Gosport Leisure Centre reviews

Many of the reception staff are unfriendly and seem so miserable.
The classes are varied, which is great, however a few have been cancelled at short notice. …

Clip & climb is fantastic for my 7 & 9 year old granddaughters. They’ve been 4 weekends & love the wall climb which tries to beat the clock… beating their own time. Best gets to write their name on the Whiteboard, and wow that motivates speed to the top +nameboard proud twice!

LUSH gym in Gosport. Full range of equipment in excellent order. Numerous and varied classes catering for all.
The staff are extremely friendly and professional always willing to help. They …

Disappointing experience we are on holiday from overseas made a phone call 10am 17th May to enquire about swimming prices for adult and child.
We made our way to the leisure center about 11.30 am and at reception were …

Front desk team are miserable and unwelcoming, need to focus and improve their hospitality skills. The classes are great made to feel welcome even if you have never done it. (Front desk need to learn from this). Although I always wipe down …

I spoke with a member of staff called Catherine she sounded young but very knowledgeable polite and helpful such resources need recognition hence the five stars

It is disappointing to be paying a large sum of money to receive a incomplete service. With 2 of the 3 cable machines out of action with another one on the edge of death it is sad to say this gym is not what it once was. Various machine …

GLC since my last review a year ago has dramatically gone down hill, staff …

Love it here. We use lots of different facilities here.

Great place with great services my only issue is the lack of free swim time

After a year of being with this centre I have given up and cancelled my membership….. the reasons are:- Lane swimming on a Tuesday and Thursday 6pm is a joke, only ever 2 lanes and the life guards do nothing to stop the annoying kids …

Very poor service, had a gym induction booked for my daughter , we turned up and there was no one to do it , they didn’t apologize or even try to sort out another induction , no wonder they are losing money , shocking

Really great place for your kids to learn how to swim. My daughter is really loving it.

I used to take swimming lessons on a Saturday morning when I lived in the area. The teachers I had were great. They were so helpful in teaching us how to swim. I still have certificates and I think my blue swimming hat from here. I enjoyed …

It could have been so much more, but it will do fine

The pool in the summer get super cloudy because hardly anyone washes before …

Great that they open at 6.30am so I can get a quick swim in before I leave for work 😊 …

Friendly staff, clean, welcoming place to go

Really great kids pool. We come every week. Most of the time it’s pretty warm and such a good size. Going during the week is perfect as it’s always half empty. Clean and good facilities too making changing easy. The only issues are that …

I only went to watch my granddaughter swim, but I saw the nice changing rooms. Lovely and clean and constantly monitored and cleaned.

Good access, range of equipment, good pool. Enough classes to keep me ship-shape. Morning sessions for badmi ton and swim/sauna are VFM. Still good vfm, depends on your activity

Great basic facilities and lovely sports hall.
Staff at the front desk are amazing if you have a y questions technical questions Tash will save the day.

Trying to book a court via the phone is shocking! Early call on a Sunday morning at 7am when they open no one picks up for 20 minutes – ‘Oh i’m so sorry we are really busy’ Really??? It’s not even half 7 on a Sunday morning you can’t be that busy! I think you don’t want to pick up the phone! Just be honest with customers!!!

Provide good facility, good monthly charge, helpful staff

I’ve been going to the gym side of Gosport Leisure Centre for several years now and the staff upstairs are amazing. Unfortunately due to recent events, the gym equipment is poorly maintained and the management have made no effort to fix the …

There is a good range of activities and the changing facilities are large and clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly, it is a pleasant place to train or have fun

Great facility serving the fitness community. Excellent instructors. LES MILLS Classes and Spinning. Perfect for all your fitness needs.

Great place to visit for all the family

My husband and I use this gym when visiting my parents in Gosport. It’s so easy to use even when paying for a day pass. There are no annoying sales team calling and chasing for you to join permanently etc and no induction needed. The equipment is very clean and the staff are friendly. Great leisure centre.

Had a great time. Staff friendly and helpful.
Just a shame SOME parents think it is acceptable to leave their baby / toddler used wet nappies on the changing room floors.

Bad attitude from the front desk. Turned up with my lad for a casual swim only to be told the pools are fully booked until Friday at 18.30 for 1 hour. Wow thanks holbrook we’re wait 2 days for your 1 hour slot at tea time. Bring back the old holbrook, turn up when ever pay your entrance and have as much time as you want.

Very well laid out facility, nice clean changing areas and the staff at the front were helpful. The pool itself is very nice, my son had such a good time! Can’t comment on the gym or any other service as we only came for a swim.

Family members have swimming lessons here and they seem to love it. Always clean and staff are very friendly.

Not a bad little pool and some great service.

Had a lovely leisurely swim here today. Water was just right temperature. Not crowded for golden swimming session.
Proper steps make access to pool easier. …

Staff are great, good collection of gym equipment. Be aware they close early on Saturdays.

My wife is on crutches and we had so much help from the lovely staff. Mandy on the front desk was brilliant great with information and customer relation skills were the best. The swimming attendants (sorry can’t remember your names) were so …

Lovely gym staff, TERRIBLE management of the swim. The lane swims are so popular yet they have cut the amount of lanes down causing major Beth and safety issues yet not one member of pool staff will do anything on a permanent basis. Rob (I …

Great place to go swimming, go to the gym or attend fitness classes

I like it but I’d be more comfortable with sex segregated spaces to get changed and showered in

Appalling customer service. Smelly changing rooms.

Took my two girls swimming there last week. The staff informed me that under sevens swim free if you fill in a form. Very clean and tidy. Has big pool which wasn’t to cold and little pool was very warm. Would recommend.

