My daughter has been attending gymnastics here for the last couple of months and the coaches are fantastic. They are so enthusiastic and support all abilities of children, not just those who will be competing in competitions. We had previously attended another club and it's refreshing to see coaches here that are passionate about supporting children and having fun! I would highly recommend

Use the gym about 3 times a week, pay a monthly subscription, very fair price, good range of equipment, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to look after their body a bit more.

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.Update.Dragonfly Leisure has increased the size of the gym. The new areas are fantastic they have added numerous machines, and the extra space means that even when really busy, you still have room to exercise without being under each other's feet.Dragonfly Leisure has done a cracking job. The gym is top-notch it's a pleasure to go there. Well done, and thank you.

I have had the pleasure of using both writhlington and Norton for years before I became a member my son enjoy many of his own friends birthday parties at writhlington/go bananas one he grew out go bananas her enjoyed the laser tag and ninja assault course which amazing weather you are a child or and adult.I became a member just over 3yrs ago just after Covid and my son going back to full time education. And I just say it has help my fitness journey so much. I struggle with my anxiety and other physical restrictions. The staff have made me feel nothing welcome comfortable and help me to get the most out of the facilities without triggering any of my physical restrictions.and when I am struggling helping find something else.My son also has swimming lessons here and when he started 2 and half years ago he couldn’t swim now is half way through his stage 4.So in short would definitely recommend both place 100%

Amazing friendly staff, always happy to help in all areas, very approachable. Swimming instructors do a fantastic job, would highly recommend swimming lessons my 3 year old and 5 year old can't wait every week. The coffee is a great bonus while they swim.

Absolutely love the On Demand classes and all the virtual classes, plenty of choice to suit all abilities and those with busy schedules, from half hour classes to an hour. On demand allows you to choose your class when you arrive depending on what area you would like to focus on. A great atmosphere to workout in small classes or even alone. We are so lucky to have these facilities on our doorstep.

Best place around to go. Always met with happy, helpful and friendly staff.The gym is fab , the equipment is always clean and in good condition.The swimming pool with the steam room is a great place to relax .All the fitness classes are great . But I have to say TRX with lotte is by far my favourite. Lotte is warm, kind and bubbly . You can clearly see she wants to improve your health and fitness but she also invests in you as a person . She will Always check in at every class to see how you are . She makes the classes fun and you leave TRX feeling shattered ( in a good way) and feeling good about yourself .

I have been going to Lotties TRX class for a couple of years and love it. The gym and other facilities are also really good.

I have been attending trx classes at msn for quite some time.Lotte welcomes all levels and ages which makes the room buzz.I have made lots of friends and enjoyed feeling part of something that makes us feel good.The gym is great, I use it regularly..... lots of support on hand available if you want it, if you don't, you aren't hassled.Great place to go to feel better! Thanks Dragonfly... highly recommended.

Great place to learn to swim, my daughter started when she was 4 and loved it. Although being in group sessions she lacked concentration but dragonfly leisure understood this and were able to accommodate us with having 1-2-1 lessons very promptly. She has now passed stage 3 and continuing swimming with the school in top set thanks to having 1-2-1 lessons.

I have been using the facilities since 1986 and they have got better with every change. I swim and do 5 classes a week. All the instructors are lively and ensure you do the exercises correctly. Well done

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.

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 👍🏼

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!

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.
