Member Testimonials
The classes Andy puts on have changed my life! Superb trainer who made me feel welcome from the very first class…along with the fantastic group who turn up every week.
I think Copley, has an awful lot of activities to offer, for a wide spectrum of ages and abilities, it's very welcoming, the staff have been kind and knowledgeable, on the occasions where I've made an inquiry.
I like the flexibility of the classes and the instructors especially Reale and Alison
Friendly staff, good gym and swim facilities.
I like the classes and the very friendly staff members.
Efficiency, friendly staff , informative and enthusiastic, ensuring a smooth registration process. Excellent customer service.
Always a nice place to visit and take the classes or do a gym circuit . Instructors - Gaynor, Steven, Aiden and Caroline are really good and will provide alternatives if they see you struggling or advise on positioning. I have recently started going in the gym twice a week and there is always a good selection of equipment, clean and maintained. I also use the pool but have a problem with the number of members who seem to spend their whole session standing talking in the lanes blocking the swimmers. The life guards never stop them and just let them continue to block the swim lane - this is the slow swimmers lane mainly and I have had to go in the medium swimmers lane so that my swim is not disrupted. The life guards need to tell these members to not block serious swimmers, thank you.
Otherwise would recommend TWC
Very friendly, helpful staff and those on reception could not have be more supportive on the numerous times I have pestered them!
Clean, local and easily accessible.
Could be the full package if there was a steam room and sauna.
All staff I’ve come across have been friendly and approachable, including reception and cleaning staff.
I’ve used several centres and this is by far the cleanest. Cheryl is always on top of everything-can tell when she’s off.!
Good choice of classes, just wish there were more yoga/pilates classes when exercise room is free as these always fill up very quickly and can struggle to get on
I only do the HIIT class on a Wednesday pm. The instructor is always well prepared and takes any injuries/limitations into consideration with every exercise, adapting where necessary.
I have used the gym several times but find there’s not enough range of machines that I like to use. I’m not keen on using it in the evening as sometimes too many children in there with no staff keeping an eye on them.
Friendly staff and good equipment
Great classes and staff.
I am loving Aidans classes on a Wednesday and Saturday! They are such a good workout and he changes it up everytime so there's no chance to get bored. If I can't make the Wed one, I do the Tuesday which is more strength based but equally as excellent. Always a good group of people there and I think they're starting to enjoy the humour and banter we brought from Active Ashton. I'm still mad about Ashton closing though!!
Friendly,affordable service with knowledgeable staff
It works around my lifestyle and convenience and staff are very helpful and polite and friendly and and great service

I only attend the palates class, but everyone including reception staff are friendly and helpful
Centre is accessible, friendly helpful staff good range of activities for all abilities.
Very friendly staff. Both on the desk and for swimming and classes. Both Damian and Christina have been fantastic during the swimming lessons with my little girl. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Friendly gym decent changing rooms good parking
Reception staff all lovely, very welcoming and helpful! Classes are super, however very difficult to get on a class if not a member and also please can you provide pilates and yoga in evenings as cannot attend daytime as at work thank you.
Relaxed and happy atmosphere and instructors super thank you.
Clean and tidy
The increased numbers to Thursdays aqua fit have made it easier to book a place but it's so popular that extra sessions in the week would be well attended if they were introduced.
Chris is a great spin instructor
The product and service are excellent but to many have closed - this does not promote a healthy image of Tameside council - I understand Tameside council has no money - but should a proactive health attitude prevent problems later in life. The people of Tameside has one of the shortage life expectancy- your services are vital to the wellbeing of local people - after all it appears to be running at max capacity most of the time.
Great swim fit lessons with Paul and really friendly and helpful desk staff
The classes and staff. The only thing wrong is the temperature of the pool for wally walrus , way too cold for children too young to be able to keep warm
