  • 5/5 Rimvydas T. 1 year ago on Google
    It is very modern, spacious and has a lot to offer. I love the sauna and steam room. Love the classes and a fact I can go to the spa after that to rewind. Music is really good while I swim and I feel more motivated with some good tracks. Staff is really friendly and helpful. It is great they have a coffee and ice cream van just outside. You can have a lovely walk in a park after that. and most of what I love is the price for that. You can't beet £29.99/month. While every other leisure centre saving on energy bills they are steaming hot! Love it! Thanks"

    I have been a member here for a few months now. The staff at this gym, is the best gym staff money could buy!! The team here are so friendly and very helpful! Tiny noticeable things that’s makes your loyal to a brand. I enjoy going there and not afraid to reach out and ask as the team is very friendly. Good job

    Lovely park, lots of open space to play, swings, slide, climbing frames and see saws for all ages, little coffee hut serving, hot and cold drinks, cakes and ice creams

    It’s a while ago lve never been back as the water was so cold then when you get out it was freezing. Pool definitely needs to be a lot warmer. I spoken with a few people who has the same.

    Very exciting for the kids, plenty to see, always something to see, will recommend this place to others.

  • 4/5 Paul M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for getting a bit outside. Good refreshments van and good play ground for youngsters. Lovely facility for the area.

  • 5/5 Alistair C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great leisure centre and pool but would recommend pre booking to avoid disappointment on turning up as only seem to let 30 in at a time which is a good thing as would be to busy.

  • 4/5 Sophie 1 year ago on Google
    Great size gym with lots of equipment for all levels of fitness. Also liked the swimming pool but can get busy during lane swimming.

  • 5/5 zak m. 1 year ago on Google

    It's a nice pool although several showers were out of order.

    I believe most if not all my reviews on Google reviews have been positive so far. In July, I am aiming to do a charity swim - I emailed and phoned the swim manager who did not reply. This leisure centre has a good length of pool and came recommended, so I phoned up and booked a tour and discuss membership. 'Friday - between 4 and 8pm, there will be someone from the membership group to take you on a tour.'. I turned up at 6.30pm - they had gone home. The poor lad on the desk phoned for his duty manager. Nope - he told him that I could make my own tour if I wanted. I walked to where the lad had directed me - no eye contact from anyone, no smiles, I was always in the way, too busy. I walked back to the desk - poor lad was busy. Disappointed and rather upset, yes. Thankfully, another pool has offered me a free swimming session and money off a membership due to my charity swim and being a teacher - WIN WIN.

    Swimming pool, sauna and steam room No cafe but seating area to watch swimmers and vending machines for quick snacks Staff are very helpful and it’s very modern and accessible Smaller pool for kids learning to swim and wheelchair lift access into the pool Drinking fountain to both drink from and fill up water bottle All round great place, very popular in local community

  • 5/5 Chris de B. 10 months ago on Google
    Really good facilities and decent air con in training rooms

  • 1/5 Tom W. 1 year ago on Google
    Come here with my son for his swimming lessons, only to be surrounded by 5-10 teenagers, loitering INSIDE, swearing, shouting, not really a place for families. Staff do nothing.

  • 2/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Was great, but typical of local authority developed facilities, it is now showing where corners have been cut. My advice to anyone coming here is to bring your own water as the plumbing has clearly been done by pikeys - as often as not, the drinking fountains don't work and it's been a year since the cold water shower for the sauna worked.

  • 2/5 Dale H. 5 months ago on Google
    Holly Hill Leisure Centre, Salisbury. I joined this gym largely due to its convenient proximity and its balance of classes, gym and facilities. First, the good points; the reception staff, gym staff and personal trainers are generally very friendly and helpful (albeit sometimes staff are completely absent from the gym). The Les Mills programmes are first class. And now areas for improvement; far too much equipment and/or too many facilities are out of order (sometimes, quite literally for months); these include (but are not limited to) the entry gate system (though the system is very quick to incorrectly register a “no show” with a fine and inability to book classes, the sauna, the showers, the treadmills and cardio equipment. As mentioned, there is a frequent absence of any staff anywhere in the gym. The sound system in the instructor led spinning classes is often so loud, that the instructions being barked out are so distorted they are unintelligible. By contrast, the Virtual classes are led by well articulated, inspirational instructors, although the volume is often set uncomfortably high (as a result of the instructor led classes), and more recently only 60% of the screen is working/visible. It is very often difficult to find any staff to assist with any issue, either in person at the gym, or on the phone, when calls often ring off the hook, completely unanswered, but again, the reception staff downstairs (often only one person to handle all in person queries and seemingly answer the phone) do try their best to assist. On several occasions I have attempted to provide respectful, polite, constructive feedback, but this really does appear to ‘fall on deaf ears’. Overall, Holly Hill Leisure Centre is certainly a decent mid range gym, but is let down by the management, who really do need some basic customer service training. Ryan, the manager I spoke to most recently was incredibly rude. There’s simply no other way to say it.

