It's a good leisure Center but the car park is way to small, there are people parking on the zebra crossing the double yellow lines and double parking because there is nowhere else to park! Not sure if the land to the left is allocated for something else but if not the cat park should be extended because we pay enough per month to pay for it , to be honest the car park should have been made bigger to begin with . The gym needs a bit of an upgrade with some new machines as well but the most importantly thing is that parking .
Today was my first time going here for a parent and toddler swim session. Although I didn’t have many concerns about the session, I don’t understand why for the swimming pools it is a MIXED changing room and showers?… There’s also no baby / wheelchair friendly shower so we really struggled, there should be some private shower rooms I still can’t get my head around this. Be mindful of this particularly if visiting with children.
The negative experience starts the moment you walk through the door. Most of the reception staff are rude and unhelpful. Once you get to the gym you're met with a filthy gym with lazy staff. In the gym area staff either hideaway or sit on a stool disengaged. People in the gym never put the equipment away and they throw the weights down or constantly bang them to draw attention to themselves. This is never challenged but why would people respect the gym when the staff don't?!? Weights are never put away properly and you'll often have to go on a hunt for the weights you need. I have only ever seen one person who works in the gym tidy up. Broken equipment is left out for customers to use it when it's removed it never appears again....... The squat racks have bolts that are coming lose; the maintenance in the gym is very poor and an accident waiting to happen. Staff stand round talking to each other and act unprofessional.......don't waste your time.....there are cheaper options in the area!
Everything is fine/ great but the showers are far too hot. It’s like lava. I try to look after my skin and the boiling water is terrible for my face. Other customers say the same and people are trying to find the coolest shower. PLEASE reduce the temperature
I love the leisure centre. When you walk in there are friendly staff to greet you. Debs is particularly great but all receptionists are warm and welcoming. The manager is always around and is friendly and welcoming as well. I love the gym and the pool. Tony was a great help when I started at the gym, kind and patient with me. This is my safe place where I come to exercise, destress and it helps me with my depression.
Good gym and swimming- parking is an issue it would be good to possibly use the old site to expand parking. It would also be great to have some more women only sessions as they seem to be massively popular.
Modern & Clean facilities. Parking is a problem, struggled to get a space today. The pool isn’t as big as I expected. Not a patch on what it used to be, Stechford Cascades used to be such a good swimming baths with slides, fountains, sprinklers etc.
I'm thrilled to share our experience with the swimming instructor at Stretchford Leisure Centre. Despite initial apprehension, my little one started swimming lessons there two months ago. The instructor's supportive and encouraging approach has worked wonders, boosting my child's confidence in the water. We're truly grateful for her dedication and positive influence on our swimming journey.
I have had so far a great experience here until a recent event. My wife and I made a membership with the centre including swimming and gym and swimming has been going great. My wife wears full cover as we are practising Muslims and this is also in the pool as full cover swimsuits are available. The lifeguards have been ever so sweet about this and understanding. They have not once made my wife feel uncomfortable. We enjoy our swims there with the kids.Sadly when my wife went to the gym she used the running machine for a good 10 minutes until one of the gym instructors came out to tell her that she cannot use the gym in the attire she was wearing which was the full abaya. So my wife was understanding and left hoping that another outfit would be better as the one worn on the Monday was a bit long and wide. In the same week she went to the gym and out of etiquette asked if the attire she was wearing was suitable which was the same attire she wears in the pool but sadly she was declined and was said that it was not appropriate as it was below the knee. Wearing something below the Knee is not appropriate nor modest for a Muslim women, so my wife did not feel comfortable to comprise her comfort to suit the gym policy. So she left the gym and went to the park outside. She literally worked out at the park as an alternative because as a busy mum that is literally the only time she gets for herself. She met the women who made her aware of her outfit not being ‘safe’ and she was apologetic. I would just like to say that if a Muslim women is not comfortable in an outfit that is considered ‘safe’, the centre should consider letting the women exercise in that attire at her risk. My wife ran for 10 minutes and was completely capable of doing so. As she can’t use the gym as her attire is not suitable she opted for the swim only membership which is fine as that the main reason we chose this centre. It would be nice if the gym is a little bit more considerate for Muslim modest women clothing just as the lifeguards at the pool are.
I made over 11 attempts to ring the leisure centre phone either rings out or is intercepted by a voicemail greeting and although messages left nobody gets back to you. Tried booking swimming sessions on line but error URL messages come up every time even when correct details have been entered. So frustrating. Only option is to drive all the way there to get my query answered running the risk of wasting my time
