Watford Leisure Centre - Woodside

"I've been using all facilities of this leisure centre for years especially the badminton courts the prices of these courts were previously £6.20 which is very good per hour and all of a sudden they have increased this to £18.50. Before 3:00 it is £5.50 but no child or working adult can use this venue before 3:00 and almost all Primary and Secondary schools end at 3:20 or later. I would not advise this Leisure centre to anybody the floors have many problems and the swimming pool and Gym are very crowded."

"The gym itself has fairly old equipment (in particular the machines). Other Everyone actives nearby have upgraded there machines so it's a shame they haven't, but still increased their prices"

"The gym here is really good! It's incredibly spacious and filled with really good quality equipment! The gym classes are also very helpful and the professional trainers are very friendly and motivating towards anyone wanting to hit their goals. The swimming pool gives it the finishing touch where again its spacious and you can swim at pretty much anytime that's convenient for you. 5 stars!"

"Gym is spacious and not too crowded. Gym lessons are included in the gym subscription and really good variety. Gym instructors are amazing, I’m attending twice a week minimum those lessons. Pool is not great. Attended myself and was ok for adults once a week. But for my kids it does not make any sense. Apart from couple teachers the rest don’t care. Just 30m per week of doing the same, not spending time with kids to teach and just trying to get time to pass with not much effort. Changing rooms are getting worse. Cleaning lady is doing her best but with patents wearing shoes in changing rooms it’s messy, dirty and smells. They really need to enforce no shoes policy and hire one more cleaner to support the one, she can’t do everything by herself. Reception and management is a joke. Boilers were failing and had to talk to the manager too many times to do something. Some receptionists are very kind indeed but couple of them are super rude. It had potential to get better but management for the pool is ridiculous. And for £40/month per kid without giving the option for bundles or something more just 30’ it’s a pity. Convenient due to location for me but pool needs work."

"This gym is horrible. It's too crowded and the bathrooms smell. Front desk staff is very rude and unhelpful. Very overpriced and be ready to pay extra for things like badminton or squash courts. The swimming pool is crowded with too many kids and there is no room to actually swim in the lanes. Definitely finding a new gym... Also there was a old lady at the counter who was rude to me she had white hair and was a karen."
