Trafford Community Leisure Trust Reviews

Grandkids love it here, roller skating is one of their favourites

Good spinning classes - instructors push you to work harder - feel good after a good workout

Old leisure center but has main facilities including indoor courts and swimming pool. Definitely in need of renovating though.

The only problem with this place is the changing room for swimming. There are no cubicals to get changed, it is completely open. So if you have something that you want to keep to yourself or have kids that are at the point of body changes, it is very difficult.

Dirty grubby changing rooms with stains on the ceiling, walls and floor. Dirty pool with tiles fallen off. Needs a good deep clean.

Stopped using the pool here as I felt i was being discrimated against because I'm male.

I think women's only hours are sexist and outdated and they have them with a higher degree of regularity at Stretford than any other swimming pool that I know of.

You wouldn't have an hour of pool use exclusively for certain persons based on their religion or colour and you shouldn't have them based solely on a person's sex either, especially not as frequently as you do at Stretford.

Very peaceful and quiet during the day but a bit expensive

The road leading into the car park and the car park is full of pot holes, about 15 light bulbs out in the squash courts, so dark.

A very nice area with gyn and all training facilities

The gym facilities are descent, good hours and nice pools. Gym lacks a squat rack but has a room for mat work, kettlebells and a fair set of machines and free weights. It's a comfortable small but posh feeling gym.

Building needs updating, a complete overhaul. Gym price very expensive, considering the gym is really small

Good facilities somewhat ageing. Close to Old Trafford football and cricket so access and parking can be problematical on match days.

A bit rough around the edges. Could do with some TLC

Went to roller disco and was very friendly and courteous service

Really friendly cafe, great for when taking the kids to really well organised swimming lessons. Only drawback no sibling discount for swimming lessons.

Has everything you need such as gym, swimming, ping pong, kids playgroup ect. But most of the facilities are getting a little old.

Water in the children's pool is often cold. Dirty locker rooms

Simply just a pool but made better by floats and disco haven't tried gym yet

It s alright. Quite run down and needs a cash injection. Pool is a good size but the changing rooms are poor. The sports hall isn t too bad. Was always on the down after the library went here. Staff are always really friendly here. The cafe is ok but the gym isn t the best.

Great place that could do with some investment with gym equipment and spinning bikes.

Had a good round of badminton here, enjoyed myself. Nice venue with car parking facility.

The people who work here are great and really engaged but the building is knackered.

It's a tad run down, but the staff are lovely, and there's a really friendly atmosphere. The children's swimming lessons are very good. The gym is rarely overcrowded, and there are no 'roid heads acting like they own the place. It's just a shame that they no longer have squash courts.

My daughter has additional needs and has Kelly for swimming who's awesome as she understands my daughters needs. If you can visit the cafe upstairs too as Jo and the other lady (who works in there too) make a yummy toastie nothing is ever too much trouble for them always polite and friendly.

At least the small pool is warm changing rooms not great
Large pool freezing

We have started playing badminton here since couple of weeks.Nice courts.Lighting should be made much better as sometimes light falls straight in the eyes while hitting the shuttles.

Great classes monthly membership is fantastic value for everything Zest offers can't fault it

A decent facility that is a great asset for the community. The swimming pool is being well used and is the ideal size. The building is starting to look old and tired but with plans for a new facility it isn't worth investing in upgrades to modernise the building to make it feel newer than it is. That's not to say it is worn-out just starting to look like an old building, it is still perfectly serviceable and useable.

Disabled push button auto doors
Not working, report given 3wks ago, no joy!! - the place must be closing down - poor show Stretford leisure centre!!!

Great set up for family swim and keeping everyone distanced

Very handy for a great selection of stores. Lots of free parking and close to a choice of eateries too.

Came to a swimming gala here. The facility is functional but has definitely seen better days. It looks very aged and a lot of the facilities are in need of repair. The spectator gallery is far too small. Not the worst but could do with a lot of money spending on it to bring it into modern times.

It's OK.. Pool is decent size.. Mixed changing rooms with lockers.. The sports hall and gym are OK.. Buts it's missing a steam/sauna area..

Nice little gym equipment is a bit dated but lots of classes facilities and the gyms quiet also has a separate women's gym. Big and small pools great helpful staff.

First impression clean and modern. Shame about the changing rooms. Shabby, cold and awful showers that barely work. Cafe upstairs serve quite a good selection of hit and cold meals reasonably priced.

Staff very good and helpful but in desperate need of a refurb,definitely the toilets.

Great variety of facilities and activities for all ages. Love that they have a women's gym. The tiny Ted's group on a Tuesday is amazing. Lots of children's equipment. Friendly staff. Pool needs updating and big pool needs warming up

Dated and dirty. Ok facilities. Chewing gum and stagnant water in men's changing rooms is slightly off-putting.

Lovely warm swimming pool for children. Family /disabled changing rooms are pretty dingy and always have wet floors and are very musty.

Reasonable facilities, clean but as always cafe not open etc

Busy, and much more expensive than any other leisure centre in the area

Been going years. Although the facilities are showing their age the friendliness of the staff more than make up for it.

Pretty standard old school leisure centre. Has nice, cheap toddler group late morning

Really enjoyed swimming here after a long long time.

Can't contact them for some simple information: no one answers the phone and when I tried to contact them via email on their website, it doesn't work either.

Lovely gym with friendly staff and a range of reasonable facilities. Could do with a bit of maintenance but it is a great example of a local authority gym.

Amazing leisure center nice clean large pool good warm kids pool. Both pools are very clean and warm. The gym is cleaned and very great for losing weight my kids really like it there but the boys changing room are abit to public and my children get a bit uncomfortable nice staff nice food nice cold drinks very good party's and cleansiness definitely recommended for a good local pool/gym

Ive been 4 weeks in a row to take the kids swimming and not managed to get into the pool yet. I have been told ive arrived too early one day and was advised i could try the play room upstairs which the kids enjoyed so missed out on a swim. Then arrived at 10.30 3 weeks in a row to be told its fully booked and i can wait but they wont put your name on a list so by the time you keep popping to the desk they have let others in not coming again. Urmston baths are more organised and have a turnover system so everyone gets a turn much better place to go

Worst swimming experience I've ever had. Staff were very friendly but the changing rooms smelt AWFUL, the swimming pool was really salty?? and in desperate need of a revamp. Also, despite checking with the life guard that I was definitely swimming in the right direction other swimmers in the lane would consistently swim right at me, next to each other, blocking the lane and then would both stop in front of me and look as if this was in some way my fault. Really bad experience.

Could do with a deep clean. Needs a 'changing village' rather than separate male and female changing areas as it is difficult take a family into one of the two rather dingy family changing rooms.

Needs a deep clean and changing rooms updating. No private showers, and felt grubby, my first and last visit today

Great tidy building and staff I used it on n off for about 20 years

Fab spin class this morning. First one I've done since the gyms have reopened. Feeling it already. Can't wait for the next class.

Very good Leisure Centre very adaptable very good customer service

Changing rooms reminded me of the gym scenes in the film kes. Never had to queue after changing to get in the pool. If anyone is considered making a film on the early life of Duncan Goodhew this would be the perfect set .

In need of a facelift and modernising however still a good facility with well maintained areas and friendly staff.
