Swam here with my kids July 2022. It was only £14.80 for a family, which I thought was reasonable. It's not a huge pool, but it's decent, clean and well staffed. The men's changing rooms don't have any individual cubicles thou, doesn't bother me but it was like going back in time! Could be easily made better: The water fountain has abysmal water pressure in the gym, you’re waiting for what seems an age just to refill. A lot of the cable machines keep breaking, is it that hard to buy some decent cables and just replace the lot? The owners make enough money off us for the extortionate prices so they could at least give us some equipment. Would also like another lifting platform, if one person is doing deadlifts I gotta wait around The is the only suitable place for children to learn to swim in the Cinderford area. Buildings and wonky paving slabs don't seem to have been updated or had much maintenance since I learned to swim in the late 1980s. No toilets available for parents or non-swimmers. Shoes now have to be piled up in the entrance corridor before entering the changing rooms as there is no longer a vat of disinfectant for swimmers to wade through on their way to the pool. Generally good feedback on the staff, but reception often out of supplies of swimming certificates/badges etc for weeks on end. Sometimes we receive a notification text message to inform us that swimming lessons have been cancelled, but we have also had several wasted trips with no notification to find a sign outside stating that the is closed. It seems strange that the school seems to have found sufficient budget to cover most of the front of the building in a giant mural, while loose and crumbling steps and paving slabs present a genuine trip hazard. Yikes,I know they are under going work but I think a warning before paying would of been nice, no showers, toilets was filthy, the hand bar kept coming apart in the where my 4 year was holding, it's freezing walking across to the changing room as well as everyone seeing you naked, no private area to dress. It's only got a 2 stars as the was friendly. Also no where to put your keys etc safely so all at risk. Will not be returning unfortunately. The sport centre looks pretty grim from outside and definitely needs some money spent on it. However the were lovely,polite,welcoming and very helpful. The swimming and changing rooms were fine. The showers were perfectly acceptable although mine could have done with a new curtain. The big plus for me is how local it is and the cost, £2 a time pay as you go! Can't be bad, I am planning to go 3 times week and you do not have to book you can just turn up. Big gym with enough space and kit to get fit Experience: Amazing atmosphere like, its too good to be true (Grey Scale hallways) Honestly some paint wouldn't go a miss... really really really friendly staff, when you ask one of them to sign you in. They just look you up and down. Customer Service is defo on another level of politeness and enthusiasm. Even put my thumbs up and smiled when I left and they just gave me a blank look and did not say anything. VERY welcoming STAFF. Honest review: The gym facilities are alright, The Gym* in Gloucester is like £12 a month and has way more to offer. This gyms £40 a month and its just not worth this at all, its just the for me I cant lie, allot of reviews praise there (PT) staff, which I can understand PTs are helpful that's there job. But the receptionist on the other hand. They just don't have enough enthusiasm or politeness when you walk through the door, its not very welcoming or friendly, its literally like talking to someone who has there back turned towards you. However there is a male receptionist who will say "Cheers mate." As you leave the door, which is nice. I am just speaking on behalf of my, Personal Experience. Clearly they do not implicate social equality standards, meaning they treat each person differently according to the reviews other people have left. Overall my personal experience has been far from great. Would recommend a different gym for the price such as DW, which has both friendly and welcoming as well as friendly people who will happily assist you if you ask them nicely. This gym on the other hand, people will simply ignore you. What a wonderful environment. Avoid at all costs!! This leisure centre is most run down place i have ever been to. not attentive, most of gym equipment is broken, they overcharge you by around 40% compare to other gyms. Their referral program is inconvenient, do not respond to notes about gym when asked to give notes to manager about inventory (problem was not solved for around 4 months and still nothing done about it) if you really want to gain something, just go to different gym.
