Tbh I hate this gym very much the monthly charge for starting was just weird and I didn't understand.
The free weights section is probably the WORSE of any gym I have ever been too. People just leaving weights out or dumbbells being put back not in pairs. Woman just using the free weights section but gatekeeping 2 sets of dumbbells and walking to the otherside of the gym to have a ten min conversation with the other bored people who are also just sorroundin another piece of equipment just to go and do 1 set every 10 minutes. honestly this place is used more as a social gathering spot for jobless bored people with literally no consideration for anyone who is actually there to actually train. What are the workers even for also what are they even doing ? Once I have seen them clean the weights left out and that was just when only one pair had been left out. Only reason I have to have a membership to this place is because my daughter is 16 and can't join anywhere closer yet !

Wow! Where do we start on this day! One of my fave days out ever⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ my girlfriend and I along with the kids went here with some of the bolton all starz for the iconic street dance competition, the centre was huge! With all facilities your usual sports centres has to offer but more, I found this hall one of the biggest ive ever seen, the stands for the crowds were perfect with no worries or not being able to see the dancers, they had karate on, swimming an lots of other groups this day but it was very organised from the staff and everything from the first aid team to the catering staff was well and in place, plenty options in the cafe if you managed to sneak passed the mcdonalds that's nearby the building and there is vending machines available with even more choices, we had a very good time through the whole day we was their from around 7 30am till 5pm, the motorway isn't far from the venue so it didn't take us long to be bk on the road for bolton either, I would highly recommend using this venue or visiting to use their facilities, it isn't on my doorstep but I won't forget this place and look forward to returning soon, maybe at the next street comp lol love the parent dances😝😝 hope this review helps, I always try to include all I can,
Have the greatest day,
The smooth guide😏

Was here for a karate competition, so we only used the changing rooms and sports hall, so this review is only based on that.
Changing rooms were clean and spacious, loads of lockers, and some private cubicles.
Sports hall was warm, clean, and a good size.
There are bleacher style seats, so viewing area for spectators was really good.
The staff as we arrived were very friendly and kind.
The cafe served hot drinks, so a bonus

Awful sports hall, very slippery surface, lighting very poor, dangerous. The floor is new, but no better than before. The lights have been terrible for at least two years and nothing has been done, many don't work and plenty more give a very poor illumination. They all need replacing. My advice - find somewhere else to play. Only gets one star because I can't choose none.

Booked online for Two adult and Three kids Tuesday 13 July 2024 at 15:15 pm .Booking process was simple and easy.
My Experience from Entrance to Exit the premises was absolutely horrible NOT recommended to any of my family, friends or Relatives. Racist Staff with Zero respect. My son have his own floating tubes and toys with him.He took on of yellow floating board and lady gave such a dirty look and took it back from him.
Have been to Virgin Active many times they don't have any objection if someone use those swimming bords.
Lifeguards at swimming pool are absolutely Resist specially Two old ladies.

I guess both doesn't even qualify for any Cleaner Job No wonder they are recruited as a life guard.Disgraceful and Disrespectful Staff.

Very well equipped gym with an excellent variety of equipment to suit all needs. Friendly and helpful staff always keen to offer advice and support. A large variety of fitness classes, swimming pool and cafe, everything you could want, highly recommended!

Okay.

Staff are friendly enough but often lack drive/motivation (possibly due to conditions or salary).
Gym equipment is adequate if a little outdated.. Communication isn't great and security is awful, never leave anything of any real value in the lockers provided or in the car park/bike racks. Had an £1200 Ebike stolen from right out side and the staff blatantly could not care less, my inner cynic is convinced certain staff members know the people involved...
Health Suite is something I use almost every day and is in a pitiable condition. The steam room and sauna have never been cleaned properly (especially the sauna, it has dead skin caked between the wooden slats that has been there for at least 5 years) They also think the steam room cleans itself as you can see a hair or small piece of rubbish/chewing gum on the floor on a Monday and it will still be there the following Wednesday..

Also, don't expect improved services or equipment despite regular increases to the cost of membership..

I repeat that the staff are clearly let down by the company that employs them and their attitude can reflect that on occasion despite being generally friendly and helpful.
