My daughter and friends attended two free activities this weekend the roller disco and the assault course pool activity...they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and can't wait to attend again...a big thank u and well done to the people who arranged everything as it was a big hit and something very much needed for children x

Lovely friendly staff. The pool was superb. I can't wait to get started on the Aqua Aerobics. The joining process was very easy. I'm impressed. You can always tell how good somewhere is by the attitude of the staff and the clients. Everyone was happy when I was there which creates a good impression.

I've recently started early morning body pump 3 times a week at 6.15am. Initially I thought I would struggle however the camaraderie, positivity, motivation and enthusiasm of the teacher's is brilliant. Thank you instructors and hopefully the Monday morning class will continue. Love it!!

I work for 1Life so I might be biased, but having relocated to Leighton Buzzard and joined Tiddenfoot, I can certainly say it's an excellent facility.

The classes are great, the staff are personable and surely the fact that it's overcrowded occasionally is actually a sign of its good service and quality?

I have been a member for 2 years. I partake in Spin, Combat, Pump, Pump Express and CXWorks. I find the staff on reception, Jeanette, Debbie and Lucy to be very helpful and friendly but I LOVE the Instructors. Debbie, Danielle, Chrissy, Jane and Lizzie are amazing. Motivational and Inspiring. Well done Tiddenfoot.

I been going from the start of February and all the staff are so friendly and helpful. I had a stroke in the summer time. And on my return to the leisure centre some of my friends who work there have left and new people have started. All new and old staff have been looking after me and helping me to recover from my stroke. I would like to say a big thanks for carman for helping me with my balance in the gym. I will be back to continue my balance in the gym.

Holly is by far one of the best aqua teachers around she realises when people are struggling with some of the movements she also makes the lesson fun as well

As working you hard . I am from the Milton Keynes one but will be coming over to Leighton when I can to do hollys classes ! A real credit to your team ! On the other hand you should make sure your doors are shut from the pool to reception as it was freezing in there last night !

Friendly staff, great classes and facilities at the leisure centre! Crèche is amazing as I'm a mum of two boys with no family close by I am able to have an hour work out while by boys are looked after in a fantastic soft play area with amazing staff! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of using!

Fantastic place.Great pool and gym.Lovely, friendly and helpful staff.Definitely worth a visit.

I went swimming over the weekend with my 5 and 2 year old it was our first time here. I asked a few questions about best time to go, cost, where I could put my buggy ( I asked on Facebook messenger) and got very prompt reply with all info needed.

We used the small training pool and it was perfect for my 2. Lots of little floats for them to use and the temp was good. I have 4 stars and not 5 because the changing rooms were disgustingly dirty. Dirty nappy in 1 family changing room And some dirty looking foam on the floor of another. M we found a semi clean family changing room in the end. Over all we all enjoyed our selfs and will be back. Hopefully the changing rooms will be clean.

Please can someone do something about the aircon in the gym please. Walked in today and it was the same temperature as the reception!

It amazes me how many people, mainly parents , walk into the swimming pool changing rooms without putting the blue shoe covers on, whilst the children are walking round barefoot. A tiny scratch on the foot and then the muddy shoes with goodness knows what might be on them and a child could end of with septis. Please can there be, first of all more blue covers, and secondly staff at the entrance ensuring the rules are adhered to.

Good value and convenient for a quick swim. Boisterous teenage boys were a distraction as I'm not a confident swimmer and felt a bit uncomfortable as they were chucking a ball about into the swim lanes. Not a big issue but worth mentioning. It was nice to have three lanes set out though!

Only swimming pool we have in the town and the changing facilities are in need of a complete refit. The showers are far too hot for youngsters or far too cold - depending which one you try!

The open plan changing suite is not nice and there are not enough family changing rooms.

Both pools are too cold, this should be improved in the baby pool especially.

When you enter the changing area, it is very cold, perhaps better doors to keep heat in could be thought about if there is another million pound investment. There is often a stench of raw sewerage in the corner changing rooms and it took 7 weeks for a light bulb to be replaced.



Staff not very knowledgable when asking questions about opening times, costs & trying to get children's swim lessons ? Well - book a space as soon as you conceive and you may get a call back at some point in the future.

Or you may not. Not sure what systems they operate but it doesn't seem very compatible with staff using it.



The coffee shop was well stocked but found the furniture in that area not very comfortable.

There has also been a leak and area is wet and sectioned off, in a walkway right next to tables.



I can't comment on the other elements like gym etc as I've not used them.

Like many other uses I spoken to recently I'm disappointed with trying to book classes, waitlists & not get in - I believe due to Dunstable centre being refurbished for 18 months!?! Also the lack of frequency & variation of classes i.e. pilates & yoga only a couple of times a week....not much to book FRI/SAT/SUN. Some helpful staff, some not, but I think probably due to everyone moaning about the same & management not it sorting-out. The aqua aerobics I have loved, all teachers great & fun but I won't be paying membership till things change!

I've been coming to Tiddenfoot on and off for around 6 years now and to begin with it was brilliant as I only signed up to membership for the variety of classes which were really good. I know Tiddenfoot can't turn someone away for wanting to sign up to gym membership as that wouldn't be fair but they haven't extended the class numbers/room size where classes are held to accommodate the demand. Therefore I find I am paying for a gym I cannot use because unless I set an alarm for 3am then come 7am all my favourite classes are booked and I was 17 on the waiting list at one point at 7am! I can only imagine it will get harder and harder to book a class going forwards. It's a big shame as I really love the classes here but it feels like I am tied into a contract where I'm paying for nothing. So until this contract ends and I can go elsewhere, I'm back to setting the 3am alarm. :(

I'm a full member , I became a full member to use the pool and gym and classes ... it's very hard to get into aqua aerobics classes even though I'm a full member many of the others in the classes are not and still manage to get in .... unless I am constantly on the app late or early in the morning it's impossible same as the website ... I go to the gym at all different times of day but it's usually Very busy... as a full member I thought personal training sessions would be a lot cheaper than what they are :(I've also swam a few times and their were a few teenage boys that literally swam under me in the deeper end a few times and splashing around really put me off as I'm not very confident in general in the water ... last but not least is the parking !! It's always a full car park with literally no where to park and I have been at all different times of the day and it's always the same. I have now cancelled my gym membership & even that was hard work ! Nobody call you back when they are supposed to & everything takes forever !

Dirty changing cubicles and floors when going for a swim. It’s been like this for the last couple of months. If there’s dirt I can see, I dread to think what I can’t see.

Bad customer service

Swim school is ridiculous ( teachers are fine )

Completely overcrowded lessons

Filthy floors including the shower area with inadequate showers with some still to be fixed after months of out of service

The whole place needs a shake up

Issues for the swim school need addressing as there are many other unhappy customers

There are some lessons that can be over 12 students in one class for half the pool so the children are unable have enough space

There can possibly be at times at least 20 children for 2 teachers

The lessons are overcrowded to the extent that it can take some time to get in the showers and then to find a cubicle can also take some time due to the volume of people

We are paying for a service that is not adequate

Regarding the overcrowded lessons I don't think legally this is aloud especially as there is not always a life guard present ( I only researched this recently )

I have decided to cancel my direct debit and go elsewhere as nothing is being done to improve services

In fact since the new company have taken over the facilities have declined further

Unacceptable

People need to know and speak up
