Sir Ben Ainslie Sports Centre

The gym is very good. Lots of equipment and very cheap if you pay for a whole year monthly payments also very competitive compared to other gyms locally. Recently end of 2023 there has been a renovation with new equipment installed. Often quiet especially weekends.

Little gem away from the crowds, it's a bit tired, fussy to pay then circle down to the swimming pool down lots of stairs, basic changing rooms but it's a school pool so it's exactly what you would expect. No co changing which makes it hard for a female parent with a young boy, so we got changed in the small disabled toilet which wasn't the nicest. Overall I love that we often have the pool to ourselves when we come, beats the holiday crowds. Staff are lovely.

Good sports center with a large Hall for basketball, badminton etc, and a couple of seperate squash courts. Squash courts do get a bit stuffy in this 30 degree C whether we're experiencing currently however. Changing rooms are okay, and there is plentiful free on site parking. Prices are reasonable for non members; About £6 for 45 minutes for a squash court. Equipment hire is available and reasonably priced.

Came for a swim, was charged about 15 quid for ten minutes. Due to receptionists not thinking to let us know there was a team who had booked out the whole pool. Not very impressed given we'd driven a way to get there n paid all that money for the sake of ten mins. Staff weren't helpful either. Definitely not going back

The 6am alarm and anticipation of a sweaty morning gym session was quickly crushed due to an extremely unhelpful unaccommodating staff member who tried to charge £20 for a single days workout and was extremely dismissive despite my friend being a previous student and regular attendee of said gym. No help was given and this interaction took an extremely long time negating our early alarms and cutting into precious gym time due to the limited opening hours, forcing us to find an alternative gym.
