Hetton Community Pool & Wellness Centre - Houghton le Spring

The gym is OK when it's quiet, but as it's quite a small gum, when it's busy, you find yourself waiting around for equipment to become available.

As for swimming, it's rather pointless due to public swimming times being very limited.

The biggest benefit to this gym is the friendly staff and how close the gym is to my home.

But sadly, you'll pay over the top for what you actually get, a small gym area, and little to no swimming time.

If you are employed, you'd be better off going to a different gym.

I'd be happy to write a positive review about Hetton Community Pool and Wellness Center!

From the moment I walked into the center, I was struck by how clean and well-maintained the facilities were. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they were happy to answer any questions I had about the center's amenities.

The pool itself is fantastic. It's a great size, and the water temperature is perfect for swimming. The pool area is also well-lit, which makes it easy to see where you're going and what you're doing. I especially appreciated the fact that there were plenty of lane markers, which made it easy to navigate around other swimmers.

In addition to the pool, the center offers a variety of other wellness amenities, such as a fully-equipped gym, a sauna, and a steam room. I really enjoyed the gym, which had a great selection of equipment and was kept very clean.

Overall, I would highly recommend Hetton Community Pool and Wellness Center to anyone looking for a great place to swim, work out, and relax. The facilities are top-notch, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the sense of community is truly something special.

Hetton swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff. The building is bright and cheerful, the changing facilities are clean with plenty of changing cubicles. The great thing about the pool water is it's not scarily cold to get into. I swim now on a regular basis and would definitely recommend this centre highly.

Pretty good gym. Very reliable. Staff are not friendly but I don’t go there to chat. It’s clean and the treadmills all work. I’ve never been convinced about the purple ‘disinfectant’ but that’s been replaced by antiseptic wipes which I’m sure will do a better job. Just remember that bacteria and virus become immune to methods of cleaning so alternating weekly or monthly (at the least) is required to have any effect. Removed one star as there is constantly unaccompanied children ‘working out’ on the machines.

I visited Hetton Community Pool twice during my vacation in Houghton-Le-Spring.

The staff are nice and warm both in person and over the phone.

The pool is big warm and clean, the environment is convenient and spotless.

Because I am not able to pay for the monthly membership using my foreign credit card, they didn't charge me, this is very kind.

Thank you.

The pool is beautiful, spacious and clean. Staff are polite and very helpful. The changing rooms are always being swept and hosed down especially after swim classes. I can recommend certainly
