Dover District Leisure Centre

Really great facility in the area, especially after the recent upgrade — the new gym equipment is top-notch. I’m particularly impressed by the service and support from the gym staff, Paul and Nate (hope I’ve spelled her name correctly). Their attitude and patience are superb. I’ve been having excellent PT sessions with Paul — he’s incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and professional. Couldn’t ask for a better trainer. I also look forward to when Nate starts offering PT sessions — I’m sure she’ll be a fantastic trainer as well. Another highlight is the yoga instructor, Katie. I joined her Hatha Yoga class by chance on Tuesday at 11:15, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. She’s a true yogi with a deep understanding of anatomy and the science behind each asana and breath. Her subtle guidance completely transforms the experience — highly recommended if you’re looking for real yoga that goes beyond poses to the meaning and richness behind the movement. She also mentioned teaching a Chair Yoga class on Fridays — I haven’t managed to join yet, but I’ll definitely try when my schedule allows. It’s a privilege to have such excellent, genuine teachers at this center.

Spacious changing rooms. My adult son has mobility problems but the accessibility is fantastic. We used the pod to bring him out of the swimming pool and he got into a wheelchair and he wheeled himself into the changing room.

Modern which is nice, nice and clean with great showers, the pool is very small to many lanes in place, not enough space to just bob about, if you stop swimming in a lane and just float for a minute they moan. 50/50 on staff. Blonde lady nice and friendly, some short hair, black hair guy called a customer a f ing - word C - word today to another member of staff, which was not professional, because a member of public was playing up in the pool with his kids. Not sure what he did but felt more like the guy escalated it more than it needed to be. Police also arrived lol. Overall £14 for two people to half swimming for hour or so not to bad. But will try other places.

I am delighted to be a member of this leisure centre at Dover I had a good tour of the whole place with a lovely member of staff called Bridie she was so kind and caring and listened to all my questions with patience Bridie was most helpful and empathetic towards my needs I give her 10/10 she is indeed an asset to the company, this leisure centre has lots to offer plenty of parking spaces a large entrance plenty of facilities for wheelchair users including toilets showers and café it's a lovely clean and spacious centre with everything you need the swimming pool is large and has beautiful views of the countryside and fields with same views from the fitness rooms they also have a sauna and steam room a separate children's pool, squash courts, football pitches, climbing facilities and the people are very friendly and courteous I compared this centre with the Bannatyne in Broadstairs and I can honestly say there was a huge difference between the two with the private centre Bannatyne costing £72. A month and looking like a rundown public centre on the other hand the Dover leisure centre is free to use for the public there are no costly contracts cancel any time, there was no upgrade in decor or facilities at Bannatyne which you would expect for a private centre, the Dover centre costs £45. For the full package and the centre it's self is so much better. The decor the space the facilities the cleanliness friendliness and amount of changing rooms showers lockers ect never failed me this is what I'd expect from a private centre but I must say Bannatyne in Ashford Kent is a good large centre in my experience it's only been the Broadstairs centre that let's them down. 😀
