I’ve only recently started going here…don’t know why I missed the place ouy when it’s practically on my doorstep.
I go here mainly for the pool (when I cannot be revved up enough to go to the aquatic centre) and what a pool! All Victorian charm and I’d hazard a guess that there aren’t that many of this type still standing. I started to go here a while back when my daughter started swimming and I immediately took to the place. I can walk here for a start (it’s also directly facing a 111 bus stop); it’s cheap and besides the pool they have a gym; I quite like the old fashioned changing rooms next to the pool…I feel I should be wearing an old fashioned bathing suit whilst sipping from a glass of Pimms and lemonade.
The pay monthly (over the extortionate contracts organised by the chains) is a good idea.
At the front desk they also stock exercise paraphernalia, goggles, swim hats and such like.

I shall go there again sometime this week and treat my myriad, if not entirely toned, muscles to a healthy ‘aeroboswim’.

If you’re looking for an affordable place to keep fit, or just want to go casually for a swim/gym session/fitness class this place is ideal.
I’m not one for being tied down. In gym contracts I mean. So, this centre is great for me. You can pay monthly for under 30 (student and Manchester city council workers have discounts) or just pay as you go.

There’a pool, gym with free weights as well as cardio equipment, and a dance studio for classes. Everything you need really minus the swanky changing rooms and posh jacuzzi. But then, you’re not being charged the Earth either!
