South Charnwood Leisure Centre

Quite possibly the most unhygienic leisure centre around. The changing rooms are always dirty and smell vile. The toilets are disgusting. The shower power might aswel shower the person standing under it and everyone within a meter of it. The staff, a couple of nice ones but also a couple of completely clueless ones.

Enjoyed a swim with the granddaughter, changing rooms are adequate, pool could have been slightly warmer but overall it was ok. The only niggle was some people complaining as they were trying to lane swim during a general swim.

The swimming in the pool feels like being gassed. The chlorine is so strong and the atmosphere is terrible. I couldn’t stop coughing, and felt asthmatic. I’ve swam in a lot of pools all over the county and this is one of the worst for it. I’m not the only one who’s said this and when you tell the staff they just say “well we have to work in it”.

Wonderful gym, I’ve cold air conditioning in the gym, clean toilet and shower facilities when I have used them. Haven’t used the swimming pool as the times it’s available don’t quite suit me, the app to book sessions is good. Hit it at peak time during the day and it can be a little daunting and busy so off peak visits are great. The equipment is easy to use and maintained to a high standard!Phone signal is rubbish in the area but I do believe you can log onto wifi so isn’t an issue.

I have been using this center for almost a year now and below are my thoughts (minus the classes because I haven't taken any).Generally speaking it is quite a nice centre. Small, but nice.- membership: I have the Premium Membership where I can Bring a friend 4 per month"

Good value for money, exceptional customer service, good size car park.Just two issues stopping this place from being 5 stars rated:1. Lane swimming is not possible outside bookable only sessions which are only few/couple a day 1 hour slots. Since there's only few you end up sharing very narrow lanes with six plus swimmers2. Gym area had been refurbished and equipment is nice but it's bit small. If you come off peak you are alright otherwise it's a challenge to keep your routine while having to wait for someone to finish.

We go 3 times a month it's a great place
