It was a wonderful experience. However a 30 minute lesson has limited time for practice. I suggest at least 45 minutes duration makes a lot of sense and will be value for money

Back again to talk about how useless…

Back again to talk about how useless this company are.

Have the audacity to make you upload child’s disability information to your own and your child’s account - and make it difficult by not accepting information sent.
Please be aware they do not inform you that you are entitled to a reduced price if your child has a disability- found this out by chance after paying full price. Disgraceful.
Still have not rectified the issues with my account making this even more difficult.
Appalling treatment of disabled people and their carers. I would say the worst treatment I have ever faced with a disabled child.

The costs to purchase a membership are through the roof compared to other centres in Gateshead - highly recommend looking at Gateshead leisure centre.
The only redeeming feature is the excellent quality teacher however he was there prior to the “better” take over.
Save your money, visit one of the non better centres in Gateshead, especially if you are a carer to a child with a disability.

Good Afternoon Hilary,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've faced and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

We understand how important it is for families—especially those caring for children with disabilities—to receive clear communication, fair treatment, and accessible support. We sincerely apologise if the process for uploading documentation or accessing the appropriate pricing options was unclear or frustrating. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have.

Your feedback highlights areas where we clearly need to improve, particularly in making our systems more user-friendly and ensuring all eligibility information is made visible and easily accessible. We’re currently reviewing our processes to prevent similar issues from happening in the future.

We’re also sorry to hear that your account issues have yet to be resolved. If you're willing, we’d like to speak with you directly so we can assist further and ensure your concerns are properly addressed. Please reach out to us at customerservices@gll.org so we can help.

We’re pleased to hear your kind words about the quality of the teaching—that’s something we are proud of, and we’ll make sure your feedback reaches the instructor.

Thank you again for your honest review. It’s only through feedback like yours that we can do better.

Warm regards,

Charmaine

A great first swimming lesson

The teacher was really friendly. The facilties were clean.
It was a little busy with swim clubs, but the small pool was quiet where the lesson took place.

Nothing “better” about this take over

Failing to see what’s “better” about the company.
Stopped free swimming and gym for disabled members and family. Absolute nightmare trying to get my card sorted (they claim they have made 2 accounts with my email address - why?)
Had us waiting thirty minutes while trying to get this mess sorted with a 2 year old 8 year old and ten year old.
Having us organise proof of disability through a max card to be told it should be emailed through while I was at the centre.
Plenty of other leisure centers around Gateshead, may be time to move

Can’t book gym slot

Since better took over the gym, there are no time slots available. Impossible to book. Complete waste of money paying for the membership.

Not a smooth transition from a previous provider

Transition from another provider to better has been appalling. Portal show 0% progress after a recent assessment the previous week where certificates and batches were given out. The previous providers portal shows close to 100% yet better displays 0% on thier own portal with no assessment done. Adult membership ID not sent over as well. It's been stressful. But Better was very quick to set-up direct debits to collect money more than 3 weeks earlier.

We truly appreciate your patience and will ensure that this is addressed as quickly as possible. We also understand your concerns regarding the direct debit, and we’ll make sure everything aligns with the timing that suits you.

Please don't hesitate to reach out directly if you'd like further updates or assistance—your satisfaction is very important to us.
