Many people are unsure of the gym or even swimming. Some people find it uncomfortable. Copley is…read morenot one of these centres. Over the years it has expanded to not only fit in with the times, but to adapt to every need possible. The leisure centre has much to offer such as two swimming pools; one large one for adults and a smaller one for children and teaching swimming lessons. Also within the centre is a large sports hall for football fanatics for 5 a side football as well as badminton, basketball and many other activities. The fitness suite is brilliant. Its all brand new and up to date and has over 100 stations and its nice and cool to so you don't get too warm when your working them muscles! Outside they have a fantastic synthetic turf ground for 6 a side football which is popular with many people. Not only that but they have dance studios, squash courts, spas, saunas and a relaxation area!! It is amazing. If you are looking to get fit or just want to participate in salsa classes or boxercise, Copley Recreation Centre is an ideal place to start whilst not breaking the bank.

Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy fun fun fun fun fun -- the wonderful thing about Jump Arena is... OK…read moreit's not the only one. But it's the only one in Leeds, and that's all you need to know. Trust me, I looked up trampolining --not because it's the latest trend in exercise, although it is-- but because I've wanted to get my bounce on for aaaaaages. The only other place in Leeds that I could find looks like it's basically for kids, which is a shame as they have the proper big trampolines. Anyway. This place? So much more than just bouncing. There is trampoline basket ball, trampoline jump in a foam pit, trampoline dodge ball... there's even a tight rope thing you can practice balance on. I love it! They've got a parkour thing in the works too, which is super exciting. Although, the guy didn't really seem to get me when I checked if there would be lessons and if those lessons would be cool for a not-teenager. Whatever I want to run up things. Staff all seem to be about 18. It does smell a little bit like boy and Lynx. But, forget that and just get your bounce on. My friend and I actually spent the first five minutes squealing and bouncing as high and/or as fast as we could until we both collapsed. How do kids DO IT?! Pro tip: warm up a bit. The air in there is super cold which makes your chest hurt if you go nuts like we did. One last question: what is it with alternative exercise places, lasers, and nineties dance music? I mean, weird. But I guess I like it too. DO IT. It's a tenner an hour. Don't go on weekends if you don't want to be surrounded by childs.

There are always classes available for kids and adults and a smaller pool for the youngest of kids! There is also a gym located inside it which is very small and doesn't have a lot to offer. At the pool they do do partys for kids and prices are good.

Donny Dome isn't bad, but it's a little dated and shabby. It gets its name from the small glass…read moredome on the roof, rather than the shape of the building itself which is distinctly 80s! I haven't skated there, but swam with the kids many times. From a parents perspective, it's far too cold! The main pools aren't too bad but the baby pool is absolutely freezing and it's a little dark and dreary as well. The changing rooms are a bit hit-and-miss: pretty much what you get in any swimming pool of this era, and a little dirty. They're mixed male & female but there aren't many that are big enough for parents and kids to share. They seem to open the big slides and outdoor pool at random times - perhaps there is a pattern to it, but whenever I've been there I've been told that certain features are closed due to staffing. A bit disappointing when you've paid to take the kids there and the particular slide they want is closed. I understand, however, that it is currently closed for refurbishment (Nov 08) so I'm really hoping that it is greatly improved when it re-opens as the basics are there and eldest loves it. It's worth a visit, but go with fairly low expectations and hopefully be pleasantly surprised by it!

I had the pleasure of being one of the first to use the facilities here yesterday on opening day…read moreand am very impressed indeed. The place appears to have been very well planned and designed and am sure it will appeal to all. they really have thought of everything and the variety of equipment and machines will impress even the most experienced Gym bunny! Sun Lane Leisure has the following facilities: A six lane 25m pool with adjustable depth ( A 13m x 7m studio pool with adjustable depth (this has a floating bottom so the depth can be brought to zero, this in effect covers the pool and it looks invisible) A 100 station fitness suite A multi-use activity studio A health suite with steam room and sauna which are pool side There are dedicated changing rooms for both pool and gym, on separate floors and they are top class with lovely finishing touches. The pool offers family changing rooms or separate cubicles. 130 capacity spectator viewing area Café and spectator area refreshments vending machines. I was previously using the Lightwaves Leisure Centre which has now been replaced by the Sun Lane Centre and I am so impressed by the massive upgrade to first class which I feel we now have within our Community. Many of the Lightwaves Staff have transferred across and i am pleased to see some new faces have joined the now sizable Team. The Staff are highly trained and experienced, knowledgeable, approachable and very keen to assist, support and encourage you. The Staff here are very used to all manner of abilities and shapes and sizes and they really are experts and sensitively deal with those of us who are very unfit and GP referrals. Please do not expect to find a Gym full of young trendy skinny beauties, this Gym really has a mix of ages and everyone is friendly and welcoming to all users, it really feels like there is mutual respect for all here. Sun Lane Leisure is fully accessible for people with disabilities, with a lift to the second floor and gym so all floors are accessible. There is also accessible changing, level access and hoists into both pools. A key feature to be included in Sun Lane Leisure is a Changing Places facility which offers special access for the disabled and will mean carers can assist those with a range of needs to change in safety and comfort. Features include height adjustable adult-sized changing benches, a tracking hoist system, space for the user and up to two carers, centrally placed toilet and screens for extra privacy. This changing facility will be available for anyone visiting the city and not just users of the facility.

Having only ever used two facilities here they are all I can comment on. Childrens parties: We had a bouncy castle which was a great hit with the kids, and then went into a room in which there was a full platter of finger foods and a birthday cake. They do offer different kinds of kids party such as roller disco's. Swimming: There are two pools; a small heated childrens pool and a larger pool. The small pool is brilliant for bringing babies and toddlers swimming and is regularly monitored that there is only a certain number of people in the pool to avoid over crowding. The larger pool is often sectioned off into two ares, a lanes swimming area and then an open pool area for the people who don't wish to swim in lanes. The changing rooms are normally quite clean and tidy although the air conditioning can make it a bit cold. There are 4 showers in the female changing rooms as well as a couple of toilets. Lockers are provided for everyone to use and cost £1 which you get back at the end of your session.

The 2 pools are good the small childrens pools great for younger children and the bigger pool is a good size. The slide is great for kids and adults but there is only the 1 slide. There are plenty of life guards which is great as tghey are always watching the pools. There is also a sauna and steam room at the side of the pool which once you have paid to swim you can use for free. The shower areas are good and close to the pool so you don't have to go far. Overall this is a great place for the family. There are plenty of other things to do there such as the gym and activity classes and the price for this is not too bad. The price for swimming is also a good price not too expensive.

The Richard Herrod Leisure centre has two snooker tables available for public use and also has a…read morelarge indoor bowls area. Apart from the sport side of things there is also a bar area, bigscreen sports, restaurant area and large function room available. The atmosphere definitely has a local friendly feel and there are always familiar faces that obviously treat the bar as very much their substitute for their local pub. Any why not? Beer is reasonably priced and the staff are always friendly and chatty. The centre runs entertainment programmes and normally has some form of music act or personality on over the weekend nights in particular. Details of these can be found advertised on the premises or I am sure you can call them to find out what is on. For me personally it is a place to head down to on a Sunday afternoon to watch the afternoon football and enjoy a quiet sociable pint amongst easy going people in a nice community type atmosphere.
