    I did my first aid course here and the trainer (Andy) was excellent, he was extremely knowledgeable and made every practical fun and memorable, during the Training session someone witnessed a lady collapsing outside by the road, within 5 seconds Andy was rushing out the door to give the lady first aid, he literally saved the woman's life. He was calm and provided excellent care to the injured woman. If you need first aid training this is the best place in the area to go

    It's a nice swimming pool and had a good slide when I went back here in childhood days. Plus it was also nice to visit for when it hosted a model railway exhibition with when my mum's former work friends took me with them to explore it.

    We've visited most of the swimming pools in and around Newquay, Camborne, and Truro with the grandchildren and in our opinion, this is the nicest one. It is clean, tidy, we'll maintained and the water temperature is noticeably warmer than the other pools. The only downside is that the free car park is very small, so you may have to wait a few minutes for someone to leave.

    Lovely modern pool with a huge car park behind. Shared changing areas are good but often smell strongly or are particularly dirty if you go between school swim times. The womens toilets smell particularly strongly. Other than that I enjoy going, and exercise pools are so few and far between in our county!

    Really well run. Clean and really well maintained by staff who obviously tale pride in their work.

    Lovely changing rooms with private showers, only thing wrong is one hairdryer is broken. It could at least be replaced. The staff are very helpful and polite. I enjoy swimming here. I love the painting in the Pool area. It makes for a pleasant look. Not so plain.

    I forgot my coat at this leisure center and my mom told the people working there if they could find my coat but they couldn't find it someone stole my coat and they did nothing about it also I am banned from using inflatables in the pool because I accidently ripped the tube and a rude old man almost had a go at me just for doing a backdive in the pool and threatened my teacher to kick us out the pool is cold and the rules are dumb this pool does not do a good job of security and making sure nobody steals stuff this pool leisure center is ridiculous

    Clean changing rooms which is always a bonus, warmish pool, great service from Linda in the cafe staying on to do food for a party and Charlie helping to organise, thankyou all, we'd recommend.

    I've started a Gold Membership at Carn Brea Leisure Centre (Community Centre) months ago in Idea of doing exercises and have my youngest son learn to swim. The gold membership allows you as an adult to bring one of your underaged children to swim for free but people at the reception seem to forget that and often asked me to pay for my child. When trying to book classes at reception, Amanda always told me there are not spaces available, but when I was to the Gym office, Caroline and Steve found online a lot of available spaces. Today I decided to go to the Gym: running and rowing. I swiped the card and screen sent me back to reception office. Sandy who is the Manager of the reception told me I need to pay £3.00 for a missed booking which I previously have cancelled on Wednesday with Amanda because of the Ciaran storm. Amanda didn't register my cancelation. Sandy remembered I called and she cancelled it. After the 'adventure' I'm still trying to go down to the gym, but Sandy is asking me if I did any booking for it and she advised me to go on the online website in the reception to book a gym session. I've tried but it wouldn't work and Sandy offered to do this session booking on her computer. When I got down to the gym I asked Caroline the gym Manager if I need a booking for the Gym. Caroline said I don't need one. Every single time I went to this Community Centre they made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. This place is advertising as a Community place but it doesn't show any sympathy or kindness. There is untrained and rude staff. Never forget: This Centre is maintained by the Community. We all pay for services to keep this place going. Nobody deserves such an appalling treatment.

    I use the gym here,no expert,lol. But has 1300square foot of gym machines, has adult pool and small pool as well. Something for everyone really. And everyone seems really friendly. Can't ask for much more than that really.

    Lovely staff. Parking facilities are usually great but if you go on a day there is an event on nearby then it becomes tricky with no lined parking? People cannot organise parking themselves it seems. Could have easily fit another 20 cars in if people had parked straight. Swimming facilities have improved since the refurbishment. The changing rooms are still lacking. Only one cubicle with a baby changing table or only one we could see. Pool was a tad chilly which isn't great for babies and the learner pool was way too full.

    Good size car park, but remember to log your number plate. Nice swimming pool and good changing area, would recommend.

  • 5/5 Maxine S. 11 months ago on Google
    Very nice pool and changing rooms, three lanes plus family area, plus "do your own thing" area. Very organised.

  • 5/5 Teresa O'Hara (. 1 year ago on Google
    I only used the swimming pool but it is nice and big. Reception staff are friendly and helpful and the pool is watched over by at least two lifeguards.

    I take my grandaughter here on Fridays as its family swim day and only costs £3 for me. I would love to do more swimming during the week but it's very expensive. Because she's 2 years old we use the baby pool and I'm trying to get her to swim more with her arm bands on and she's doing very well, however the baby pool can get a bit over crowded the life guards do count how many are in there and turn people away when it's full but they let alot of kids in who can clearly swim as there doing lengths under water and then play catch or volley ball in there when there's babies around. The bigger pool has 3 lanes roped off for swimming and the rest of the pool is for messing around in, the only problem I find with that pool is its so cold! I can't comment on the rest of the facilities in the centre as I don't use them.

    Great facilities, new spin bikes, gym, pool and classes. Even a running track and a huge sports hall. Brilliant staff and class schedule. Café too!

  • 5/5 Kim Cunningham (. 1 year ago on Google
    My first visit in 5 years. So clean. Hot showers. Clean pool at 29 degrees Celsius. A secure place for me to leave my bike. £1 refunded for locker, or shopping trolley coin accepted. Friendly staff.

    A great pool but the receptionist was rather rude on the phone when I needed to call to book over the phone when the booking drop down would not work on my phone. They really need to allow booking without signing up as it takes 20mins just to try and book a swim session.

  • 2/5 Leroy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Gym is well equipped but you cant get anywhere near any of it between the hours of half 3 and half 6 due to it looking like a school playground. Bonkers decision to allow 12 year olds to use the gym, has ruined it for the regulars who pay the full price.

  • 5/5 Aimie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for a gym session, swim or coffee. Very friendly staff and the cafe has good coffee, cakes and comfy couches.

    Great facilities for locals and visitors. Swim here almost daily. Great options of group classes. Always immaculate and all staff are friendly and welcoming. Huge car park to rear. Good opening hours. Offering a reduced price for family swims on a Friday atm. Advisable to book aqua classes - they are very popular. Track, Gym, Pool, courts, cafe. They also run various courses throughout the year.

    Helpful staff on reception and in the gym. Amazing exercise classes with amazing instructors. Decent price memberships for the things you get access to.

  • 5/5 Jen T. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been using this centre the last couple of yrs & I am so sad I have to leave due to moving! They did a brilliant job during the lockdowns etc !!!!! I can't praise this place enough, they have a brilliant staff, cleanliness is a priority, it's inviting, showers are warm (not as hot as I like them but sufficient), classes are varied & at good times for people who work, the Pool is great & I love the Dive Pit. I did Pilates / Yoga and Body Balance with Nicky (sometimes Pilates with Malcolm) & another lady mainly due to a couple of injuries that are helped with those types of classes! Nicky is a great teacher (also loved her Aqua Classes, so much Fun). The gym is Huge and has tons of equipment, I loved that the My Wellness app tracked everything! I only used the gym a few times as I prefer classes! I may occasionally still swim here just so I can return! Keep up the Great work & I honestly would be staying a member if I could!

  • 4/5 Philip B. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean and seemed to have good facilities. 4 stars as parkings not great and i didn't like the fact you can't wear your shoes in the changing rooms. Felt a bit strange getting dressed then having to sit at the entrance of the changing rooms to dry feet and put shoes and socks on. Understand why but still.
