Went to the swimming pool today with my…
Went to the swimming pool today with my sister and our kids. My sister went into the pool with our kids and is not my sister's first time going there. I did not go into the pool, and one of the staffs came up to me and said in a very rude manner that, 'I was messing with his count'. I was shocked 😲, especially the manner in which he spoke to me very rudely and continued to be rude to me. And when I spoke to Olivia who is the deputy manager, she was very rude to me as well and when I tried to explain my experience to her, she said oh we have policy. I was like I am not talking about policy but the way your staff spoke to me to my surprise she rolled her eyes at me and said whatever and walked away. For my first time going there my experience was horrible and the staffs in the swimming area where not good at all. And none of them have Id badges. Only the Olivia who said she is deputy manager that had a name badge on. Very rude staffs with no customer service etiquette. Will never recommend the Hackney branch

Hi Hulayatu,
Thank you for your review!
We are very sorry to hear about your experience during your visit, particularly regarding the interaction you had with one of our team members.
We take all feedback regarding customer service seriously, and it is concerning to hear that you felt spoken to rudely despite trying to raise your concerns.
While our staff are required to follow operational and safety policies, this should always be communicated with professionalism.
We'll be sharing your comments as feedback for the team, and to fully understand the situation, to note where we went wrong.
Thank you again for raising this!
Warm Regards,

Need SEND training
The staff do not seem to be trained on SEND. My son and his friend were treated appallingly. Total lack of understanding apart from Tommy, who helped us out.

Hi Claire,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, and we sincerely apologise for the way your son and his friend were treated.
We understand how important it is for all customers, especially those with additional needs, to feel supported, respected, and included. The situation you’ve described is extremely concerning and not the standard of care we aim to provide.
We do appreciate you highlighting Tommy’s support, and we’ll make sure your positive feedback is shared with him. At the same time, your wider concerns regarding staff awareness and training around SEND will be taken seriously and passed to the management team for urgent review.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Fined for my son being ill.
Booked swimming for my son and I, and paid in advance. My son woke up with a cold so we couldn't go, and I did the responsible thing and cancelled via the portal. I wasn't expecting a refund, but I wasn't expecting to be charged a £3/ticket (£6 total) "no-show" fee.
I shouldn't be fined due to my son being ill.

Hi Julien,
Thank you for your review!
We're more than happy to review a penalty fee for illness or mitigating circumstances, as we appreciate that our members cannot always cancel in line with our booking policies.
This fee is automatically awarded, so it's not something we can prevent from being applied beforehand.
We can investigate this further if needed. Please contact us at:

The gym is always so dusty and dirty, no one cleans around the weights machines or under. People will breathe the dust while exercising. Some machines are broken for months. Water fountain in the gym is broken for months. Thank you

Menopause Strenght - Women
I recently tried Winta’s Menopause for Women class and really enjoyed. At the moment, they all seem to be in the morning, which makes it really difficult for those of us who work during the day. More evening classes for women’s strength, wellness and menopause support would make such a huge difference!

Nicole is great!
Better is a nation-wide chain of health centres (eg. gym, swimming pool etc) that serves local communities in the respective areas.
I rang up the Better Gym Hackney/East London helpline recently and just want to commend and thank Nicole for a job well done!
She was most empathic and understanding that my daughter is too unwell to attend her upcoming swimming class. Thus I'm most impressed to how Nicole was professional, friendly and effective over the phone. Fixed my problem, and did so in a way that reassured me that all would be well.
Well done Nicole! Job well done!

No refund, no accountability, terrible service
Extremely poor service, lack of accountability and no refund
My son attended Kings Hall for 7 years. The centre was then closed and he was reassigned to a centre that was too far for us to reasonably travel to. We then tried Britannia, but the experience there was very disappointing — the classes were overbooked, uninspiring, and my son no longer wanted to attend.
I called to cancel the membership and was advised by a staff member on the phone to cancel the direct debit. After doing so, the centre then refused entry to my son, despite still holding two months’ payment in advance on his account.
What followed was extremely frustrating: over 25 calls chasing a refund, with repeated promises that a manager would call me back and that a refund request would be processed. Two months later, nothing has been refunded and there has been no proper resolution.
This company shows very poor management, a lack of accountability, and unprofessional customer service. Their main focus appears to be retaining money rather than resolving issues fairly.
I would not recommend this organisation based on my experience.

Hi Mika,
Thank you for your feedback!
When a customer cancels their Direct Debit agreement through the Bank, this cancels the lessons with immediate effect.
We always advise against this if you still wish to attend your lessons, and prompt members to cancel at the end of their agreement.
If your payment was taken before you cancelled your Direct Debit agreement, we're happy to look into reactivating the lessons in line with this.
However, we wouldn't offer a refund of your Month In Hand fee, as this is a non-refundable payment that members make when they register.
Regarding our communication, we're saddened to know that we may have fallen short in this department, and you felt like we offered no proper resolution.
If you'd like to discuss the above further, please contact us at customer services and put 'FAO Kaisha' in the subject line.
Our email address is: customerservices@gll.org
We look forward to your response!

The venues are all so clean and the staff are always so helpful the equipment is first class sometimes some aren’t working but that’s because of the frequent usage.

Dan is amazing!
I just wanted to leave a review to say how impressed I was with the service I received from Dan this evening. I was having trouble booking tennis courts, but he jumped in to help right away. In fact , what really stood out was that when our call accidentally dropped, he actually called me back to make sure everything got sorted. That level of care and determination is rare these days, I tell you.
Dan was patient, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me even when my schedule wouldn’t allow me to rebook anyway. Thanks to him, my night got way better. Honestly, customer service like this makes such a difference. Huge thanks, Dan!
