My first time of using the pool today…
My first time of using the pool today and what can I say! The surroundings were peaceful and calming ,the garden area was beautifully maintained. Now for the pool,all I can say is wow!!!! My confidence was at rock bottom after a traumatic accident last year,that nearly ended up in losing my foot,never ever did i think I would get in a pool and start to learn to swim all over again. Already booked my next three appointments there,and I honestly can't say anymore then a beautiful pool in idyllic surroundings and beyond fantastic value for money. A little bit of heaven all tucked away in a charming remote location.
Thank you so much for allowing myself and others the use of this amazing pool.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for your heartfelt review!
It’s wonderful to know that our peaceful surroundings, the beautifully kept garden, and the pool itself created a space where you felt calm, supported, and able to rebuild your confidence.
We're saddened to hear that your traumatic experience led you to hit rock bottom last year, but we're so thrilled that your swimming journey and confidence are growing with your introduction back into the pool.
Hearing that you’ve already booked your next three sessions is the best compliment we could receive.
We’re truly honoured that the pool has become part of your recovery and that it feels like “a little bit of heaven”.
We can't wait to welcome you back soon!
Warm Regards,

Cardiac Rehab Gym Classes
Really great trainer (Alex) who provided an excellent tailored exercise programme over 8 weeks. I was wonderfully supported and encouraged and was given plenty of information and had all my questions fully answered. The course transformed both my physical and mental wellbeing and set me up for regular gym based exercise. I can't recommend the course and my trainer enough. Superb!

Increase of membership fee
I was surprised by the new charge of my membership. I would have thought Better would have first written to me to inform me of such a change and I would be given the choice to either continue or not. Whilst I was told when I first joined that it would be only a small increase, to me the increase is now quite significant as I do not receive any income nor benefits.

I was referred by my GP
I was referred by my GP. I didn't have to wait long for the initial phone call. The advisor was pleasant and checked if it was a convenient time. The gym induction was booked for the next day.
The consultant was patient and did a thorough assessment of my needs.
Then came the hard part - the gym.
I was shown certain pieces of equipment and given an opportunity to use them. I was given a tailored and detailed exercise plan and the follow up appointment was booked in advance.
I attend Forest Hill. The staff are all friendly, it's clean, all the equipment work. Cleaning sprays and cloths are available and patrons use them to maintain good hygiene.
Pleasant experience all round.
Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Swimbes is not worth the price tag
My review is for Better’s swimming course for infants ‘swimbes’. Booking the course was difficult as the website is not intuitive for locating and booking these courses. It is extremely unclear upon booking what you’re signing up to. As it turns out you have to provide 20 days notice in order to cancel the next batch of 4 lessons. The lessons themselves are fine but overpriced for what you get - half an hour of the use of a few little toys, repetitive games/songs week on week, and a generic approach to your little ones interaction in the water. There is no assessment of whether each individual baby may be ready for more progression in the water - it’s just the same sort of thing over and over again. 4 sessions are more than enough - you can just take your LO to a family swim session after this. My advice is to make sure to cancel the DD soon after you book!
To note I have no issue with the staff or pool - I think it’s Better’s website and pricing that is the main issue.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your review!
We advertise on our website that our swimbies courses are mainly for building your little one's confidence in the water.
As swimmers progress to Foundation level and above, sessions become more structured, focusing on developing key skills amongst other pupils of a similar ability.
We greatly appreciate your comments regarding the lessons' feeling repetitive and generic, and we're more than happy to raise this with the wider team for further review.
We’re also saddened to hear that you feel the lessons have not provided value for money.
Thank you for your feedback!
Warm Regards,

Brilliant and excellent support from my personal trainer Alex. The premises has wonderful facilities to support your physical health and wellbeing. Had a chance to pick on what was well suited and worked for me. I've registered with Better for more good lifestyle choices. Lost targeted weight and helped with my mental health too.

The care and attention I was shown by Alex during my cardiac rehab sessions was amazing. Communication through all points of my journey was clear and professional and nothing was ever too much. He offered reassurance when I was apprehensive and firm when I need a virtual kick up the bum. He has changed my life for the better and this arbitrary w is truly valuable and life changing for those who participate in the scheme.
