Harborne Pool & Fitness Centre

It’s terrible for under 16’s.Your only allowed between 4-5pm or 5-6pm and there can only be 10 people per session. The gym is small, always busy and overpriced. They don’t have a lot of equipment which limits your exercise. Wouldn’t recommend this gym (I only went because it was close)because I missed many sessions.

I’ve been going to Harborne Pool since it was the ‘old’ pool and the ‘new’ pool. I have to say that the new centre is beautiful. Always clean, friendly staff. Sue on reception is lovely and the other reception staff. Never had any issues. The company who run the memberships are a pain to deal with they are called Harlands so beware if you get a membership. The only things I would criticise and for not giving a five star review would be;1. The lack of normal swim time. I don’t want to swim in a queue at lane swimming. There aren’t many slots for adults free swim.2. Nora who does the aqua fit classes has no empathy. She shouts at people. Singles people out and tells you to kick or hit other people. Plus does not do the exercises with you. Just sits and drinks her smoothie!!These are the only faults I find otherwise I’m happy with the centre and will continue to use.

I'm loving coming here. Other users of facilities and instructors are so friendly. Class quality is great. Changing rooms are cleaned regularly. I'm recovering from major surgery and this place has been such a joy to me in difficult times. :)

Boasts of its amenities but very bad behaved reception staff members, does not respond to requests quickly. Kept charging me every month even after I requested for cancellation. One of swimming teachers shouted inappropriate words to my 5 year old kid. In total, not a friendly place.

The swiming baths are relatively clean. i like the celing windows makes the room bright and uplifting. i gotta say that changing rooms can be a little rank sometimes but thats the peoples fault... dont shave your bits in the changing stalls and dont pee on the floor. So wear flip flops just incase.

Absolutely love the aqua fit sessions and the swimming facilities. Instructors are very good, in fact excellent. All different styles of delivery but the work out is fierce! Aqua zumba is also great. Wish there were aqua fit sessions at the weekends as well. Great value and lovely reception and fitness staff.

Not happy with this place, after being recommended by a friend I decided to apply for my son to have swimming lessons, before agreeing I explained my son is AUTISTIC and non verbal he will need help they said that shouldn’t be a problem, the 1st time attended the lady tried really hard to engage with my child hence the me putting any starts in this review, however from the second lesson onwards was a nightmare, there was only one Instructor meaning my son could not go into the pool because there was no assisting teacher, then the 3rd time a very nice lady suggested I go into the pool with him which I did but that’s didn’t work either, so I cancelled my membership but I still have 1 months and a week left so i called and asked If if could I go with my baby instead to baby classes so I don’t waste my money but I was told to speak with the manager and he wasn’t available so I emailed instead, a week later no reply I called again and he said I could but there is only one available slot which classes with picking up my son from school and I felt like he didn’t even care anyway about my situation, no consideration what so ever, I will be telling my friends who go there how bad I was treated

Excellent place to bring kids for family swimming fun. We have been coming here for many years now and kids always had good times.

I love this gym so much. I always dread going to the gym but as soon as I step foot I’m greeted with a smile and it instantly pumps me up for a good session. I started here last summer and then stopped ( nothing to do with the gym I just had education in the way) but I’m now back full time in the new year and I’ve been building my confidence and it’s so reassuring to have friendly staff there on hand if you need them. There’s also a all round nice environment non judgmental people in the gym I never feel insecure and in fact have been boosted with confidence by other members multiple times. The facilities are always clean and the lockers have a good amount of space. They do offer classes throughout the day as well as swimming in the memberships however I never opt for those personally. All round a great experience every time and recommend this place to everyone whose thinking about joining a gym.

It has rly bad access for under 16 as u can only go select times me and 6 of my friendsstopped going there due to just this and now we now go northfield gym as it’s open all day for under 16. Even though I prefer harbornes equipment I think they need to make the times more adjustable as they would get more people