    Came here to take my kids swimming. After a 10 minute wait to be served was told it was fully booked. This is a normal swimming session public swim i have never had to prebook for this at any leasure centre. The pool didn't even look vaguely busy. They cold have at least put a sign up to save me the 10minute pointless wait Will not be returning!

  • 5/5 Hanora C. 6 months ago on Google
    A lovely pool with the best disabled facilities we have seen, including a changing places changing room and a lift into the pool. The staff are very helpful.

  • 4/5 D M W. 6 months ago on Google
    It's quite a nice pool for lessons but they really missed a trick when they built the pool by not having full time seating for parents to use alongside the pool. They have it at the Fareham Pool. Really short sighted.

  • 3/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    We really enjoy the under 5 swimming our only issue is the temperature of the changing rooms. I'm sure they have air conditioning blowing as you are trying to change the children.

  • 5/5 gary w. 2 years ago on Google
    First go at Aqua fit today. Very enjoyable will be back on Thursday. Great experience

  • 3/5 Helen W. 2 years ago on Google
    Think there should be a 'slow lane swim option' during the day and not just early morning or 9pm in the evening. Theres fast & medium...why not slow?

  • 4/5 Sean R. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff are all really friendly and helpful and those going to the gym are of all fitness levels but I feel "equal" to all of them if that makes sense?! I don't walk in and feel intimidated and I am not a fit person (working in it though 😂😂) Not sure what will happen when restrictions eventually lift but I don't think that will be June 2021 as hoped anyway...

  • 3/5 Christopher C. 2 years ago on Google
    App is a nightmare. If you dare cancel a class without a follow up phone call you get charged. Having paid up front for a platinum membership very disappointed. Staff are friendly but not always aware of information. No social distancing, people seem to think Covid is left at the door. Very few wear a mask to enter the building, can't do this anywhere else!!!

  • 5/5 Julien R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great fun for the kids. Nice playground.

  • 4/5 Scott W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good gym (only really use the gym) very good social distancing measures in place.

  • 5/5 Ele R. 5 years ago on Google
    I just joined the gym. I mainly joined for classes but unfortunately they are all booked up at the times I can go every single week. On the plus side I cant praise Danielle enough. She is a fantastic personal trainer, really motivating and encouraging. You can tell she loves her job and I'd recommend sessions with her to anyone. I genuinely look forward to my next one and each time it's something different. Thank you so much Danielle!

    Fantastic leisure centre, has everything you want. Staff are great and very helpful and welcoming. Highly recomend you visit

  • 4/5 Mike W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely bright, clean and friendly leisure center. Near by park and coffee van are handy. Baby pool could be a tad warmer.

  • 5/5 Manzoor S. 2 years ago on Google
    All the people here are nice and welcoming, the best gym in the UK by far

  • 5/5 Claire C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, friendly staff. Classes are really good and plenty of free parking

  • 5/5 Steven G. 2 years ago on Google
    Well run Leisure centre, attention to cleanliness is excellent. Plenty of sanitiser and paper towels in the gym

  • 5/5 Frances O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! Lovely woodland walk, with lots of places for a picnic. Although slightly steep in some areas, it's good for all abilities and ages. There are easier routes to choose, if you prefer. It takes approximately an hour or so to stroll around, but you don't have to do the whole route. Great for dogs, but they do have to be kept on leads. Parking is free and to there's an ice cream kiosk and a great playpark, just across the road at the leisure centre.

  • 4/5 Marie “M&M” L. 1 year ago on Google
    We joined the swimming monthly membership and it is one of the better one that we have joined over the past with a few different venue. Definitely newer facility and the pool is 25m which is decent size compared to some clubs' pool. Although the design of the access to the lady or men changing room is not convenience but shower stalls is available by the pool. The pool is pretty crowded, especially the weekend which is difficult to swim even though you make a booking. The steam room is hopeless as it broke down every second day since we joined the club back in June!

  • 4/5 Ronan D. 1 year ago on Google
    A well set up leisure centre, pool and sauna rooms are a nice addition. Plenty of gym equipment and space and bike room is also a great asset however, I think there needs to be more staff on gym floor throughout the day as weight plates and equipment is never sorted. I have walked around for minutes a few times trying to find certain plates. Not a big deal but just more of an inconvenience

  • 5/5 Nicolette F. 2 years ago on Google

👍👍 Fusion is a great place to work out. You've got a choice of a standard gym with free weights and machines or a studio with different class types on offer.
