This is a state of the art gym in London Borough of Hackney. By far the most advanced in the borough. It would seem that Hackney is levelling up for the local residents of Hackney but the invading gentrifiers are trying to take claim to this leisure facility ! Hackney is very lucky to have such a beautiful modern building like this. However here are some of the downsides of this leisure centre - 6 months down the line of becoming a member. Britannia Leisure Centre is oversubscribed with members, not able to accommodate for all its members, hence why the machines in the gym keep breaking down and the same applies to the sauna and steam.nnSauna and steam rooms near the main poolside are severely oversubscribed, the sauna is filled to the brim of people that you can’t even breathe in there. This should not be legal. This is a major safety hazard. There are also a few odd, loud regular guys in the sauna area. They never miss a day in the sauna and steam. There is this one French guy in the sauna and steam room who openly spouts his resentment towards religion which is egregious. People go there to relax not to hear racism and other vile things being spouted. This makes the experience very hostile environment when you have someone being very rude towards one’s own beliefs. There is this One regular, a bald-headed Geordie man sits on the floor in the sauna for hours and shouts and laughs very loudly. He’s one of the regular culprits that can be seen here at every sauna/steam mixed sessions here at the Britannia Leisure centre. These Usual suspects are always using the sauna and steam, making it here a very uncomfortable experience indeed with their loud ramblings on, some of whom come down from the gym. There are also Swimmers also splash water outside the pool landing onto your feet which is egregious. All this spoils the enjoyment of what is supposed to be a relaxing amenity. There is always this French guy, using his roller and standing on the benches in the sauna and steam rooms to stretch - when he comes down here after finishing at the gym. This is a sauna dude, like what are you doing with a roller in there! That stuff should stay in the gym, away from the sauna and steam rooms. Odd guy. There is a young kid about ten years old who can be seen using the sauna here which is illegal! There are some dirty showers down there in the pool area. Though they regularly clean round the clock, it’s still dirty with hairs on the floor and bags in the shower cubicles.nnThe gym is severely oversubscribed, and it gets really busy during peak hours where people are stood waiting for the machines to become free and available for use. Some of the newly furnished equipment are damaged and most need repairing or replacing altogether which is unprecedented- given it’s only been two years of usage. This would suggest it is an oversubscribed gym with riff-raffs abusing the equipment here at the gym. There are also kids messing around at times on the machines. Overall, this gym is not what I had expected it to be - just 6 months down the line. A lot of let downs for me especially the people who are using the gym - some are rude and obnoxious to say the least. This kind of hostile environment exists in the sauna and steam aswell. In the gym, other users will constantly ask you how long you have left until you finish using the machine. No one should feel intimidated when using gym equipment. It just feel like a constant harassment. This is again to blamed for the gym being oversubscribed. This is not the way to run a gym, leisure centre facility. Poor management and oversubscriptions must be blamed for some of these issues. However, this is to be expected from a poorly run, local community facility, i.e. you get what you paid for. Ventilation is poor in the gym as you can smell body odour oozing off other gym users next to you, on a treadmill for example.nnThere are some treadmill machines in the gym that are making loud squeaky and banging noises and this is very dangerous as the belt could slip or snap and cause a major accident.
Fantastic facilities, lovely pools, enthusiastic, experienced swimming teachers & a great manager. Toby has listened & assisted with every query. Highly recommend this Leisure Centre.My daughter had a wonderful birthday party here too. Fun for all the family. Thank you for keeping us all fit & healthy. So lucky to have this place on our doorstep.
Nicely designed building and friendly staff at reception. Tennis courts are abysmal - they are hard courts only in the sense that they are hard to play on. As for the actual fabric, it is some kind of plastic jigsaw that seems to also be used for stock containers at my local supermarket. As I told the receptionists on the way out, I would rather have played on the paved courtyard outside the leisure centre than on their tennis courts. Apparently the pool is nice.
Gym is pretty good but new manager named Jesus won t care about your workout if he wants to go home early so he won t let you finish your exercise and stop you while squats 9:20 to lock rooms which i use more or less 2 years now. Please remove this person from this position and give it to anyone else of your friendly staff .
There are indoor flumes there the kids would love it but I didn’t find the water clean there are slides and pool for adults there too my husband loved it my kids loved itnPictures not allowednWe paid 16 GBP FOR 2 adults 2 toddlers lovely place for kids would love it but please do confirm if pools clean because it’s not but kids would love it and even adults I am giving three starts because of dirt I saw in kids area water I hope they work on it
