Heworth Leisure Centre

I love it here. I've recently been doing the aqua fit classes. And they're good depending on what day you attend. Monday night and Thursday mornings are great and Alan covers the class sometimes. Alan is amazing really pushes everyone in class and gets into the pool and joins everyone. AMAZING!

We really enjoyed our visit today. We got parked into a patent and child bay even though it is the school holidays, bonus. The building is well laid out so there is obvious flow to where you pay, change and then go into the pool .Some changing rooms are like mazes but this one is nicely set out. There are 3 big family changing rooms which are great but there's often a wait for them. The others are too small for 2 adults and a toddler. There are a fair few hairdryers that appeared to be free. There's a nice seating area for family watching children swim. There's a surfing pool with instructor. Our son liked the small pool which was a nice temp but he wanted to be in the fun pool the whole time which is really quite cold. The depth is graduated and of a nice depth for a toddler to walk and play in easily. He especially liked the spray archway which kept him entertained for ages.There are a few downsides though. As mentioned before there are only a few family changing areas. You need tokens for the lockers which aren't refundable. You'll need more than one if u need to return to your locker and lock it again, they're 20p each. The fun pool is cold. All of the showers are ridiculously hot. I don't mind a hot shower but I couldn't put my son anywhere near it. On the whole we had a great time and would return

I go to this daily and I mostly have positive thoughts. It is a relatively small gym but it is well equipped with modern machines and plenty of free weights. The prices for a go Gateshead membership are posted on their website. With the membership you get access to all other gyms currently with go Gateshead including their swimming facilities and gym as well as some other things like classes and saunas.

It's a small but relatively well equipped leisure centre, with swimming pool, gym and classes. The equipment is modern and well maintained but the opening hours won't suit everyone

Swimming teacher Graham is great with the Kids. Can get abit busy when swimming lessons are on. Really clean inside. Can't comment on the gym as i haven't been before.

The East of Gateshead needs this to be open full time, long hours, accommodating the residents of this area.Bringing prices down, especially for children, maybe do a family package.The swimming pool is great.The facilities are brand new and yet Gateshead Council keep closing it.Time for a rethink and sell it.

Visited for the sole purpose of accessing the swimming pools. I found the facilities clean and well maintained, the pool water was on the cooler side of comfort, but I'm generally a giant baby when it comes to anything cold.Once in and moving the water was fine. Main pool split into two sections, 1 with lanes which got quite busy very quickly. Changing area booths and showers were nice and spacious, with locker room enough for two bags.Staff were polite and well informed.If I could recommend any change it would be opening hours as not open long enough so can only visit once a week with work commitments.

Fine just like any other. 3 stars because they have an attraction which they never enable, if you ask you wont find answers. And price feels like if you are paying for it.

Lovely place with big swimming pool and open space for everyone.
