Wonford Sports Centre

Great, helpful staff. Lovely, community atmosphere, everyone supporting and looking after each other. Amazing venue.

Staff used to be friendly, but we appear to have lost the best staff to the new gym in Sowton. Also, since the refurbishment, the air conditioning breaks down approximately once per month (so the gym is hot and unusable as far as I am concerned); when I ask the staff about this, they just say that they know nothing about the continuous failure of the air conditioning. I asked a member of staff to keep the external door open, but they would not. Probably time to leave for the gym in Sowton - mind you, the private company have lost the upcoming tender to keep running the gym, so maybe we will get some nice new staff!

Great site . Excellent value for money , it's only around 30 quid a month ...go as much as you like , PLUS you can use all of the councils other sites as well in the price .It's good kit , got a heavy weights room too .Showers and changing areas aren't The Ritz ..but for 30 quid a month you can't complain.Plus , you always get a warm and friendly welcome from Vicky , Andy , Emily and the Flower pot man Echo" Keith !Very clean site too ...and ample nearby parking"

The opening times states 7.30 am- 9.30pm This picture was taken @ 8:15pm. Staff are friendly but always closes way too early. And often time even go as far as to lie saying theres a booking right after us, we usually stay and chat outside and we see the staff come out and drive off..... Way before 9.30

Great place with friendly staff. Also place looks clean. Parking is free and gym is quite good. Well equipped badminton courts and gym!!

So I recently moved back to Exeter and got into a more healthy lifestyle/Gyming, and I would not be able to keep it up without the help the staff at Wonford has provided. (I have been using the gym for 4 months now)I received an induction upon joining which was pretty quick, but I was surprised that the gym is Far nicer/Clean than it is in the pictures. I would suggest seeing it in person as its very different to the pictures. It consists of two rooms, one with various cardio and lifting machines with Dumbells. And another room with 3 racks with more dumbells/equipment.I was given free advice on lifting by employees - Which really helped me get on my way. The only downside I will say is that it is pretty small, and as you can imagine if you go at Peak times" then you will have to wait to use equipment. But for someone like myself with an unconventional work schedule it has everything I need. The membership for the gym also gives you free classes such as Spinning/body combat which I personally do not go to but have heard great things about.In summary

I’ve used the facilities here for nearly 20 years, a very good community based centre with helpful and competent staff and excellent facilities, even now I no longer live in the area I still travel in to use Wonford’s gym rooms and football facilities

A few useful things to know:- Free wifi for customers, and small seating area near reception where one could potentially work from.- Either bring 50p for the use of the lockers, take your belongings with you wherever you go, or leave them in the changing room/ reception/ lockers without locking.- The bracelets from St Sidwell's point do not work here, and vice versa the cards that do work here do not work at St Sidwells, so if you don't have a card- give your name at reception to get signed in.Comparatively small gym (compared with St Sidwells Point) but warm and helpful staff when I went and good range of equipment for the exercise that I was interested in!

Nice sports centre for a wide variety of indoor sports

Nice laid back gym. I went there because the ISCA Center gym was shut. It's a very pleasant alternative. You can do your Lidl shopping while you are there too!
