New Eldon Leisure is underway!…read more The gym has gotten a huge update. It's about 4 times the size and growing. A massive free weights room. A functional training rack with battle ropes and boxing! Many more machines and cardio equipment. Really a great gym in the city centre. They also have 10 pin bowling! About 8 lanes and a full stocked and licensed bar with food! I personally think it's a good deal price wise. About £5 to bowl £3 a beer. They have a coffee breakfast combo. I M yet to eat here. There is also a new rock climbing and kids soft play. I have never used either. I did however use the old bouldering gym and for a novice like me I found it really good! Worth checking out!

The changing facilities are good (why can't all swimming pools have decent-sized family changing cubicles?) and the prices quite reasonable. There will be bigger and more exciting swimming pools up and down the country I'm sure, but for what it is this particular swimming pool cannot be faulted. Our two kids (now aged 3 and 5) love it.

Looks like being completed late November but will probably not open till January. Completed now and is opening January 10th or 17th 2010. Pellikaan Construction Ltd UK have done a very professional job of the building and should be commended. New webpage address for this information is http://www.hetton-online.com Official opening day on thursday 14th January and it looks worth the wait. hopefully I will get some more good pictures.:) The pools and fitnesse centre are now open to the public so lets hope its put to good use by local people. Unfortunately due to a change of government, concessions to under 16's and over 60's will cease at the end of July so a lot of families and over 60's will be disappointed as the cost to some will be out of their reach. The proposed new glass along the side of the building (being designer and wont be cheap and there are MUCH cheaper materials available) is on show in the building, but maybe if this cost was used instead for concessions for people who qualify maybe it would be a better idea in this time of allround cutbacks! Bearing in mind an already public viewing area inside is available where the public can pay to watch what is happening in the building.

If you get a monthly gym membership (lots of packages on offer) all the fitness classes here, and at the Forum as well as the swimming pools in billingham, thornaby and stockton are included at no extra charge. Well worth the subscription you pay and it is reasonably priced unlike some gyms in the area.
