Bridge Leisure Centre

friendly service with a nice cute sauna.

The leisure centre itself is old, tired and in real need of a make over. The gym has alot of equipment and is well used. The swimming pool ladies changing rooms and shower rooms are disgusting… dirty and rotten. The main womens changing rooms are really poor too. The lockers have all been broken into and have small holes in them so unsuspecting customers would not be aware that thieves can steal their belongings. Luckily I found this out by chance. The staff on the desk act like they are on a permanent ‘jolly’ not really interested about customers coming in unless you’re a friend of a friend and they’ll let you for free. Seen this on many occasions… very annoying.

Although there’s a good swimming pool here and a reasonable gym, there’s a real problem with communication with the customers. You can ring up almost any day and ask when the swimming sessions are; when you arrive you’re more tha likley to be told that this session is about to end and there is a 45 minute wait til the next one — and your ticket won’t let you start in one session and finish in the next one. I’ve lost count of the times we’ve rocked up only to discover that although it’s ‘adult swim’ all morning it’s actually in three distinct sessions, which they fail to mention on the phone.
The gym is pretty well stocked though basic in equipment — but it was always good enough for me. I never had a problem getting on the equipment I wanted. Just really grill the girl on the phone about the times of the swimming sessions if you wan to avoid disappointment.
