I’ve really enjoyed my experience at this gym. The atmosphere is great, the facilities are well maintained, and there’s always a welcoming and friendly environment.
A special mention to Hamza, who is always incredibly helpful and approachable. He’s always happy to assist, answer questions, and make sure members feel supported. It’s people like him who really make a difference to the overall gym experience.

The showers up stair are not ventilated…
The showers up stair are not ventilated and often feel unhygienic . Realise they are cleaned but what a mess left by members. They were far better before. There are drain flys down stairs in the changing rooms. There is not enough equipment. Infact broken machines that have been sitting with signs on for over a month. Not enough weights . Can be waiting over 15 mins whilst people hog the machines. It was far better 10 years ago. Also the toilets on the ground floor the water is boiling hot to wash hands. This is bad for the environment. There are also children on some days that need supervision for health and safety that are using the machines. Too young to be using the machines and not sure why the gym allows it.

The Better App is not fit for purpose. Booking in advance is a nightmare, the App keeps buffering, states activity is full on-line but in person is not. Better have a huge membership and really need to get the issues with the App sorted out.

Hi Caroline,
Thank you for your review!
We're experiencing intermittent issues with our system that may have affected you when trying to make a booking.
If you've tried booking on the Better UK App or the Better website without success, we'd recommend visiting your local centre if you can.
Please ensure you've tried booking when logged in and logged out of your Better account with us.
We'd like to remain posted about the issue, so email us at Customerservices@GLL.org if this persists. You can put 'FAO Kaisha' in the subject heading.

People don’t swim in the specified direction which can cause collisions, life guards could point this out to swimmers
Difficult to put clothes or anything in lockers because it’s the walk way to the pool so therefore you have to keep closing the locker to let people by, to narrow.

My daughter loves the swimming lessons
My daughter loves the swimming lessons. She says she has learned to swim without the floaters, and she is very happy.
The only minus is that the ginger biscuits in the cafe don't taste like they have much ginger inside them.

Pretty decent
Overall a good gym but - could do with another pec fly machine and much better water refill in the gym upstairs as countless times it’s not working. I also think there’s too many treadmills - the elevate room could do with being split in half, mirror putting at the other end and another free weights section with benches.

No Good
The app is very difficult to access. The other day I went to ask the receptionist at the Clisol Leisure Center some questions and they didn't treat me well. I just wanted to change my daughter's activity because she's become afraid of the pool, and the app doesn't work for me.

Clissold Better Leisure needs to get better - quickly
My experience of Clissold Better Leisure would be fair, but it is seriously compromised by an ongoing fly infestation in the women's gym changing rooms and a water supply to the showers which is often cold.

Better are a very disgusting company…
Better are a very disgusting company who sacrifice customers and employees for profit.
Constant ludicrous, wasteful renovations which generate noise and chaos, not to mention overcrowded (and therefore dangerous) classes.
Studio equipment is cheap and not fit for purpose - such as slippery, stretchy mats totally unsuitable for yoga! (One instructor suggested that members buy their own as these are dangerous!!)
The new policy of using AI music for fitness classes to avoid paying artists’ royalties is a disgrace. Instructors now lack artistic freedom and classes are dull as a result. The ‘music’ is so mind-numbing, it creates feelings veering from insanity to rage.
Very low staff morale.
All in all utterly disappointing for a local community leisure centre which calls itself a charitable enterprise - HA!

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for your review!
We appreciate your comments regarding the ongoing refurbishments at our centre and issues you've had with some of the mats in our fitness studio.
We deeply apologise for the negative impact this has had on you, as we always try to create as little disruption as possible for our members.
We’re also aware that there has been some concern and confusion about the changes to music licensing in our fitness classes from this Spring.
In late 2025 we became aware that the cost of our current music license that covers all our 250 leisure centres and gyms across the UK would increase significantly. As a charitable social enterprise focused on community benefit, we carefully reviewed our options to ensure we continue to invest our resources responsibly and sustainably.
Following this review, we asked our fitness instructors to transition to PPL pre-cleared, royalty-free music. This approach allows us to manage rising costs while continuing to deliver the high-quality classes you expect.
In practical terms, all instructors are being provided with free access to Power Music; one of the most widely used fitness music platforms. Power Music enables instructors to create their own playlists using professionally recorded studio tracks (not AI-generated), giving them flexibility while ensuring full compliance with licensing requirements.
We hope this provides reassurance and clarity about why we have made this decision, the care we have taken to engage with and support our instructors and our commitment to maintaining your class experience. As we implement these changes we will continue to monitor feedback and engage with staff and customers.
Warm Regards,
Kaisha

I use my local leisure centre a lot. The teachers are brilliant but now are unable to use their own music. Music is key to exercise and all the good instructors are leaving. No one is interested in what customers or trainers think.

I booked swimming for Tuesday May 12 at 19:30 and there wee supposed to be 3 lanes available: fast, medium,slow. However, employee in blue tee shirt closed slow lane because she wanted to swim with her acquaintances, teaching them. They didn't pay for the lane, we, the public paid. The audacity of employee in blue tee shirt, who couldn't even swim properly herself, was mindbogling.As a result I couldn't swim fast because poor slow swimmers were asked to join faster lane and squeeze with us. The fault is with general manager who allows his employee, to abuse the rules. Paying customers suffered as swimming in the evening was available for men only for 50 minutes
