Vivacity Peterborough Reviews

I am a member it's a great gym/fitness center plessent staff with a relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice people and good facility I enjoy going here since I was 10 and won't go any where else

Main pool too cold, very old fashioned place and desk staff can be rude

Nice atmosphere, not to busy in the day so I can get on with my workout, the downfall is that there isn't a separate changing room for the gym, and the pool changing rooms are way to hot after a workout and no privacy to shower.

Took my 11 week old for swim. Went in term time so very quiet and had teaching pool to ourselves. Nice and warm and changing rooms were clean

The pool is OK but the diving pit is shut apart from 1 hour a week. The men's changing room needs a good clean. And the toilets are too high to sit on for children. The staff are good for teaching the kids and the swimming clubs are very good. The parking is a good 200m from the pool.

Staff are sometimes great and sometimes poor. Mixed bag. But good facilities and parking.

The gym itself I would give five stars, generally very clean and tidy, it has air conditioning and water dispensers (very slow, takes five minutes to fill up a bottle) there are a good selection of machines and free weights allowing you to work on all muscle groups.
The changing rooms and showers are very dated and cold, I'd rate them rated 1 star but that's because I'm feeling generous. The floor is always disgusting and wet making it a slip hazard and difficult to get changed after your cold shower.
The swimming pool is okay but a lot of the time half of it is shut off from the public making what's left quite busy, they also have a sauna and steam room but are temperamental whether they work.

Great for a swim. Water usually at a reasonable temperature.

Very poor excuse of a "health club"
For starters it looks like a bunker, gym small (not an issue) but equipment couple of years ago was due a change.
Changing rooms laughable, pool opening time only for retired or unemployed I managed to swim in it once so far.

On a possitive side it is clean and on personal positive it very close from my house but i wouldnt recommend it I am not surprised they don't offer day passes as no one would ever join.
Please bare in mind that this is a very subjective opinion and you might not agree with it.

I like the pool and also the staff are cool... Even is a lot of people there still is practical and clean!

Swimming pool - great. Be wary of the barriers if you have children.

Clean.. Very friendly employees.. Gym is great and instructors help you a lot.. Great classes especially the yoga and pilate.. Sauna and steam room for relaxation.. Swimming pool which smells very less chlorine

Excellent swimming pool which also has a deep diving pool. Very clean and helpful, friendly staff

I love the aqua Zomba classes,could do with some more?

I find the main pool too cold and often on Sundays on 'family time' the pool is full and u have to wait , like I am now . Peterborough needs a bigger better leisure pool . I'd rather drive to Bedford !

Good facilities, building a bit dated but there's not a lot they can do about that.

Good facilities, nice staff. Maintainaceon of some of the facilities could improve... Have enjoyed every customer regardless.

Swimming pools are good, but changing rooms are freezing. If taking young children I'd recommend dressing gowns and hot water bottles

Nice pool for the budget visitor. A bit morally outdated, but clean.

This pool has been around for many many years now and in just a few places is showing its age especially in style, this kind of design would not be found if built today, however the council has done everything to make it as modern as possible. Importantly everything works, the showers, dryers, toilets etc, the changing rooms have enough space and private areas to cater for everyone, the pool it's self is warm and inviting and there is ample lifeguard support, there is a separate pool for little ones and the main pool can be divided into an are for public and school swimming.
I only go mid morning swimming so have no idea of how busy it can get but certainly at that time there is ample swimming area

Well worth a visit.

Not the cleanest place. Toilets are disgusting. They have the lifeguards cleaning toilets.when there is urine all over the floor and then people walk In it and then in to the gym area. I complained many times but they didn't care so I cancelled my membership.

The swimming pool is a great size here especially if there are a lot of people swimming. The diving area is great, and you get to use three separate diving boards which are perfect fun if you're with friends. If you're here for serious More

Decent gym and swimming pool only problem is that you guys only have 1 proper Olympic barbell. You bought a small barbell that's pretty much useless. This is a problem when somebody wants to use the squat rack and someone else wants to use the deadlift area as they cannot do it at the same time

Should open at 06.00, free weight room is too small, have to wait to use old fashioned equipment

Great facility, great choice of classes and big pool.; could do with marking off a bit more for the serious swimmers during the day. Also not allowing balls etc unless its a 'fun day' event obviously. (Been hit my a ball when an over zealous father took his kids). Always very clean. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Nice facilities, but AWFUL customer service. As first timers there we were treated as complete idiots and humiliated.

Good swimming facility. Diving pool. Kids teaching pool. Nice pool staff. Reception staff need proper up to date customer service training as they sometimes seem uninterested and perhaps rude.

Decent swimming pool, got sauna and a steam room. Very good gym, got free weights and fitness machines (in separate rooms). As well as exercise classes, daily.

Good but has nothing to do really could have activities or slides for kids ladies changing rooms need cleaning but apart from that it's good

Nice place with good instructors but they need to extend the hours !!!!
and the machines inside.

Teaching pool is warm and a nice size. Changing facilities are good and clean. Staff are friendly.

Pool is epic, can be a bit cold occasionally but you get used to it in not time.

I don't know what the fuss is about with the staff. Some can be a little slow sometimes dealing with customers.

However all the ones I ever come across are legit...very very legit.

Customer service is appalling and does not help you with anything so i do not recommend anyone going there.

I visit the pool and health suite regularly - 3 early mornings each week. The staff are friendly and professional - I hope the Regional Pool continues for many years to come.

Spacious pool..however, the main pool water does taste like there have been too many toddlers in it despite the seperate childrens pool. #more bleach required? Very friendly staff. :)

After I was waiting 10 minutes after a "lady" finish to talk on the phone, she told me is family weekend at pool and they wasn't have any annoncement on the gate about it.

My 5 star rating is for Liesl.
She is THE best aqua fit instructor ever. She knows how to work the whole class well. She changes routines regularly & pushes us to get the most out of ourselves, whatever our level. Her enthusiasm for her work shows through....Thoroughly enjoy the class. Please thank her for a job well done. :) Joanna

Don't really know the timetable but can always get in when we go in the afternoon

Although the changing rooms are cold but fair prices

You will learn swimming without getting inside water.

Just joined but not impressed with the nights I am allowed to swim all the pools taken over by classes in the evening

Really large and equipped gym, swimming pool, courses of every kind with really capable masters. Then also sauna, round bath and other things. The fourth star does not reach her because sometimes I found her dirty and the opening times are not always the same and they confuse you. It must be said, however, that the athletic gun is truly phenomenal.

The gym is well equipped and clean, along with having air con which puts it above most other gyms in Peterborough
However the showers are absolutely grim, with some cubicles having no drains so flooding when in use, and seemingly endless chunks of hair floating around.
If I was just rating the gym it would be 5 stars, but for 30 pounds a month (including student discount) you'd expect more

Came as a visitor to the area during a competition nearby. Good day pass system despite not being able to find them on my usual app. For the centers I have gone to this way, I found them some of the most friendly, helpful and very welcoming. Thankyou, and I am sure I will be back. Only thing I found was the pool area a little slippy, but it was a Sunday and very busy.

Good choice of classes. Changing facilities not bad but could be a bit better

Brilliant facilities, excellent service, friendly staff. I go to the gym there, and the staff are always helpful if I need them, and there's plenty of a equipment so I'm not left hanging around to use a piece of equipment.
