Don't use this company unless your rich
Do not use this company.
I cancelled my account because the gym membership went up, I got lumped with a £70 fee with a threatening email about if i didn't pay it it would get sent over to debt collectors. Now i've had to pay it and have £30 to live for the next 2 weeks.
Problem is im on benefits and was moving house the week i cancelled my account. No compassion about my situation to at least remove the £20 charge. Do not use this company if you need any sort of compassion for individual situation. Soulless beurocratic conglomerates. Never using this company again.

Pool freezing cold, again.
Signed our daughter up for swimming lessons, but the pool has been consistently cold and getting colder. She has had to get out the past 2 weeks after 10 mins because she is uncontrollably shivering. She has gotten so upset that she refuses to go back. Shame as the instructors seemed good.

Racist leisure centre
Racist leisure centre, will not recommend nor return. I felt victimised and embarrassed by staff and customers. The swim instructor relative had a lot to say to me in directly. I felt so violated myself and my daughter left before our time. There online booking is terrible. No clarity on swim what is a Public pool. We were told to go in the children pool where u can not swim just float. I would not recommend nor return.

Your feedback on these operational aspects is extremely valuable, and we will certainly review our processes to ensure clearer communication and a better user experience for all our guests.
To enable us to conduct a thorough investigation into these serious matters, we would be grateful if you could provide more specific details about the incidents, including the date and approximate time of your visit, and any descriptions of the individuals involved.

Lack of flexibility and no gym-only membership
I'm disappointed with Rivers’ membership policy. There's no option to buy a gym-only pass, which makes no sense — not everyone needs access to swimming or group classes.
The Off-Peak membership for £33 sounds good at first, but it's actually quite rigid. You not only have to enter before 4pm, but you're also expected to leave the facility by 4pm, which is very limiting for people working rotating or late shifts.
There's also no flexibility, like the ability to pay a small fee to extend a visit outside off-peak hours.
It’s a shame, because the facilities are just fine — but the approach to membership feels outdated and customer-unfriendly.
