I visit here weekly with work. The staff are very friendly and understanding. I’ve only swam. I haven’t used any other facilities. Good steam room. Clean changing rooms and pool. Food and drinks are quite steep but at least the option is there.

It's a good gym, quite large and well organised. It has everything except a punching bag. Everything is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Whenever I want to use a punching bag I go to their other site in Writhligton.

The best leisure centre in the area

I joined when I moved down here when I got really sick and had a baby over 8 years ago and it’s been a life saver - I first met Lotte when I went to a post natal exercise class 8 and a half years ago and my baby was not having any of it - Lotte swept in and looked after my screaming newborn for 45 minutes so I could do the post natal exercise class! I’ve been coming every week day (and sometimes weekends if I can get someone to looks after my kiddo) for over 8 years and the staff are so lovely - my son adores Lotte and Shannon and has been having swimming lessons for 4 ish years ? Can’t remember how long but I’d be lost without this gym! I do Spin with Emily / Becky / Lotte - all three are fabulous. Jason / Bev for Body Pump / Core - which are excellent classes. Jason’s upbeat attitude especially on a Monday morning really cheers me up! Bev’s yoga is great. Oh and TRX with Lotte is also amazing! Would really have struggled mentally if I hadn’t felt so welcomed here and if I hadn’t met Lotte - she’s now a really good friend of mine! And on a weekend my son and I cycle down to MSN gym to use the pool and the toys & floats session my son loves - even now he’s 8! The only negative about the pool is it can be quite chilly sometimes and the changing room floor can be a bit gross but I always see the staff mopping the floor and cleaning the toilets etc I think it’s more the other parents go into the changing rooms to get their kids changed for lessons / collect them after lessons and don’t put the plastic over shoes (which are provided literally opposite the door) on over their own muddy shoes!Love the refurbished gym - plenty of space and you don’t get in each other’s way when using the barbell or free weights. The car park can be a bit packed when the gym is busy or there are lots of swimming lessons on but there is a huge car park much bigger than the other gyms in the area so not sure what the gym can do about it, and if the council implement no free parking in MSN then I can’t see the parking situation becoming any easier but that’s not the gyms fault !We are so lucky to have this place especially post Covid when loads of gyms and sports centres have shut down, it’s such a social hub as well as a gym. Would have no hesitation in recommending it.

My son went to his ever holiday club today and we were both really anxious, I had my doubts he'd stay...but immediately upon arrival harry greeted us and was amazing with my son, he really welcomed him and knew exactly how to reassure us both he was so lovely.My son absolutely loved his day and will definitely be returning next year 👍🏼

The gym in dragonfly leisure at Writhlington is staffed by a friendly team, who are always eager to lend a hand or just to encourage. The equipment is very well maintained and kept very clean. There is a good array of equipment, and all are demonstrated by the staff before letting you lose on your own. A body scan was taken, and an exercise program designed for my issues, I have been going for 6 months and can see a definite improvement in my body and my mental state. I can't recommend more highly.

Good but limited times for using the pool when I want to.

Kelly P.

20:25 05 May 24

All the classes I've been to are great and the staff are really knowledgeable and lovely...I particularly love Jason's style he's really fun and energetic and makes excerise a pleasure and not a chore, he makes me laugh and his class is perfect to start my day.I also love attending Emily's post class she's always bringing fresh ideas to the group and really understands what excerises work for post pregnancy even if your almost 4 years down the line like me, my son adores her and loves coming to post class just as much as I do!

This is a great gym, swimming pool complex. Really good value for money but notwithstanding that it is the staff that make it, friendly, professional and motivational when and if you need it. Well recommended and good work team. Appreciate it.

First time down there in years, went to meet management for something got shown around, facilities easily best in the area and in my opinion surpass the higher end gyms like Nuffield.

We very recently had a Ninjair party for our son here, and I can’t say enough good things about the facilities and staff. The place is extremely clean, and run very efficiently. Even with a timing mix up that was completely my fault, the staff at dragonfly leisure centre went above and beyond to make sure my son and his friends had an amazing time and didn’t miss out on anything. Having a dedicated party room and party host makes everything much easier on the parents as well! I will definitely be back and will certainly recommend DLC to other parents looking to host birthday parties!

My little one enjoyed the under 3s softplay. It's a shame older kids kept coming in and playing and this is not monitored at all. The food and drink took quite awhile to come and came in 3 stages but they did start with the little ones food first.

This place is absolutely brilliant for toddlers.Unsettingly, it's closing down to make way for a Gym expansion. They say it's because it's not busy, but it's not that, it's always busy. They could put their prices up slightly but obviously there's more money in Gyms them toddlers.This is a travesty!

I have been a member of the gym here for a few months and I have to say it's great . Friendly and helpful staff and a nice atmosphere. Very clean and warm. The only thing I would say is that there is a lot more space for weights and it would be nice to see a few more machines.

Great place for little kiddies if you need to keep them entertained on a rainy day. Nice little cafe too with drinks and snacks.Only downside is today they had no heating on when it's freezing outside, I was walking around in my coat!

This soft play is amazing! Round the corner from my house I go to the gym here and didn’t even realise they had one. I’ve been going here every week with my baby for a few months and it is so big! Lots of sections for different ages my baby loves it. My baby goes free until she is 1 and adults go free which is how it should be! The coffees are amazing and the menu is brilliant with really reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

I've been a member for quite a few years now and I've always enjoyed the workout classes but since I've been doing Lotties TRX classes twice a week they have become my firm favourites. The atmosphere in these classes is amazing everybody interacts to help any newbies we all get on so well it's a lovely friendly atmosphere. Lottie goes out of her way to improve us all she works us hard but its friendly and fun I have certainly noticed an improvement in my own strength I enjoy this form of exercise so much I have bought a set of TRX straps and set them up at home for the days there aren't classes but that wouldn't replace the benefit of Lotties tuition. Thanks Lottie keep up the good work.

I took out a membership about 6 months ago , I use the gym, swimming, aqua aerobics and do some fitness classes. I find the staff very friendly and always happy to help if needed. It is also helping me have a better lifestyle too. I would highly recommend this Sports Centre to anyone.

I use the gym, do post natal, couple of the exercise classes and the pool for aqua aerobics and water babies. Staff are all amazing, great having different instructors as they all do rountines in a different way which is great for different workouts. I always leave my workouts feeling great due to the push and support they give you to get through the class. My daughter has also done swimming lessons here for a long time and is doing grand and really enjoys it!Definitely recommend this centre ☺️

Jade

12:59 03 Oct 23

The gymnastics facilities are truly excellent and the staff are knowledgeable, fun, helpful and skilled. My children have been going to the pre-school classes for years and the classes are tailored to their abilities in the most gentle way, enabling them to enjoy learning and therefore succeed. Couldn't recommend enough. If you're unsure of which class is best, seek out Laura!

My daughter had a swimming party at midsomer Norton. It’s was fantastic! She had a brilliant time and wants another. The host Shannon was outstanding! She made everything so easy, nothing was to much trouble and she was amazing with the children. My son now wants a swimming party which I will be booking without hesitation. Absolutely fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lauren.

Very fun softplay!! Very large but so much for every age child to do!

Linzi S.

Wonderful soft play - my 3 year old grandson loves it - different areas for different ages and the cafe and entrance fee is reasonably priced. Not 5* due to quite slow service from the cafe sometimes.

Ruth G.

05:18 07 Aug 23

This soft play is excellent. There are spaces for babies, toddlers and older children. The cafe serves reasonably priced food. One word of caution, you need to book a place in school holidays.
