Northfield Pool & Fitness Centre – birmingham

Queues to get in no access to changing rooms change children on the outbside of the pool area or rap the up and dry them at home if you don't feel comfortable but teachers are amazing Update: Changing rooms now accessible Mask must be worn

Great place for fitness and swimming. Very reassuring measurements put into place during this pandemic.

Very well organised, made the parents sit on chairs poolside but was right by the windows, especially on a hot day!

Great facility, very clean and well looked after. Aqua challenge is great fun but a bit pricey (just under £6 each for kids and just under for £8 adults) for 45 minute session... you get around 10 goes depending on how busy it is.

Great all round leisure centre, i personally go for the gym which has plenty of free weights /machines. Also has a lot of cardio equipment, can be busy at times but generally don't have to wait to use anything. Good changing facilities, showers, lockers and all kept clean by the the helpful staff. Haven't used the pool myself but looks to be a good size.

It's a great little local leisure centre. With 2 pools; a large main one and then a smaller toddler pool, making it great for families. There are swimming lessons throughout the week, and fun play sessions. Upstairs there is a gym, and some studios for aerobic and gymnastic sessions. Near by is Northfield high Street with some shops for essentials and coffee shops for those wanting to relax.

I like the classes here - although they often get booked up, literally check on the day if there is something you want to do, 4 hours before, there will be a space. I like the aqua aerobics, purely from a mental health point of view, the classes are incredibly relaxing and I sleep well. I wish there were more of them The negatives: 1) the car park is too small. Probably about 50% of the size it needs to be, the centre can't compete with the demands of parents and children doing swimming lessons and people doing classes between 4-7pm. 2) I went to a yoga class and it wasn't beginner friendly at all. I left after 20 minutes and don't think badly of myself for doing that. The instructors could try a lot harder with offering a range of moves and options between beginners and advanced practice. We don't all have to do the same thing, we just do what we can do and develop. You have to start somewhere but with an inaccessible class you can't. 3) Memberships! There is a £18 pm membership for FT students when paid upfront for 12 months. Its not advertised and not even the staff know it exists, just the membership manager. The lady at the desk was trying to sign me up to some £28 pm rolling deal. I'm glad I didn't sign up there and then and instead verified what I though the student package was

Modern and clean - clear that it's been invested in.

Good place for all age group

I was just amazed at the new Northfield swimming baths. Very helpful staff changing rooms fantastic, safe pool's all in all a very pleasant visit. I would recommend Northfield swimming baths
