C. N.

Great gym. I have been going for over a year now and the staff are very friendly, the equipment is good, and there is usually a good number of people in the gym so you're not waiting on equipment. Only reason it is not 5 star is that the female changing room gets very hot and steamy when someone uses the shower in there because there is no ventilation. The toilets also could do with more frequent cleaning.

K. M.

The pool itself is nice, good temperature, usually not too crowded in the mornings. The changing rooms are a bit meh though. There is no cleaning between sessions so even at 8am (the second session of the day) the floors are wet and slippy, it would take about 5 minutes to just mop the excess water and make it less like a death trap. I’ve used the showers once (I now wait until I get home) and it was again a bit gross, as the filter bits were clogged with hair and you end up with clumps around your feet. The pool was closed last summer for several weeks for refurbishment so I was surprised to see that the ceiling paint at the entrance the pool next to the showers is peeling off and bare plaster exposed already. There aren’t any of the machines that you put your swim wear in for 20 seconds to dry them - maybe another reason it’s so wet everywhere? The hair dryers aren’t worth bothering with unless you have short hair, it would seriously take me half an hour to get my hair halfway to dry with them. The lockers for the pool take a £1 coin (returnable) the lockers for the gym don’t lock - you need to bring your own padlock or just leave your stuff at risk. The gym has a good range of equipment, good aircon and plenty of paper towels and antibacterial spray to clean stuff down with.

Used this pool as a kid and teenager. Always found way too much chlorine in the pool. Everytime you came out you had red eyes.

K. G.

Good prices, nice facility, terrible technology. Their computers are always down, and website is typically not providing correct info.

S. D.

Centre itself is good, clean spacious. The main problem is parking which is expensive being oxford. OK for an hour or two maybe but excessive if you stay over 4 hours. Fine for locals maybe but other sports centres give free parking for users.

A. L.

Clean, inexpensive Leisure facility. Friendly and helpful staff. Great for kids. Showers in swimming changing room aren't great though.

A. L.

Swimming ok for little ones but showers not in use so hygiene?

C. c.

Decent facilities with a very well equipped gym and a big pool. I've only been going for the last month but it never seems too crowded and I have had zero problems getting on any machine I need but I can't complain really as my discount scheme means I only pay £20 for unlimited use of the the pool and gym for a whole year! Fyi, you will not get membership this cheap so don't even ask (although you're welcome to be jealous of course!)

J. S.

Great place for Kids... Swim lessons Are fantastic

L. w.

It would be 5 star swimming pool if only... - closed / more private showers so I can actually take off the chlorine - the changing facility is clearly old and, honestly, as clean as it could be: the floor gets flooded easily as it is not made for draining any water and the staff is constantly removing water - I get the leisure centre happens to own a good parking spot for Summertown, but surely there is a way for members to not pay for, let's say, the first couple of hours or something like that? Besides that the pool is alright and the staff is friendly and helpful. I have not used the gym and courts but they seem the best of all fusion lifestyle owned facilities in Oxford!

S. P.

An acceptable gym, lots of shiny kit, less emphasis on clients' needs. Focus on gym work for body shaping rather than for health across the age demographic. Swimming pool needs to be kept cleaner, though the issues of hygiene arise in the users' behaviours rather than staff's actions.

A. L.

Very nice facilites, most staff are very nice. Weird smell in the swimming pool changing rooms though, but very clean swimming pool. Nice new gym equipment, but I've never seen anyone actually cleaning the equipment.

M. W.

This is a nice gym, convenient if you live in Summertown and want a gym but don't want to pay for the more expensive Nuffield gym. I can't comment on the pool as I've never used it, but the gym is well-equipped.

R. B.

Much better now the new gym equipment has been installed (writing Augus 2016). Gym is now excellent and never seems too busy. Squash, badminton and pool facilities are fine, and staff always very friendly.

I. M. T.

300k upgrade and wow its so nice .. staff are present and helpful By far the best gym I have been so far. Took advantage of their free one day pass and literally not looked back since. Bye-bye to all other gyms

L. A. o.

Great gym, very friendly staff, excellent squash courts and squash ladder nice easy to use app too! Swimming pool ideal to take my kid there very fun, all round great facilities.

J. T.

Children's swim instructors are really nice, cafe needs a lot more seating to accommodate families during swim school and there are a lot of broken lockers in the swim changing rooms, otherwise not bad.

C. P.

Decent gym, I don't know why everyone wants to complain. Facilities are great, staff are friendly.

a. H.

Convenient place to go with a good choice of activities, friendly staff and good fitness teacher.But the gym equipment are often dirty, the spinning bikes not we'll maintained and the class room is not a fitness classroom.

K. K.

Showers and changing room in swimming pool should be more clean,very dirty. Facilities in gym should be cleaned daily,found them dirty as well.Overpriced.The car parking-should be free.

M. E.

We only really use the swimming pool. Check the times of the sessions before you come as they will let you pay and enter the pool and then ask you to leave five minutes later if the session is about to end (crazy really) but apart from that it's a nice, clean place

C. W.

Decent swimming pool, but not the cleanest. I prefer Kidlington. The changing rooms are a bit grotty and you have to wear overshoes or go barefoot.

K. (.

It's good for family. The gym is good for any age but it is not the newest equipment. The swimming pool is good and staff are very friendly

J. A.

Well maintained community centre with lots of activities. I belong to a "Tuneless" choir which meets on a Wednesday evening, great fun. They also have meditation, martial arts and zumba to name a few.

l. b.

Council run gym/pool/squash courts. Not bad by any stretch but not top of the line. Good value and solidly adequate in every regard.

t. H.

The center is excellent it is open for the public it is very good size for swimming and gym

W. G.

Been using this pool and facility all my life. Its OK the pool could use an update and the staff are mainly young and not that interested.

K. S.

Good start coming back from the extended Lockdown closure. Floors in the wet changing are unreasonably cold.

R. A.

Just called from the US to enquire about 2 week guest pass. Staff were very polite and very helpful. I'm looking forward to my stay and use of the facilities.

a. w.

I fing ferry Rd gym great...easy access to all equipment, friendly gym goers and staff, go about my exercises without feeling analysed or judged...like the short term contracts as I am often away for a month or two ,so short term is good for me ..
