Hoo Sports Centre - (Near , UK)

2 /5 Natalie Sha: Only left 2 stars because they updated the other small gym that we enjoy going, otherwise very poor gym. The changing rooms are smelly with the lovely diaper smell that people leave in the bins, not to mention it’s always dirty. Today was another great experience when I wasn’t allowed into the female changing rooms because of the kids? I remember when we signed up for this gym there was nothing mentioned that we can change in the changing rooms AT CERTAIN TIMES, when I went into the family changing rooms it was all occupied by the SAME KIDS and of course men in it. Where I’m supposed to change? It’s an absolute joke. What’s more important to this gym, paying customers which pay extortionate fees for this type of gym or the kids on a school trip??? I’m coming to work out and I’m not allowed to change and was kicked out of the female changing rooms. Never have I had this in ANY GYM. Not to mention you cannot park at this gym at the times of 2-3pm because of all the lovely parents that sleep in their cars and pick up their kids. One word, “lovely gym”. Unfortunately, we are stuck in it because there’s nothing else close by sadly.

5 /5 AHKENT: This is the first time I have been swimming at Hoo pool for quite a few years. I think the changing rooms have been refurbished since my last visit and I found the pool to be excellent. I chose the latest casual swim time and arrived at 6:45pm the pool was really quiet and the changing rooms were clean and showers hot. We had a lovely leisurely swim, Ill definitely be back.

4 /5 Arabella Sheringham: This review is only concerned with a swimming pool visit. Weve been trialling Medway pools in the last few weeks. After Strood (very dirty) and Medway Park (changing rooms dirty, smelled like worst public toilets, pool water cloudy) we were pleasantly surprised. PROS: Free parking. Friendly reception staff. Changing rooms basically clean, no nasty smell. Lockers as before, £1 refundable. Small family changing room section available. Showers are hot and reasonably clean. Toilets clean. Pools (2, lengths one and a teaching pool, 0.8m deep) are in reasonable condition and tiles are clean. Signage clear. CONS: water a little cloudy, but nothing like Medway Park. Both male and female changing rooms feed into the family bit before accessing the pool, which may be a privacy concern to some. This is not a new pool and parts look tired. VERDICT: Overall, a little tired in places but on balance clean and well-maintained.

5 /5 Ross McDonald: Took my son here for an inflatable obstacle course in the pool at Easter. It was our first time at the leisure centre. We got a kind and chatty welcome from the women on reception. A great first impression on what turned out to be a really fun visit. Well be back!
