September 2025 Hood Park, Everyone Active is a well maintained sorts centre with a wide range of activity classes. The staff are caring and helpful. I've only used the centre for fast lane swimming. The 30m outdoor lido is open durring the summer months with a range of booking options. The indoor pool is 25m Both pools are kept clean and the changing rooms are also welll looked after.

Great pool, really deep at the deep end. Love that there's a sand pit for the kids to play in too. It's quite dirty though, in toilets and changing rooms.

Pleasantly easy to use with relaxed feel . Private cubicles, hot showers on poolside. Plenty of space for lane swimming at all paces as bookings limited to 40 people per session

Very good value for money. As a gym member one has swimming included & can use other locations at no extra cost. The only issue I have is the lighting is quite appalling in the Ashby location. It's way too harsh & when lying back pressing dumbells it's blinding which could be considered hazardous if lifting heavier weights. Hence 3 stars otherwise it would definitely be 4. Overall though I'm extremely happy with my membership.

Good for the summer. The pool can get a little cloudy on the hotter, busier days and the toilets a bit dirty and the staff seem friendly. This is an everyone active site now, and they are awkward and difficult, so finding information beforehand is hard, the old managers were alot better and friendlier and actually answered the phone.
