Great, however concerning the junior induction, I reckon that it is pretty stressful,as the inductors are most times not reachable.

Clean and tidy, lots of equipment
Great Gym area I liked the fact that the equipment is new and the people are friendly. Plus is that there is also a full sized pool and lots of changing rooms. So far played badminton here, they have a racket and shuttle hire service and next up Squash I have never played before but there seems to be a good number of squash courts here mostly empty so easy to book in. Also the roof top football court is great!

some points to consider-
some points to consider-
what went wrong? yesterday someone came in with a knife demanding money from the cafeteria. once again, police is called to the building. no security person on site? soon these usual hackney suspects will be taking hostage our kids?
sauna is broken since weeks, and the steam room? I HAVE NEVER SEE SEEN a more filthy steam room, the tiles are so f****** disgusting. lifeguards do not clean it, they throw a bucket of pool water once a week at best on the steam/sauna floor. the tiles are black almost, and the silicone around it went from white to black.
I HOPE MORE PEOPLE WILL UNSUBSCRIBE.
If filth represented a building, a company as a whole and its staff treatment towards people, it'll be britannia.
Even the ukrainian cleaners are so comfortable now, shouting across the changing room in the pool, and talking between each other about the customers.. and also i often find them chatting away in the womens changing rooms on the 1st floor for a good 20minutes if they have the chance. But they (overall) are the only ones doing the most work to be honest.
The manager at the top, he is of black skin.. i don't think i saw him once at the pool area. He should be inspecting the areas and making sure they are clean, it is disgusting. How does one get a job and is no where to be seen.

Hi Happy,
Thank you for review.
We would never not offer a service because of 'vengeance' or for personal reasons.
As per the alert on our website the sauna is currently not available due to a technical fault and we are working hard to ensure it is back up and running as soon as possible.

More machines for women to use for certain workouts
I use better gym, Britania being my local lovely space and centre but they definitely need to upgrade the equipment I feel like there’s not much machines for women to use like hip thrust machine, glute kick back press machine split squat roller stand etc I think these should be available for people like myself who need more support and find it hard to use the regular machines to perform glute workouts and for people who suffer with back problems who can’t use the regular machines at all, a lot of the machines are based around men and are always hogged by the men it would feel really nice to have more machines that women can use and benefit from as well.

Britannia leisure centre has taken almost a month to fix an issue with the sauna. Having been repeatedly advised it’ll reopen week after week. Clearly the management there are not prioritising issues in the centre. Rather advise customers misleading information. By telling them what they want to hear. The centre manager “Toby” needs to pull his finger out. From where ever he has stuck it.

I am disgusted by the efforts made by the manager Zahir. He lies about the sauna not being part of the facilities. He said since it’s not part of the facilities, he is in no rush to fix the sauna.
It’s been off for 5 weeks.
Can someone at the company higher in position than the people at Britannia look into this management and the way they treat customers?

Good afternoon Zara,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the out-of-order status of the Healthsuite at the Britannia Leisure Centre. While the Healthsuite is an integral part of the centre, its current status is certainly not intentional. Your concerns have been duly noted, and I will ensure that they are brought to the attention of the centre manager for prompt investigation and resolution.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Sincerely,
Charmaine

Excellent customer service
I just wanted to say, I rang up today and spoke to a really lovely lady called Jasmine. I don't know her surname.Jasmine went above and beyond to help with me filling in an online membership as I'm really not very good at doing things like that. Her customer service skills were absolutely brilliant. I hope she gets the recognition that she deserves.

No armbands = no family fun
I attended a Family Fun swimming session with my husband and my 5 and 2.5 year old....and it was anything but fun. We've enthusiastically attended family Fun sessions at the Brittania Leasure centre since our youngest was 3 months old and as a result both children are confident in the water and able to paddle around and float without the support of a flotation devices (which we have never used). Until our experience today I would highly recommend it. However, when we attended today, after getting changed, going down the slide 3 or 4 times and swimming in the pool for about 5mins we were told that we needed to get out of the pool because the children didn't have armbands on. Apparently a new policy says that all children under 8 must wear them.
This policy has been introduced because (quoting Duty Manager James) "some parents can't be trusted with their children" so they are punishing all children under 8 and forcing/humiliating them to wear armbands, regardless of whether or not they can swim. Other parents and children were similarly being instructed to leave the pool if they didnt have armbands. Several children were in tears.
When I questioned the Duty Manager why this new policy wasn't communicated when tickets were purchased, or indeed when we were allowed in...we were simply told that this information is included in the booking information (it wasn't) and that there was a sign at the entrance (a small A5 sign is on the desk...but nothing on the giant information chalkboard at the entrance).
I will be requesting a refund, as we felt cheated out of the best part of £20, but more importantly, as parents we have no plans for our children to wear armbands if they can swim already, so we won't be returning unless this ridiculous new policy changes.
So, much like many others who "can be trusted", we are sorely disappointed that a brilliant local resource has been effectively ruined by a lazy, poorly thought through policy.
I do hope Better Health reconsider.

Anyone serious about playing tennis will find the courts not fit for pourpose.
On top of that they are expensive too compared to proper tennis courts that can be found in the borough.

Great gym and staff
I love the gym itself. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is good for me. However I only joined to do the classes, and I’m a bit disappointed to discover you have to cancel a class four hours prior or you receive a cancellation fee. I’ve only been joined a couple of weeks and have received two already. With work and life sometimes it is difficult for me to plan far ahead, and I think a two hour cancellation period would be sufficient before receiving a fee.

Good Afternoon Natasha,
We appreciate your feedback. It brings us great pleasure to learn of your satisfaction with your membership at the Britannia Leisure Centre and the consistently friendly and helpful service provided by our staff. We regret to hear of the two penalty charges you have incurred since becoming a member. Please be advised that these charges have been implemented to discourage the booking of activities without subsequent attendance, as our classes fill up rapidly. Should you cancel a class with less than four hours notice, a penalty fee is applied; however, the centre's staff is more than willing to waive this fee so that you may continue booking with us.
Hope this helps.

The sensory pool was introduced for people with disabilities and sensory needs. The pool is often over loaded and mostly with families and young youth without these issues. Causing sensory overload for those vulnerable. Staff not bothered by this and not sure who I can complain to about this.
