Hough End Leisure Centre Reviews

Hough End Leisure Centre has lovely staff and runs like clockwork! The place is clean, which is great and they have plenty of showers in the changing rooms. I can only speak about the swimming area as I didn't visit the other facilities available. The only thing letting it down, in my eyes, is the parking situation. Hopefully, this is a temporary bugbear. The drying machine is now up and working again, which is great for swimming suits.

WHAT A SHAME! The gym, have several issues that are compromising the cleanliness and safety of the facility. Firstly, the gym has not been presented in a clean condition from the moment that you set your foot in at 5.30am. Despite being a place where people come to improve their health and well-being, the gym is frequently untidy and poorly maintained. There are often misplaced gym equipment and trash not properly disposed of. This not only creates an unpleasant environment for members but also poses health and safety risks. Furthermore, at opening time you will have to deal with many heavy weights ( especially barbells and dumbells) left unracked, loose, and fully loaded, creating hazards throughout the gym. There is no excuse, this negligence poses a significant risk of accidents and injuries to gym users and is ridiculous that no one from the closing/opening shift can't get bother to look after this important matter. It is the responsibility of the gym staff to ensure that all gym equipment is properly organized and stored to prevent any potential harm to members but unfortunately no one seems to take this issue seriously, even after several complains. It is unacceptable for a facility that promotes fitness and wellness to neglect basic cleanliness and safety protocols. In addition to the health and safety concerns, there is the disappointed for the recent fee increase . The decline in service quality, as evident by the lack of cleanliness and safety measures, does not justify the increase in fees.
