Reviews of Kings Hall Leisure Centre

m. v.

Polite staff. Building needs a lot of work. Little hack... Don't bother paying premium prices. You can still go to the gym by paying off peak rates and stay in the gym. Clearly not keeping tabs on peak and off peak sessions. Pool is always clean.

D. L.

This place is hanging on with its fingernails! The swimming pool and changing facility are just dire. Come on Hackney - you can do better. It's not sufficient to put lipstick on the rest of the building when the pool has scum around the edges. It's just best to keep on swimming like Dory to keep your mind off of it!!!

m. G.

I love all about it, quiet pool where you can swim with not too. Many people, never had to wait in the gym for any machine, when sauna and Turkish bath opens u will have my fifth star

F.

I am going there every day for a swim, it’s now kept very clean and the water seems to be always at the same temperature which is a sign that somebody is monitoring the water quality etc… I never had a bad surprise. The staff is very courteous, professional and helpful, it feels well managed . The place is a bit outdated but they are maintaining it and it has character!

B. O.

Wonderful place,my kids absolutely don't want to miss swimming day. Great staff service 👏 👍

v. o.

Went swimming, pool was right temp, staff very polite, facilities need an upgrade, male/female sharing shower not ideal. Changing cubicles need hooks to hang items. Life guard very alert, felt safe.

D. H.

The gymn facilities are good but the air conditioning wasn't working properly last Thursday. It wasn't a particularly hot day, but it was too muggy inside. The staff on reception seem untrained. The lockers have not been converted properly from the old pound coins and so new coins get stuck, but no-one warns you about this in advance. The lockers are fine with old pound coins, but who still has these? It's a shame because it has the makings of a great place but little quibbles make you annoyed.

P. K.

The gym is alright but can get quite busy most of the day. As I find waiting for a station to become free quite frustrating, I found that coming early in the morning or late in the evening were the only options for me. Swimming pool is rather basic and makes you think of times long gone... not at all modern and pristine

R.

It need soo much of maintenance and cleanleness.its not a great place the gym need more space and gym and toilets need so much clean and need the WiFi to be available for the members which is very poor .

I. S.

Have used this gym for a few years now and generally things are pretty good and well maintained. Centre includes 25mtr length swimming pool. This area could do with more maintenance/refurbishment. Convenient lockers for use with coin/token returned after use. Wristbands with attached keys not all in good working order which can be a bit frustrating. Static bikes could be better maintained. Used to be a set of scales in the gym which I used to use which have now disappeared - not sure why? Honestly do not have need to refer to staff but whenever I have in the past they have helped where necessary. Would like later closing times on weekends but otherwise reasonable opening times. Car park at rear of centre. Badmington courts, sauna and other studios also part of centre.

A. T.

The staff have always been friendly and helpful in my experience. The swimming facilities could do with some love and attention, but overall a good community resource.

S. A.

This gym is ok. All the equipment you need. Everyone that uses the gym is largely considerate and friendly. The pool is quieter than a lot of Hackney pools but there is a reason. It is over chlorinated and the changing rooms are so filthy it’s amazing this place is still allowed to be open. Lots of lazy parents taking their kids swimming trudging their dirty shoes and scooters through the changing room not bothering to use the free overshoes. Staff not bothering to tell them what they should be doing. A basic lack of consideration for others. The attitude of the staff prompted me to write this review. This morning I went to the gym at 8, on the way in noticing a big puddle of water in the middle of corridor. It was unmissable. On the way out, an hour or so later it was still there. Not a chance no staff had walked down that corridor in an hour. I mentioned it to the two busy having a chat at the front desk on my way out to make sure they were aware of it. The response . . . ‘well it was raining hard last night’. No . . . ‘oh thanks for telling us we’ll get it sorted before someone slips and falls’. Just a look of contempt, boredom and laziness. It’s such a shame, this place could be great, it’s just staffed by people who don’t care and seemingly used by a lot of people who see it as a free facility to mess around in without consideration for others. Sort it out Better!

k. v.

Back in the days it use to smell of urine. But now it's very clean. Provide cleaning products to keep up to covid rule very calm environment

J. M.

I have updated my review to 3/5, as the gym has been renovated and has been improved. The staff are friendly and helpful. I do agree with the other reviews though, that the bathrooms could do with some more cleaning and/or renovation. The other Hackney gym (Clissold) doesn't have this issue.

