It is nice that Better Woolwich Wave service centre we will visit again, respect for the team, it was nice to come for the first time, asked to show the premises. gladly showed and explained.

Not very convenient
Woolwich Waves is beautiful however, the layout of was not well thought of. The corridor for dropping or picking up is always crowded because there is not enough room and separation for those who have finished their lesson and those about to start.
Furthermore, there is no hanging hooks for coats as it was at Waterfront. Guardians have to exit the turnstile carrying coats to watch their children and having to enter again. Not very convenient.

Issue with Woolwich waves centre
The new Woolwich waves centre (that opened in Jan 2026) had refundable £1 lockers in the swim changing room which was great. I had suggested this feature. But now, mid Feb 2026, these have changed to 20p tokens. Members have to use a bank card to buy a token from a machine at the entrance. The token is retained. How is this an improvement? Very unhappy.

Hello Anji,
Thank you for providing your feedback regarding the lockers at Woolwich Waves.
I have been advised by the centre manager that the lockers originally installed were mistakenly placed by the contractor.
These have since been replaced with non-refundable 20p lockers.
I acknowledge that this change may cause confusion and frustration, and I apologise if the new system does not meet your expectations.
The centre has attempted to clarify this by displaying signage about the changes; however, I understand that this may not entirely alleviate the inconvenience experienced.
Kind regards

Whilst still new a few teething issues....it would be nice if some people using the changing facilities would then use the provided lockers...rather than storing their clothes in the changing rooms....it's selfish to other users. But other than that all good.

Woolwich Residents Must Do Better
Until the recent transition to Woolwich Waves, during my two years going to Waterfront Leisure 5 days a week, most patrons were disorganized and inconsiderate. There was no conception of individual responsibility and order. They would not pick up after themselves, which meant the person coming after them to deal with their mess if they were to use the space/equipment. A few regulars were consistently on illegal psychoactive drugs. Through no fault of the staff, the weight and functional fitness rooms were consistently a mess, with equipment everywhere else but where it was meant to be. Additionally, it was common occurrence for non-patrons to sneak in or use someone else's membership to get past the gates. The facility was overall well-equipped and a great fitness space for the price, however it was clearly not appreciated by the patrons which detracted from the overall experience for the reasons mentioned before. Do NOT come here if you are looking for a serious workout space that pertains to gym etiquette -- it is meant for the masses, and that is what you will find.

Hello
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed comments and feedback with us.
We sincerely regret to learn that your experience at Woolwich Waves has not been satisfactory, as such behaviour is not in line with our standards.
It is disappointing to note that some gym members did not demonstrate proper gym etiquette.
Regarding the concerns about members consistently using illegal psychoactive substances and non-members gaining unauthorised access to the facilities, I have forwarded this information to the centre manager for further review.
We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention, as your feedback will assist us in making improvements.
Kind regards
Wonderful Woolwich Waves
A fantastic centre, enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors, helpful customer care staff and plenty of cleaners. Only let down by poor Wi-Fi making it hard to get through the entrance barriers.

Disappointed
I was very disappointed with the new pool. I loved waterfront for swim for fitness then jumping in the sauna and jacuzzi Str8 after for 10 to 15 minutes daily. with the new sauna. once a month luxury if that. high prices.No discounted sauna membership for disability benefits. Very cold getting out of pool. Poor layout for entry and exit into pool.

Woolwich waves is a great place
Woolwich waves is a great place. Spacious, clean and welcoming. Plenty of staff although maybe not in the gym a lot of the time. We are happy with the cost of our memberships which suits us. There does seem to have been a mass drive to recruit members because the gym can be so packed you cannot use the equipment you want. The use of the pool by school groups is great except they are given three-quarters of the pool and day time swimmers are squashed in thin lanes, not a great experience. Lockers and toilets plentiful. It might become necessary to return to bookings for sessions but that never worked at the Waterfront.

- Facilities are great. All brand new and with the latest tech machines.
- Classes are also good. Big range of them.
- App is not that friendly. So many clicks to get to your different placing including booking, or to book a class. When you look at Your Waitlist is giving the date when you tried to book instead of the actually class details (date and time of the class).
