I would like to leave a review for Elizabeth Macdonald at Better.
The staff Better employs are brilliant, and Elizabeth Macdonald is a fantastic example of a caring and dedicated member of staff who consistently goes above and beyond to help customers.
Elizabeth genuinely makes you want to stay at the club, and she reminds you just how important excellent customer service is. She is a huge credit to your business.
She could not have been more helpful, particularly when I was dealing with the dreadful parking charges. She took the time to help me throughout the whole process and made sure everything was sorted.
People like Elizabeth make a real difference to the customer experience. She is an absolute asset to Better, and I really wanted to take the time to recognise her for the fantastic service and support she provides. Payrise incoming!!!

Good and bad - mostly good
The staff are lovely and friendly, the memberships are varied and good value.
Unfortunately, the whole place needs a really good clean and some freshening up. It looks like it has barely been cleaned or painted since I came here as a child in the 1990s.
However, it's been like that since long before better took over, so they can't be entirely to blame.
Also, it would be helpful if the cafe opened a little earlier for people who come to use the gym before work and want to grab a coffee on their way out :)
But all in all, the experience fits the price point and I'll keep coming.

WARNING - Private Parking Company
I have been coming to this swimming pool for at least 35 years. Im aware that its not been too easy for them recently. When you do get to swim, its honestly a brilliant swimming pool, its clean, and its good to see its still open.
HOWEVER
I do not appreciate the attitude of management at this center when I appeal a private parking notice - which they have the ability (as land owner ) to over turn. I was parked for 17 minutes in their car park - I to this day did not see the signage in the car park that said you had to pay. The barriers were up (not removed) - I assumed they were not working as you always used to buy a token from reception.
We were unable to swim due to poor communication via their call center and drive albeit 20mins from where we live. To top this off the website was still taking bookings, and members of the public were still being let in because they had booked on line. So i thought I would do the same as their booking system still had over a hundred spaces left!!
Its a complete farse, disappointed and will be taking my PCN further with Gemini Solutions and the Landowner.
Its not the fact I wouldn’t recommend the pool -I would - but sadly if there are problems you are pretty much on your own, and they stick to the rules and hide behind the fact that they use a private parking company. - Such a shame, hopefully it will survive.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.
We appreciate your long-standing support of the centre and are glad to hear you value the pool itself.
We understand your concerns regarding the parking charge and the communication around access and bookings, as this must have been frustrating. We operate the centre on behalf of the council and do not operate the car park. We are not the Landowners. Any appeals should be sent directly to Gemini.
Your comments will be shared with the relevant team for review.
Warm regards,
Hazal

Changing rooms need deep clean and needs to be refurbished, look up and the grime is awful, then you go in the sauna and steam room, steam room had pooh splatters on the floor, probably from the drains.
Imagine what we are actually swimming in... and to add they had a worker go around the pool with a stick picking up the lumps at the bottom..... maybe invest in a cleaning under water machine and use when swimmers are not in the pool.
The Jacuzzi needs a new pump, no bubbles and freezing cold. BetterGym, change the pumps, clean it up and refurb the pools and changing areas.

Hi Nagina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very sorry to hear about your recent experience, as the standards you describe are not acceptable and do not reflect the level of cleanliness and maintenance we aim to provide. We understand how concerning this must have been.
Your comments regarding the condition of the changing areas, sauna and steam room, as well as the pool environment and equipment, have been noted. Maintaining high standards of hygiene and ensuring all equipment is functioning correctly are key priorities, and your feedback will be escalated to the management team for urgent review and action.
We also appreciate your suggestion regarding pool cleaning methods, and this will be passed on to the relevant team for consideration as part of ongoing improvements.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention.
Warm regards,
Hazal

Hello,
Hello,
I would like to make a complaint about my experience today at reception at The Sovereign Centre.
I came with my 8-year-old daughter to buy swimming tickets. The young receptionist told me I was required to buy two tickets, then changed what she was saying and became difficult with me. She also asked whether I had a swimsuit. At first I misunderstood the question and answered incorrectly, but then I clarified that of course I had a swimsuit.
After that, she refused to sell us tickets because she said I was giving different answers. I felt embarrassed, uncomfortable, and unfairly treated. I was simply trying to bring my child swimming and I do not feel the situation was handled professionally or respectfully.
I would appreciate this being looked into.
Thank you.
