    Wimbledon Leisure Centre - Main gym area

    Lots of classes to choose from, some good and some not so good teachers…read more Changing rooms are average with them taking 5 months to replace a light bulb in the toilets. The exercise studio is a disgrace. Flooding damaged the ceiling and the floor, classes were cancelled so they could repair the floor but they didn't and when they cancelled them for a second time they only replaced parts of the floor and left large damaged areas unrepaired. Cheap and cheerful but don't expect anyone to return your calls or answer emails and staff are generally kept in the dark so unable to help much. The booking app is abysmal, regularly doesn't work, was supposedly updated and now doesn't work again. You can't book by phone as they don't answer. Booking via the website is ok if you know what class you want to book, if it then it's a nightmare.

    I absolutely love the gym here. It has all the necessary equipment and more, even during busy times…read morethere are always machines free. It did get a bit annoying in January when the post Christmas 'new year new you' crowd were in, but thankfully it's returned to normal now. I haven't used the swimming pool or attended any classes here (I've tried to book on to some classes but they always seem to be full!), but I've heard good things.

    Wimbledon Leisure Centre - This is an area of the studio floor the day after they supposedly repaired it. Disgraceful and not fit for purpose

    I've only used the gym and the pool so my review is specific only to those facilities…read more The pool is a little chilly, as others have said, however it isn't a spa pool, it's a swimming pool, so it's going to be chilly and the point is that you swim to warm up. The pool area and changing rooms are broadly clean, with enough locker space. The gym is pretty well equipped, but at its busy times you will struggle to find usable machines and equipment. The users aren't very good at replacing equipment so you can spend a while looking around for certain weights. And the rules regarding not taking in coats and bags aren't enforced, so finding mat space, for example, can become difficult and you end up having to shove some strangers bag to the side because you can't find the owner. Without wanting to sound like I'm young-person-bashing, the after school groups seem to use the gym more as a hang-out, and people of all ages don't seem to have developed the gym etiquette you find in other places regarding being sat on equipment looking at your phone for prolonged periods, denying the equipment to others. The student groups also tend to leave a lot of their belongings scattered in the changing rooms instead of using the lockers which are plentiful. The staff are very friendly, but it would be preferable if they enforced some of the rules & policies. And as a minor criticism I'd prefer lockers you can padlock instead of needing a £1 coin. Overall, it's fine if you're not a core-hours user - it would definitely be better if the policies were enforced, but if you're someone trying to do some exercise after work, particularly in term-time, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

    I have been a member of the centre for more years than I care to mention. The facilities are great…read moreand they have a wide range of activities for all ages and abilities. My biggest complaint would be the swimming pool changing rooms which are way too hot. Also there is occassionally a problem with the heating of the learner pool, but when you complain you get told that it is within regulations. When childrens lips are going blue in the lessons, I would say it is too cold despite what the regulations say.

    This place used to be about a 10 minute walk from my house. The Latchmere Leisure Centre offers a…read morerange of facilities from a gym to badminton courts, a swimming pool and fitness classes as well. I mostly used the swimming pool and hire the badminton courts a few times. To hire the courts, it's quite cheap, it might of changed now but it was around a tenner between two people for 2 hours. Not bad... It's usually quite quiet on a Sunday afternoon. The swimming pool is a really good size. However, the pool gets really busy with Mums and babies in the afternoon so I'd suggest going in the morning or the evening. I liked this place. It's got a nice family feel but isn't always hugely busy which is a nice change as most London gyms can be pretty heaving more of the time. A nice, cheap alternative to the bigger, corporate gyms...

    They have a serious security issue which resulted in lost of customers' items from lockers numerous…read moretimes. Disappointingly, they decided to solve customers' requests by ignoring them. Very irresponsible management team. The swimming pool water is murky and because it's very popular with young children, you'd find pieces left behind to swim through. Half shower's locks broken, holes in partitioning walls. I tolerated it for a while just because I live nearby, now moved to a different leisure centre, different company, much happier, never stepped in Latchmere centre (or any DC centre) ever again.

    Nestled beside the Thames between Richmond and Bushy you'll have a lovely time at The Lensbury,…read more Ours was a company meeting, and the venue served that purpose nicely as well. The rooms were "cosy" so plan on spending more time in the common spaces or nearby in town. Breakfast was varied although some colleagues wanted more. What're you gonna do? The other meals were apparently good, as I talked to others who enjoyed dinner immensely. The proximity to town is nice for the perfect-length pre/post-dinner walks, and Thames Path being just behind the hotel ok allows for runs or strolls as far as you want to go. A little farther north or south will put you in two of Greater London's best parks. If you want to stay on-grounds to raise your heart rate, the exercise facility is one people pay high monthly rates to join. The pool is perfect and spacious, and you'll have all manner of what you'd expect to workout otherwise. I'm sure the grounds would be lovely in summer months, but you'll still have space to spread out indoors. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we'd enjoy our rumored return next year if it materializes.

    I just love this place, they made the room availble by 11am, was upgraded to one of their superior…read moresuites, spent a relaxing 3 hours in their very well equipped fitness centre, finishing off with swim in their very clean and warm pool, followed by a sauna and steam session. Energy replacement courtesy of fresh fruit juices and home-made yoghurt, honey and granola. PS: did I say I loved this place!
