    I enjoy using the thermal suite and the classes are just exactly what you need to get toned and shaped. Never had such lovely legs bums and tums and a body so pumped but thanks to all the instructors who are so nice and lovely and everyone is so down to earth and friendly.Everything is blessed. I just want to big up and bless up all the members and the staff. I love the family of people at this gym. Everyone is friendly and helpful. More blessings and love we say Str8. Manners and respect. 🙏🏿

    Active Copley is a fantastic place. It’s not like when you join a gym and then go for a couple of months and then never again, you keep the subscription going in the hope you'll go back at some point but never do. The variety and choice of activities/classes available make it a brilliant place to submerge yourself in anything you want to do. All of the staff are super friendly right from the start, you are made to feel welcome right from the first visit, I would recommend Active Copley to anyone its ace. Kind regards, Justin

    Great, clean facilities and a lovely little cafè that's reasonably priced. My only complaint would be to have more staff to sort out the rowdy kids from the attached school that come in after school time as they were extremely disruptive during our swim and were stealing from the café. It really put us off from visiting at that time again. Didn't fully enjoy our first experience at the centre so not sure if we will return or not anyway.

    We took the grandchildren to inflatables. The centre was clean, the showers were hot and in good working order. The price of a swim was very reasonable. The small pool was lovely and warm, there were plenty of pleasant very alert and friendly life guards. The chips in the cafe were gorgeous and if I wasn't In charge of the kids I would have enjoyed a drink from the bar!! There is a large free car park

    I used only swimming pool facilities. The changing area is a bit dated, but it's kept clean. They have certain slots for various swimmers depending on the skills so you have to check the schedule before going

    Active Copley has 2 good pools. A small nursery pool for children and babies and a very large pool for adults and good swimmers. There is a cafe that is reasonably priced. But the car park however is a little on the small side and is in some places tight. Which means the occasional bump may appear on your car. But overall its decent.

  • 5/5 E R. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful facility and staff. Used the sauna, steam room and swimming pool. Staff showed me how to access the different areas and were patient and friendly. Lockers in good condition, showers and hairdryers all working well. Pool temperature perfect for me as I don't like cold water). Used to be a member of a private gym but Copley was superior in cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff.

  • 5/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are really friendly and helpful, the facilities are really good; they have a small pool for beginners and a large pool for lane swimming, there's courts for squash, sports halls for badminton and other indoor sports and a decent gym that has just been refurbished. There is a great cafe/restaurant that does pizzas, burgers, cheese toasties, jacket potatoes and all manner of refreshments from tea and coffee, through slushies and soft drinks to beer on draught. They also sell swimming goggles and nappies etc

    Visited on a Wednesday at the end of the Easter holidays and it was a boring general swim session. I was told balls etc are not allowed during general swim so nothing for children to play with. Nice pool and temperature, ok lockers and showers. Unfortunately the cafe was not serving food for my hungry children. Hot chocolate was boring, a cheap can of squirty cream and marshmallows go a long way to enhance an experience.

  • 5/5 mafu I. 1 year ago on Google
    Really popular leisure centre, they seem to do everything well. My son has health condition and 1st aiders were great, but with only 1 lift to floors can be problematic in emergency.

  • 5/5 Dan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Just went in to sign our fifteen year old daughter up to the gym, the staff were super friendly, very knowledgeable and making a fantastic job of training up a new recruit, faultless!

  • 5/5 Guri C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent services and helpful staff. Better than privately owned gyms of similar price because it's owned by the community.

  • 4/5 Bob S. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the hot beds in the spa was not heated and, according to another spa user, has been like this for a long time. Strange that they haven't fixed it. Changing rooms too hot for comfort and the shower curtain in ladies disabled shower has seen better days and is covered in mould (partner showed me a pic). Gym is spacious upstairs and staff are good.

    Played 1 hour badmington, nice private court (court 6). 4 and 5 were being used for Marshall arts, so screens pulled across. Very pleasant experience.

  • 1/5 Nikki S. 8 months ago on Google
    My daughter started swimming at was great but last 2 years it's gone down hill dramatically. My daughter has been in the same class for 19 months, she's passed 2 other classes in around 8 months I've spoke to instructions (there's been 4 in this time frame) they do have a lesson and allow 1 child to pass and accept 1 new child and start the plans again

  • 2/5 Guybon B. 7 months ago on Google
    In my search for a swimming pool to train at, this one is sadly not in my list. Inly one timing clock in an odd Place and not working. Design of pool ensure a sharp temperature gradient from warm to cold and it hits like a wall . Again no guide flags out in public swimming so those of us who enjoy backstroke have to constantly check how far the wall is. Again not a relaxing and enjoyable place to swim as tiles as slippery so tumble turning tricky.

  • 4/5 Ashley L. 9 months ago on Google
    Gym and pool both very good but they need to address how busy the 12pm lane swim is and add another time slot during the day because it’s not an enjoyable experience at all currently

  • 5/5 Peter E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to work out and wind down. Also chill out in the sauna and steam room. All the staff are polite and happy to help.

  • 4/5 Laudable B. 1 year ago on Google
    A local community centre with pools, badminton and squash courts, and an inside gym. It is very hot in changing area, and the building at large is warmer than outside. Cafe is good although healthy options are sparse. Staff are very friendly

  • 5/5 Hazel B. 2 years ago on Google

    Well equipped gym, clean good sized sauna and steam room.

  • 5/5 Eve D. 1 year ago on Google
    Monthly membership price is reasonable, gym is friendly and the creche is so handy.

  • 2/5 Stephen W. 11 months ago on Google
    The Leisure Centre on the whole seems pretty good but I cannot comment on the gym & swimming facilities as I only use the Sports Hall facility. My biggest disappointment with the Sports Hall is the lighting, it is extremely poor for badminton sessions. The establishment have had opportunity to replace the light fittings with new cost and energy efficient LED fittings complete with diffusers but instead have always opted for a replacement of like for like tube fittings with no diffuser. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE TO VASTLY IMPROVE THE LIGHTING PROVISION FOR A MULTI-SPORT ENVIRONMENT!

  • 1/5 Sarah T. 1 year ago on Google
    Helpful and friendly staff they deserve a 5 star!! Reason for 1 star is it’s too hot. The air con system hasn’t worked for months and is unbearable when in the changing rooms with our children. This has been reported and nothing seems to be done.

  • 5/5 Bernard C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for young children to learn to swim.

    Clean facilities & regularly cleaned during visits to centre filling me to use facilities safely. Staff available if required.
