CLC Health & Fitness Centre

Facilities a 10 BUT:

Public access is limited during term (not a problem as long as you’re aware)

Class booking is a disaster. All via phone or in person. They refuse to book classes via email. They never answer the phone, which is odd as there are generally 2-4 of them in reception. Any chance of online booking?

Absolutely fabulous facility, staff very friendly and attentive.
Centre is kept spotless most of the time, with a few exceptions which is understandable considering the facilities are used all day every day by CLC pupils/members of the public.
Timetables are very clear and easy to understand, with a very fair amount of usage given to members despite the centre being part of the school. Timetables do change termly but there is always plenty of notice given to all members.
The price of membership is overly reasonable compared to other gym/leisure facilities in the area, I pay £46.00 per month for my single membership but there are concessionary rates (student, OAP etc). The membership gives me access to all facilities in the centre including the gorgeous 25m pool, gym areas, classes, sports halls and courts. Understandably there is limited usage for these facilities during the week as of course the CLC pupils are using them for lessons - however this is is to be expected when signing up for a membership for a facility that is part of a school. If you want somewhere that you can visit at all times of the day common sense would suggest signing up at a 24 hour gym rather than a facility that is part of a school.
Staff always professional and happy to help - lifeguards are very friendly and step in where needed.
Overall a lovely facility, and I absolutely love visiting. I have never had a bad experience so unsure what other negative reviews are referring to...some very negative people in society these days...but you can't please everyone!

Facilities are very good other than the lack of racks and ceiling height in the gym (can’t boxjump or overhead press at all)
But where this facility earns its rating it the rudeness and incompetency of all of its staff and there lack of common sense, i have seen 5 members of staff come to the sports hall one by one to put a basketball hoop up to the correct height after it broke for reliability issues just for the young girl to do it herself. Also good luck trying to book anything they ignore most calls that come in so it takes a good 30 minutes of successive calls to eventually book a court just for them to say it’s all booked up by people (that never turn up anyway cause they don’t have a no show fee in place)
In summary this is an absolute con and joke of a place avoid at all costs for your own mental health!!!!

I have to plan my whole day according to the schedule of the fitness (opening and closing times) which changes every 4 weeks😩
And PLEASSEEE STAIRMASTER!!!!
I don't know one gym that doesn't have stairmaster.....
And couple of more equipments that they REALLY should add to their gym, please consider to update and upgrade!!
And at 2022 who needs a coin for lockers??
At least keep a box with 20p coins in so everyone can use it, don't think anyone would steal!

Nice staff. Facilities are new. Function room are big. Classes are convenient.

Very good sports facility with hockey pitches, lacrosse, netball and a huge indoor hall for multi sports. Very impressive facility!

Very well run gym and the pool and changing facilities are very good .

I am very pleased with the fitness centre. Always clean, lots of machines, huge sports halls, three weight lifting gyms, Olympic dimensions pool, spacious changing rooms and kind staff! I can’t ask for anything more.
