Visit websiteMainly use the pool. Temperature slightly cool but not too bad once you get moving. Changing rooms usually quite clean but get slightly dirty throughout the day. Nice variety of toys and inflatable fun. Pricing not too bad. Staff friendly. Lifeguards not so great. What's the point in having no diving signs if smaller children can be jumped on multiple times in one session by bigger children with no consequence. On a related note, Great to see teens just having fun but consideration needs to be given between toddlers learning to be in water and active teenage ball fights in the same small pool.
What is such a shame about Andover Leisure Centre is that the overall concept is actually very good. The Les Mills virtual spin classes are fantastic and the gym upstairs is genuinely well equipped, particularly for those focused on cardio training. However, the downstairs swimming pool and spa changing area is honestly one of the most unpleasant gym environments I have come across. There is a constant sewage-like smell as soon as you walk through the double doors into the downstairs changing rooms, and the cleanliness standards are simply not acceptable. It genuinely feels as though proper antibacterial cleaning products are not being used consistently, as the area often smells damp and unclean, creating visible issues with mould and general hygiene concerns. The upstairs female changing room could also be maintained better and half the time there is no hand wash available. One of the biggest issues is also member behaviour around the sauna and relaxation areas. Many people treat the sauna like a social club rather than a quiet relaxation space. There is often shouting, loud conversations, swearing and disruptive behaviour, which completely ruins the atmosphere for people who are actually trying to relax after a workout or swim. What makes this more frustrating is the lack of staff intervention. Staff never challenge disruptive behaviour or reinforce any standards within the relaxation areas. In many other gyms and leisure facilities, particularly in larger cities, this behaviour would be addressed quickly to ensure other members are not impacted. The centre has so much potential and some genuinely great facilities, but the hygiene standards downstairs and lack of management around member behaviour really let it down.
Excellent leisure centre, kept very clean and tidy, and the staff are very kind & friendly. I am a swimming member and usually aim to do 2/3 times a week. The swimming timetable can be a little tricky to navigate at times, with regards to how many sessions are available and at what times. You just have to plan around it. All in all though, a great leisure centre.
Needed a soft play for my energetic boys (2&7). Called up but no one answered, however managed to book the softplay online for £12.70 for both. Used the code to get in, grabbed a coffee from the cost. Very clean, decent seating. Cant grumble.
Son went here for the clip and climb he really enjoyed it there is a good selection of climbing walls for all abilities very helpful staff and safety enforced, there is a little bit of waiting with your hand up but they are pretty quick at getting to you. He also went in the soft play while we waited it was 6.50 which is bad. There are slides, trampoline a little tots bit. Very nice. Haven't been in the pool myself but he has clean and maintained.
