Poor hygiene, no refund
I'd paid a few visits to the City Baths before and generally had had a great time, but since it came under new management, I found things have really changed for the worse: the cold bucket was full of lukewarm water and made a loud noise when it was pulled, the water tap next to the saunas didn't work at all, cups had been put out but there was no drink available,and when I tried getting to the pool, the corridor was dirty, with plaster debris and dead wasps on the floor.
Although I'd been told the way to the pool when I checked in, the pool was closed. I kept going to check when and whether it would open, but there was nobody around to ask, and in the end I decided to leave more than an hour early.
I contacted management right away and after several attempts, I did get an answer with some explanations and the offer of a free session. Given that I don't live local to Newcastle, and given that the price of the pool is included in admission but the pool had been closed, I requested a refund instead. This was declined on the basis that the pool was closed for unforeseen reasons. I'm not sure why this means I couldn't be refunded. I followed this up a number of times but they stopped replying, and I never received a refund.
Overall I found the standard of hygiene really poor, and I'll be raising a complaint with the City Council.
Update 16/10 - I had an exchange of emails with Better that led to them sending me to their refund form, where I entered my bank details. Instead of issuing a refund, they've given me credit to my account as a 'goodwill gesture'. I've asked a two further times if I could receive a refund instead and had no response so far.

Appalling
Appalling, have took over my local gym and price has effectively gone up as classes no longer included in my membership. Furthermore the gym was already overpriced as it was so now it's worse. Also more a nuisance to sign in each time. No investment into gym at all.

Hello Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and we are extremely sorry to read your comments.
We understand that you are unhappy that classes are not included in your membership and would require an additional monthly charge. Members are required to sign in so that we can monitor attendance and know who is in the building for Health and Safety reasons.
We will pass your comments on to Newcastle City Baths, and once again, we are very sorry that you are unhappy with the new arrangements since we took over.
Kind regards,
Shirley

Newcastle City Baths is not always clean
Newcastle City Baths is not always as clean as it should be. I think more attention needs to be given to hygiene and the cleanliness of the toilets and swimming pool areas.
In addition, when the sauna is out of service, it often remains closed for an extended period before being repaired, which negatively impacts members' overall experience. Members are also not provided with clear or confirmed information about when the sauna is expected to reopen. It would be helpful to provide regular updates and advance notification when the sauna is out of service, so members can plan their visits accordingly and have clearer expectations.

Hi Habiba,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about Newcastle City Baths.
We’re sorry to hear that cleanliness has not consistently met expectations during your visits. Maintaining high standards of hygiene across all areas, including the toilets and swimming pool surroundings, is extremely important to us, and your comments will be shared with the team so this can be reviewed and improved following on from the transfer of the centre to us on the 1st of July.
We also understand how frustrating it can be when facilities such as the sauna are out of service for extended periods. We appreciate your feedback regarding clearer communication, and we agree that providing regular updates and clearer timelines would help members plan their visits more effectively. This is something that can be found by visiting the alerts page on the centres homepage:
