Oakengates Leisure Centre is an excellent place and means of enjoying exercise.
There are excellent swimming facilities, the pool being first class to learn to swim. The classes available to learn to swim cater for all ages and levels of capability. Each class is run by a qualified instructor and the thing that really impressed was the fact that a lifeguard was continually patrolling the baths. The swimming lessons are usually 30 minutes duration. For parents bringing children to learn to swim there is a viewing gaiiery around two sides of the pool with seating with excellent views of the pool.
There is also a separate sports hall where badminton, basketball and netball are available at relevant times and days. The viewing gallery also is available for the sports hall.
There is available an exercise facility available under the name of Aspirations, with all of the exercise machines that make up a first class gym.
In the foyer there are coffee and soft drink machines.
