Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Well equipped gym , great equipment and plenty of free weights, great health suite for relaxing after , only negative comment I have is the floor in the wet changing area was quite grubby and didn't seem to get cleaned on a regular basis , not the nicest when trying to get to a cubicle from the shower in your bare feet. The woman on the reception desk is very rude. I have seen her yelling at people the past few times I have been in, myself included when attending with my 2 toddlers. After paying and booking she is still very sharp in her attitude, even muttering about us under her breath as we walk through the turnstile. As a foreign person I can’t help but wonder if this is her problem? Have cancelled my membership as a result. Brutal. Tried to take my 2 kids swimming today. It was always a walk in and wait place but I checked the website and it said no need to book Monday to Friday but maybe during holidays. So I tried booking in advance using the app and it wasn't responding. Drove 30 minutes and queued only to be told it was fully booked. Other people there had the same experience. Website/app needs to be seriously improved. Only word is a joke for what happened. And the staff lady was trying to say I must not be using the app properly so I took my phone out I'm front of her to prove it. If I could give 0 stars I would. Last time we tried to come 12 months ago it was closed for major refurbishments when we arrived. Literally nothing on their website to say that only some articles from online news sites. Great leisure, facilities and kids pool. Very good accessibly for wheelchair users and their families The swimming at Newry Leisure Centre has potential, but the felt overly controlled. Staff seem more focused on enforcing rules than on creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere for family swims. The constant whistle blowing and shouting from the life guards was off-putting, and the slides, which are a big attraction, are rarely open. There’s a need for a better balance between safety and fun to make it a place families actually look forward to visiting. Unfortunately it is a very dirty and disgusting place. Writing this review after many uses over the last months. Nothing has changed. Floor and changing rooms are disgustingly dirty. Pictures taken at 9am so you expect to be clean. Bugs at every drain on the floor, hair, sweets, dirt and grim everywhere. Toilets are revolting. Staff are unfortunately just not up to the job! First time in newry lesure centre and unfortunately never to return. The today was awful - staff member extremely rude to young people and children and very much overreacting too and shouting across at children in the and arguing with parents In the junior area, lifeguards over stepping the role and functions & really couldn't relax or enjoy the today and wouldn't return.I might well put this down to poor managed of the centre, and poorly trained staff, below what you would expect in terms of common courtesy. Hopefully will improve from my today Ladies behind desk always have some sort of problem. I understand they’re just doing their job but blatant racism is just unacceptable. I’m Aware it’s hard to hear past the plastic but rolling your eyes, screaming at the customer and making them feel like a fool because English isn’t their first language is unacceptable.
