Staff are friendly. However, when swiped membership card does not always let you in. I paid the annual gym offer in November 2023 started my attending the gym 3 times a week. I gradually notice that the equipment is not as clean as they should be, dust is clearly visible evidence of sporadic cleaning. The equipment is tired and not well maintained. Some of the cardio equipment out of order.
The male changing room is awfully smelly, very poor ventillation and damp. Some lockers are broken. General cleanliness of cabinet is poor. Lots of rubbish inside.
After 3 months I quit going as the general appearnce put me off.
Cheap price not always the best deal.
Excercising at home now using free classes on youtube and cycling using my Wattbike.

Appalling service. Gave notice to cancel swimming lessons from end 9 of November but it was activated immediately so we went to Hailsham pool to find membership cancelled with immediate effect. Child very upset and disappointed. Experience with freedom leisure is that complaints are ignored.

Bowling in the dark? Lights coming on and going off at random. No staff downstairs in the Bowling area and no refreshments. Cafe upstairs staffed by one poor girl trying to make coffee and take money. Not worth the wait. Take drinks and food with you.

We have been taking the children bowling here for the last few months and they love it. Because it's only 8 lanes it's nice and quiet. They have the lights on the lanes and the music is not to loud for anyone that would find it uncomfortable. I have an Autistic child and would recommend this place for bowling if you have a child that can't cope with busy places. The only down side is you have to go upstairs to inform of a lane fault if there are no staff downstairs. This has only happened twice in all the times we have been going so it not to annoying. Great place to take the family

We visited to take our children bowling and swimming. The centre is very welcoming with extremely helpful and friendly staff. Everywhere was lovely and clean and bright . The cost of the activities are very reasonable and we all had a great time. Although we live in Eastbourne we will definitely choose here over our nearer facilities and having visited a few times we are seriously considering joining as a family. Something we will be enquiring about very soon hopefully !!

We discovered this wonderful leisure centre after living nearby for 3 years! The grandchildren wanted to go bowling and we were not looking forward to going to the big bowling centres in Brighton or Eastbourne. Then we noticed this place. What a find! It's so family friendly and has a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are brilliant and it is just what we were looking for. The 10 lanes can all be hired out for a bowling party or you can hire out one lane and still have a party there. Our grandchildren loved it and are desperate to return. Says it all!

Soft play is very plain and simple here! Not much to do - my 3 year old gets bored after 10 minutes. It can get very busy here and as parents are responsible for their own children, older children run riot and when we have been we have had to leave as it's got far too rough for my daughter

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you did not have a 5 star experience. Since your comment was made we have made various changes to the soft play to make it as enjoyable and as interactive as possible and we have also reduced the total capacity that we allow to enter during peak times to ensure the area does not get to busy.
kind regards

I came with a friend and two under 2s. It’s a lovely, clean soft play with a separate under 3s area with lots to do. Our boys enjoyed both areas and it wasn’t too busy. Nice cafe alongside it and good access to toilets. Nice and secure to stop them escaping and a good seating area. The only issue was it was a bit on the cold side. A good temperature for older children running around but a bit cold for the adults and younger children.

We took our 4 children here for a family get together.
Haven't laughed so much in ages.
We only booked the one game as thought they would be bored after 30/40 minutes but had to book a second as they were having such fun.
The dark room with all the lights made for such a great atmosphere.
Staff are so friendly too which makes such a difference.
