Penicuik Leisure Centre

Quite a outdated gym and could do with a upgrade, has a reasonable amount off equipment but can be busy so alot off waiting to get on a machine depending what time u go... For the price it should be alot better considering it's a council gym and other gyms ran by the council are alot better

Small but decent pool and gym. Has some spa facilities, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi. Also has small soft play area for little kids. £1 coin needed for the lockers and 20p(s) for using hairdryers. Staff seem nice enough, more professional than friendly". Usually not too busy. Would happily go back

I was unsuccessful in contacting anybody via telephone so visited today for a Children's birthday party’ as I approached the reception there were two assistants present that thought it more important to speak among themselves about non related work issues and I felt awkward at best standing in front of them to eventually be greeted by a rude ignorant male assistant that said yes? I asked if it would be possible to book a place for swimming lessons for my 10yo foster son to which I received a swift response we’re fully booked. I seriously wonder who on earth interviews such horrendous rude staff who are clearly not fit to deal with members of the public. Is it any wonder such council managed businesses are in such turmoil when they employ people that are clearly unhappy within their place of work / role.

Too many rules in the swimming pool. Kids couldn't just have fun, they were told off for standing up on the inflatable, weren't allowed to wear goggles that covered their nose. Health and safety gone mad. Will look for somewhere more sensible where kids can be kids and their parents can make the decision over what goggles are suitable for their kids.

Took my daughter here for the first time and I wasn’t really impressed. It’s one big adult pool with no baby and toddler area/pool, the changing facilities are absolutely freezing too! I do expect to be cold when leaving the pool but the temperature was something else. I would return on my own but definitely not with my kids!

Library, gym and swimming pool all in one place, I go quite often with people I support, staff are always friendly. Only disappointment is the jacuzzi has not been working for months, otherwise a great place.

Good little swimming pool steam room and sauna are really good

We use the swimming pool regularly, it is usually warm enough . The new jacuzzi pool has not opened yet. There is also a steam room and sauna. In the same building is a gym and public library. All in all great community facilities.

I spend most days of the week there using the gym, which is well equipped, the library and the swimming pool. The pool is nice and big and I would give it 5 stars but some days it can be too cold! My advice is, if you want to go with young babies try visiting during a time when there is a swimming class either for babies or young children. It is usually slightly warmer then.They have just installed a new soft play, small but quite nice (and rather expensive), however if you want to enjoy a hot drink whilst your children are playing there is only a vending machine.Ample free parking.

Current policy for the gym and the swimming pool is very bizarre! The prices are ridiculous and you cannot buy a monthly pass....If the Centre is trying to discourage people from coming then they do a fantastic job!
