But it's definitely a case of getting what you pay for as there is a definite air of being upmarket and everything on offer that you could possibly want or need to occupy the whole family. Despite the freakish Northern Ireland spring weather, I went last weekend with my kids with guests of a friend who is a member, and we actually used the outdoor swimming pool. It was a very warm day and the water is nicely heated so it was a lovely experience. The kids loved it and I just wished it was hot enough to lounge on one of the sun beds beside the pool. There was an attentive life guard on duty to satisfy over anxious parents like me. The changing facilities are a treat too - warm and luxurious with great showers and nice toiletries. None of your 20p a time hair dryers here. There is also a shop where we bought swimming goggles and fit flops (I know, I know, I have a problem), a hair and beauty salon and a creche for under 5s. David Lloyds is the most luxurious health club I have used and I loved it. It's the kind of place I was born to use. Now all I have to do is talk the husband into forking out for the family membership fee.

But I've been using it a bit recently and was surprised to find out how kitted out it was and how well organised everything is! They have a hall for kids parties with the usual bouncy castle, bikes, toys etc and a desperate room with a small kitchen (should you need it) for the actual party As for fitness, they hold several classes a week, all varied, and have a cracking wee fitness suite upstairs for all your gym needs. My only negative would be that it could do with a bit of updating, but other than that, wouldn't go passed it now.

Pool is okay, although you're not filled with confidence about its hygiene levels after seeing the state of the changing rooms and watching lifeguard staff eat their lunch at the pool's edge while chatting with each other.

Swimming pools, fitness suites (including weights,…read morerunning machines, and all the usual leisure centre stuff), spin classes etc. It's got quite a spacious fitness suite with a lot of machines and equipment, still it can get very busy in the evenings because it's very popular. Costs around £4 to train here, but the council introduced a "boost" scheme, where you can save money by paying in advance, or arranging for a direct debit to be set up. What is an absolute joke, though, is that "all adult monthly Boost memberships have an administration fee of £15 to activate" - what?! So I fill in a form and hand it in, someone spends 5-10 minutes putting my details into a computer, presses print and gives me a plastic card, and I get charged £15? Who runs this place, Halifax?

The pool area which is the reason why I travelled all this way is your run of the mill, typical swimming pool complete with lifeguards and changing rooms. There a separate pools for children, not very good swimmers and the very good swimmers. The biggest pool isn't quite Olympic standard but then again neither am I. The one issue I have with places like this is hygene and Im glad to say this place is excellent. Swimming pools need to be kept clean and the staff here do a very good job. The Leisure Centre also has room for indoor football and gym to flex your pecks. As long as a place like this can be clean and cheap, then it gets a thumbs up from me. A great day out for young folks and old folks alike
