Dorking Sports Centre reviews

Nipped in for a coffee and to find out about swimming. It was not easy to know where to get the coffee at first. Staff at reception make it. Pleasingly, they had decaf cappuccino. I bought a swimsuit and several other items. Good selection of swim accessories for adults and children. Hope to start swimming there soon.

My family and I frequent the sports centre for swimming, gymming and other purposes. The staff are nice and the facilities mostly clean and tidy. It’s nothing spectacular, but offers an important service for the local area of an affordable and functional leisure centre.

Took my 10 month old to their baby bounce session, was very nice for him to meet and interact with other little ones. Facilities were ok, staff were friendly.

Been a long time since I was last there. Nice pool but water was abit cold at the time. I will return eventually

Really good gym. Great for work outs, swimming and have classes with great coaches.

If you are considering to visit here for swimming, please avoid.
I have used adult pool, so do not know about kids pool. However, I felt that the pool was not safe for swimming. Water is so cloudy, dirty, foggy and lack of …

The gym has good classes and equipment and a full length pool and kid pool on the side along with a sauna and steam room. …

Joined Saturday and enjoyed my first training session Monday….May there be many more.

Gym is very basic, not very clean and feels a bit like traveling into a 80/90s time warp. Needs to be bought into 2022. The pool is always full or in use for classes, even in the evenings. If you are looking for a decent gym with use of a …

Conveniently located and good facilities, pleasant staff

Staff are always helpful and gym is kept clean at all times

Good gym with friendly staff but could do with some updates to the changing room

Great facilitates and a very fair price. Shame the council doesn’t have a carpark option that works on conjunction with the center.

Great place for all kinds of sports. Accessible and clean.

Pool is great and gym is full but not stuffed with weightlifters

So I went swimming for the first time since before lockdown with my two boys, now 4 and 2. We used the family pool. Facilities were clean and staff are always friendly. We stayed the full hour as my boys were having a great time 😁 I was …

The parking is paid £1 per
hour and on the top of your membership.The staff did not mention this detail when I was considering membership.As a result I was fined £25.. …

Terrible for baby swimming water was under temperature and the leisure centre gave me fake operation director details and are chasing me for paying expecting me to continue lessons there with a 7 month old. Not baby friendly and my child …

Miss sold on the internet. Not living in Dorking and relatively new to area so hadn’t used before. Said parking available but not explained that this was pay and display until 6pm is a scam frankly. Means a £40 membership easily becomes up …

As a parent, this gym provides so much for me and my family. A creche, children’s swimming, sports clubs, a pool. Personally, I love a gym that provides both equipment and good classes and this gym delivers on all accounts. Friendly staff, affordable! Yes, the building is a bit outdated but nothing short on whats actually on offer here.

Too busy, only one slow lane and had to share that with a teacher and child plus all the other swimmers, yet two fast lanes, one was empty, so we used that one untill a regular I assume complained, obviously thinks is his own private lane. …

Great swimming pool! Lots of changing rooms, well set out, lovely warm toddler pool! Also great baby changing facilities, a seat for toddlers as well as baby. Hot showers for after and good cafe!

good pools , but for the last 2 weeks we couldnt have a warm shower afterwards. We wasnt informed about this issue before booking or when we checked in. But they still charge the same fee. Because of this we are going to use a different swiming center

Things are not getting fixed here.

In the men’s toilet, a urinal has been blocked for over two months. There’s a …

Really enjoy taking my children here to swim, it has a nice family friendly atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and polite. The changing rooms are spacious and there are lots of lockers available. They also have several family changing …

Good range of activities. Pleasant environment. Overall, worth the monthly fee.
Hygiene is not a strong point though. I often see members not cleaning the gym machines after use, and I’ve never seen staff politely asking that they do. There …

Been coming here for years now, gym always clean & tidy, changing rooms sometimes not as much but you can’t help people being people.
Great range of equipment and free weights, though these can both be in high …

Omg , was there first time with my client who has learning disabilities . Young man served us and he was soooo helpful , he has managed to open a new account for my client . On the way back , recognised my client , remembered his name . …

I have tried out most areas of the centre and have been pleased with staff , cleanliness and all classes attend .
However the water in main swimming pool has been more than cold theses past few …

The staff that I’ve meet are super friendly and make me feel welcome and cared for. Jimmy the receptionist is super helping and kind.

