Good facilities, nice staff but short swim lessons
Our daughter and son are doing swimming lessons at Kentish Town Sports Center. The facilities are good, nice and welcoming staff, very pleased with that.
One negative aspect is that the lesson is too short for the number of kids in the water. Considering the whole process, Kids get a short workout and progresses are really slow.
I suggest the class should be at least 45mins long to have more benefits.

Hi Pasquale,
Thanks for your review.
We are so pleased to hear that your children are enjoying the classes at Kentish Town Sports Centre!
We have found that children get the most out of a 30 minute class and they can start to lose focus if classes are much longer. When students do move up to Academy, these classes are 45 minute long, so when your children have advanced, they will be able to attend longer lessons.
Warm Regards
Hazal
In it for the classes
Love the classes with some great instructors - so far I have Penney and Irina's classes have been great and they are also lovely people! Definitely recommend.

Unprofessional Service and No Communication
I took my daughter to her swimming lesson in Kentish Town yesterday at 3pm, only to be told at the door that the class had been cancelled. We received no message, no email, no update — nothing. They simply waited for us to arrive to let us know. My daughter was excited all day for her lesson and left completely disappointed.
They told me I would receive an email the same day regarding a refund, but nothing has arrived. Very poor communication and highly unprofessional service. I expected much better.

Hello Bruna,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your daughter’s swimming lesson and the lack of communication around it.
We understand how disappointing this must have been for both of you, and this is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We’re currently reviewing what happened to ensure this doesn’t occur again.
Regarding your refund, the swim school will be in contact with you to offer a replacement lesson or a refund for that cancelled lesson.
Kind Regards
Friendly
Everyone who worked at Kentish was absolutely amazing - very friendly and helpful. Wanted us to have a good experience (unlike some other Leisure centers I've been to in London). Facilities are a bit tired but not horrible.

Kentish Town Gym is a great community…
Kentish Town Gym is a great community centre with a brilliant timetable of classes. Polina is an incredible asset to the team and when she's not running her tough but fun Circuit classes, she's tidying up, showing new members how to (safely) use the equipment and being on hand to give workout advice. Some of the Pilates/Yoga classes are overbooked and getting mat space can be problematic... maybe a couple more sessions (plus core) would help...but it's a generally positive place to visit.

Great place to swim
I go swimming in the Kentish Town Grafton pool twice a week and I really enjoy it. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the pool is clean and bright, they offer lessons and women only sessions which are both really helpful, and there is enough space in the changing rooms which are generally clean as well. The showers are hot, there is a small machine to wring out your swimming costume well, they have disabled changing rooms and equipment and have noodles and other swimming aids.
I would have given it five stars but there are only four showers in the women's changing rooms and one is always out of order it seems. So there is often a queue, which can become quite cold in the winter.

Kentish town pools are some of the best London pools. First of all, especially when compared to Cally Pool and Archway, they are clean, so are the changing rooms.
Second, the pools are lovely looking and swimming teachers seem nice.
During the swimming lessons, parents can sit and watch from behind a glass window.

Nice place for a workout at Kentish Town Leisure Centre
I enjoy going to the gym. However there are a few things that could be. improved:
1. The adductor/abductor machine is still out of order.
2. The leg press is still out of order.
3. The water fountain by the studio is out of order.
4. The touchpoints at the ends of the swimming pool lanes could do with a clean.
Otherwise all is good.

At the moment it seems no one is managing or care about the gym. Some of the equipments are broken. One of the leg presses out of order at least for three months. The place looks dirty and untidy . The toilet smells very bad and the shower area looked never been cleaned for a while. One of the water fountain is not working and the other the filer is not changed for sometime despite I mentioned it couple of times Generally the gym / the center needs active managers to address all the issues I mentioned. .
