MSJ Sports & Fitness Centre

Slightly reluctant to shared how much I like this place, as one of the main reasons I like it is because its quiet & the pool is never overcrowded. But it is a great place for those put off by bigger gyms & even bigger gym bros!

My granddaughter goes there for her dance lesson

Sports hall and clean facilities. Great astro turf. Staff are very pleasant.Occasional cancellations of swimming lessons poorly communicated.

Lovely facilities, well kept, lovely staff and with a gym, pool, squash courts and indoor and outdoor pitches it has everything you could ask for

Rarely answer phones on weekend

Highly recommended. Clean, contemporary gym with a range of machines to suit most casual users. All machines have TV/bluetooth connections and a range of programmes. Staff are friendly and the gym has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The swimming pool is a classic Victorian baths with poolside changing making it ideal for a quick change and swim. Curved lanes on the outside may not suit competitive swimmers wanting to time themselves, however the pool is a good length and there is usually a range of speeds spread across the four lanes. Good for children during family sessions. The lovely skylight and old Victorian architecture make it more atmospheric than most pools.

Use the swimming pool fantastic price point for NHS. Love this pool has a charm of it's own, great for laps can be really busy at times but also have used it when not busy at all. Lovely staff who are friendly. If you don't mind a really old fashioned pool with no fancy flumes, diving boards, changing rooms at the side of pool with a curtain but really excellent value for money this pool is for you.

Very friendly staff. Easy to book a court.

Substandard Pool and Poor GymThe pool is only useful for slow swimmers as the standard is poor and there are only 2 lanes for swimming lengths, the other 2 are curved and difficult to kick off from.The Medium Lane is always full of slow swimmers and impossible to get a rhythm.The life guards do not care what is happening in the pool, I have seen several head-on collisions and each time nothing is done.The changing rooms are not lockable and there are no lockers to secure your clothes and possessions.There are only 2 showers, 1 has a curtain while the other is a walk-through type with no privacy.The gym is very small with a stretch area, cardio machines and the gym itself.The instructors typically use multiple equipment so it is hard to gain access and some have attitude, so they may be the other end of the room and still have the gall to tell you they are using equipment nowhere near them.When they have a class there is a lot of noise and it is impossible to use anything there.Some instructors can be rude and stare aggressively at you, usually the younger and more immature ones.

Clean friendly environment.. very helpful staff. Equipment is well maintained and cleaned down by those that use it.
