Reviews of Clapham Leisure Centre

G. R.

The pool is a good temperature and there are usually four lanes set out when I visit. The layout is good and there are enough lockers. I wish that there were more lane swimming sessions available in the late afternoon, even if it was only one or two lanes. The changing area floors could be cleaner as well.

V. N.

My go-to pool before work. I like that the lockers and changing cabins are next to the water meaning a quick escape. If swimming early in the morning, consider that two lanes are always occupied by a training session from 06:30 onwards. This can prove challenging if other swimmers are not lane 'friendly'. Still, a lovely pool.

S. 4.

Really nice swimming pool. Best in South London. Water goes over the edge and looks nice, also very warm water in showers.

M.

Went for a swim, pool is too cold. Apparently GLL have dropped temp due to rise in Utility costs...honestly I would prefer a warmer pool and a revised membership cost than swim in a cold pool with my joint problems. Pool seemed to be going green from around the middle to he deep end( very slippy). Showers were cold too( apparently waiting for a part) they have been cold for over a month now. The Gym was clean, inviting and staff were friendly. Whole building is very Covid safe and staff are very approachable and friendly. I did witness one staff member talking disrespectful to another member of staff which was a shame to see. All in all an ok visit, shame about how run down the poolside is becoming and the mannerisms of the staff member to another.

D. A.

Attended Aqua aerobics with my daughter. It was very enjoyable. The pool was clean and warm with good changing facilities. The class was taken by a firm instructor . Gym membership always a bit pricey but a great way to enhance fitness.

C. V.

Great swimming pool. Facilities are clean and no restrictions on using the general pool. 50 minute slots are available. And these need to be booked via the website. You need to bring your own swimming equipment ie floats and arm bands. There are approximately 3/4 lifeguards available. They washdown the changing room floors every 50 minutes. Overall my most favourable Better gyms that I have been to and frequent.

A. G.

Typical leisure centre vibes. The gym floor is big though, with more upstairs and a squash court. The expanded free weights section was a huge help, as it can get extremely busy.

A. A.

One of the few places that has restarted No Strings that is within reasonable commute, the courts could have a bit more grip but it's run well.

B. H.

The swimming experience is generally pleasant, very friendly and helpful staff. The environment in the changing area is not that satisfactory though, the inside of the locker and the floor seem quite dirty when I visited.

J. I. c. v. s. z. x. x.

I use this pool before work it's a good pool but can get busy.

M. D.

Love clapham leisure centre taking swimming classes Swim doctor is one of the best program

S. A. S.

Nice and clean swimming pool. Not expensive. Small bike parking. Hot showers not always available. Changing area a bit dirty. Avoid mornings as the pool is full with families. Best time is early mornings or afternoons. I have never used the gym, so cannot rate it.

s. s.

Lovely leisure centre, right off Clapham high street, easy to get to on the tube. Clean, bright, great pools. Another one run by Better for the local council. We're so lucky to have these facilities.

S. J.

Staff friendly and helpful, swimming pool changing area very clean,

S. H.

Awesome indoor pool. 25m long, set up as 3 lanes when I was there (maybe 4), divided into speeds. They’re the most Covid-safe place I’ve been to, with a one-way system throughout, lots of areas roped off, and strict rules for shower-use, exiting the building, etc. But great facilities, and will be back 👌

M.

Smaller than brixton recreation but still a great place to work out. Good range of equipment

S. F.

I like very much the swimming pool, the water has a pleasant temperature 🌡️

n. p.

Very good equipment in gym. Professional staff and good customer service. Big swimming pool. Now not so good: pool area ridiculously warm and I prefer warm pools 🤦‍♂️ maybe that is way the price is a bit high when compared with competition in that area (so they can cover the cost of heating pool area). Equipment looks clean but definitely needs update. It's quality but time for update guys.

M.

Really good app to book and lots of availability. Good changing rooms and the pool is decent. Would defo recommend it.

A. M.

Local leisure centre, all you need in one place. Good prices, different flexible times. No free parking. Be aware, as fines are very common in Clapham manor Road. Family oriented, friendly multilingual staff. Kind and understanding staff. Disabled arangements even for the pool, senior and Universal credit discount no tax credits discount option on the website. 5 min walking distance Clapham High Street.

e.

Brilliant gym, loads of natural light and well-kept equipment

F. R.

Pool was clean and warm and maintained well. Enjoyed our time with the family in the pool

E. P.

Its great at Better is a social enterprise, it has a 25m swimming pool which is a huge plus and it always feels clean. It offers lots of classes - particularly yoga and pilates which I love and unusual ones like ballet fit which is very good too. The gym is also a very good size which means less queuing for equipment! Great location, easy app and friendly staff.

