Receptionists being receptionists
The front desk staff are extremely rude with 0 professionalism.
Points to consider. You are renting out a sports hall space, to me at a charge. Why then is it an extra £3 for additional players? I didn't know I could play badminton on my own. It's a joke. I would have paid the extra £3, but the rudeness of the receptionist staff deterred me from doing so. She had no clue in how to speak to customers, I'm not sure why kids are hired to fill up space as receptionists, when they have no clue of how the booking system works. I showed her the booking system on my phone and at no part did it say to pay an extra £3. The signs are up by the exits so customers cannot see when they walk in? Which makes a lot of sense.
The space is great, but I'd never go here again, because the receptionists really let this place down with their behaviour. They need new staff ASAP!!!!

Hi M
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear about your recent experience at the Britannia Leisure Centre and will pass your feedback on to the General Manager.
The price for a session has always only included the customer who's booking, and any additional attendees are required to pay an admission fee.

Good Afternoon Ashley,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience at the Britannia Leisure Centre and any frustration caused.
We understand how disappointing it can be when expectations aren’t clearly communicated. Our intention is never to mislead, and we do aim to inform customers about the swim test requirements during the booking process. However, if this was unclear or missing in your case, we sincerely apologise.
Regarding the swim test, it is a safety requirement to ensure all participants are comfortable and capable in deeper water. We understand 5 meters may feel daunting, especially if you're used to 2-meter pools, and we’ll review how we communicate this more clearly moving forward.
We're also sorry to hear about your interaction with a staff member. Please be assured we take all concerns seriously and will look into this further to ensure everyone on our team upholds a respectful and supportive environment.
Thank you again for your feedback as this helps us to provide a better service where we fall short.
Kind regards,
Charmaine

Pointless tennis court
I'm only talking about the tennis courts here. Quite frankly it's embarrassing that you charge £10 an hour plus £3 entry if you're not a member to play on this joke of a tennis court. Whoever's decision it was to install this surface I can only imagine it was done on the cheap. Completely unplayable waste of an afternoon and waste of money.

Hi Dario,
Thanks for your review.
We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your Tennis session at Britannia.
We take great pride in our centres and as a Charitable Social Enterprise, all the money we make is reinvested into our centres and the services we provide so it is disappointing to hear that you were not impressed by the floor surface.
We appreciate you providing us with this feedback and will pass this on to the centre.

The gym is often overcrowded
The gym is often overcrowded, and there’s a lack of clear instructions. Many users leave weights and equipment scattered around after use, especially on the machines, making the space disorganised and inconvenient for others.

Awful customer service ignoring customers despite their mistake!
I was referred to Better "Healthier Together" by my GP and I was charged £10 a month for a gym scheme that should have given me access to the gym and included the classes for free. Unfortunately for several months I was unable to book any class because they were all showing as £7 and the gym Better Leisure (GLL) had a system error and didn't fix the issue on their end. As a result this created a massive headache for me as a customer and I was NOT able to take advantage of the membership I was charged for by direct debit! I have asked for a refund of the months I was not given access to the classes but Better is not answering my emails. What an appalling service and lack of customer care! This scheme gave me stress and anxiety as a result when it was supposed to help with my health! Shame on the the Britannia Assistant Manager Abdul Mustapha who admitted there was a system error but then proceeds to ignore my requests for a refund. What a disappointing company practice!

Hi TM,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've faced with the Healthwise Scheme. We completely understand how frustrating and disheartening this situation must have been, especially when the program was intended to support your wellbeing.
Your concerns regarding the class booking issues and lack of access due to a system error are valid, and it’s unacceptable that this was not resolved in a timely manner. We also regret the lack of communication you've experienced and the stress this has caused — this certainly does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide.
Please be assured that your feedback has been escalated to our senior management team for urgent review. We are currently investigating what went wrong and will be reaching out to you directly to resolve this matter once we pick up your email communication.
Once again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and distress this has caused, and we appreciate your patience as we work to put this right.
Kind regards,
Charmaine
I love that you offer concessions
I love that you offer concessions. I am recently unemployed and dismayed by my options. I decided that instead of feeling depressed and helping myself to the fridge at home, I would focus on my fitness. The monthly £5 concession pay as you go was within my limited budget and is doing wonders for my confidence, self esteem, mental health and of course keeping fit. I started in the Women's only sessions until my confidence grew.

Helpful staff at my local centre
Customer service phone line isn't based at my centre, which is sometimes a problem, but the in-person customer service is always really helpful. I'm disabled so I have to ask them to unlock the disabled loo for me quite often as they lock it overnight, but that's the only problem I've ever had in the last few years, and all the staff are very nice.

The swimming class & teacher were lovely. The facilities are terrible really un- user friendly, very difficult to manage getting dressed having a shower, storing my clothes with a baby , terrible experience like running a gauntlet.
Changing rooms are mixed gender, I was gawked at by young men when I was in my costume. It’s obvious that whoever designed the changing was room was not female and was not a swimmer !

However, we’re sorry to learn that the facilities have let the overall experience down. We’ll be passing your feedback on to the Centre Team so they’re aware of your concerns about the changing area not being customer-friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