Good gym facilities and had great service from Dan the South African who was always available to help

My wife was refused a family court booking for badminton today at reception. The person at the reception was going to charge the full adult charges for them. They ended up not having a session. Their website does offer the family booking …

I have swum regularly over many years at the lovely Dorking swimming pool and I am very grateful that it has been partly reopened, for the past 3 weeks. It feels safe, well monitored, enjoyable, and good for me. Thank you

Absurd and highly inconsistent communication!! Called earlier today to book a slot to play basketball and everything was fine. After I came in, I was told that they DON’T KNOW if I can play basketball or not due to Covid rules…… Very …

First visit it was really nice with good facilities and parking, Jimmy on the reception was really helpful and even lent me a pound for the lockers. Will definitely be back soon

Son has swimming lessons here which are good. The changing rooms are a bit tatty now & the drains / shower gutters really do need a good clean (hairs & all sorts visable – yuk). Staff friendly.

Great, clean and fresh facilities, the water is just too cold though, the kids were blue within half an hour

Haven’t been here for a while but truly amazing equipment, all kept clean with weights and other extras kept tidy. I had a 1 hour PT session, amazing value for money and friendly, helpful instructor.

Helpful staff. Great venue- but lighting a bit variable ie reacts to movement but not consistently or bright enough. It was a bit difficult playing badminton.

This place is great! However, there are some employees here that really rude.

I dont want to name any names, but there’s a few girls here that need to lose …

Grear gym with friendly people but the swimming changes rooms could do with a redecoration.

Excellent pools- great kids pool and really clean changing rooms

As a regular swimmer, I went into the pool this morning. My card was accepted by the machine and the receptionists (who I am sure know me) did not challenge when I entered the dressing rooms, and I entered the pool to swim my normal half …

Went for a family swim today. Price was very fair at £12. Good social distancing. Staff were very attentive

Easy to book and pay at reception. Two good badminton courts, £10 per hour. You will need your own rackets and shuttle-cocks.

Oh Dorking, my beloved town, why do we have such a terrible sports centre!
Firstly nobody ever answers the phone and when I go in to the centre, I see about three people at the front desk just mucking around, so do they just let the …

This is an inclusive sports centre, meaning that disabled persons are welcome.

I am totally blind, and 3 years ago was of the opinion that gyms weren’t for me. …

I visit Dorking Sports Centre for swimming at least three times a week. I find the staff always helpful and friendly, the water quality perfect and always an excellent hot shower. Well done Dorking Sports Centre!

Busy with good facilities but costs to park which adds to your expenditure. Nice pool and clean changing rooms but very dark!

The gym looks nicer more spacious feels less cramped

A very pleasant environment with first class facilities. Always an enjoyable experience with very courteous and helpful staff.

Good swimming pool and changing facilities. Small kids pool with a slide for toddlers.

Very clean and strict covid rules pool cleaned for 30 mins after every 45 min swim session lovely to exercise again 😁🏊‍♀️ …

Nice facilities, paying to park is a bit odd.

Shabby gym, needs updating, obviously funds are tight and it shows. Staff friendly and well motivated.

Great leisure centre! All the staff were extremely friendly! It has a great vibe and the classes are really good! Would definitely recommend.

Good gym, would be better if there were less cardio machines, as seems many go unused, and could be replaced with stepper machine and hip extension machines

Great facilities and good carpark, short walk to town.

Goof family sports centre, with great range of classes, good gym, large pools and a sauna and steam room.

Good range of classes and the pool and gym are great. However the changing rooms could do with an update.

Recommend calling to confirm pool availability, as their website is notoriously out-of-date

Took our little one swimming for the first time and was happy with the temperature of the little pool, our big boy had fun in the jacuzzi pool too

Impossible to get hold of a level 1 swimming certificate. Been asking for months and still no joy!

My child was standing and could not breath I ran in the pool and the life hard was sitting their watching us and laughing the hospital had to come and she was in deatev care don’t go their or you child mite be really hurt thank you

Clean place with a lot going on. I was only there to register for a race, but it looks great

Great gym but not that clean – need to get better hygiene due to covid

Decent size with decent facilities but it’s a bit run down and dated. Sports hall has no decent ventilation.

Still back in covid days cafe not open changing rooms downstairs still closed

Use the facilities weekly and always really happy with services and resources…..staff are all wonderful, wouldn’t have moved to the area without this facility being a box that needed a big tick…..

My daughter had the best swimming party it was great value for money and very well supervised ,will definitely recommend ☺

Friendly staff. Very warm.

Beautiful facilities and very clean, very friendly staff

Very good sports centre. There is a swimming pool and a gym. Would recommend to visit.

Great 25m pool – the water quality is the best around. Friendly helpful staff – great parking to hand

It’s brilliant. All the people who work there are delightful and couldn’t be more helpful.

I swim here a few times a week. Clean and tidy, always a great welcome from jolly staff, even at 7.00 a.m. 😊 …

Charged £9.60 for 45 minutes , the gym itself is less than mediocre. Never again.

Good pool – modern and well maintained. Limited public swimming times loses a point.

Must admit to only calling in here for the excellent toilets.

Only ever used their swimming pool – it is nice. 25 meters
