Medway Park Sports Centre - (Near Kent, UK)

5 /5 Christina Amaning: Nice sports centre. Really big and has lots activities available for all ages. Visited the centre with my husband. The young Lithuanian lady was really nice. She showed us around and was very informative,friendly and professional. She answered all our questions and we were very pleased with everything.

4 /5 Michael Day: Went for the tobogganing. We went before and payed for the tubing and tobogganing. We found the tubing quite boring. You do not really get much speed on the tubes. The tobogganing however, is great fun. Please use your own caution, but we do not use the brake until having to slow down at the very end. Paid for five goes each X 2 which was £38 so not cheap, but as a once a every now and then treat, not bad. Fully recommended.

3 /5 michael hogben: I go swimming here and theres tons of little issues, shared changing areas for males and females? Whoevers idea that was needs sacking.. Granted theres cubicles but you still have to get to them after your shower. Showers theres most pressure from a down pour then these showers.. The cleaners must be on strike or something because you never see them and you different dont see their work.. The tiles in the changing areas, are as clean as the Ganges during festival time.. However the staff are brilliant and helpful, some of the younger ones need prompting now and again but still good and they definitely care. Theres also a huge amount of Drain flys around the showers, they seem harmless just annoying... They definitely need funding at this place and it would be a brilliant place. Dont let that discourage you from going its still a good place to come!

2 /5 Rosie P: Medway Park should consider billing customers according to the services they actually use. My membership is £39 a month, and I only use the gym. While £39 might be reasonable value for those who use other facilities such as the other gyms, pool or classes, it feels overpriced for gym-only users. Many gym-only memberships elsewhere are available for around £25 per month, making Medway Park’s offering poor value in comparison. Cleanliness: The gym is kept reasonably clean, and I have to commend the cleaning staff — they’re friendly and do a great job maintaining the space day-to-day. However, the facility clearly needs a deeper clean at least once a week, which doesn’t seem to happen. Health & Safety Concerns: This is where the biggest issue lies. There are frequently under-18s using the main gym, often lifting weights far too heavy for them, with little to no staff supervision. I’ve even seen a child vaping in the gym and staff didn’t intervene. I regularly report safety concerns like this (about once a month), but nothing seems to change. If the gym allows children to use the facilities, there should always be staff monitoring the floor to ensure safety and proper use of equipment. Additionally, some of the instructors give questionable advice during inductions, suggesting there’s a real need for further staff training. Opening Hours and Closures: For £39 a month, the opening times are quite restrictive.. 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends and bank holidays is unreasonable for a modern gym.. You need to open at 6am on a weekend.. On top of that, the gym frequently closes for extended periods, such as over Christmas, or for random days, without any fee adjustments. Members like me end up paying full price while being unable to use the facilities. Staff often suggest using another Medway Park location, but the alternatives are not located locally.. So I end up having to pay for a different gym which annoys me more. I will say the gym itself is well equipped, it does need a shift around to be more practical because the layout is limiting, kettle bells would be a nice addition, having free mats upstairs near the weights would be useful. However, It’s a poorly managed gym that could easily be great with better oversight.

5 /5 Mark Rothery: Great facilities here including a well equipped gym, large swimming pool, sports halls and an athletics track. Suitable for all ages and abilities. Parking is also free if you are using the centre, just remember to enter your car reg into the terminals in reception
