Local leisure centre is filthy?

What's yours like.
Our local leisure centre is dismal. Filthy hall floors and toilets.

Can't be healthy for people doing classes etc.
Some people even get down in the hall to do exercises.
It's like they have not got any cleaners?

They keep trying to sell gym membership though?

What's yours like?

Ours is filthy. Clearly just very short of money. Tbh I am just pathetically grateful it still exists, I suspect as soon as something big goes wrong they will just shut it down and no more local swimming pool.

I do think the textured tiles in swimming changing rooms cling to dirt. It’s the sort of thing you need a long handled scrubbing brush, hot water and lots of elbow grease to get off. Instead they mop it with too much cleaner. The water dries and the cleaner sets on top of the tiles looking grubby.

Thanks, it's not just me then. Why don't they clean it?

The same, and the swim changing room floor is absolutely disgusting. I even offered to take my pressure washer in to the centre manager to clean it. We have now moved swimming lessons to a private pool its slightly more money but whole lot cleaner!

Ours is too although it's run by an external company. As you say, it's horrible to be on the floor doing an exercise and seeing how dirty the floor is. Mind you I used to belong to David Lloyd and it wasn't much better. I now go to an independently owned gym and it's spotless.
