Great first swimming experience for my child
My child had their first swimming session at Arcadia Library & Leisure Centre and it was a very positive experience from start to finish. The teachers were extremely helpful, patient, and friendly, which made my child feel comfortable and confident in the water. The session was well organised and the staff created a welcoming environment for both children and parents. My child really enjoyed the lesson and is already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for swimming lessons for children.

Bad,uncaring company.
I have been asked by email to leave a review of my customer service experience. I have in fact cancelled my membership and I told customer service why. In the confirmation email it states cancellation reason - unknown. I stated clearly why I was cancelling. At an appointment for a weights induction I got a £60 parking fine. I have a blue badge. But there is a new system where I was supposed to inform reception my reg. I didn't know that and Better customer service didn't care. I asked for him to cancel my membership and he kept telling me I could do it more quickly on the app. I had to insist he do it. Why would he want me to end the call, pick up the app to do a job he could do?
At the appointment I was told to wait in the library. 20 mins after my time I went to reception and asked if I had been forgotten? They sent someone up to the guy I was meeting. He asked why I didn't just come straight up stairs. But I said was was told to wait down here. Is Better a complete mess?
Now I am left appealing the parking company. That day and my experience with Better customer service has just left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I have now had another 2 parking fines which total £300 I cannot afford to pay these as I am living on disability payments. I have no idea of who to turn to and I notice Better say nothing of this in their response.

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for your review.
We are sorry to hear you have cancelled your membership.
When cancelling, our system does not have all the reasons for cancellations, so if it is not on the options, it may be stated it is unknown and then a manual note, which is available internally can be added with the reason.
We do not take cancellations over the phone, so when cancelling we would direct customers to the app to cancel and they can also email us requesting to cancel.
We are sorry your experience was not how it should have been and we thank you for your feedback.
Warm Regards

The place is an absolute scam with…
The place is an absolute scam with 'managers' who don't have a clue. They are taking my elderly mother for a ride - who has been a loyal customer for a long time. She has accrued several parking tickets for sessions where she was entitled to park (which can be proven and will be proven to a court).
They keep saying they'll rescind the violation but the parking company say they have received no such request. Every time we go in to resolve this there is a different manager on shift and that manager is never available. They are literally lying to a 70 year told women repeatedly, convincing her they will help her, while allowing the parking agency to refer her to a debt collection agency. DO NOT FALL INTO THEIR CYCLE OF SCAMMING

Hello Imam,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re truly sorry to hear about the difficulties your mother has experienced regarding parking and the lack of support from our team.
This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating this situation must be for both of you.
Please rest assured that we take these concerns seriously. We would like to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Could you kindly email us at [customerservices@gll.org] with the following details:
• Your mother’s membership number or booking reference
• Copies of the parking tickets
• Any previous correspondence regarding this issue
Once we have this information, we will liaise directly with the parking company and ensure the violations are addressed appropriately. We will also review our internal processes to prevent similar issues in the future.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this.

Half an hour a week for a kid is not enough to learn how to swim plus keep changing the swimming teacher not helping either

Good Afternoon Wazir,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience at Arcadia Library and Leisure Centre. We understand how important consistent and safe swimming lessons are for your child, and we regret that the frequent changes in instructors and limited lesson time have caused frustration.
Your concern about safety during lessons is very serious, and we will review this immediately with the local team to ensure proper supervision and experienced instructors are in place. We aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for all learners, and your comments will help us improve.
If you’d like, please email us at [customerserivces@gll.org] with your booking details (Order Reference: BET7037600) so we can look into this further and discuss possible solutions, such as additional lesson options or instructor consistency.
We appreciate your patience and hope to restore your confidence in our service.
Kind Regards.

Honestly
Honestly, this is one of the worst-managed gyms I’ve used. There aren’t enough machines, everything feels overcrowded, and the changing rooms constantly smell of urine. It’s disgusting and shows a real lack of care for members. The place seriously needs a deep clean and better maintenance.

I joined my 13 year old to gym and swim, started on the 14th September. It baffles me that he cannot come to the gym till and induction is done, which is not the problem. The problem is that there is no one available to do induction with my son for a week or 2. You happily take my money but now I have to wait and waste 2 weeks before my son can come to gym? I expect a reimbursement for the time/days my son waits to start gym. I would have given 0 starts but that was not an option 😡

Hi Ayaan,
Thanks for your review.
Due to health and safety, all junior members must complete an induction before they are permitted to use the gym.
This is for their safety and the safety of others and without this they are unable to take part in junior gym sessions.
All junior memberships include swimming, which does not require an induction, so if no induction sessions are available, they can utilise the swimming part of their membership, therefore no refund would be due.
We have emailed the centre on your behalf to see if they can accomodate an induction any sooner.
Alternatively, as the membership provides area-wide access, you can go to a different centre in your area and complete the induction there.
Warm Regards
Hazal
