Harpenden Leisure Centre

A lovely local sports centre, is generally clean and staff are nice.Has a fully kitted gym, good wash facilities and changing rooms.

I've heard a lot of people complaining about some staff’s manner, and I thought I'd never come across it until today. My ten-year-old son was deeply disturbed by the unprofessional behavior displayed by one of the lifeguards. I am extremely upset about the way the lifeguard had treated my son who felt so scared, frustrated, and reluctant to carry on any swimming activity there.

Daughter really enjoys coming here for her swimming lessons. Instructors seem really good with the kids too. Disappointed that Tony isn't there anymore.Would highly recommend bringing your kids swimming here.

Beautiful place however the toddlers pool was closed, children were cold(we won't told and about a pool leaking!!!). We had to leave as my grand had blue lips after 40 minutes.There is no signs to the swimming pool changing rooms so we obviously taken the first ones seen!

We had such a lovely experience coming here today. It's the first time we've been since the new part of the building had reopened (so a few years) James, the duty manager couldn't of been more helpful with the needs of my son. The swimming pool has a hoisted chair to get into the pool. The disabled changing room was fantastic and had everything we needed, including a separate shower room if needed with a seat to the wall and a curtain all the way around it for privacy. The disabled changing room had a profiling bed with waterproof top, hoist, screen, sink and a toilet with ample space. Anyone with a physical disability could happily go swimming here with their carers. Montys had a nice range of food and a good selection of drinks for after our swim. There is a lovely scooter/skate park outside too and lots of open green space. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Good gym, pool, sauna and cold showers. It would be nice if there was a cold shower in the sauna area. I have asked for this a number of times but the best they can do is a tepid one.

Absolutely awful swimming lessons , classes are over crowded and the children struggle to swim without bashing into each other . The classes are so full that even the instructor said that he struggles to teach every child . When I have spoken to the manager about this , she said it’s the correct adult to child ratio and that she didn’t need to observe the lesson . Furthermore my son has had 8 different instructors in 4 months … very poor !

Joined this gym 4 months ago and it’s slowly gone down hill. There is black mould in the spa shower which everyone complains about. The manger has promised to fix this but 1 month later has not changed .The steam room and sauna closing times change due to swimming lessons !!!! Very annoying when you turn up and they tell you it’s closing early . I’m seriously thinking of cancelling my membership.

Great venue for sports and gym also had a small coffee shop onsite

First time at the leisure centre and using the main pool. It was spotless and a brilliant experience. Parked easily. Will definitely be going again
