Reviews of Swan Leisure

P. S.

Fantastic place! Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great gym area, great swimming pool and classes. Overall fantastic value compared to other Leisure Centres!

B. K.

Very disjointed, disorganised and needs staff that care about the place. Swimming lanes are all over the place and staff do not manage this well. Smell of urine is not pleasant and the toilets need some lovin'. Seems like year after year it gets worse.

Q. R.

The best of my day was waking up knowing that I was going to spend my afternoon at Swan! The staff was so friendly and kind, that I’m still missing them! Specially, Leo and Phill, who were my coaches, and Alba, who was my zumba teacher! I had NEVER been member of a gym until I joined Swan, and I loved it! Every class I took was so funny and challenging at the same time... just FANTASTIC!

N. N.

Reason for the low rating: * No WiFi * No Mobile Network * GYM is Super Crowded I was going to this gym from last couple of months and Main problem is I do not get a mobile network inside the building.( I am using Vodafone). Also they say they have guest wifi, but it never worked so far. So basically you are disconnected from rest of the world until as long as you are inside that building. Also their gym is super packed in the evening time, so you need to wait for sometime before you get free machines. Pool is crowded too, so if you are a beginner for swimming not a good place to start, as its pretty busy and you may be blocking others in the pool. They have classes and training everyday, but i haven’t used them, but they seems to be good. Overall its bit expensive compared to other gyms. Staffs are really nice and friendly here. Update: I am updating my rating as Wifi issue has been fixed. Thank you for the management. ☺️

Excellent gym. Great pool and classes

A. L.

Staff at front desk was super friendly and the facilities are great!

E. G.

Great Gym and pool centre. Staff is very competent, helpful and friendly. Wide range of classes, to keep everyone motivated. The facility is clean and well kept. I've been a member for over 2 years, I could not recommend Swan Leisure enough. Oh, did i mention the sauna and the steam room?! Perfect to chill out after a work out!

M. G.

The Swan is a fantastic gym- rates are very reasonable and the staff are so helpful and welcoming. I got a year long membership (with monthly installments). Very affordable and very fair. That entitled me to daily fitness classes and a gym intro session with a PT. My trainer Luis was exceptional. Really knowledgeable, patient and good fun. I'd strongly recommend!

J. L. (.

More than 6 months membership there, the instructors are amazing ,All of them,Titka is my instructor and after somehow that i explained her why i want to exercise, she just found what i need very easily!! the Gym is very clean and full of facilities, or even if a "swimming pool" is provided, plus lot's of different kinds of exercise (like Pilates and etc ). I Recommend 100%.

A. O.

Great facilities and friendly helpful staff

S.

Swim here regularly. Pool is 25m, could be cleaner in the evenings. Lockers are an issue, often can't find one near the pool when gym classes on. There are more upstairs but walking down in swimwear isn't ideal. Staff are really lovely, friendly & chatty. Would recommend.

N. P.

Too much chlorine in the water. Too crowded.

P. F.

Gym classes are good, and diverse. Gym equipment is great too. Like all gyms, busy periods leads to waiting for popular cardio machines, but nowhere near as bad as a certain other chain of gyms associated with a certain grocery shop! Unfortunately there are no mirrors for checking form and outline (should you need it). Unfortunately shower cubicle walls, doors etc are not the cleanest (so try not to bump off them) but floors are always spotless. On the other hand, classes are fantastic, diverse and always developing new ideas and formats. Best prices for best all round service. Beats most.

A. N.

The only this I liked about this place is that it was close. I wish I would have read a review saying that the gym and pool areas are full almost anytime you go. On top of that there is nowhere to use a Trx strap but in the basketball courts which are off limits because they are not monitored. The staff are super nice though. That’s where the three stars comes from.

J. H.

Great gym and swimming pool. Staff are great and friendly which always helps. Family changing rooms are very handy when trying to control the horde😁

M. N.

Recommended for kids swimming lessons

K. C.

Has what you want in a gym, all the basic equipment, friendly and helpful staff, 25m pool with family sessions. You can get a day pass as a non-member, and you can do any of the classes, but be aware that if the classes are full, members get priority

L. O.

A lovely place and great staff. However the public space at the front is a bit meaningless and depressing. It is vast, always spoiled with litter & there's not enough stands for bikes despite the size of the area .

V. G.

Great value and well equipped facilities. They have 3 accessible change-rooms, one with a ceiling hoist as well has a pool-side hoist.

j. b.

Brilliant!!!kids aged 4-8 loved it

R. P.

Very good spot for my bodybuilding training, is small and sometimes too busy but is very clean and quiet. Perfect for postwork workout

C. O.

Great gym, nice staff, I use the pool regularly. They have a small cafe too and everything you need to swim, goggles, can, swim suits etc

G. M.

Instructors are great and helpful, staff is always cleaning and people at the reception are really kind. There are lot of classes and membership is not expensive.

G. W.

Amazing complex. Went to see my.grands start swimm lessons. Love the dressing rooms for families. A safe environment.

