Blantyre Leisure Centre

I attend for my children’s swimming lessons. the swimming changing rooms could do with alan good clean or better yet updated, they are not the cleanest. There is not a spectator area for watching the swimming lessons so advised to sit outside at a seating area within the entrance and watch from a tv screen, there are not enough seats for all parents and most seats you cannot see the screen due to there only being 1. The viewing area is situated at entrance which means all service users have to walk through here to go back and fourth to classes which i would imagine can not be very comfortable. When signing up my children i was told parents drop kids off then have to wait in the waiting area(entrance of leisure centre) I have been doing as instructed but I notice there are adults all around the changing facilities watching their children in lessons, which i assume they have also had the same advice not to do. I do not feel comfortable with this. There is no proper security or observation to monitor this.I also had a very rude staff member approach me and addressed my child which i was not happy about at all. After the lesson my child with all other children went to shower and because the soap from showers had been walked into the pool area, he assumed it was my daughter because she walked over and stood beside me whilst talking to instructor, there were a few children that done this yet my child was singled out because she was last child there.We are only a couple weeks starting the swimming lessons and my observations have not been great so far, different teacher every class and not yet anything taught. I am keeping an open mind though…..

Broken bikes, scooters ditched in the skate park. Litter all over the place. Folk trying to burn the place down. I wish people would treat this place with a little more respect.

Was fine until last November 2022 when most of the machines got a red card hardly any thing was working all the weight machines through the back some treadmills and most of the bikes out of order still a bit like this today April 11th 2023 complained but got no response but still took my membership money every month even though we can hardly use anything not happy with this service

Staff need retraining in manners and the place just comes across dirty and unorganised.

Poorly managed leisure centreNo sprung floor ,no mirrors ,As the current Manager uses the fitness studio ,s for office staff since covid .Racket sports currently run at the same time as fitness classes ,balls flying in at the same time ancient fitness spin bikes .

Decent equipment, the pool is small but nice. The steam room is good and hot. Everything in good condition, so far it's worth the monthly fee.

The staff were helpful. The small pool was nice and warm. The changing facilities were good, but some of the lockers were lying wide open and I bashed my head. I would go back again though.

Great first visit to this for the swimming pool. Was my sons first swim.
