I used to take my daughter swimming here a few years back and they also had a mad kids playtime on…read morea Friday morning, bouncey castle, ball games and who remembers what else. It's a great venue but very limited in respect of refreshments. Suits its purpose for swimming but I never used the gym, tennis courts etc.
I was a member here for a number of years and loved it, circumstantially I am no longer a member…read more Resources were'nt bad but limited, which suited me... there were a few youngsters strutting around and posing. I'd rather work hard for 40 minutes, shower and leave. There used to be an opportunit for a good sports massage next door but this has moved, sadly. One of the better gyms in the area but there is no pool.
This was my regular gym from a few years ago The gym itself was lovely, great place to workout…read morelooks modern and clean. The only issue I had was with the staff at the main reception of the Venue, there was a few that seemed to be very unprofessional (giggling to each other when I would arrive to check in & making off putting glances) At this time I was pretty much a new & overweight must be said) member to the gym scene, so this was really off putting and made me feel very uncomfortable in returning.. after a few months I decided to leave my membership and go elsewhere. The staff in the gym itself are wonderful, extremely helpful & considerate. There is a wide range of equipment available for cardio and strength training which is great. I have not used the swimming pools but the view you get from the gym is great, looks like a great place to swim. Won't be returning though due to the bad experience with staff as the first impression you get of a place is in the hands of the reception, even though not all staff at reception were bad the impact of a few can have a major impact. Have found another gym company & am greatly enjoying it there.
This is not a bad swimming pool, but I suspect the casual/leisure swimmer may disagree. The primary…read morereason I like coming here is the water temperature, it is what many would probably consider cold but for serious swimming this is perfect. You really can go for it here without the overheating problems you get in some public pools where the temperature is just too high to be comfortable. The only problem really is that they have followed this concept through to the jacuzzi in the health suite, its barely warmer than the pool. Although I can't stand it when it's skin peelingly hot here it is just too cold, it needs to be hot enough to relax and sooth the tired muscles that have been worked in the gym or pool and this just doesn't do that. Other than that great, changing rooms are clean, if a little shabby in places. The staff seem reasonably pleasant and helpful and although I haven't used it the gym looks decent, it's on the first floor and looks out over the pool.

I was disgusted last week when i brought my 2 year old daughter swimming at Harrow leisure centre,…read morethe floor in the changing rooms were filthy with hair every where and the smell of urine and the bins were full of rubbish and smelly nappies.The showers were even worse with poo in one of the showers cubicles, hair clogged up in every drain and again the smell of urine all! this place is digusting and i will NEVER go back there!
I have been swimming here a few times and had a good look around the gym. I decided not to join the…read moregym just for money reasons really but it was well equipped and if you live locally it would fulfill your 'no frills' gym needs and you can use the pool too which some gyms, however nice, can not offer you. The pool is ok but the open swimming times are a little restricted due to school and swimming club usage. I have heard that there has been occasions where by people have discovered 'floaters' in here but I havent seen this yet and its relatively clean the times that I have been there. The changing areas and showers are what can be expected of an average public swimming so if your not a stickler for maximum hygiene you probably will not mind swimming here. I tried to book a badminton court here but unless you are amember you can't do this. The courts get booked up really quickly anyway as its a popular sport here. My boyfriend has been to the boxing club but since the trainer changed towads the end of last year he hasnt enjoyed it at all and has stopped going. The staff at the centre are alright, not very personable but dont try calling for info, no-one ever answers.

We were paying £20 for a drop in session that day and wanted to stay for open gym. We were turned away for open gym at Finchly Rd since we weren't members of their specific location.

We just wanted to pay for the drop in class and stay for the open gym session after but we're told it was impossible unless we paid for a full membership to that location. Absolutely ridiculous.

There are a wide range of classes and various levels of membership available. You can also choose to pay as you go which is a great way to try it out. The pool looked good.

Very disappointed with the reopening of the leisure centre. After arriving at the gym we were…read moregreeted with a huge queue due to the systems being incredibly slow. After paying, we were left to find out for ourselves that the pool was closed down to one lane for ten people, with the rest of the pool left empty. The life guards then started to kick out the slowest of the swimmers before the session was half way through due to two swimmers trying to over take all the others. On the website there are strict rules of no overtaking but it was the slower swimmers who were kicked out. No where on the website does it state that you need to go as fast as you can and that everyone needs to keep up with the fastest swimmer! Let alone the fact that they squeezed us all into one lane. the staff were incredibly rude demanding the slower swimmers to "leave now" when asking why we need to leave, we were told that we were all keeping up the two fast swimmers. This is a huge disappointment due to the excitement of the pool reopening. Maybe if you can't stick to your own rules it would be best to stay closed until this virus has all blown over. It's terrible to advertise one service online, pay for that service and then be rudely told to "leave now" with the horrible attitude one of the staff members had. Hopefully they will clean up their act, but until then I would suggest giving it a miss unless you're the fastest swimmer in your class.
Lots of classes to choose from, some good and some not so good teachers…read more Changing rooms are average with them taking 5 months to replace a light bulb in the toilets. The exercise studio is a disgrace. Flooding damaged the ceiling and the floor, classes were cancelled so they could repair the floor but they didn't and when they cancelled them for a second time they only replaced parts of the floor and left large damaged areas unrepaired. Cheap and cheerful but don't expect anyone to return your calls or answer emails and staff are generally kept in the dark so unable to help much. The booking app is abysmal, regularly doesn't work, was supposedly updated and now doesn't work again. You can't book by phone as they don't answer. Booking via the website is ok if you know what class you want to book, if it then it's a nightmare.

It is not a normal gym membership, it is a class membership. For two years they just pretended not notice that my daughter did not take any of the lessons, while still put my daughter in classes that they knew my daughter will never go. contact them and they refuse to refund. I cancelled the direct debt myself. You know what? they called me again told me there is one month notice to cancel and they want me to setup the direct debt again to charge me one more month. it is part of my fault not to read the small print. just found the age to join the membership is 8. the previous lessons we took was not bonded membership and I did not notice the difference.

A large sports hall has different activities at different times but I usually play badminton though you can join things like a 5 a side league. There's a well equipped gym upstairs. All available for a fraction of the price of one of the posh chains. Another cool thing is that they offer discounts to hospital staff.
