Paint flakes have been dropping to the bottom of the adult pool since as long as I can remember. They are never hoovered up. This week, finally, Better installed a pontoon on the pool and built a tower. However, they did not fix the ceiling - they installed a sensor! The anger and disappointment among the regulars at the pool today was palpable. When will Better fix the ceiling and hoover the debri from the bottom of the pool? They possibly comprise a health risk.
Update: the paint flakes were removed overnight from the bottom of the pool. Much appreciated. Please do this regularly as the ceiling paint is continually falling into the pool. Thank you.
Update: paint flakes once more on the bottom of the pool. Better: please repair the ceiling ASAP - you have shown that you can erect a scaffolding on the pool. Failing that, please hoover building debri off the floor of the pool on a regular basis. It is concerning to see a pool full of children with paint debri on the bottom of the pool.
Update 1 Feb 2025: there are paint flakes from the ceiling at the bottom of the pool. The pool is full of children and a pregnant woman. The paint from the ceiling may be from the 1980s and looks water-based, so it is not unreasonable to suppose that the swimming pool water is a very dilute solution of components of paint. It is unclear to me why Better continues to take health risks with its customers. It has shown it is able to erect a tall scaffolding tower, as it recently installed a sensor on the ceiling of the swimming pool. Why is it not possible to erect a tower to strip and repaint the ceiling above the swimming pool - or even install a fine net to catch the falling building materials?

Pro: amazing pool and staff
Con:
The paint on the ceiling of the main pool and children’s pool has been flaking into the pool for months and, for months, there have been flakes of paint all over the bottom of the pool. This is a possible health hazard, particularly if the paint is water-soluble (unknown). While it may not be in the operator’s control to fix the ceiling, it can and must as a matter of urgency clear the debri from the bottom of the pool EVERY DAY.
Update 21 August 2025: the situation is now very much better. While the ceiling is still peeling, there is seldom debri at the bottom of the pool. Bravo.

I LOVE Swiss Cottage sports centre!
The pool is fabulous - especially as the two slow lanes are kept extra wide for nervous swimmers.
I love the cafe which serves good salads.
I love the atmosphere of the place which is vibrant with people of all ages and for the children there’s the new jungle gym.
And I love the fact you have to swipe in at the front desk and actually say hello to someone. The staff are really helpful and look happy to work there.
I now look forward to coming to swim and work out, and to catching up on work with a cup of tea in the cafe afterwards.
This is a seriously good community space! And it’s connected to the library (Swiss Cottage library is to die for if you’re a reader!); and there’s plenty of bike rack space.
Thank you ! Seriously well thought out space, really well run.

Women spaces are not transgender space!
I have been a customer of better gyms for around 2.5 years now and today I had a lovely yoga class by Maria in better gym Swiss Cottage at 12.45 pm class. After the class, to our surprise, there is a man who changed in the women changing room!
When we asked him to leave, he insisted that he is identified as a woman and already changed his id with better gym therefore he has the right to use the women changing room.
He was a full blown man!!! And not a transgender woman! All of us women felt quite violated and there is nothing the on site management can do but to send a complaint email to swiss.cottage at gll.org
We were all flabbergasted by the on site management team inability to respond to protect us the women!
What if there is a violent situation in women’s bathroom caused by these perverts?
Does Camden council ( the management team of swiss cottage better) ready to take the risk of women suing them if there’s act violence happening within the women bathroom changing space? Does it need to go to that to make them realised that women, biological women need their private space?
Why can’t they build the transsexual private space? Why the women member has to be the one who subjected and oppressed in the name of inclusion of LGBTQ community??
If this matters not handled correctly, I will start talking to journalist and mp to investigate this.
The women members are NOT OK with this decisions!
P.S : I already send a complaint to swiss cottage gll email. I will ask other women to make same review here in trust pilot if this issue not taken care of. I am not willing to give out my information via trust pilot.

I have mixed feelings about the class. It is great to be in the water with my baby, and the pool was not too cold for her. The pool and the changing rooms were not dirty, although outdated and worn. The instructors felt a bit overstretched, probably doing too many classes in a row as they do not seem to engage with the babies or parents too much and repeating the tasks a bit like it is a factory.
My biggest issue however is the complete lack of adequate facilities for changing babies before and after the class (and I mean not only changing nappies, but to change their clothes, too). The lift has been out of order for weeks, which means the buggies cannot be taken downstairs. In the group changing rooms adjacent to the kids pool there is no safe and spacious enough surface to leave your baby while you change, let alone for changing them. It is even more difficult when several mums and babies are trying to get ready.
Overall it is not a bad class for the money it costs, but you get what you pay for.

I am pleasantly surprised by the high quality kit of the gym. It is by far the best I have come accross and I have been a member at GymBox and PureGym.

Awful awful awful. Bought gym membership for my son and I so we could both workout at the weekends. Never able to even book him an induction, let alone manage to actually book a space at any of the gyms in our area, and now trying to cancel the membership but it seems impossible.

Not sure why I am bothering giving you this feedback (AGAIN) as you do not deliver any improvements...
The Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre water fountain by the pool doesn't work and hasn't done so for SIX MONTHS!
FIX IT!!!
The whole pool area and changing rooms need attention too = V tired and dirty
I wouldn't be a member if there were alternative facilities in the area.
You have a LOT to improve in this centre

The badminton court wasn’t set up so we had to set it up and lost a good 5 minutes. That is a lot from the 40 minutes the booking is for…
Unfortunately the 3rd time in a row this happens as the staff seems under equipped, under motivated, and little managed to improve on this meaningfully. :(

I've been in this gym for over a decade and the present manager, Louis South, is very aware of the overall aspect of all concerns. He is sharp and quick to respond to matters to make the place a very friendly family oriented atmosphere for people of all ages and all walks of life.
Of course I am talking about the Swiss Cottage branch.
Many thanks for catering for my concerns.
Kind Regards
