Rude staff, don't respond to your emails. Charge you two months direct debit to cancel, but won't answer emails or phone to close it. they don't clean up dirty towels there are holes in the wall missing door handles locker handles etc.. gym equipment from the 1950's ( it's rusting) the pool has a coating of sludge and my daughter is traumatized after being dropped in the pool. The list goes on. No one to complain to as there is like one staff member for the entire place, who is rude and no help. Also it smells. Avoid.

    Err I’m not sure what had happened to this place. Hopefully they are getting the same treatment as Altrincham leisure centre because at this point there’s not much left to do but demolish the whole thing and start again. The hand dryers, hairdryers, changing room doors, benches, vending machines and tiles are all broken, the floor is constantly filthy and the pool is freezing. Honestly it’s a health hazard in this state. The whole place is a rotten hole and needs to be totally gutted.

    we pay for our 10 year old daughter to have swimmining lessons, we got told she can go for a swim whenever she likes as we pay monthly ,when she went they have refused entry and we have to pay extra . We pay £23 a month for a half hour lesson in a group which is quite expensive but we got told she can swim anytime she likes now they have stopped her going anytime if there wa sanywhere else we could take her we would in a flash dreadful service

    Please give me a👍 if helpful. This is my first attempt back at the leisure centre since before COVID. So far the class I attended was well run and I will be paying many more visits. I had a query which was resolved with the minimum of fuss at the front counter by a very pleasant and helpful lady member of the staff who also went to great lengths to explain my options and encourage me to take part in various activities. I will update over time as I become more familiar with the leisure centre again.

    Vile place. Female changing rooms are disgusting, absolute filthy. There's been no door on the female disabled changing room for over 3 weeks. Staff advise there is no alternative. Lots of notable repairs are needed, the building is falling to pieces.

    Changing room it so dirty and smells of wee all the time . The downstairs sofa is broken ... my son joined swiming lesson last year , he was in same stage after a year . Linsey ( swimming structure) wasnt bother to teach kids swimming . She just walked around the pool or talked to other staff ... my son was dreading going there . The pool is so cold for kids ... I Will Not Go back again.

    Not been for a long time can't believe how bad the changing rooms are, delapidated dirty, locks on doors don't work. Looks like it hasn't been updated since I took my children for their swimming lessons and now taking my Grandchildren. One of the seats on the ground floor was broken this week. Upstairs is better but not if you are watching the little pool.

    Kids lesson - 12 to a lane , 4 lanes open in the main pool . Baby pool 2 groups roughly 12 in each . Thats turned around every 25 minutes That’s a lot of children and not enough space in the changing rooms . The arguments my kids have witnessed lately with parents over lack of space / cubicles is disgusting. It’s a joke that some activities at sale still restricted due to covid yet come swimming lessons it’s pack them in . I would love a manager to comment on here where does he expect all the children to get changed .

    Great staff and swimming lessons for the kids. Has everything you need, some parts are a little dated but hopefully they will be updated in the next Refurb which I'm told is coming soon.

    No family changing rooms, only 1 baby changing mat that is broke, 1 chair for a baby to sit on which is also broke, which is right near the door where people are coming in and out, I had to get a customer to hold my baby whilst I got change as there was nowhere safe to put my baby, the play pen was dirty and had old food in it. Have to buy tokens for the lockers and don't get your money back as they only take the old pound coins so people leave their belongings in the changing rooms so there is no space to change.

    It was a good experience to be back in the leisure centre. The place is dated in parts and could do with an injection of money to certain parts of it, but this does not take away how mmaculately clean the centre is and the stuff are very friendly. All in all loved it and will be coming back.

  • 1/5 Angry S. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolute nightmare trying to book a swim for myself and my children. I have the ap but you can't book for anyone other than yourself. You can't book over the phone and you can no longer just turn up and pay on the door. Could trafford leisure make it anymore difficult. An absolute impossible task!!

    The lessons themselves are good but now the place is so overcrowded and the parking lots don't have enough space for everyone like it did before

    I'm a member of Trafford Leisure, I usually use Stretford site, but occasionally use the gym and pool at Sale. I do find it surprising that Stretford is getting a refurbishment when Sale is in a lot worse condition. It's perfectly functional, but there are signs of neglect, like the lockers in the changing rooms being essentially completely out of action. If the site gets refurbished in the next few years, it will definitely return it to former glories. If ascetics don't bother you and you're only interested in using a good pool(s) and adequate gym facilities, then this is perfect.

    Great leisure centre with LOADS of activities for children and adults. Such as swimming, 5 aside football, squash courts, badminton courts, karate classes and so much more. Free parking (must key in car reg in keypad inside reception)

  • 5/5 C B. 9 months ago on Google
    The five stars are for the swimming lessons my son has had. Firstly with Maria, now with Nicola. These have been great. The centre, well, there's not much to say is there? The staff try hard and I always see them cleaning. Some really friendly, personable staff. Shame the place is in such a sorry state. I imagine the staff don't really enjoy their working environment much. I do hope they have a good team to boost their morale.

    Situated right at the heart of Sale town centre. Large car park with free parking but make sure you enter you reg on the machine next to reception!

    Clean, safe and tidy, lots to do, extensive viewing facilities, plenty of trained, experienced instructors to help users of all ages and abilities, large car park.

  • 1/5 Michelle S. 1 year ago on Google
    So tonight 4/3/23 we have arrived for swimming lessons but cannot watch our children . Security guards in place as there is a Ramadan event upstairs . The car park is at gridlocked . Thank you from Trafford to your loyal serving customers who pay weekly yet cannot watch their children . Out of curiosity how much it to hire out the entire 2nd and 3rd floor with security ?

  • 2/5 Thomas Nimbus K. 1 year ago on Google
    Bit tired and grubby now. Needs some love. Plus they closed all the squash courts for seemingly no reason, so they could occasionally use them for classes and stop maintaining them; huge shame and removed my main reason to go.

  • 1/5 Joe Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Extortionate Parking Fine £60/£100 if you get it wrong!! We used the pool but still got stung. Why so much for a cheap old council leisure centre? It's a racket! Carpark so rundown it's barely fit for use.

  • 2/5 E W. 2 years ago on Google
    Never able to get a badminton court for an hour - always 50 mins only. The staff have difficulty knowing what the court costs are and the dry shower facilities have seen better days. The place needs to be updated.

  • 1/5 Danny H. 2 years ago on Google
    Swimming lessons for my child turned out to be a disaster due to poor people skills of the instructor, towards both the parents and my child. Terrible experience, look elsewhere.

  • 4/5 Mike D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great to be back in the pool again 👍

    The staff is very rude. They do not seem interested at all in helping customers. I feel like a burden if I ever need to ask something from the reception. Very disappointed

😠 The dirtiest most untidy and poorly managed gym I’ve ever seen. You see the same litter left in the exact same place for days. No gym floor management with more equipment on the floor than in its proper place. Terrible music with non stop adverts. Look at how thick the dust is!
