    Very clean and tidy.. Female only-gym. Is great.. Although it would be amazing if they consider extending the hours for that.

    """"""Fence Netting""""""" on the side of every football pitch is useless every 5 minutes ball ⚽️ goes out what a WASTE OF TIME & MONEY PLEASE need to improve the """""Fence Netting""""" and 7 a side pitch its very small for 14 players should be 6 a side 😂

    The place has been falling apart for years. The pitches are cut up and are a serious trip hazard and the netting around the pitches is sub standard. The new owners will need to invest in pitch replacement, nettings and boards to make right again!

  • 3/5 Darren Ravenscroft (. 1 year ago on Google
    Pitches upgraded over last few years, netting around them could do with a few zip ties but overall a good place for sport.

    Fix your netting! Absurd, the ball goes through the netting to a neighboring pitch more often than it is kept in play (you then either have to risk climbing over yourself or run and get reception who are always grumpy at having to come and unlock a pitch despite the problem being entirely theirs). Bit of a joke for the price, we lose 10-15 minutes a session trying to get an escape ball.

    No monitoring of blue badge spaces. Non blue badge holders consistently in parking spaces even though there is ample spaces throughout the car park

  • 5/5 Mackenzie W. 6 months ago on Google
    Great facility and staff! Used the gym and played football here.

  • 5/5 Akshata S. 4 months ago on Google
    Visited the sports club for general enquiries. Had to wait a bit as the manager was busy with some building supervision, but she was very helpful in delivering the information. They have all the information available on the website and you can either go to Better or Whalley range website to get more details. They even offer discounts and vouchers which can be availed while selecting a program. They offer multiple classes that one can choose as per their comfort and choice.

  • 5/5 Ben B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great football pitches.

  • 2/5 Barry M. 11 months ago on Google
    Great if you enjoy spending half your game retrieving balls that have disappeared through the completely ineffectual netting that surrounds the pitches. Worst place I have played for not maintaining the nets/fences.

  • 4/5 Faisal T. 1 year ago on Google
    pitches need more maintanance

  • 3/5 Chris M. 7 years ago on Google
    Pitches need of repairs as uneven surfaces with long thin divots causing twisted ankles and injuries. Flood lights not all working either. Not exactly good value for money and its not really safe for kids to play on certain pitches. All powerleague sites seem to be the same though.

  • 3/5 Malak K. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent pitches. However annoying at times when under previous owners at times youngsters would come to play without paying and we would have to get them off. Not sure if this is still the case.

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 6 years ago on Google
    Had my son's birthday party here and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Staff were very helpful and friendly, the kids loved Tyler (their coach) and had "the best party ever". Would highly recommend, it's excellent value for money which I have never been able to say about a kids birthday party before!!

🫤 I used to love training here, it’s close by, convenient and has a nice layout, however, this gym is constantly packed no matter what time it is and it is so off putting, the weights room is never free, the equipment always has about 3 different people waiting around it to use it. No matter what time...
