Staff on site largely great Sadly, hard to book onto decent Pilates classes due to low allocation and people booking on then dropping off. I don't have time to monitor the waitlist day to day. Long-term shortage of cafe loyalty cards disappointing and does not inspire loyalty. If I can't get onto the Friday Pilates class I will probably just cancel my membership, which seems to have increased in price, and pay for the Tuesday one weekly.

Hi Deborah,
Thanks for your review.
We appreciate your feedback and wanted to clarify that we do have a penalty fee system for those customers who cancel less than four hours before their session is due to being and if they book and do not show up.
We do have a lot of popular classes and sometimes these do get booked up quickly, but we do advise customers to check back on the day as sometimes spaces do come up.
We hope you will decide to remain with us and we do appreciate your custom.
Warm Regards

I think 30 mins is too short for a swimming lesson as back 2 back sessions leads to only 20 mins of actual training. There should be some gap between the sessions so that trainers and kids get time full time.

My son has just joined the swim classes last weekend and I expected to see a feedback on his performance or the group he will belong to based on his current level, but none of that was done and we're just in limbo till date!
Same thing happened with my 2nd son when he started off in January. Sometimes, we go for weeks with zero updates.
Your feedback mechanism really needs to improve. Thanks.

Good Evening TeeA,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We sincerely apologise for the lack of communication regarding your sons' progress and group placement. We understand how important it is for parents to be informed, especially during the early stages of a program.
Your experience does not reflect the standard of service we strive to provide, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are currently reviewing our feedback process to ensure that regular and timely updates are provided to all parents moving forward.
In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to our front desk or speak directly with the head coach after class — we’d be more than happy to discuss your child’s progress and next steps in more detail.
Thank you again for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to improve.
Warm regards,
Charmaine

Pool was cold
My kid said pool was cold. He was a bit nervous as it was his first lesson in rivermead although he is not new to swimming nothing was done to encourage him. All kids are not same few have starting problem when they feel comfortable then only they will be confident.

Hi Arth,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that your child felt uncomfortable during his first lesson at Rivermead. We understand that every child is different, and it can take time for some to feel confident in a new environment. We’ll share your comments with our swim team to ensure they’re offering the right level of encouragement and support, especially for new joiners. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to make future lessons a more positive experience for your child.

Overally good leisure centre. Cleaniness is at good level. Facilities are good as well.
I wish the council would plan more of these around town as at peak times (most work day evenings) it's crowded. Would I come again, yes. Regularly!
