Reviews of Fairwater Leisure Centre
C. H.I've used the pool a few times and have signed up for the gym which I'm starting on Monday, everything is nice in there, on site parking and even a skate ramp outside.
A. J.Friendly staff, is my local leisure centre, I love the gym and my circuits class on Fridays here. The only downside is trying to enter the gym using the app, was much better and easier when they used the facial recognition camera.
N. E.The staff are friendly. The pool water was quite cold when i got in for a swim. Not too cold though. The swimming facilities were excellent. All very clean. A lovely place to visit 😊
J. P.Had our grandsons 3rd birthday here 16.4.22 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Staff were brilliant, very polite and helpful with smiles on their faces, pleasure to see.
K. S.Staff are great, facilities fantastic and great value for money
D. S.All staff very friendly, helpfull. Centre clean and tidy, worth a visit👍
L. M.Alway clean, staff are helpful and welcoming and children's lessons, activities and party's are amazing.
M. W.Usually not too busy. Have a good range of cardio and weighted machines. Could do with another squat rack and some free space for stretching. Also the toilet is awkward to get to from the gym. Have no used any other facilities.
B. W.The friendly staff at Fairwater Leisure Centre have worked very hard to ensure the Changing Rooms are back in use before and after using the pool. All the staff, at Reception and Poolside, make people of all ages welcome. Many people with long-term health conditions rely on this pool to help manage and maintain stability and mobility, because of its depth and temperature, as well as the support and good humour of the staff, for which we are very grateful.
P. H.Excellent our little ones enjoyed themselves the hole time we were there
D. H.Excellent. The lady on the desk was superb and very friendly. The place was nice and clean. We had an hour spot for free swimming. Wasn’t busy and was all well organised.
A. C.Fantastic customer oriented staff who were only to happy to help. Changing rooms are pristine. Pool lovely temp for a lane swim.
D. W.10 year old daughter restarting swimming lessons. Staff were friendly and informative. Covid security was good, but it was chilly waiting outside during the lesson, then again waiting in the squash court at collecting time. My daughter was reluctant going in, but is already asking about next week, so that's a win.
D. J.I like it, but it could do with more racks and benches.
D. M.Local, friendly staff. Very inexpensive facilities but well maintained. My two sons come here every week for swimming and are making good progress. They enjoy the instructors who have a good rapport with the children.
C. C.Staff great but obviously expected to do more with less of them on shift.
Definitely not "Better" under new management who have stopped kids membership giving full access to lessons - they should've put price up instead of putting financial barriers in the way of encouraging kids to be active and healthy.
The kids Gymnastics classes used to be packed, not anymore.
*Review edited & given extra star after upgrade work being completed.
A. T.Very well organised on the whole. Ladies only shower available is cold takes 10 minutes to get warm. Covid systems working well. No pool on Sundays for competent swimmers just for families.
J. C.Excellent facilities. Classes are good, and staff are friendly and helpful.
M. H.Have to get the better app first and have to obtain membership. I am going to the pool for physiotherapy. Very well organised and good social distancing and sanitizing. Feel safe there.
R. R.Lovely staff and really enjoyed swimming, 1st time in 16 years but to my surprise.....I really loved.
B. L.Staff are friendly and helpful but the prices are ridiculous. I'm trying to encourage my 9 year old son to play Badminton but at £12.50 (peak) and £10.50 (off peak), I certainly can't afford to do it on a regular basis. It is twice the price of leisure centres in other unitary authorities such as Caerphilly.
D. A.Lovely people, easy to use even with Covid and excellent facilities. Well done everyone involved!
d. b.Step class to cramped.... Needs to go back into the main hall. Am concudeting cancelling my membership due to this problem. Whey are "Better" making these changes, ladies morning used to be a place to meet and catch up with friends, but not anymore, because in their wisdom they have decided to stop the creche, which was part of "ladies morning" facilities, which we signed up for, so maybe contracts have been broken!!! We still have to pay the same money monthly, but fewer classes and facilities in place now!!!!
S. N.I mainly use the gym - it's very small but luckily rarely busy but if there's more than half a dozen people it's pretty packed. The equipment is fairly limited and dumbbells only up to 30kg but otherwise it's fine.
B. B.Gym's OK - could do with a Smith's machine.
M. P.Great public fitness facility. I've been attending spin classes for the last 8 months. Bikes are great, instructors really get you motivated and booking online is simple.
J.Newly refurbished gym (as of December 2018) is very well equipped. Membership is reasonable value. Staff are friendly and helpful.
R. D.The facilities are very outdated, but the staff seem fairly helpful and responsible. I prefer getting a bus to one of the leisure centres with a less ancient pool, but if you're looking for somewhere nearby and affordable to exercise maybe give it a go *shrug*.
C. D.Used the grounds for dog walking... always kept clean under duffucujt circumstances as teenagers leave a dreadful mess every night... really lovely place..
J. F.Great leisure centre. Lovely facilities and staff are fab 😎
A. T.I am learning to swim, under the guidance of Linda who is assisted at Fairwater by Justin. Linda encourages me to go to Fairwater, as (agreeably) the more I can get in the pool, the more confidence I gain. Therefore I travel from Llanishen to get more practice.
I am over 50 and usually tell the receptionist this, however I am surprised and a little disappointed that each time i have visited Fairwater leisure centre, I have paid different admission fees each time. The latest sum being £7 when I visited on 02/07.
I queried the amount with the receptionist and she assured me that it was the correct amount, Why is it only £2.89/£3.00 in Llanishen and Maindy? yet a whopping £7 in Fairwater please?
That said, I would like to thank Justin and Linda, they have both been brilliant in giving me confidence in the pool, and I am delighted with the progress I have made since being under their tuition. Thanks to them both, they are brilliant, and extremely patient.
C. J.Good main hall which is all I use (for badminton). Could do with staff doing the rounds of the changing rooms to ensure standard of cleanliness is maintained.
a. O. D. w.Lauren Crawford I go swimming to this very soft Leisure Centre my name is ok ok.
K. C.Fab centre all staff are amazing & very helpful the fitness classes are brilliant as are the instructors.
D. M.The facilities are great and the staff are always on hand to help with anything. Good for playing badminton and nice facilities are available.
K. S.Love that they have facial recognition on entry to the gym. The weight area is a little small but also pretty quiet..
M. Z.========== UPDATED ==========
Massive Changes Taken place, Especially in the weight room.

A. M.Good service and convenient parking. Generally quite, which is nice. Squash courts are OK but could use a bit of work.
m. j.It's not the most fancy place in the world but the equipment is in good condition and the pool and courts are kept clean. It's a very solid leasiure centre
R. S.The classes are excellent, gym is much better now it's been expanded, the pool and changing rooms need updating.

H. D.The staff here are amazing. Love the new refurbishment. Always loads to do and this center caters for everyone.
J. J.Good place to train. Pool temperature could be a bit warmer. Staff friendly and helpful
L. C. H.You standard leisure centre, watch for the yobo kids on bikes at the skatepark, they have the tendancy to ride Infront of you and not care
n. c.Now that the local Labour Council have sold it to a private company (privatisation) its run much better than when they ran it 👍
R. C.Good and friendly leisure centre for all ages.
P. R.I like the gym, but the water is really cold. Pool water is not warm and the changing rooms are a bit dirty.
