    This is a lovely swimming pool. We live nearer to Barkingside pool but choose to come here because it’s cleaner and well maintained. The changing room area is good with plenty of lockers and changing cubicles, you need to bring your own padlock or you can purchase one at the reception. The main pool is nice and cool and the children’s shallow training kids pool is nicely heated. There are also hairdryers provided. Very nice.

    Classes at this gym are good, especially Tuesday 6.30am BoxFit class. Gets you pumped and ready for the day! Instructor is the BEST, she’s a real laugh and very attentive. Really makes a change to the virtual classes they have there. Swimming, sauna and steel facilities are also a great plus. 5*

    Decent equipment and not busy at lunch. Every gym has people who don't re rack weights but this place is a joke. Barbells on Squat racks and Smith machines with over 100kg in weights regularly left on for other people to clear up. Pretty much every weight machine has plates loaded on. Far and away the worst gym for it I've been to in 15 years. Shame.

    This is a place where thieves frequent. Your belongings are not safe. They have a communal changing room for the swimming pool with booths to change in. There is no one in attendance at all ensuring theft does not occur and no CCTv. For just £5.70 anyone can enter the leisure centre to have a good theft session. Today, Saturday 9th December 2023 in the morning, several lockers were broken into and personal belongings were stolen including mobile phones and cash from those who were enjoying their session in the swimming pool. Thieves are obviously very welcome as patrons have no protection.

    My 11 year old Daughters’ locker was broken into, her phone and money stolen today. Multiple other lockers were broken into with bank cards, phones, car keys etc stolen. LLC basically don’t care. They should be able to double check the guys credentials as they have him on CCTV but they aren’t bothering. Pathetically disgraceful

    I recently had to cancel my membership because I can’t bring myself to go to this gym anymore. Apart from the general lack of atmosphere the moment you step into this place, you are greeted with no greeting from any member of staff, followed by miserable walk to the disgusting changing rooms (if you can actually bring yourself to go into them). My biggest issue however is the staff and how a restructure hasn’t been considered. The staff are rude, confrontational and off putting. Unless you are a part of the group whom the staff congregate with, you are ostracised and victim to unfair treatment such as being told to not wear boots in the gym, and then walk past one of the staffs friends who is wearing boots. This gym is disgusting and a staff restructure is way overdue.
