Yoga class in the evening is amazing
Yoga class in the evening is amazing. Very helpful and thoughtful instructor.
Sadly, the toilets were not well-serviced and the women’s loos didn’t have any paper.

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.

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.

Most importantly, she resolved our issue quickly and efficiently.

Sincerely excellent service.

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.

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!

Swimming class 4- 5 year olds
My 4 year has been having weekly swimming lessons in the training pool with Wendy and her team for over a year now and her progress has been brilliant. Her confidence has improved and she's now able to go under water and swim with support. The staff are great and patient, especially Holly. The instructors get in the water with the kids but push them to try things out of their comfort zone and have fun at the same time. I also appreciate the discipline of the class which creates a serious, yet fun, and safe environment.

Hi Jessica,
I hope this message finds you well!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words! We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your daughter's remarkable progress and the growing confidence she is developing in the water. It truly warms our hearts to see her flourish.
Our team, including Wendy, Holly, and the rest of our dedicated instructors, invests a great deal of time and effort into creating a nurturing and engaging environment for all our young learners. We believe that swimming should be a joyous experience, and we strive to ensure that every child feels supported as they explore their abilities.
We particularly appreciate your recognition of the balance we work hard to maintain. It's vital for us to encourage children to challenge themselves while ensuring that every lesson is conducted in a safe, structured, and enjoyable manner. We understand that each child progresses at their own pace, and we take pride in tailoring our approach to fit their individual needs.
Thank you once again for your continued support and trust in our program. We are excited to see even more progress in the weeks ahead and look forward to celebrating your daughter’s achievements together!
Warm regards,
