Great staff. Give them a better reception desk!
Great staff, very helpful and knowledgeable.
The reception staff have a poky little temporary desk to sit at. It gives a strange impression for me as a first time user
You have this beautiful building and an impressive view of the pool at the entrance, spoiled by a makeshift desk which looks like it cost £20 from B&Q. Your great staff deserve something better!

Don't come to this pool
Don't come to this pool. It used to be great and for the past 3 years I've been coming here, but now? They keep renting the pool at peak hours and the amount of times I've been kicked out of the pool for clubs hiring it, or because they're doing classes and close 3 lanes and leave people from swimming extremely slow to quite fast, altogether. It's just not worth the money, nor the time. I will definitely stop coming and would not recommend.

Called this morning to ask if stopped by I could see the spa facilities as I wanted to book in for my partners birthday. I was told absolutely. I came in and was told I could not see the facilities. I certainly appreciate there may be sensitive areas but they weren’t willing to show me any of the facilities nor did they offer any customer service like welcoming me or even chatting about what was available. I’ve had plenty of gym and swimming area tours when you join a gym so I’m not sure how this is any different. I just wanted to make sure the facility was nice enough for a birthday present.

Umma (on reception) is always kind and welcoming, and today took time to do on her computer what I could not achieve on my phone, with same info. She even went into her break time to do it. And help me work through the different memberships that might be right for me. A superstar… other swimmers were patient behind me and the pool was peaceful and almost empty. Thank you Umma!

Good gym, poor showers
The gym is very good and well equipped but the changing rooms and especially the showers aren't great. I understand the need for push taps but the period between pushes is ridiculously short meaning you basically have to shower with one hand holding the tap in and the water pressure isn't great either

Exceptional Swimming Team
My grandchild was so
nervous about going swimming lessons because he couldn’t swim and was scared of the water until he met the Lead swimming teacher, Wendy who was amazing. She made him feel relaxed, welcoming, preparing him by explaining what to expect, taking time to allow him to respond when ready. She was patient, calm, clear, humorous and gave short, clear instructions making sure he was happy and able to follow every instruction. He covered a variety of techniques, skills and was swimming well during the lesson and in the next lesson.
Wendy asked one of her team, Reewa, swimming teacher to take over, she was brilliant, she taught him further different swimming styles and breathing techniques, he was good and very happy, he enjoyed his lesson.
I have made friends, family, colleagues aware of the excellent swimming team at Ironmonger and anyone can join, young to elderly. Wendy and Reewa are exceptional, going above and beyond to help children swim and making it fun for them. Wendy and Reewa, you couldn’t get any one as great as them and the team.

Sincerely excellent service.
Thank you, Umma!

DREADFUL RECEPTIONIST AND MANAGER
Upset Iron monger stopped free ladies mornings.
I came last week to spa and the manager of iron monger a very unpleasant lady dark hair came told me I can no longer access the spa due to some technical issues . A Pakistani girl who is receptionist very miserable and arrogant called her manager when I grew upset because I was I could no longer access the spa without paying £50 which is crazy. They refused access to me very unpleasant and rude.

Hi VH,
Thanks for your review.
We have spoken to the centre who have confirmed that due to an error on our systems, some customers were getting free access to our Women's only sessions.
This was flagged and rectified which is why a charge is now applicable.
The centre confirmed they refunded your last session as a goodwill gesture, but going forward if you do wish to attend these sessions you will need to pay or upgrade your membership to one that includes spa access.
Warm Regards

Spa Experience
Visited the Spa on Wednesday and all I can say is WOW.
We had two hours to use the facilities, there are different saunas and steam rooms, tropical showers, plunge pool and a relaxation area.
I also had a 45 minute massage which was unreal. The staff were amazing and made us feel so comfortable throughout our visit
To top it off, the entire spa was spotless. From each feature within the spa to the showers and changing areas.
Can’t wait to come back. Thank you!
