Friendly staff and swimming lessons are generally good quality while being cheaper (often considerably so!) than elsewhere.

Hi Andreia,
Thank you for your wonderful review!
We're thrilled that you’re really enjoying our gym space and that, after trying other facilities, you chose to come back to us.
We especially loved your saying, "a good son always comes back to his home", and we're honoured that we make you feel this way.
Your recommendation also means a great deal, and we can't wait to see you again!

Hi Justin,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, especially so early on in your membership.
It’s disappointing to learn that your booked Body Balance class did not go ahead as expected, and that there was no communication to inform you of the cancellation. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be told at reception that the class was running, only to find there was no instructor available.
This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback will be shared with the centre management team to review both instructor cover and communication processes to help prevent this from happening again.
We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope your future visits will be a much more positive experience.
Warm Regards,
Hazal

A couple of the instructors were not very welcoming to me as a new member, a little grumpy!

Hi Jackie,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re really glad to hear you found the reception team friendly and the facilities clean and well maintained, and that you had such a positive experience with Tatyana’s Pilates class.
We’re sorry to hear that some of the instructors didn’t feel as welcoming, especially as a new member. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with the team to help improve this.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the wait time for a gym induction. We understand how important it is to get started quickly, and we’ll review this to see where we can improve availability.
Thank you again for your honest feedback, it really helps us continue to improve our service.
Warm Regards,

almost perfect
i really like the place, basingstoke is amazing and there is a lot to do there, personally i go to the gym. the reason i haven't given it 5 stars is because i felt like especially when i first came i didn't know what i was doing or how the machines worked, or how to do exercises efficiently. i do like how each machine has a "what to do/ how this works" image, however a lot of machines do not and you have to figure it out yourself

Hi Tobias,
Thank you for your review!
We're thrilled that you've been enjoying our facilities at Basingstoke Sports Centre.
We're saddened to hear that you felt a bit lost during your first visit.
We offer gym inductions, where you have the opportunity to query and test different facilities in our gym space with a member of our team.
This sounds like it would've largely benefited you at the time, and we apologise if you were not made aware of this.
Thank you again for your feedback!

Far too expensive and poor quality equipment
Been going here for years following a knee replacement. Great at first but since price increase and other gyms opening with lower membership fees it's getting hard to justify. The only reason I am still going is the location but I am actively seeking an alternative. I am also getting increasingly fed up of the poor quality of equipment. There's only one pull type rope which is a very popular item and I'm always having to wait to use it. There used to be two. Most of the equipment is not laid straight either! Screams penny pinching to me and that's so wrong considering the sky high prices.

Hi A,
Thank you for sharing this with us!
We're currently in contact with our Management Team regarding the concerns you've raised.
Once we receive an update, we'll update our response to your review.
[Update]
Hi A,
Thank you for your patience!
We have been advised that the gym kit layout is currently the same as it was before GLL (Better) operated the Centre.
This means very minimal changes have occurred during this time.
Regarding your feedback about other companies, we’re unable to comment on their practices, as their services and offerings may differ from ours.
With a standard Membership package (the Better Health Centre agreement), you also benefit from access to a wider range of facilities, including the gym, swimming pool, fitness classes, and health suite.
We also intend to complete a £500,000 replacement of the gym kit, which will see the refurbishment of the facility across the next 6 months for our customers.
Thank you again for your feedback!
Warm Regards,
Kaisha
Swimming Lessons
My kids have been going here for about 5 years now and are still thoroughly enjoying it. Some of the classes could be a bit smaller as some seem packed in comparison to others that have only a few students. My eldest two have completed the swim school and are now enjoying the academy swim group. Their teacher Shantanu played a big part in that as well as them wanting to still swim. Whenever anyone asks about swimming lessons I always recommend Basingstoke Sports Centre.

Unfortunately
Unfortunately, there is no discount for people who receive Universal Credit, specifically low-income families. Taking part in sport is the future of the nation and promotes a healthy lifestyle, but in the current situation not everyone can afford a membership. When an entire family goes to the gym, it becomes a significant financial burden on the household budget. Thank you.