H. H.

Come here to swim. Price is decent and facilities good. It's a 25m pool with lanes split by speed and staff have always been friendly. Bike parking out the front. Can't speak for the gym as I haven't used it but good choice for swimmers

B. G.

The gym is acceptable, there are a number of machines and weights. Most issues I have are due to other people in the gym not putting weights away or cleaning up after themselves which is to be expected for a gym at this cost in the area. Staff will be there if you need them but they aren't particularly welcoming. On every occasion I've visited even during very quiet times all the top half lockers are occupied which leads me to believe the staff use them. The swimming pool is fairly decent although the changing rooms and showers don't feel very clean, there is the faint smell of urine and chlorine which is off-putting. The lack of a sauna and steam room is disappointing as other Better centres in the local area have them. Overall, the leisure centre is quite average. It serves its purpose but doesn't go out of the way to make your stay a pleasurable one.

c. l.

Staff was really friendly, gym, swimming pool are good but due to the coronavirus rules, there are some changes (ie. 3 lanes available for swimming, 1 beginners, 2 intermediate, 3 advance). You can't use it during swimming lessons (from around 3pm to 6pm).

M. (.

Excellent, it's clean and the staff is nice. Plenty of space to swim, the current booking system makes it very efficient.

J. M.

Best pool in the area by far. Changing rooms and lockers are poolside and unisex, so no need to split up or have to walk a great distance to get to or from the pool. Lockers take £1 coins, which are returned when you open them again. Clean, bright and new with staff that are friendly.

N. I.

Pool is ok. Changing area can be a hit and miss - it's cleaner some days than the other. A few baby changing tables are available. (They offer good infant swimming classes too.) Staff has been always friendly and helpful.

R. C.

Hard to get through to membership team, (phone) but when you do they're very helpful. I love the gym although stuffy at times. Air con isn't powerful. It'll be great if you felt gym staff were approachable to answer questions on equipment. Great equipment, I always have a good work out. Busy in the evenings, which is expected. Membership team girls are 5*

S. S.

Centre is reasonably modern. Pool has small cubicle unisex changing rooms (which I don't like, but seems common these days) which is clean, pool itself is perfectly functional, though does get busy at peak times.

D. T.

Staff really helpful and friendly - great customer service regarding badminton court mix up. Really impressed!

T. S.

Very decent gym with good and friendly staff. Their gymnastics club is also very good. They teach and train on your child their own level and treat everyone as their individual self. The coaches are all very skilled in gymnastics and they are always friendly and transparant.

M. H.

Great place, just very hard to find a parking space

T. A.

Great place to make new friends and exercise at the same time

l. f. t. l.

I think it was quite decent for the amount of money me an my daughter paid for swimming ruffly £6.00, although the toilet area wasn't 100% clean but there was a lot of children and adults at the time. I believe everyone should at least clean up after themselves. You can't expect staff to clean up after everyone every minute of the day!!!

E.

I was brought along to Clapham leisure centre by my friend with a guest pass. I am a member of virgin active in Streatham, so decided to try out another branch to benchmark the club's. Clapham was good, spacious and the staff was friendly. I did not have to wait for any machines. Changing rooms were clean.

k. W.

Excellent but water was a little bit cold

K. S.

Very nice leisure centre. I only really use it for swimming however definatly has gym facilities. Quite basic. 2 pools. One large standard size pool and a smaller heated one for non swimmers, very shallow. Staff are very nice. Only downside would be no flumes or wave machines.

R. D.

The only really affordable gym in Clapham, in a brand new building with modern equipment and a large swimming pool. Downsides: - Despite the recent extension, the place is still very busy most times. - Some equipment is in serious need of TLC. - Cleanliness could be improved. - The "check-in" system that distribute wristbands is ridiculous (and often broken).

a. u.

All in all a good local gym, quite clean facilities. The reception is very slow and rude, I wonder why there is no management to rectify this. Equipment also breaks down frequently and they're very slow to fix things up, such as hand dryer and water fountain.

S. H.

not enough toilets. toilets are often dirty, broken or without toilet paper. The showers near the swimming pool.also need updating with more water pressure. the staff are generally very helpful.

D. M.

I enjoy swimming here early mornings

D. I.

I don't think that it's filthy. The staff make a big effort in asking you to remove footwear quite early on. My main issue lies around how busy the pool can be. Over the past four visits, the pool is split into four lanes, two of which are often in use prior to 8:30pm. This leaves one beginner lane and one, apparent, professional lane. The lanes themselves are quite thin as well so whilst swimming its not uncommon to have someones flailing arm or leg strike you. The staff should do a much better job of informing you of this prior to entry. Quite annoying to pay and then not enjoy your session. Would prefer a friendly word and opt to return an hour later.

