The car park has unfortunately been closed as the Ellesmere centre is taking it back. The gym has lines full of cardio machines and you won't be waiting for any of these types of machines. The weigh lifting area can get busy during peak times but you will this find that they have a more than one of everything to avoid queues and waiting times.

The facilities are what you would expect from a large multinational chain, there is a very large gym with lots and lots of machines, so many that you should need to wait your turn at any point, the free weights area is also very large. The pool is large and is accompanied by a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, plunge pool and Jacuzzi. If you fancy a game of squash or would like to join one of the many classes then this gym is for you.

Initially, I rated this venue as 2 stars as, with regard to the paddling pool offered, I have…read more"experienced better". The predecessor- demolished to make room for this undeniably peculiar construction- was vast, granted it was falling apart and you shared your locker with a family of cockroaches, but it was enormous. Many galas were hosted there and the atmosphere was fantastic as cheers echoed from the stands. In my opinion its replacement is something of a disappointment; the 25metre pool seems barely larger than the learner's puddle. However, I concede this is a "leisure centre" and offers much more than just a pool boasting squash and badminton courts; cricket nets; a fully equipped, unisex gym; health suite and cafe bar. An extensive timetable is offered both for the pool- which incorporates public swim; aquazone; ladies swim; 50+; family splash and Crosby Swim Club - and the dance studio, which offers aerobics and yoga classes amongst others. I think Crosby is lucky to have such a comprehensive centre on its doorstep, but the resounding title "Crosby baths" is enduring and with each utterance comes a little nostalgia

I've joined the Salford Quays gym on the 24th of June. after attending once and realising how…read moreoverpriced, small and busy the gym was, I decided to cancel my membership and ask for a refund of the first month's payment & joining fee. The total amount to be refunded is £96.99 and to this day 51 DAYS after I've requested a refund, the money hasn't been refunded to my account. I've been speaking to Fabrizio Herath who's given me 3 different dates for the amount to be refunded to my account and I still haven't received anything. As I've mentioned to Mr Herath, this is the last time I will try to reach out to Virgin Active by myself before I contact my lawyer to fix the issue and claim compensation for the breach of contract. Also, a piece of advice for anyone thinking about joining: Just join the Pure Gym down the road.

I rate 5* because it is certainly the nicest chain gym or health club I have ever been to thats not…read morepart of a luxury hotel or spa. In my opinion it didn't even need updating but in the last year they had a £4million refurb and wow, what a place. Superb equipment, the 2 main studios are large and the yoga room is very zen like with its forrest themed walls and dark wood flooring. Very beautiful The place has nearly doubled in size since the refurb and across 3 floors now. I still mainly use the pool the most, and steam room and sauna are always nice. The only compromise has been the jacuzzi. Before it was much larger and could sit about 8 people, but it often had problems and faults. This ones half the size, it is 4 people max and even then you are knee to knee with people so I would say 3 is the comfortable maximum, but on the flip side it is a lot more reliable. So they have sacrificed space for reliability which is great at quiet time, but during busy times you may struggle to boil yourself. Staff are friendly and facilities are clean, and constantly cleaned throughout the day. I have not taken any classes so I can't comment on those but everything else is certainly the best I have come across in the many gyms I have been a member of.

I'm glad that when they built the gigantic Aquatics Centre they didn't let the smaller quainter…read moreleisure centres around town turn to wreck and ruin. Whilst the Aquatics Centre is certainly more suitable for serious swimming, it is nice to have convenient local pools such as Chorlton Leisure Centre and Withington Leisure Centre. Withington Leisure Centre is home to a 25m pool, a sauna, gym and they also hold aerobics and aqua aerobics classes. Memberships are available. My friend had a student membership which she said was really good value as long as you used the facilities a couple of times a week - it's about half the price you would pay at the swanky Virgin gym at Parrs Wood. It's a little bit cheaper for a swim here than at the AC but you have to be prepared to circumnavigate loitering biddies and splashing kids as there are no lanes, and there is free swimming for under 16s and over 65s! The best thing is that you don't need to worry about finding a pound coin for the locker and lugging your pile of clothes, shampoo, towel etc around (which inevitably leaves you with soggy knickers or your towel on the bottom of the pile when you get out!). You simply leave all of your belongings in one of the cubicles around the edge of the pool. I like that traditional touch, and although this pool isn't as pretty as Victoria Baths or as functional as the Aquatics Centre, it's a good place to swim if you live in Withington or Fallowfield.

I've been there for a concert by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. The hall we used was nice, although it wasn't totally appropriate for an orchestra, as the ceiling was a bit low, and it was lacking in atmosphere in the back half of the room. The lobby is pleasant and airy, with good refreshment facilities. Halewood is very fortunate to have it as a public venue.

Today I have returned after nearly a year gap and was shocked at the deteriorationof the facility. The changing area looks tired and shabby, with many of the changing room doors missing there locks. Surfaces are filthy and at only 2pm there was no reason for the standards to be so low. The walls of the cubilcles are graffitied in many places and strewn with chewing gum. A layer of dirt encrusted into the floor and worryingly I also noticed the steps leading down into the pool to have floating dirt around the edges. The affordable price is no longer an issue, I would rather pay more at a local David Lloyd to be assured that it is clean! I am very dissapointed!

The facility uses a high tech filtration system utilising UV to cleanse the water meaning hardly any chlorine is used. Changing facilities are unisex with single cubicles and family sized ones, the floors are heated and there are plenty of showers which are nice and hot. The pool is used by many water polo clubs for training and the general setup is among the best i've seen.