The teaching pool is brilliant – very warm and perfect for taking even the youngest kids. They have an offer on too that means it’s only£4 for unlimited kids swimming for a year which is cool when we were paying almost that every time!
The lockers are padlock only but they have some to hire at reception.

Great classes on offer, clean changing areas, enthusiastic trainers, pool with sauna and steam- we really enjoy being members of this centre.

Poor service, moody staff, not that cheap and ridiculously bureaucratic just to go for a casual swim with the kids. No I don’t want to clog my phone up with your app for your convenience when booking a stingey 45 mins in the pool. Yet another business using “because Covid” to minimise service and maximise prices.

Lovely 5-a-side pitches for a good price. Even have a swimming pool which isn’t bad either.

Friendly and helpful staff. In particular, the staff who oversee the gym are approachable and will even offer tips about form if asked. Great atmosphere, can recommend.

Helpful staff and lots of activities to partake in

Just joined the gym and swim here. The staff are lovely and very reassuring. This is my first time coming to a gym, as it’s always made me anxious, but the staff were so brilliant and friendly! …

Great way to spend time with my boys teaching them to swim with a small and big pool so both are happy. Also have messy float sessions which they both enjoy. Changing rooms are tidy, good value for money and friendly helpful staff.

Good place to go if you want to play football or go swimming, even to play tennis. Prices have been raised last time I went there and they have raised security on the football fields which is very good as people used to climb over the …

There is plenty of parking. They have great swimming teachers and staff at the reception are really friendly and helpful. There is a very spacious gym with a wide variety of equipment to suit all abilities. There are lots of family activities every day. Good venue for parties too.

Wonderful staff, facilities are varied and very clean. Overall great leisure centre

Reception and gym staff friendly. Swimming pool is good. Only down side is children’s swim lessons sometimes 12 to a group then people drop out quickly as they can’t retain teachers as the swim Co ordinator isn’t very polite and only works 2 days a week. So scheduling or getting responses will take time.

Absolutely fantastic a great centre great atmosphere everyone really friendly and helpful. The pool is clean and prices are good here compared to some swimming pools I’ve been too. What is great to a pub opposite so you can work up an appetite go for a meal or go for a meal work that off overall a great place to visit.

Swimming Pool is not the biggest, there is one for adults and one for children, there is artificial sauna and steam room, really small for few people and they cost extra, hours for all access are 13till 16:30 more or less, so not much. …

I’ve only been here for a football tournament but the facilities that I saw seemed really good. The football pitches themselves could do with some TLC for example the boards/ turf ect… All staff seemed nice and the centre had lots of variety with the things they offer.

Cold when you get into water. Warm up after a while. Warmer now in the changing rooms which is nice. Still a shame on the time for. swimming nice if it was between 6 and 7.or 7 and 8.

Facilities have had an update and if you are looking for fitness classes they now have better availability. Family membership is in the region of £90 and that allows access for Two adults and upto five children. Minimum membership time is …

Taken the kids swimming here and they have really enjoyed it. It is very popular and fills up very quickly during the All Welcome sessions. Recommend that you turn up before the session starts if you want to get into the teaching pool.

Good fun and exercise for all

Friendly and helpful staff. Only went for a swim. Easy to book online for sessions and they offer quick check in as well as normal check in, also can pay for sessions in person instead of online.

I use the leisure centre regularly for swimming. Staff are always nice and efficient. Changing rooms and showers are generally clean but there was a stinky toilet smell that you could smell near the deep end of the pool.

Such a lovely friendly place to go the staff are more them happy to help with anything. make sure that your ok and help you when your unsure. such a clean and safe place to be able to gain your confidence, love yourself and life again

Poor services and badly maintained. Not good value for money. Revenue over customer service every time. …

Good pool, can get over crowded, front staff could do with cheering up as they all look miserable and sour faced, just saying, a smile and friendly greeting and farewell doesn’t cost a thing!😁😁 …

I’ve just had my first gym workout since Covid and really enjoyed it. The app allows you to book an hour slot and gives you a QR code to scan when arriving. You have a one way route to the gym and back out. The gym itself is all socially …

Great atmosphere, modern and clean facilities.

The ladies keep saying that my lessons don’t start at 8:30, when I tell them …

Fun place to go there

All but one of the female staff I encountered, didn’t have an understanding of manners or how to speak to someone. One of the receptionists must’ve been given the job from family or a friend- since she’s clearly at minimal education to get …

Not returning to this place. Mentioned to staff it was my first trip there, they didn’t really tell me what way to go what to expect etc, never elaborated on answers so I had to keep asking. …

I going to be as honest as I can be. I have been going to this place for 2 years now and still go mainly for the convenience of the location and one PT in particular Steve. The classes are good the ones I do. Again I only go to Steve …

It’s not a good place for the casual person who visits a few times a year or a person who wants to just walk in to use the gym everything, it’s not made simple with all the booking times, and the way they crop up areas for the casual …

Great place to excise however the the QR code to enter gym hard to get right. Overall fantastic experience to get fit.

Went swimming with my baby and disabled mum. It has taken us a long time to find a pool that my mum can get into. This pool has a stairway with an arm support both side. My mum is overjoyed to be able to be in water again.

Quite organised clean and tidy. Changing rooms could do with better powered hairdryers…. also showers not constant temp and sometimes suddenly comes through very hot annoying with child aged 6.

Not bad at all.

Friendly, lots of differnt chioses of things to do Ellie is brilliant at organizing
My only compliant is people parking in Disabled parking bay that aren’t disabled …

Poor setup in my eyes no one way system in place half the equipment in the gym cant be used to social distancing they haven’t thought it out very good in there and still charging you full membership price for half the stuff

Helpful staff, nice pool and good showers 🚿 and changing room 👌. …

Awesome place with great facilities, classes and helpful staff.
