I kind of didn't want to walk all the way over to Amber Café on my way to Petersfield, and I'd noticed the little café at the Aquatics Centre a few times. It seemed to offer way more healthy treats than the archetypal vending machines at the South Manchester leisure centres (hey, they have those too. Hello Nice 'n' Spicy Nik-Naks!), and there was proper coffee too, so I sauntered up to the counter all exhausted with my hair all soggy (I refuse on principle to use my 20ps for hairdryers that wouldn't make a jot of difference to my multilayered thick hair) and asked about their smoothies. They could indeed do them to take away, but they only had about three options available on the generous list which didn't bother me in the slightest. I went for... come on, how could I resist the name?... THE IMMUNISER. It sounds like some kind of *machine*! It incorporated strawberry, kiwi and pineapple, three of my absolute favourite fruits, and it was awesome. Just the right portion and only a little over £2, how can one complain? I'll definitely be using this as regularly as my morning fruit shoot before breakfast. Thanks, Manchester Sports and Leisure! Nom.

Have been coming here to the gym on and off for a while now…read more The gym is small and compact but as everything you need in it for a workout there is always an instructor avaliable if you need any help on how to use the machines there is air conditioning on all the time so you dont get to hot and at £5.20 pay as you go you can stay as long as you like. downstairs there are a couple of pools and you can start at a beginners course or you can go in the advanced side , they also do a ladies only night for those who wish to just be with the girls. next door to the gym is a keep fit class and down stairs is a cafe and drinks machines staff are always friendly and helpful.

Swimming pools have changed quite a bit since my days...ok so I may only be 32 but I remember as a…read morekid going to veruca infested, freezing cold pools that just basically seemed like hell on earth to go in and come out of! Well imagine my amazed state when my wife and I took my 9 month old daughter to Cheadle Life Leisure and I was like wow, this is pretty cool. This is never going to be a review massively in depth on the nuts and bolts of the place but I can say that I was really impressed with the following points: * £3.40 for an adult to use the pool - not bad for as long as you want * The changing facilities where super clean and they had family changing rooms where we could all get changed - sweet! * They have 2 pools - one massive one for proper swimming, with the other still fairly impressive and being lovely and warm (I could have stayed in there all day) * Pretty clean and smart welcome area with snacks etc *Families were welcomed and there were plenty of folks teaching their kids to swim - I should have taken notes for the future!

I asked if they could help. The girl said " oh is it not working ".......she tried it......and said " normally it does this that and the other ".....I asked it anyone could sort it out...." I don't know " she said. So I've sat whilst my grandchildren are in the pool....I've no drink and a lot of people have come to the machine to find it not working. They haven't put an out of order sign on it. Some folk have been over to B and B bargains for drinks. Also the front foyer are and viewing areas smell damp and musty.

Apparently they've borrowed the one from Ramsbottom once! There are doors hanging off lockers right next to the pool, hooks missing from changing rooms and showers that have dodgy thermostats!

Although £2.50 supplement required if you want to go to Boogie Bounce... which is the best class available here... even for someone like me who has absolutely no rhythm. Gym and pool open through the week at 7am apart from mondays and wednesdays when it is 6.30... could do with longer opening hours, especially at weekends. Really accomodating (said i could have my own lane in the pool for tri training) They just need to ensure they open the gate for walkers and not everyone drives there and most days they forget!!
