If you can go further afield, don’t bother, badly maintained, terrible client service, over charging on cancellation. I signed up to this gym as I thought it was a local council gym supporting the community and as a new member, I thought it would be a nice experience. - The monthly payment is over priced and way above the average in the area. - The facilities are substandard, spinning bikes are rarely serviced so they all have their faults including stiffness or looseness, a lot of noise that some oil would easily fix, broken straps left. - The gym and spinning rooms are small and enclosed with bad AC, once spring hit it was like working out in a sauna. They even confiscated the AC remote for a week to reduce the use of their inefficient AC. Not given back until sufficient complaints were made. - The gym states you can’t use it without a member of staff present but they rarely have a member of staff there. When I decided to leave and look for better facilities they refused to cancel my membership until I paid an extra full month of payment, claiming they needed two weeks notice to cancel. After reading other reviews about people being charged two months after cancelling I decided to pay the extra month and then complain. After I paid it took exactly 26 minutes to cancel my membership - amazing speed once they got the extra month’s payment! And I asked for the complaints procedure and I was told to write to the same email address as the person I am complaining about - seems incorrect to me! Local staff are nice and I understand the pool facilities are good.
The gym is a bit on the small side but always clean and staff are very friendly. I take both of my kids with me because minimum age is 11 once they have done a safety briefing.
Lovely center. Very clean, reception staff is really friendly. Badminton 🏸 courts are nicely spread out. It can fit about 4 courts in the main hall, I've also seen pickle ball being played there. Thursday's are quite busy for badminton. 👍
Been coming to my kids swimmings lessons here for around 5 years. Parking has got worse especially through term times, even though it got extended. The higher up the levels your child gets they seem to have on less classes. My oldest is in level 8 and this has proven very hard as they hardly do any classes for this stage and the teacher she had at first looked like he couldn’t be bothered on his phone and was constantly just telling them to do laps. Not the best. Luckily the teacher has now been changed. Changing rooms is so full people leave their clothes in the changing blocks rather than in the lockers, so then you struggle to get changed as there’s no space. There’s no where to watch your child once they go into the big pool unless you stand around a tiny window in the changing room with 3 other people. If you manage to get a space inside when they are in the small pool it’s good, if not there’s tables behind the window but you can’t see you child as you’ve just got a load of people’s backs and heads who managed to get a space sat inside. I’ve been coming here for this long for the convenience that’s it’s the closest one to my home not for any other reason.
My son and I came for a swimming session on Sunday the 14th May. I had called ahead of time to check the training pool was a good temperature as my son doesn't like it too cold. The receptionist was very helpful even telling me what degrees Celsius the pool would be. As it was my first visit, I was given a parking permit to fill in and display in my car window. This was a lovely touch as I wasn't aware of the parking restrictions and the car park is much safer than the busy road the leisure centre is situation off. Inside, the centre looked and smelled very clean. The toilets were fresh and well stocked with toilet paper and soap. The communal changing cubicles were spotless and very pleasant to use. There are also ample lockers of various sizes which just require a £1 to lock up and keep all your belongings safe whilst you swim. When we entered the main pool, there are showers before you enter and a balcony where you can put your towels if you prefer them by the pool for immediate access after your swim. It was lovely to see a multitude of toys, floats and buoyancy aids in and around the teaching pool. My son took great pleasure in collecting all the toys and playing with them whilst in the pool and he said this sports centre is his favourite so far! When we left, at least 3 team members were vigorously scrubbing down the floors, lockers and walls with soapy water and you could tell that they took pride in their leisure centre and want it looking at its best. WELL DONE to all the team at Aston-cum-Aughton. My son and I will be back very soon, of that I have no doubt!!
