Freedom Leisure @ GL1

I started taking my son to the toddler sessions a few weeks back and have been so happy that I did. Catherine is so lovely and has helped my son gain so much confidence in the water already.Would recommend!

We use GL1 to play our Activities Bubble Football , Archery tag and Nerf Wars and can only speak highly of the staff and centre easy to book, clean and great access. Keep up the great work.Excel Activity Group

Excellent facilities for swimming. My kid took her swimming classes here. Well maintained changing room and showers too. But the membership payments was maintained by DFC and for any changes you have to speak to Aspire and then DFC which was really irritating but otherwise I very much recommend GL1 Aspire.

What a complete waste of money the spa is! A few plastic loungers and plastic plants around a small hot pool. No staff to be seen anywhere. The steam room was out of action, no bubbles in the spa pool, and the sauna door was held closed with a plastic water bottle. Everything looked grubby and uncared for. It's supposed to be a quiet area but the group of men in the sauna were talking loudly and the other soundtrack was a man loudly spitting as he showered. That was the worst £15 I've spent in my life.

The facilities are here and safe, but it looks poorly managed, really could do with more thought at a management level. Staff are helpful but not supported and over worked and there aren't enough of them at busy times.

Good place at Gloucester to learn swimming, classes available age groupwise.

My son swims here at GL1 and I'm really impressed by the commitment of his teachers, they really do go above and beyond to support their students even at times when they have had staffing issues.He has settled in well, and the facilities are brilliant.