N. M.

OK place. Good staff. Parents tend to put small kiddies in the adult pool though. So the kids pool is easy, pay while the adult pool is swamped by the under 5s and almost unusable for swimming lengths

C. C.

Great pool. Shame no shower facilities

R. K.

The pool itself is excellent but the changing area floor needs a deep clean. I've been going for years and it's steadily getting worse.

G. D.

Really nice. But the hall upstairs should have someone responsible for the floor as it collects dust quickly, causing players to slip and potentially injure themselves. We have to clean it ourselves ...as paying customers.

S. H.

Excellent customer service by all the working members, I totally recommend this place.

B. S.

Well managed for Covid distancing and booking system works very well. Cleaning regime around the pool changing facilities is better than usual (although still room for improvement) - hope they can keep this up.

D. S.

I have been going to Clapham Manor Leisure Centre since it reopened 5-6 years ago. Facilities are quite modern and well kept. Should improve the cleaning standards in the swimming pool.

S.

Good leisure centre, so much better than the Latchmere but the one way system inside can be a bit confusing at the moment

D. A.

Pretty nice leisure facilities for family swim time. Toilets could be better signposted - dozens of people wandering round the changing rooms asking where they are.

j. r.

I have been attending this gym for over 3 years and the service has always been great. Furthermore a recent upgrade to the facilities has kept it up to current standards.

L.

Great customers service & pleasant staff. Very clean at all times. Disabled friendly. Wide choice of classes & timetable. Modern installations. Overall a great place to unwind!

R. J. S. N.

Good gym, many cardio machines available, not so many resistance machines and equipment available, great functional area, overall always clean, very busy from 17h until close.

D.

Very good facilites, and the sauna and steam room are always a welcome retreat after a long hard workout, the spa area matches many gym charging triple.

N. S.

Clean, well organised, feels covid safe, and has a contained number of attendees in these days.

D. d. B. C. (.

Best swimming pool in the area and teachers

K. D.

Booked a free day pass and really enjoyed it. The receptionist was very nice and helpful. I decided to become a member and Adrey was wonderful young lady who helped me go through procedure

J. S. 1.

An amazing centre, lovely and well maintained swimming pool. Excercise area is good. Easy access, lot of public transport.

M. D.

Great clean pool but changing facilities need to be cleaned more thoroughly.

K. I.

What can I say, one of the best gyms in Clapham, modern machines, nice staff, lots of space and classes with the added bonus of a large swimming pool.

J. M.

Best swimming pool in South west London. Clean, nice staff. You can park in the Sainsbury near by.

S. S. (.

Surprising facility that has managed to cram quite a lot in for its size, still appears fairly new inside & is kept very clean. Shame the indoor court doesn’t have overlooking observer seating. The music played in the foyer/waiting area is in keeping to the south London stereotype, but this doesn’t seem to put off the office workers who flock in to work out in the window till closing. No free parking unless disabled.. it’s pay and display on the street which ends 6.30pm.

K. K.

Lovely leisure Center with nice swimming pool. The equipment need a bit of updating but apart from that, it’s lovely.

M. N.

Simple and good gym offering but almost half the price because in council subsidies. The pool is a big selling point.

E. U.

Since the refurbishment (a good few years ago) the Clapham Leisure Centre pool is really pleasant to visit (avoid peak times of course)!

D. F.

I only swim here and never have an issue. I wish they had more bike locking areas as they can fill up.

S.

Love my experience at Clapham leisure centre the pool is long fresh and not that dirty

I. T.

Went for swimming once on bank holiday Monday. I was impressed with cleanliness and kindness of the staff. Will definitely use again

S. K.

Place is clean tidy, has a good range of equipment, and my interactions with staff have been limited but pleasant.

P. T.

Swimming pool is nice and clean. Shame that one half is ridiculously shallow (1mt)

h. t.

I was okay and it has two swimming pool

K. M.

- Great class teachers- Friendly and helpful staff- Opening hours

R. B.

Been doing lessons for my kids for about 4 years now. Tge pools are ok and teaching pool is a nice temperature. Changing rooms are seriously unclean and tiles are stained a nasty browb. Showers have no power and seem to be clogged with limescale. Some reception staff and guards are pleasant and the rest have an attitude and can be plain rude. Our lesson is usually one of the last and cleaners can decide to lock your belongings in room or splash water in an attempt to begin to clean. Some great Swimming teachers but a couple who just stand about chatting during a lesson. Some teachers refusing to get into the pool when children are in desperate need to be taught properly to muster a technique. Assessment not updated accpaccordi by some. And an echo from other users...don't bother calling..no one picks up! No parking till after 8:30...6:30 on road further away. But can walk from Sainsbury's car park.

D. F.
