👍 Regularly go gym there now. Swimming is nice too. Not going to lie though, unisex changing costs it the 5 star, after gym and swim I kinda wanna get a proper strip off of kit, shower myself clean and walk out in fresh clothes, smelling fresh, feeling good after exercise. Because there is no appropr... People often mention pool, kids, swimming, clean, good, area, cafe, staff, play, swim,

Because there is no appropriate privacy... you can't do that. I'm all for inclusion, but this isn't the way to deliver it.

    Member of the gym here, it's a good gym but at times literally kids running around onto machines. Staff are generally good at trying to stop them but they aren't babysitters or childminders. Pool is always very cold though, signed my daughter up who has JIA child arthritis and the coldness effects her after just 15 minutes in the large pool. No sauna facilities here like Neath leisure centre.

    I attended for a swim as an adult in the evening. Friendly & helpful staff, the clean swimming pool was adequate but not the biggest but has regular lane swimming for all abilities. The music was a bit irritating (own opinion) Mixed showers & changing facilities with private booths. Secure lockers when you bring your own lock. There are a few £1 coin operated lockers but not many. Parking is limited but free. Depending on time of visit there is 2hr free on street parking. I managed to get a spot on the street, however during the day I would imagine on street parking would be busy. For an adult swim it cost approximately £4.60.

    Aberavon Leisure & Fitness Centre caters for the fitness and leisure needs of the local and wider communities. Whether you’re a child learning to swim, local worker looking to get fit, or simply someone looking to unwind, this is the perfect place for you. As well as the sport, fitness, and leisure offerings, the venue will also house an attractive café for all beachfront visitors as well as centre users.

    Great place. Parents can sit and eat in the waiting area till kids finish the swimming or the gymnastics class. Toilets are clean. There is a play area for toddlers as well. By 3.5pounds for one hour is a high rate. The cafe inside serves good and refreshing coffee and tea as per the customers choice

    Great facilities. The wet changing rooms are in need of a good clean! Good pool but not when busy and only one lane open! Shame there isn't a swim only membership. Paying £34 for just swimming is quite a lot of money!

    Took my two year old to the splash park which is run by Celtic leisure and their life guards who didn't look old enough to supervise. They left older kids kick a football up into the water equipment to drop onto whoever was below, that being my 2 year old and another smaller kid. When my other wife complained they said they are allowed to and we're inexperienced to see the hazards. I'm sure the risk assessment for the park didn't cover this activity. They also sat down and left the water park area littered with rubbish, no work ethic or responsibility, poor performance from Celtic leisure

    There are 3 separate pools. We went for a pool party and they had a small inflatable slide. Changing rooms where clean and spacious. Majority of the staff was not helpful. And the room in which the party was, was basic for e.g. tables and chairs. Unable to enter the room beforehand to set up.

    Tried the Aqua, really loved it but the pool is half full of pensioners just meeting up for a chat. Unfortunately this prevents the people who are trying to exercise from benefitting from the classes as you can't move without bumping onto Doris propping up Daphne while they talk about the price of sanotogen in asda.

    Parking is easy enough, facilities, gym, keep fit and swimming etc, are modern, clean and pretty well staffed. The cafe sells decent coffee abd tea, with great slushes for the kids. The pool area is easily viewed from the cafe, with the option of a seated gallery. Theres a great play area for younger kids, and several rooms for parties, meetings etc. Good value local facility

    Beware that the children's pool is too cold for babies under 3 months. We were told by the unbothered staff that the temperature was 29 degrees on the day we visited, which is concerning as any baby under 3 months should be swimming in at least 32 degrees. Clueless staff.

    I had taken my kids for indoor skating there which was good experience. But after skating kids decided to play in soft play area. After sometime my younger kid came out running crying. When asked he said he was beaten by two kids. My wife went inside and warned the kids. When i returned home my child said the two kids lifted him with legs and hands and tossed him like toy. And shouted go back. Horrible! Are we in uk really?

    Had a pool party and the party room. All great. The kitchen area was not the best. Take your own knife if cutting a cake. Manager on the day was helpful

  • 5/5 Charles B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to learn grand kids to swim both having lessons Cheap coffee makes a change.

  • 2/5 Grace E. 1 year ago on Google
    Half of the pool plus one lane were being used for lessons. Only 3 lanes available for swimming during the scheduled lane swimming. Pool and changing rooms were clean.

  • 1/5 Stephen J. 11 months ago on Google
    Do not send your child to swimming lessons here, some of the instructors are young and while watching my son's class the instructor and life guard spent more time flirting with eachother than actually watching the kids. They also looked like they were making fun of the kids and laughing about it after doing a kicking motion. On one occasion they put my child into the wrong class and he could not touch the floor and swallowing water while they just stood there, I have complained and to be honest nothing was done. Absolutely shocking and the worst I have seen. Avoid at all costs.

    Great sculpt class with ‘Bones’ this morning .I really enjoyed it, well planned, a good all over work out and motivating music. Thank you for covering the class 👏 While I’m here, I want to say a big thank you to the staff, coaches and the super fab front desk staff, always pleasant, happy and helpful. Keep up the great work all 😃

    Cancelled my direct debit due to moving away and was charged £37 for not allowing a months notice. I think given the current financial situation, gyms like Celtic Leisure should have more of an understanding around clauses like this. I've spoken to people about how they were able to freeze their account whilst away but I was declined when asking if I could freeze it. Please lower the cancellation fee.

👍 Nice new Gym, value for money. Would like to see some spray and paper towel in there to wipe down equipment. Also the keypad to get in when not man'd could be bigger as its difficult in the dark to see. Would be nice to have late classes, latest is 7pm for those who work later in evening.