T. T. M. E. R.

I go to this gym on Dr's orders and it has revolutionised my life physically and mentally. The gym is top notch, clean with state of the art equipment to ensure a total body work out. It is mixed but don't let that put ladies off because everyone is looking at themselves in the mirror. Transportation is heavy and Hackney Central Station is a 5 minute walk away.

B. F.

Old building but kept clean by the fabulous cleaner. My children have swimming lessons here

B. B.

I love the classes, the teachers are there 10 years or more, they are very good. The only down site of King's Hall is the bed hygiene, should be cleaned more, and the whole building should use and renovate other spaces inside the building to create more space for hugly increasing Hackney Population. More studios, more Courts, have football and volleyball club there , reopen old swimming pool, expand gym bring it new equipment, fix sauna and steam room. This building has deffo 2 floors obove the ground floor , what's in the basement. Renovate, fix it, make it funcionable and enjoyable. Hackney Population deserves good standards too.

B. G.

I have always had a preference for leisure centres within grade 1 buildings over the fancy new builds. I guess it is that nostalgic scent of my school-age swimming lessons. The facilities available are a gym, swimming pool, sauna, sport activities and fitness lessons. The prices could be a little lower for what's being offered, to be honest. Another downside, hence the 4 stars is that the front of house can be a hit and miss. Sometimes lovely and other days - let's just say rather unhelpful.

J. F.

I have been a member for many years now and would recommend it to anyone. The facilities are good and have been recently upgraded and there's a nice atmosphere. I have always found the staff professional and very helpful both in the gym area, where they are available for consultation and instruction with the equipment or advice about training, and also when I have needed their support with other issues.

k. f.

I think the prices here are reasonable and I like the gym and poop area. The only reason I am taking a point off is that you have to pay a pound for the locker in the pool area that you dont get back afterwards. Toilets are sometimes not very clean as well- but other than that it is a great place!

T. B.

Needs some love and care. The gym area has an OK selection of machines/weights/cardio equipment. The staff can be aloof and unhelpful depending on who you get and the toilets manage to stink the whole place out

Q. I.

nice gym friendly staff

m. m.

The staff work hard - I found them friendly and approachable. In my experiencing, the majority are YOUTH!!! It is good to see the YOUTH working and taking responsibility in an area where opportunities are limited and the alternatives aren't great. Agree with previous review on one point, there is definitely several Health & Safety issues at this GYM which can be resolved with improved management, investment, training and organisational input!!! Therefore, 3 Stars maximum. Happy to do another review if the Health & Safety issues are taken on board and remedied AS the GYM forms part of the HACKNEY COMMUNITY.

P. W.

Tried the gym for the first time this morning, and I must say I was impressed. The receptionist was welcoming and the staff over here are way more friendlier than at Clissold. One of the fitness instructors was a semi pro boxer, shared some great exercises with me and gave great advice on my health and fitness goals. I was told the gym is going through refurbishment and new equipment is coming in, only downside I would say is the centre does not have a squat rack, bench press or boxing bag like at Clissold. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what equipment there brining in and how the centre develops in the coming weeks.

I. M.

Staff are cool and helpful, I can workout and feel reassured that they have cleaned the gym and swimming areas to a high standard.

V. F.

Surprisingly impressed! Live really close to this gym and pool, and the outside is pretty grotty, but inside is actually really nice, and staff are really friendly. Only used the pool which is a nice old classic pool, that is not too busy.

E. S.

It's not the best, gym equipment is good but gym area is small. Swimming pool is ok but not as clean as it could be and the changing room could do with a clean more frequently.

L. A.

Love this gym so much! Everything is so clean and new. Staff is nice and very helpful. It's also quite cheap. Can't see why you should not sign up today.

e. H.

Changing rooms need a new colour been that colour since I was in primary school gym needs more equipment looks more for women than guys 're analysis on joining fee as other gyms offer more for less pool is always a nice temperature on a whole a standard leisure centre

L. M.

I have found Better Kings Hall Leisure Centre to be the ideal service for my needs. It is easy to access, and the staff are always helpful and friendly. Great facility, excellent equipment, and quite sufficient for my needs.

G. B.

Free weights area a bit small but still a good gym

A. G.

We do enjoy swimming lessons here 👍

c.

Nice atmosphere clean , large area to work out , a swimming which I haven't used . friendly staff and good transport routes .

T. W.

Nice pool but it needs some care. The pool changing rooms are always wet and a bit grubby. Swimming teaching is good though - which is why I keep going back!

S. J.

Great to have this local amenity. Excellent swimming pool, if only they could get rid of the smell and make the showers work properly...

