Nice but small gym
I’ve just joined, it’s nice, a bit small. The pool is fantastic. But the big shortfall is that you have to book (like in Covid times). I know it’s only a small thing but at my last gym you could just rock up. Booking adds a layer of stress to make your ten minute window. It would be greatly improved if you could just go.

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your review!
We're happy that you're enjoying the gym facilities at our Ironmonger Row Baths.
We require our members to book in advance to help prevent a session from being overcrowded.
This is also for health and safety purposes to ensure that all our members are accounted for.

Super customer support from Umma
Umma was so helpful in helping me find the correct membership for my situation. The facilities are kept clean and the feeling at Ironmonger rows is of a valued community resource. Thank you

On becoming a member
Due to the temporary closure of Golden Lane I was offered a transfer membership for older people and yesterday I availed myself of it.
The process was very easy with staff member Umma being a very helpful, kind and knowledgeable. The facilities look inviting and I am keen to start using them

Very good experience as just transfered…
Very good experience as just transfered from another sports centre. I had two accounts and Umma I think her name was really helpful in sorting out this issue and my first time at the centre. Especially, wirh app and scanning and a coin for the locker. Not to mention Shen I came out after a swim I mentioned some locker and electrical fault issue. The next day the socket which was hanging off was repaired!

I am a long term user (swimming) and very satisfied (I go off- peak). The pool is clean and clear virtually all of the time. The ground floor changing room/showers need more regular cleaning though - it's got worse in the last few years.
I have just completed the membership transfer from Golden Lane, and was given super service by Umma, when there were a lot of grumpy, impatient people doing the same as me. She calmly dealt with each person, never rushing them, whilst completing a number of complicated registration steps. Well done. People at the reception area are very helpfull/friendly in general as well.

Temporarily in London
I'm a foreigner staying temporarily in London. I am preparing for a swimming event and had the need to keep training while here. I was told about Better and when I tried to sign in everything was very easy. I'm attending the swimming pool three times a week and I feel very at ease. It is also very interesting to know that the Iromonger Row Baths were built in 1931, this gives the swimming pool a very special atmosphere.

The thing is
The thing is, I ordered a membership card and got sick very soon. I visited the pool only once this month. This is not about the quality of the services - they work perfectly. It's just something that upsets me.

The swimming instructors were great, friendly, helpful and excellent with children.
Nonetheless the changing rooms are quite rundown, a better maintenance while waiting a refurbished will be most appreciated.

A better experience.
The renovated Ironmonger Row Baths provide a truly special experience. I work in south Islington and frequently make my way there. I actually rejoined Better very recently as I was impressed with the improvements to the facilities and the services offered. It also pays to be a member as the value increases that way. The staff are efficient, polite and friendly. Multiple rooms prevent overcrowding and the booking system does too, although the space is in so much demand that it is hard to make a weekend booking. Places are “sold out” almost a week in advance. I have been there many times in the past and was a member before the pandemic. While the prices have increased quite a bit since, I can tell why. It is a better experience.