S. F.

Brilliant pool to bring a toddler, movable floor, and family changing cubicles. The only downside is perhaps there is no free parking in the area

E. B.

Amazing staff and pool

L. C.

Close to where we live, very convenient and the kids love it, might get a bit full at some times, but i guess all the best places full most of the time !! Staff is always nice and helpful

E.

Very helpful community leisure centre. Good family facilities and staff are helpful. It is busy but that is a testament to its popularity

Amazing place. Loads of stuff to do. Great value for money. Infact i like it so much there that my wife has started having a dislike for the place 😁

Classes are fantastic. The aqua aerobics is so much fun & great exercise. The gym is perfect when it is quiet. The only comment would be the weight machines some men sit at them for over 20+ mins. The staff are absolutely fantastic. It is absolutely spotless & the hygiene staff are really kind. Worth every penny.

Á. A.

EDIT after owners comment and after the 'refurbish': Basic gym with a sometimes 25m swimming pool. The gym has a set of everything, but for instance just 1 set of weights of each size, so if someone is using them, then you have to wait. Also, space is extremely tight and machines are too old. They """refurbished""" 2 weeks ago, which means that they added 10 new treadmill machines and 2 bicycles. Terrible job. Now there is less space for weights and the 2 bicycles have the electric sockets on the floor, beside them, so it won't be long until some sweating goes in. Still not enough mirrors, old and ripped machines... Check the photos to see it by yourself. They have around 4 hours per day of 25 metres (over the weekends is less hours) pool and the rest of the time is basically for kids and leisure. There is a wall that elevates and then it divides the pool in 2. The facilities are basic and they don't provide shampoo, towels or anything. Do not expect any of that. The sauna is good enough.

R. O.

The pool itself is great as it is very suitable for little ones. When my daughter did not know how to swim she was taught very quickly by a very attentive lady-teacher. However as she progressed to the next level the man-teacher there was not very attentive to the kids in the pool and spent significant amount of time with his back to the kids in the pool! Which I found very unsafe as little kids were messing there and I felt like I had to watch my child even though she was in the middle of a lesson! The last class of a day was always let out 5 minutes earlier even though it’s only a 30 minute class as it is. So they got 25 min at best.

A. D.

The gym is very good, it has several group classes and swimming lessons, the pool is great, always at a good temperature, the people who work there are very polite, and the cardio equipment is also excellent. I would just like to make a few suggestions: I think it needs some equipment like adductor and abductor chairs and some ankle weights. And I would like to suggest a campaign at the gym, so that people who go there use deodorant, because sometimes the smell inside is unbearable and the weight room does not have windows for air circulation.

C. K.

Good gym good staff just need more weight machines and benches to much cardio machines should swap a few out for legs/chest/back machines

D. F.

Fantastic place. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable, welcoming atmosphere and a highly competitive price point for the services that they offer. Busy during the evening but nothing unexpected for any gym in the evening.

L.

Great staff . Clean facilities... Really love my time spent here .

S. C.

Just went to an excellent spin class led by Josh who was a brilliant instructor. Highly recommend! EDIT: just attended Magdalena's Zumba class and she was fantastic. Amazing energy and really fun class. Matteo's and Jack's classes are excellent as well.

P. M.

Just back after a few years as I was not well so happy to be back the staff are so helpful really appreciate the manager Greg he's one genuine gentleman.

A. K.

Lovely facilities and friendly helpful staff.

M. S.

Great gym and most staff are friendly and helpful the only issues I would have is some members can be quite selfish and stay to long on machines at peak times which can be really frustrating. A simple sign asking members to be mindful of others wanting to use the machines or putting a limit at peak times would solve this . Also the Spinning bikes are placed to close together which makes it difficult to stretch and cool down afterwards.And unfortunately two great instructors have left.Another down point is having to pass by the pool to get to the gym this could be avoided if the backdoor was constantly left open and the desk had some on it to let you in and out

B. (.

The sports complex I always go to. Sometimes it is very quiet, sometimes very very crowded. The only thing I don't like is that the gym equipment often breaks down and stays that way for days. Unfortunately, we have to wait in line all the time.

I have been working out in Swan Leisure since 2018 I always love yoga and it’s a great class you can find there and I hope they will keep it 😃 I also have been doing both individual and barre pilates class with Jitka for a year and I am really happy with her professional approach and dedication to improving my health and fitness. Probably the best investment I’ve ever made! She also send me nutritional advice and recipes as I am vegetarian. The nutrition part for me was the key, because it’s very important to me in regards to obtain the results that I want ( lose weight - belly fat and muscle tone) She is an excellent motivator. I’m not a gym bunny and she knows how to get the most out of me, to push me in exactly the right direction beyond what I think I can do. As a result I feel fitter and stronger. Thanks so much for always show the correct techniques whether it's lifting weights or stretching or barre pilates class. I felt confident in her ability & experience as a trainer. I can't recommend Jitka highly enough. If you're considering personal training, Jitka should be top of your list! Also if you love pilates she is the best 💪🏻 Sauna and swimming pool went few times. Very small sauna and steam room and lots of people. Would love to use more if it was not crowded every time I went, maybe unlucky. Toilets and change room upstairs most of time clean. I use to get a nice message on my phone and a small gift for my birthday 🥳 they don’t do it anymore 🥹

G. K.