U. 7.

I go there every week and the staff and facilities are good however there is one member off staff who is around 35,tall, he wears a turban. I find him so rude he always speaks in a rude tone. He needs to fix up or there could be trouble.

K. M.

My first swimming session at kings hall was unpleasant and stressful. Though it would be fair to say, the day I was having prior to my arrival was likewise. The unpleasantness was due to an offensive odour, which assaulted my nostrils, on entry to the changing rooms. I must add that this area was indeed clean The stress was conjured with a combination of pool overcrowding and loosing three twenty pence pieces to a one twenty pence piece locker. It was at this moment that the saving grace of the whole tainted experience, came to my aid. A young pool attendant, named BRADLEY appeared beside me. Producing his very own twenty pence piece, he remarked. "Sometimes we do have problems with these lockers. What ever stress it has caused, will soon be forgotten. We'll look after you here sir." Words which seemed too mature for his teenaged face to be spouting. However this interaction soothed and calmed me and the rest of my time spent at kings hall was adequate. Thanks Bradley.

Good and friendky atmostphere. On Wednesdays they have a free class called Soca Aerobics This class is sponsered by Hackney Council and the National Loterry. You have to be a resident of Hackneycto be allowed into the class. Very popukar starts @ 10:45 - 11:45 They are one of the few Better Leisure Centres catering for the over 50s.

U. A.

I love the small area, gives a bit of privacy for shy gymnast like me

D. S.

Kings hall is a wonderful place. I know it is a very old building but the staff try hard to keep it clean and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and willing to help. I think the customers should help keep the centre open and treat it with the respect it deserves for helping the local community.

P. L.

Have used this place for years. Swam here with school and been to the gym and used their sports hall. Has had a few upgrades throughout the years. Most of the staff are very helpful, but not all.

J. T.

I have always used Kings hall leisure centre and have recently been enjoying group exercises. The gym is always well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful.

W. R.

Good leisure center in an historic building. Small cleaning issues in all changing rooms and toilets. Bus stops directly outside and car park at rear of building.

D. K.

I enjoy using the gym but the only downfall at kings hall are the changing rooms and the toilets very smelly, need some sort of ventilation to get rid of the smell

M. d. l. F.

My kind of gym, I'm only going there to train and I'm out. Not for making friends or anything like that, no make up not flashy.

L. C.

Should keep the prices the same. 50+ low prices are there mostly for us as exercise has to be included in the daily routine now.

T. n.

Old leisure centre staff were friendly. The building is a bit run down, only has communal changing rooms and showers, but the pool is full of water and you can swim in it!

P. C.

Nice warm water in the pool. Friendly staff. My favourite pool in Hackney

V. N.

Well done to the staff whos trying to maintain a good clean safe gym for us to attend..

S. A.

Additional equipment has been added, not too crowded and good vibes

L. K.

Great Lesuire Centre gym brilliant and great swimmg pool staff are always very polite and helpful

H. A.

It's an OK gym with decent facilities but not worth the membership cost, other places offer alot more for less. I go here bcz its convenient for me.

G. M.

They just answered the phone to me so that was fine. For the price i think this place is great. Local, good range of machines, bike storage. Freeweights area should be bigger - thats a bit crowded.

m. l.

Lovey but often too busy even with a membership.....yoga is sooo hard to get in to, always booked...Allegedly they prioritise members with more expensive membership ( hearsay)

P. R.

Always have a nice swim but pool needs refurbishong its very dirty with hair and all kinds of objects floating in the water , spoils a really nice experience.

B. L.

has swimming pool, steam, sauna and gym. also classes avalible. but as it's a council run facility, it's a bit dated and sometimes smelly. if you go during peak hours, you won't get a treadmill

T. i.

Very busy reception and only 1 staff member but the facility looked clean and the classes were really good.

G. C.

Used the hall for badminton, the hall was very big buy Just a bit dirty, had a quite a few drinking bottles laying around. Could do with cleaning

A. R.

Nice big air conditioned gym. The downside is the pool - in desperate need of a deep, deep clean or even total renovation.

M. H.

Staff are nice aswell as poeple in the gym they help you when you need their help only my problem is the weight machine/scale doesn't work very well

S. h. e. i. l. a. S.

Old school leisure centre that has all the facilities you’d expect but is showing its age.

J. W.

It’s ok. Good range of facilities, but the experience can be a bit lacking in customer service. It’s adhoc.

You get the most out of a gym should deliver. But needs maintenance on swimming.
