    This place is horrendous, toilets smell, staff who are so rude, cocky and disrespectful they really don’t know how to deliver customer service or intact have a polite conversation. The older Blonde lady who sits behind the desk thinks she’s never wrong, speak to kids to disrespectfully and frankly left my little sister gutted because she made a mistake and put us in for the wrong session so got removed after 15 minutes. She really needs a lesson in customer service and stop acting like a mini dictator. I’m angry, annoyed and upset and this baths has always caused people issues. Avoid at all costs !!!!!!!

    Very clean gym, but the fitness gym is a little small for my liking and quite busy at the time I went so you couldn't get on some of the equipment

  • 5/5 Antony Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Summer holiday swimming with the kids. 1 gets in free as she is taking lessons in Salford. Family changing area so you don't get split up. 2 lanes marked for proper swimmers. Only the main pool open as there was lessons in the small one. Shallow end 1.5m full of mums and dads with small children. The middle 2m with the more grown up children who could swim, still with adults. The deep end 3.5m, all the big kids with no parents, so lots of dive bombing, but still respectful of others. Other facilities like sauna and gym I could see, but didn't try.

    I've been to this fantastic leisure centre quite a few times and it has always met my expectations. Friendly staff members, clean changing rooms and the swimmig pool is big, which is filled with clean and fresh water. Love it. Keep up the great work, guys!

    I have been a dedicated member of this gym for the past year, visiting daily, and overall, my experience has been positive. The gym boasts a range of new and well-maintained machines, which have contributed to enjoyable workout sessions. The cleanliness of the facility is commendable, as the staff ensures that everything is kept in pristine condition. One aspect that stands out is the level of privacy among customers. While some may prefer a more social environment, I appreciate the fact that fellow gym-goers tend to focus on their workouts without unnecessary chit-chat. It creates a serene atmosphere conducive to concentration and personal goals. However, there is one drawback that I must mention—the water in the showers. The temperature is consistently set to very hot, which can be quite uncomfortable, especially after an intense workout. It would be beneficial if the gym management could address this issue and provide an option for adjustable water temperature. Overall, I am happy with my membership at this gym. The combination of new and clean equipment, along with the respectful and quiet atmosphere, has contributed to my positive experience. I hope that the matter of hot showers can be resolved, as it would further enhance the overall satisfaction of gym members.

    Promised my grandchildren an ice-cream when we finished our family swim at 3.00pm on Sunday. Apparently, because the staff had cashed up I couldn't purchase any 😟

    Went for a swim with 1 off my grandkids. The place was clean and not crowded. Perfect to learn to swim or too enjoy swimming yourself

  • 5/5 jo f. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite leisure centre. This one is less crowded and noisy than some. It has a nice chilled vibe, and because it feels more laid back, it's always my first choice.

  • 1/5 David R. 9 months ago on Google
    Disappointing. We went on Saturday instead of our usual Sunday routine; on arrival we could see through the windows that swimming lessons were in place on both sides of the pool taking up 3 of the 7 lanes , access to the centre of the pool required crossing these lanes and with young children in the shallow end and older children in the deep end there was very little room to swim.

  • 5/5 Phil G. 9 months ago on Google
    Great sports centre, played badminton, courts grippy and not to many confusing lines, Changing rooms clean with hot showers.

  • 3/5 Kathryn T. 9 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff, good viewing area and nice coffee shop but could do with a good clean in the viewing area and the showers need improvement

  • 3/5 Rodney c. 8 months ago on Google
    Decent leisure centre equipment in the gym could use a bit of TLC and some staff could be more useful but the veterans who work there are golden

  • 5/5 Sue G. 9 months ago on Google
    Have only ever been swimming here but find it to be good. Lifeguards are always attentive and the changing rooms clean. Staff friendly.

  • 4/5 Helen W. 10 months ago on Google
    This is my favourite fit city in Salford and we try to visit weekly. The staff are always friendly and so are the members, this goes for in the gym, pool or on reception. The pool here is my favourite, mainly down to the view outside - it looks out to the park so you can see the trees as you swim. The changing rooms are generally clean, and you'll need a £1 coin for the lockers. They have a little 'cafe' area as well as vending machines with a nice selection of drinks and snacks.

  • 4/5 John M. 1 year ago on Google
    Take my daughter swimming regularly. Always friendly and good facilities. The armbands and accessories are very expensive

  • 1/5 Pepe D. 7 months ago on Google
    The gym is small and poorly equipped but a quarter of the space is permanently set up for a spinning class. The equipment is really poor quality. Someone must have taken a bribe to buy that load of junk. There's never any staff on hand to help or give advice. I'm really disappointed with the place.

  • 2/5 Lindsay 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely disgusting place Changing rooms filthy, mud, hair rubbish all over the floor, not a one clean cubicle was found and stunk of wee. Felt itchy when I came out of there would never go back

  • 3/5 select car S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice big pool however needs a refurbishment which the council haven't got the money for... Also could do with a clean (Grimey) won't stop me going as its good value and isn't overly full 🌝 at this time of the year.

  • 4/5 Erica L. 1 year ago on Google
    I am here weekly it is a decent building easily accessible has various departments for various needs... It could do with staff being more on top of wiping down surfaces other than that it is a great facility

  • 4/5 Natalie W. 1 year ago on Google
    The showers stay on for 5 seconds. There is a hairdryer on the changing room for the pool which has been broken for weeks. Other than that it is a fabulous pool and the water is a lovely temperature. Ample free parking and friendly staff.

    Good swimming pool, bit dated and could do with a refurb, but appreciate councils don't have the cash for these facilities anymore.

  • 4/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    Would be better if the lifeguards managed the swim lanes so the slow slow slow swimmers stay in the slow lane otherwise a great facility

  • 5/5 Gareth A. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean and tidy, great little side swimming pool for my daughter as she is learning to swim and building confidence in the water.

  • 4/5 Christian E. 3 years ago on Google
    Really great pool, Covid secure, and free EV charging in the car park. Could do with more Swim sessions as 90 mins between sessions is too much.
