Nice and clean facilities. Needs new treadmills as they just cut out and then show re-initialising. Not so pleasant when you on a high speed.

It’s okay. A lot of pool sessions are 45 minutes. Means you must be there on time if you want a decent swim. Open until 10pm weekdays although staff have tried to rush me afterwards with multiple tannoy messages warning me that they were closing while I showered after my swim. Not really ok. The classes are mixed. Weekend bodypump with Mel - excellent. There is yoga on Friday evening which I can’t find elsewhere. As another reviewer mentions the routine inexplicably doesn’t change. Bodypump Tuesday or Thursday at 6 is awful. The instructor doesn’t show the moves with the weights. Very hard to follow.

Fantastic!, Happy and Excellent and Lovely Aqua Aerobics Instructor Sandra. Thanks Sandra for making this session brilliant and fun. This was my first session of Aqua here and it was a great experience!! The environment was safe and clean, and it was lovely to also meet others and have a chat after. There is even a lovely little coffee shop In the gym that people get together for a coffee, and chat afterwards. The ladies were very friendly and even asked me to coffee how lovely! I felt very honoured! I Would fully recommend this class and this gym. Thanks again... need to book ASAP as class gets full. If not just pop yourself on the waiting list and fingers crossed, I'm sure you will get a space. Happy Days 😊 looking forward to next week's session.

The staff are really friendly. The gym is well-equipped with machines. Opening times are reasonable, closes at 5PM on the weekends. There is a good variety of classes available including strength, aerobic and stretching. Access to the swimming pool is included with the gym membership. Not used the showers as the water is cold with a low pressure.

The pool is fabulous and has a lovely vibe but the changing rooms are not kept clean and dry, they often smell of pee - especially the closer you get to the showers. The gym is great if you're someone that loves a treadmill and cardio machines. The number of weight machines is very limited and the weight area is tiny. It's a small space considering the size of the building. The focus is the pool and squash etc. Even the aerobics/ spinning room feels bigger. It's also just bit grotty and needs a clean. Overall a basic facility in need of some cleaning

A nice, modern leisure centre. The swimming pool is open on a Sunday morning. The gym is spacious with running machines & a stair machine which is handy. You can book the classes on the app. They have ones with instructors but also virtual classes to. You can upgrade your membership so you can enjoy this one and the one in Saffron Walden too.

I’ve been a active member for over 14 years and am now finding it increasingly difficult to complete my session in the time I have available. The gym is busier than previous starts to a year and there has been more equipment out of service than before so a perfect storm! As you keep pushing for more members with your offers & promos, you must ensure all the equipment is working.

I really enjoy using the pool here and everyone I’ve dealt with has been really friendly and helpful. The reason I’ve not given 5 stars is I personally don’t like mixed communal showers. However, that’s the same at Chelmsford and other public pools. My joining experience was seamless, even down to previously being pay as you go - I upgraded online not expecting my membership card to still work but it does.
