What visitors say
I kid you not each week another machine disappears or becomes out of order. The machines are never cleaned. The staff mop and hoover every day but never properly, very badly done and therefore constantly missing large areas of the gym, etc. The swimming pool has been a mess for literally more years than I can count. Have avoided it my whole life which is unfortunate because I love swimming. The lack of clean and functioning machines which again, literally decrease by the week, is ridiculous and the membership fee should not be more than £10-£15 for what you’re actually getting with the state of things. They need to hurry up and sort all the machines out, or start refunding membership fees. I know they’re planning some type of renovation but this has not actually started, it’s been getting pushed for months and months now and in the meantime they’re not fixing or replacing the machines. Abysmal management all around. Literally any O Better gym is better than this location. Every single toilet is not maintained and cleaned, the disabled toilet hasn’t even had hand wash for weeks now. I wish I was exaggerating in saying the state of all the toilets stinks and it is so run down you’d think you’re in a third world country’s market toilet! You feel disgusting using the toilets there. Unfortunately, I am restricted to using this location only due to disabilty and that just means I’m paying for a treadmill and if I’m lucky 3-4 functioning machines. Insanity that this has gone on as long as it has and Lord knows how much longer it will likely continue!

The worst experience ever, came here to play badminton with my bestest friends as we bond over playing this sport. We walk into the badminton court area and we’re greeted with extremely low scaffolding that does not allow us to play properly at all, we had a chat with the team and they believed otherwise, they said it was assessed and “playable”, i have provided pictures of how it is meant to to look like vs what it looks like currently. Paid almost £20 for this most expensive venue yet and the team was very uncooperative to the end. This should honestly not be listed on the website very misleading and as a frequent person who books with better i am disappointed with this all. Ps. The whole place smells like sewage and damp, this leisure centre needs to go in the bin

I’ve been doing group swimming lessons at Kings Hall Leisure Centre for a while now, and I just realised I’ve never left a review even though I’m really happy with the service and staff! The pool might be a bit old and dated, but it’s always pretty clean, and everyone there is super friendly. My swimming teacher, Ileana, is honestly the best! I actually go there just because I enjoy her lessons so much. She makes every class fun and always mixes things up with diving, jumping, and different swimming styles to keep us excited. Thanks so much for giving me confidence in the water and for making learning to swim such a fun experience!

Nice warm water, the pool was busy but you could manage your swim. It needs some serious work in cleaning, there is a strong stench coming from the loo.

Other reviews mention the equipment can be poorly maintained and the facilities can be neglected.
