I love my nee local gym! Super super friendly staff, not too busy, loads of space and best of all, great views across the lake. It?s all I want, all I need.

We were visiting for a long weekend and looking for a family activity of an afternoon at a local pool. Apparently despite coming up.on google search as the nearest pool, there is now no swimming pool? According to the website, it was a temporary closure for last years winter season however no way to book on their website so assuming its still shut. Quite shocking for a large town.

This is the place where I could swim for first time. It was recommended by a friend and she herself who taught me to swim. The water was warm and clean. To me the facilities was great. I didn?t join the membership for the gym, I came for a couple of times, just for swimming practices.But I guess that will be nice if you can do sport here everyday.

I don't have a membership here but I have used this gym a handful of times using a day pass. The staff have been friendly each time I've been.I use the gym floor only, not the pool or other facilities. It has a generic amount of lifting machines which will help you get a workout done. Compared to other gyms I go to, it lacks things such as a sled leg press and a squat rack, that isn't assisted like a smith machine.I haven't gone during peak times, but during off peak times it is very quiet. No more than 5 people in the gym.Another thing to note, I don't think the gym has a proper ventilation system, as I went during winter and it feels nearly as cold inside as it does outside. Same with summer, I went on a hot 30c day and it felt the same indoors. Actually when it was this hot I decided to not use the gym because I don't like training under these conditions.It's a nice location to work out because you can see the lake through the windows which is nice if you train during the day. And it's also relatively cheap.

2 stars might be pushing it a bit but I actually like this place. I?ve been a member for around about a year and for the price I was very happy with the facilities. Just recently the management have turned off the sauna and steam room to save energy, which I totally understand. What I don?t get is why there was zero consultation with members. No offer to reduce our monthly costs and literally zero communication when things do change. Membership frozen until things change.

Facilities look ok and staff is nice but I think the pool is not good enough and there is way too much chlorine in the water.

Don?t be put off by the bad reviews. I have been a gym goer for the last 15 yrs plus? I stayed at the premier inn at Willen Lake and this gym is a few metres away. I have been to the gym on four occasions in the last week and I have to say the gym is clean, well equipped and situated in the most amazing area. On my travels when I have visited gyms that I am not a member I have felt unwelcome but I have to admit the staff at this gym were excellent. I spoke to four different staff members and each and everyone were extremely friendly and welcoming and very willing make the effort to speak to me which is refreshing. I would 100% recommend the gym. Good work management

Great location overlooking Willen Lake. Staff are always friendly and helpful especially Thomas who,on my last visit was walking around the gym offering advice and doing his best to motivate everyone. It's a good place to go if your a bit nervous about taking your first steps towards fitness by joining a gym as everyone is very welcoming.

Such amazing lovely staff especially on reception, a nice clean gym and pool couldn't ask for more so today after 3 months of just swimming I finally plucked up the courage to pop in for an induction and Thomas was so helpful and kind! he made me laugh and helped me smashed through my crippling anxiety and even got my name on the wall ??
I've tried 5 or 6 gyms and never gone back after the first session but I can't wait to come back after today and learn more with Thomas ?

I have be training at Freedom Leisure for sometime now. Great location overlooking Willen Lake.
Very friendly staff and knowledgeable trainers, good sized training areas and a good selection of equipment. Overall a friendly environment.
Pool and steam/sauna area been great after training for cooldown and recovery.
From purely a personal training point of view, could do with slightly heavier dumbells as only reach 42kg. Some 50kgs would be great ? but plenty of plates for those wanting to barbell lift.
Would definitely recommend ?

We have been going to freedom leisure for a couple of months now and absolutely love it!
All the staff are so friendly and helpful, especially Thomas who takes time out to show us what to train every time we go.
I would highly recommend this gym ?
