Poor level of customer service
Poor level of customer service. Swim school have been inconsistent in the teaching of my 6 year old twins with their records not updated correctly and achievements not documented.
Assessments completed at a lower level than 5 months prior which to me shows the school is not well managed in the slightest much to the detriment of my children who can swim much better than they are currently being taught at due to the failings of the swim school recording.

Kids swimming lessons at Reading Rivermead Leisure centre
Great facilities which are not utilised properly. 10 kids are jammed in a tiny area with no space left to swim! How do you expect them to learn?? Kids' progress is not updated at all. Thankfully I managed to move my child to another centre, where he quickly progressed. I should have transferred him sooner!

Belongings are not safe
I left my shoes and socks in the designated strorage area before going into the swimming pool changing area and they were stolen. Better refused to accept any responsibility despite no notices warning that items are left at owners risk.
Edit: Better have since offered to refund the cost of replacement shoes - thank you!

Great gym
It is my favourite gym. They have Technogym which is superior to other brands. I love the buzz with all the weekend events. The management listens to concerns which is highly important to feel included when you have little interaction with people in the gym

Resources were better than expected
Resources were better than expected. Lots of plus signs eg. Cleanliness , receptionist very helpful, changing facilities very good, swimming pool warm, gym equipment certainly above average.
Two areas that could be improved without too much effort 1. Only one swimming costume spinner( should be at least two for size of facility) and it was not working! Had a black coffee in cafe - truly awful; two sips and left it. By the way, saw a young chap take a sandwich and drink without paying - staff (briefly ) not at counter -suggest not making the sandwich and soft drinks so easy to take without paying.

Rivermead Reading.
Rivermead Reading.
The facilities, especially the spin studio, are consistently poorly maintained. The lights and air-conditioning rarely work properly, and many of the bike saddles are loose or wobble. It’s obvious that building maintenance is not a priority for them.
I paid a year up front and and they repeatedly added incorrect “non-attendance” fees for classes I actually attended. Because of these errors, I was unable to book classes for a total of around eight weeks during my prepaid annual membership, all due to faulty barriers. Removing these charges always took far too long, whether it was in person or on email and despite raising the issue multiple times, head office still hasn’t resolved my complaint.
Overall, a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this gym to anyone.

Really sorry to be leaving
I am leaving Reading. One of my greatedt regrets is stopping my membership of Rivermead leisur centre. The facilities are good, the staff friendly and capable. The variety of classes excellent. Only problem would be the difficulty in getting on the more popular classes, like yoga and circuits.
However the value is terrific. I was getting 2yoga sessions 2 functional fitness classes 2 swimming sessions and 3 additional gym sessions a week for under £40 a month. Can't be bad. Greatly reccomend
