University of Liverpool Sports and Fitness Centre Bedford Street North, Bootle L69 7ZN

"Poor facilities, expensive for students (ljmu offer their students free gym)."

"Not allowed bags in the gym Only 2 benches that are taken 100% of the time Equipment feels tacky Too expensive for uni students, should be discounted at least somewhat. Wouldn't reccomend"

"Poor disabled facilities Has lift but only 1 changing room for swimming and that is shared with baby changing ! Pool needs to adjust steps in and out to facilitate people with mobility problems . Shameful for a university"

"Visit fairly regularly for badminton and occasional squash. The staff are sometimes quite rude, recently hassling us over our student status. I understand they need to know, but I would appreciate not being spoken down to like a misbehaving child. Also we had leaks from the roof onto our court, to which we told to just put a bucket down and only use half of the court, no refunds, no moving out court, just simply deal with it. We sometimes play at the John moores sports centre, there the staff are always super helpful and accommodating, helping to set up equipment and ask if we need any extra equipment, the courts are clean and rooms air conditioned. It's a shame the UoL sports centre couldn't be more like them."

"The gym is alright. Nothing special. Some machines are missing, but you can find alternatives. With regard to the swimming pool. They advertise it as “open 7 days a week” which is very deceiving. It’s not open the same time as the gym. You’d think because it says open from 7-10 on weekdays that the pool is the same but it’s not. It closes at 8 on weekdays which isn’t very bad, but it closes on Saturday while only open on Sunday for a few hours in the morning. Very inconvenient as signed up for the University’s gym specifically for the swimming pool given that other gyms in the area are cheaper. Additionally there isn’t other facilities usually expected like a Sauna or a hot tub."
