Isn?t open for lane swimming in the evening (when the majority of people can go) for half of the week and when they are open, fully booked. The facilities are fine when I have been before but I physically cannot go. Disappointing.

Gym is quite small and it's nearly impossible to get on the treadmills during the busier times. They have also started playing the radio at obnoxiously loud levels (so loud in fact that I hear it even with my earphones in), nothing quite as fun as having to listen to mutiple adds for compensation lawyers while trying to workout.

Started off with swim only membership got bored so joined the gym as well, speaking to the staff got persuaded to join the classes, never thought it would be my thing but love it,only downside is not enough early morning sessions as I prefer to go first thing before work

Use to be fine until they recently started blasting the radio at full volume in the gym. Inquired as to when this was introduced and the receptionist told me they had always done this. Checked with a friend who also goes to the gym and he had also never heard them playing music. I don't see the point as most people have earphones in anyway. The problem is that it is so loud it bleeds into the music I'm listening. Might just have to cancel my membership and find a better gym.

Your website is completely broken. You can't even sign up to be a member. So annoying.

Really disappointed with the swimming lessons. I attended a first session with my daughter (oldest group before the proper levelled lessons start), and the instructor stayed on deck. First thing they asked the group to do was dive down, putting face in water, to grab rings at the bottom of the kid pool. Not very beginner friendly at all. The next bits were essentially laps, where the instructor asked the kids to swim from one side to the other pushing a foam block -- they hadn't yet taught them how to swim?? Next the 'stronger swimmers' (ie: two kids who had been there before) were invited over to the big pool to practice jumping in with the instructor, while my daughter and another new child were told to go ahead and play in the meantime. It was an awful experience, and asked to cancel lessons after. Was told to call to cancel, but it has been a real nightmare trying to cancel. You have to call a 3rd party company, where you are on hold for 20 mins+, only to be told you have to give one months notice, and ring back the local gym. I rang back the local gym and was told they couldn't do anything and to email the swim coordinator. REALLY recommend avoiding, as they don't offer 'taster' sessions and cancelling is an absolute nightmare.

Gym was £7.40 for one session (explicitly not day pass) - they had one bench, one squat rack and no space to deadlift.
The gym feels very judgemental if you?re not on the cardio machines as people are simply just watching everyone else.
2* as it?s a leisure centre so it?s the half expected

I really like the gym..which I have now visited twice after working in Buxton.
I usually go to New Mills but this gym is bigger and has more machines. Plus it feels nicer because of the windows looking out into the gardens. Don't worry though, no one can peer back in at all us muscular guys and gals working out. ?

Good sized pool in a lovely location. Also gym facilities. Not very good for lane swimming unless you want to go very early or late evening

Great equipment but unfortunately too small, if it's busy you won't get on anything, bigger and better gyms in Buxton that can actually house it's members! This is one of the most expensive and SMALLEST in Buxton
