South Woodham Ferrers Leisure Centre Reviews

Andy Richardson

Great venue for a car show well organised too
Matthew Barrett

Nice clean facilities, friendly staff on reception, free parking. Booked tennis for an hour - £10 for the court, £6 for the racket hire and balls, then booked badminton for an hour for £12. Will definitely be back

The recent additions to this community gym have really modernised and brought in a fresh appearance, making it even easier to spend more time in this very friendly and uses easy contactless access to the gym.

The access times should be revised by anyone looking to join, as access is shared with the William De Ferrers school. There is chart music played in the area with music videos on screen too, as well as Air conditioning, water filling station and anti bac stations. Sadly there are no lockers, changing facilities or showers available with the gym.

There is however a great swimming pool on site which is included within the membership, and has isolated changing cubicles and group showering facilities for anyone who is swimming.

Courts, swim sessions and excercise classes book up fast, so its advisable to book well in advance to ensure you get in as there is limited spaces with most activities.

There are food and drink vending machines on site with a seating area, and a viewing platform for swimming competitions and events too. Staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, Brian gives great induction classes on sign up or taster days. 🏋️‍♂️💪🤸‍♂️

We had our son's 5th birthday party here, and chose the inflatable obstacle course and bouncy castle party. The kids had an amazing time - sweaty faces and smiles all round! The party was really good value too - for up to 30 kids (we had 17 in the end) it was £230 - for this we got the whole sports hall, with a lovely inflatable obstacle course and bouncy castle (for 1 hour), 3 nice young people who watched the kids to make sure they were being safe, and a party room (also for an hour), which had been laid out nicely with a happy birthday banner, a little disco light, some balloons, tables, chairs and colorful plastic tablecloths. They really made a lovely effort, which we weren't expecting! We just added some music with a big bluetooth speaker, and it made for an awesome party.

The staff were also really accommodating - we had asked them to set up a table so we could offer some drinks in the sports hall, and asked if they had an urn we could borrow for the parents to have tea and coffee, chairs for parents to sit on, etc, and they provided all of this (and set it up for us) at no additional cost.

Highly recommend!

Small gym here and a decent size swimming pool.
Note that the gym is not open to general public during school days.

Great pool, never had an issue here

Very good mulitsex changing rooms, good sized kids pool and large main pool with many lifeguards looking out for you. The spectator area is a nice addition for those not swimming. Very warm inside the pool area.
