Salford Community Leisure

Monthly membership is excellent value for money, & the pools are clean, well maintained & amply staffed. Even better, there's no need to book swimming in advance, & you're not restricted to only 45 minutes as they have plenty of hour-long (or longer) sessions.Wouldn't go swimming anywhere else in Manchester. :)

SSV 5 stars out of 5, Sandsy, Siobhan and Emma all sound. Swinton and Pendlebury, hard work! That’s only based off joining up today, hard work & no manners. I’ve since used Broughton, Eccles and latest yesterday was Worsley leisure centres, all 5 out of 5, friendly staff. Just Swinton with the rubbish staff it seems - again only based on joining my local leisure centre and the one unhelpful, attitude problem woman I dealt with. Swinton 0/5.

I never seen such bad attitue from staff in Salford community leisure, after 5 years I have cancelled my membership . Not recommended at all. 0 star for lady stuff in there.

I can only go off my own experiences when reviewing here and have found Salford Community Leisure excellent value for money. I have the monthly corporate all inclusive package, which gives you full access to all of the classes, gyms and pools across the Salford area. Some of the gyms are in better condition than others, but for what you pay and for what you get, you are getting a really good deal. The staff and instructors I've found all incredibly friendly and helpful. There's a great range of gym classes at all times of the day, evenings and weekends. You can book over the phone, on their booking system and also on their app. My only criticism is like I mentioned earlier, where some of the gyms are in better condition than others, but that is sadly out of SCL's control due to Tory central government cuts over the past 12 years, meaning budgets are tight. I believe there are plans for all of the gyms to eventually be redeveloped or refurbished, but obviously these things take time.

Very poor service specially for pool timing for mantaince or any issue. Some time pool not available to use but same time information not updated on app or website for pool timing.Staff is having arrogant response when you ask them why you not updating website.

The management of the Salford Community leisure is a disgrace to the community. It does not accept complaint and when a customer does complains, it is swept under the carpet and the customer will be left in the dark. This explains why some of their centres treat customers with lack of regard and respect. I celebrated my son's birthday on the mothers' day at Clarndon leisure centre and the manager on site that day was extremely rude to the guests and threw us out of the centre even before 6pm their closing time. The staff was laughing at us whille we were gathering our item to eat outside. It was a total nightmare. The manager was in control of the staff and was coaching them on how to bully us to leave the room, in front of the kids and mums.I made a complaint first week in April and heard no reply till date 29th of August. I made sure the complaint was received as I rang the management of the salford community leisure after couple of weeks to ask whether my complaint was receved and she told me yes and that she has passed it to someone to look at. Anyway, she did not do a good job obviously as she never bothered to get update from the task she delegated. I think because I was complaining about the behaviour of the onsite manager at Clarendon, no one wants to call a spade a spade and they choose to ignore the complaint. I also emailed Clarendon, but was not surprised as there was no reply. I also lost some of my items .Beware of the Salford Community leisure especially Clarendon, as the organisation practice secrecy and discrimination. Another parent in our group told me that she was treated the same when she had our daughter's birthday. Thus, their behaviour to black community is appalling and they are allowed to get away with it. They should be ashamed of themselves. BULLIES!
