Well equipped gym. Good price. Friendly staff. As with any gym avoid at peak times. Nice pool. Clean facilities.

All clean ??? Big minus for me, no hairdryers in changing room. There are dryers in separate room after you leaving changing rooms and they like hand dryers, without tube, where you bend over and then stand on a bridge to dry your wet hair. Styling is impossible here. Ladies changing and shower ? are on one space with mens. Also what don?t like there?s no training kickboards in pool, so for trainee some elements you need to buy yours, and bring it all the time with you (with hairdryer ?) what is uncomfortable. In other pools it?s just in free access.Gym is not big. Not too much machines for the upper muscle group, dumbbells instead.+ is that you can book gym and pool for 6-8£ before you will buy membership. Thanks for cleaning ???

I have been going to the gym and swimming pool for years. I enjoy going in and always welcomed with a smile, I enjoy talking to staff and members. Love the smiles in the gym and now my son comes with me and loves it because he feels confident in the gym.

A very friendly gym and good classes. I've been to most gyms in Birmingham and I think that's the best one if you willing to attend different classes in the evening, after work.

Absolutely love the aqua fit sessions and the swimming facilities. Instructors are very good, in fact excellent. All different styles of delivery but the work out is fierce! Aqua zumba is also great. Wish there were aqua fit sessions at the weekends as well. Great value and lovely reception and fitness staff.

Re the pool, the main problem is persistent overcrowding of Lane Swim sessions.Lane Swim sessions are usually very busy and sometimes too crowded to swim without stopping or taking evasive action. Three lanes with 30+ people in the pool is not working well; some of the fast crowd can be quite aggressive towards slower swimmers. Lifeguards are reluctant to get involved with lane discipline, which can sometimes get chaotic.The Gym is excellent; modern machines in a light airy space with huge windows looking out onto the street below.Staff are generally helpful.Car park is small and best avoided, there is plenty of space on nearby side streets if you can walk a few hundred metres.. There are sheltered cycle stands well positioned by the entrance.It's not ideal, but is cheap. The new Sandwell Aquatic Centre, or the University pool look to be the best alternatives, certainly less crowded. Harborne is a 25m pool three lanes, with 45+ places per session; mathematical expertise is not needed to see that won't work well.Update May 2022. Lane sessions even more overcrowded. There are too few sessions for demand.

The studio pool was really good for the little one as the water temperature was appropriate. However, I find the temperature become lower and lower. The changing room is a little too cold as always.

It has rly bad access for under 16 as u can only go select times me and 6 of my friendsstopped going there due to just this and now we now go northfield gym as it?s open all day for under 16. Even though I prefer harbornes equipment I think they need to make the times more adjustable as they would get more people

Boasts of its amenities but very bad behaved reception staff members, does not respond to requests quickly. Kept charging me every month even after I requested for cancellation. One of swimming teachers shouted inappropriate words to my 5 year old kid. In total, not a friendly place.

I?ve been going to Harborne Pool since it was the ?old? pool and the ?new? pool. I have to say that the new centre is beautiful. Always clean, friendly staff. Sue on reception is lovely and the other reception staff. Never had any issues. The company who run the memberships are a pain to deal with they are called Harlands so beware if you get a membership. The only things I would criticise and for not giving a five star review would be;1. The lack of normal swim time. I don?t want to swim in a queue at lane swimming. There aren?t many slots for adults free swim.2. Nora who does the aqua fit classes has no empathy. She shouts at people. Singles people out and tells you to kick or hit other people. Plus does not do the exercises with you. Just sits and drinks her smoothie!!These are the only faults I find otherwise I?m happy with the centre and will continue to use.

It?s terrible for under 16?s.Your only allowed between 4-5pm or 5-6pm and there can only be 10 people per session. The gym is small, always busy and overpriced. They don?t have a lot of equipment which limits your exercise. Wouldn?t recommend this gym (I only went because it was close)because I missed many sessions.
