“You will not get better for the price jacuzzi steam room sauna swimming pool gym everything under one roof easy access to buss Station 2min walk. Plus there a shopping center with cinema and chippy all around you I call that a good day out for me and the kids”

“Always clean and water warm. Staff friendly. Swimming instructors are, without exception, excellent. Plenty of cubicle space available and I've never struggled for car parking either.”

“I ve been with this gym for 1.5 years and like it very much. In the last time things are improving even more in every aspect especially cleaness and environment. Staff is very helpful including all fitness instructors Jardel, Chloe and Andrei who helped my out to design my future fitness journey. The guy is a library of knowledge and he is very king and opened. Kindly recommended to all my buddies. Always a pleasure to train there”

“The cheapest Gym in Ware by far, the £20 monthly charge at the moment is amazing value (Normally £26pm) this includes swim and gym, if I use it once a week its still cheaper than pay as you go. Swimming is available some nights and all weekend but gym available every day, its not the most up to date and doesn't have much equipment but has everything I need. The Active app is also great with loads of online work out classes.”

“Great cafe and very friendly staff. Couldn’t get enough of the homemade cakes and the coffee was great too Also has a little playarea for the little ones. Will be my regular for sure”

“Water is a lovely temperature, not too cold. Nice facilities, clean and well organised (although we did go at 7:30!)”

“The warmest pool in the uk! Lovely community pool which is great for adults and children.”

“Easy access from beach, clear and lots of deep mermaid pools too”

“Recently renovated gym has brought a huge plus point to it and moreover you get the opportunity to work hard and stay fit when there is a swimming pool, a gym, and a sports hall for basketball and badminton. At all times you will find the centre really clean with all sorts of equipment provided. The best thing is that it offers really sound monthly packages which are quite interesting.”

“Lovely small pool with tiered seating area on one side. Clean, communal changing rooms, lockers not very good so have to leave swim/changing bag out. Pool is about waist height in shallow area so definitely not suitable for little ones unless you are completely vigilant and hold them. Lovely staff and pool is reasonably priced. There are some great adult only swim sessions if you prefer quiet swimming without kids. All in all a great pool.”

“Great facilities, modern equipment and vari-depth pool - ideal for little children”

“Not worse. Nice and organized bus station in the heart of Coventry. Every bus scheduled here very nicely including Birmingham buses servjces and the national coaches as well. Everyone can get direction easily wherever they wants to go. There is cycle parking site available so you can park your cycle there and take it back. The sign and direction is also visible and some shops is there also. Overall nice bus station.”

“Very professional swimming pool company, management have years of experience and always sort out any problem we have quickly at a reasonable cost, highly Recommended.”

“This pool is a really nice place to swim and train. The staff are excellent. My wife is paraplegic and enjoys swimming unfortunately most of the pools in the area, although they all have disabled access the staff at Kettering pool make it much more pleasant. There is nothing that is too much trouble for the staff. They are all patient, friendly and informative. I feel that it is the staff here that make this such and enjoyable palce to swim. The hoist to get in and out ofbthe pool is an old pump style and it is hard work for the staff yet not once have I heard any member of affairs complain or grumble about this. A big thanks to the staff at Kettering pool.”

“A lovely spot not to far from Cambridge Train station”

“The staff are really friendly, and the place is really clean. I don't get why some people complain that it's not spotless 24/7, but keep in mind that not all members there have common sense to clean up after themselves, then times that by loads of other members that do the same, and the cleaners won't be able to keep up obviously. If the members were more respectful and not acting like children, then yes, the place would be always be spotless. Their website is a bit outdated and needs a big update, but that's not to blame on the staff behind the desk, probability to do with the council... So far this is the best gym I've been to, even if they have less equipments than places like Pure Gym or The Gym, it's way less crowded than there and the machines are quality too.”

“Fantastic pool, always kept clean and tidy. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and it's very accessible in the middle of town with a car park next door”

“Fantastic Swimming Pool. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The front desk is so welcoming to customers. Lifeguards are always on hand to help and make all the customers feel welcome.”

“I had a real good experience at this fitness centre, i had an issue and an older lady (staff) who i don't see there often was not so helpful. I kind of mentioned it to another member of staff who happened to be the manager Jess, i did not know she was the manager whilst conversing with her. Jess was amazing she listened to my issue and really helped me out and i am thankful to her. The actual staff who are their on a regular basis are super cool and lovely. A nice little team at this centre, the lifeguards and front reception staff, always helpful, nice vibes - they work well together, I'm thoroughly enjoying coming to this centre.”

“Absolutely fantastic facility. Pool is amazing and immaculately clean. Showers are all brand new and also kept immaculately clean. Katie the manager is super friendly and helpful and provided all sorts of toys for our kids to play with. Would thoroughly recommend this place we will certainly be visiting again very soon.”

“Fulham (public) Pools has a separate entrance to the (private) Virgin Active Health Club, although both are operated by Virgin. This leisure centre has a 25m eight lane gala swimming pool, a children's teaching swimming pool, three adult and two children's all weather tennis courts, and a public gym. The swim school staff are great, especially Joanna who was an absolute pleasure to deal with when arranging swim lessons. Her communication, knowledge and her interaction with the kids for the assessments were superb. There's a separate smaller pool for lessons for the younger children and viewing areas for both pools. The change rooms and lockers are fine but be extremely cautious with belongings. Staff at reception are not vigilant and far too lax with people entering. I saw a guy allowed entry to use the toilets and he left with a bottle of wine under his arm. Nothing staff could do apparently.. remember to bring 20p for the lockers!”

“Great splash park, to go with friends or family. It's free and lots of fun, just remember your food and drinks. Parking is free there too. There are toilets there and a baby change facilities. Not much shade there so take what you need for that if needed.”

“Great teachers for the kids and to be honest ...its a public pool so don't expect virgin health club standard people...great facilities since it has been refurbished and renewed”

“Absolutely brilliant Theatre Arts opportunities led by West End star Damien Poole. Not only does he bring his own fantastic experience, knowledge and skill to the people he works with but also other West End stars of stage and screen! Regular opportunities to work with those in the business and those training people for the business affords young and old alike opportunities that are priceless. Damien's own personable, cheerful and professional approach plus a team of superb singing and dance teachers combine to create a fab musical theatre loving family. Termly showcases and weekly lessons - all on the doorstep. What's not to like!”
