Downham Health and Leisure Centre Swim Pool Drowning in incompetence
I would have given less than one star if there was that option DOWNHAM HEALTH AND LEISURE CENTRE Swimming pool What can I say Cancellations whilst you are already in the pool twice last week without a phone call Pool closed on Monday again no phone call although they apparently managed to phone the swim schools lucky them Arrived today and guess what YES my session is cancelled again with no call I have emailed twice with a complaint the 1st when their website was down at the latter part of last year beginning of this year when I was unable to book any sessions and the 2nd complaint last week No emails back but why would I expect that at this stage if myself and the other lane swimmers don t warrant even a simple call I will say they are more than happy to take the monthly payments yet the members are treated appallingly In this day an age a generic message sent to the members on the app would be very helpful and would stop us wasting our time Update 11 03 2024 THE REPLY WAS A LOAD OF FLANNEL ANOTHER CANCELLED SESSION TODAY WHEN I WAS ALREADY IN THE POOL That s the 5th in three weeks and only one of these was because of the pool water

Cancelling a membership is a struggle
Cancelling a membership is a bit of a mare - at the outset they offer a flexible membership 45 m with one month advance notice to terminate or 39 50 m for 12 months locked in for 12 months at a time Joining is a breeze and can be sorted in minutes at the front desk and the membership is practically instant here s your card Now try terminating as I needed to following the need to undergo an operation that will take me out of any training for about 10 to 12 weeks Front desk can t deal with terminations - that s a head office function Good luck getting through When I did speak to a member of staff I was offered a deal whereby I could suspend my membership for up to 6 months and that would cost me 5 m Here s the kicker - to have that deal I d get nothing other than I can then take up my place as a full member when needed But seeing as they are for ever fishing for new members therefore no waiting list that makes no sense at all After a bit of to and fro my membership will end 30 April 2024 - having read another review where someone else was getting out they complained that after their membership had ended the firm running this stuff still took money via a Direct Debit - I told them that I was not going to run that risk and would in advance of the end date kill off my Direct Debit - get this - in doing that I have now done that I ve been advised that it could mean their system might overwrite the termination thus my membership wouldn t end To which I replied should your system throws a hissy fit and overrule the cancellation then good luck getting any money out of me that won t happen It really ought to be easier

Ridiculous policy at Irlam and Cadishead Leisure Centre
We have booked a badminton court for one hour with membership paid for an hour extension since we are playing for more than 1 hour we have 8 people taking turns so when 4 are playing badminton 4 can have a rest to recover When we walked pass the entrance there was a male staff restricting us saying only 4 people are allowed to go into the badminton court area the other 4 will have to stay in cafeteria and wait It is just nonsense of how inflexible this policy is we ended up paying for an extra court in the 2nd hour During the game we noticed the first court there were 6 people at the court we have a photo proof 4 playing and 2 were sitting 1 adult 1 child however there were no staff restricting their entrance nor speaking to them or give them warning Don t want to bring up the line of discrimination but the different attitude from the staff made the entire experience extremely awful which the group regretted obtaining membership with the leisure centre We are regular intermediate badminton players and we have been playing in a numerous of other leisure sports centre we tried to come to Irlam on a weekly basis but now we are planning to move to another location for our weekly badminton games unless this so-called policy got changed

Poor customer service
My experience with Parkwood Leisure has been extremely disappointing Their customer service is shockingly poor they consistently ignore documents I ve sent over fabricate false claims about contract start dates without providing any proof and demonstrate unprofessional behavior It feels like they are attempting to extract money from a terminated contract unfairly I would caution others to be wary of their practices and consider alternative options for leisure services Additionally Equipment in the gym area is broken and not fixed for weeks Air conditioning isn t working for over 2 months now Steam room never worked but said they will eventually repair it Jacuzzi is now broken as well When you enter the health suite it smells like pee Even other people noticed this distinct smell Rowers need a replacement as you can t change the resistance at all

One star
One star if there is anything lower than that it s for the one in Erith You will regret joining them Lack of equipment unhelpful staff The managers have no idea what they are doing and the closing time is ridiculous I don t think there is a point explaining everything in details but it s not worth it at all

Terrible experience - best avoided
Facilities generally good but I had a very poor experience with this gym when it came to trying to cancel my gym membership Their sharp practices are quite frankly appalling and somewhat suspect I was utterly shocked at their poor approach and attitude towards customers Best avoided by a large margin
