Services, Machines and Guided Classes
LeisureWorld Bishopstown: Opinions
Negative experience: Machines constantly broken, repairs can take weeks. Was 3 cable machines now only 2, feel like there were more benches a year ago before they changed layout. I have been there a few years now and my experience has only got worse, there has been no improvement to anything in the general gym area. Staff are sound tho
Fantastic experience: I have to write a review on the swimming lesson instructors, they really are fantastic. My daughter absolutely loves swimming here - her confidence has grown immensely and the lessons are so reasonable as well. We love it. Management are also so nice to deal with as I haven’t always been the easiest customer. Really appreciate it!!
Negative experience: I've been to better equipped gyms in third world countries. Honestly, worst gym I've ever been too. Avoid
Fantastic experience: Very handy pay as you go. The gym is great and spacious. However the pool gets very busy in the evenings. And the mix of cholerine chemicals can burn the eyes off of you sometimes. Cork needs alot more swimming pools to cope with the number of people. Great sauna too!
Negative experience: If you are looking for a good pool, you are in the wrong place. The management is very disorganized, not clear as most of the time the Main pool is closed for private groups and you need to swim in the small pool with only one line and many people there. This makes me very frustrated as I pay to use the pool but I am treated as I am no one, as my money is less important than the private groups. The sauna is ok, maybe the best thing in the facility, but don't expect too much. I didn't use the gym and the outside pitch, so don't take my review/feedback for this. I recently went to another similar facility, I must say that Leisure Word needs a lot of improvements.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, great pool to train.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff
Fantastic experience: Great 6v6 soccer pitch
Negative experience: Get the sauna work how long can’t it take took 6 months to tile the shower be this long to fix the sauna
Negative experience: Been here about 20+ times in last year with my now 6 year old son.Never a problem until today.16 euro upfront for us to use the pool for an hour,no issue with that.It would seem realistic a 6 year old would likely use the learner pool.There was a play scheme group in it,so he was allowed in,I was not as pool at capacity.No problem with that.I only got to enter the learner pool with my son for 30 mins of the hour I paid for.Suggested I use the adult pool.Not possible,you can't leave a 6 year old child unattended.Nothing but a limp apology,not even a suggestion of a partial refund for a service I paid for in full.Only told about the pool being booked after I was charged upfront and told I could not use it.Fairly poor service all round.Even if I was told come back at another time,would be no problem.
Fantastic experience: A big shout out to the wonderful Phoebe who has been so good to help my 6 year old who is nervous and lacking confidence in swimming lessons. She went above and beyond to try and help build his confidence back up slowly. Also to Connor who is such a fantastic swim teacher, so patient and kind.
Negative experience: Should be a price only for the gym and another for the pool. The gym is not vey equipped, missing many machines to do a proper workout and most of them are deteriorated
Fantastic experience: Good facilities gym 25 meter pool sauna and steam room. Family sessions in the pool. Very good value
Positive experience: Many positives, clean well maintained except However. The steam room does no run hot much of the time. Endless pithy excuses delivered since forever about the lack of steam. Pool and Gym are good.
Negative experience: Terrible service. I tried to call on Friday because I knew that today would be bank holidays - no answers, I sent an email to ask if it's working today - no answer, I checked Google maps if there is some changes in the working hours no changes like normal Monday. I said ok so it will be open the gym, I woke up at 6 o'clock in my bank holiday and when I arrived there the barrier was down and nothing working...Update your website and start answer the phone and the emails this is not serious you increased your prices but the service terrible....
Fantastic experience: Very nice swimming pool + gym but expensive
Negative experience: Good facilities, however Manager is very rude and unaccomodating. Not allowed to enter at 5pm when they are open until 5:45. Will not be renewing my membership for sure
Positive experience: Water is too cold for babies. Baby pool was cooler than adult swim area. Not too clean in the showers either. Good pool otherwise, I swam there all the time while pregnant.
Negative experience: Ciaràn and David are very good helping me and others in the Functional zone gym. They deserve a praise for the jobs they do. Walking down the small hill on the way I was wondering if you could put up a railing on the footpath on the right because when I walk on the flat part that's when I need something to hold onto while walking. The Cafeteria has lovely hot chocolate and coffees.
Fantastic experience: Great gym for S/C and cardio with sauna , steam room and pool Top class facility and great value
Negative experience: Rude and racist staff at the counter. The gym and pool facilities are excellent. Helping staff in gym and pool area are really good but every time I went to the counter I had a terrible experience.
Fantastic experience: Really nice gym and great pool for adults and kids too starting off swimming.
Fantastic experience: I use both the swimming pool and functional zone. This a special and dedicated gym for people with neuro-muscular diseases and others for rehabilitation. The staff is wonderful and helpful there. Congratulations to the personal trainers: Ciaran, Patrick and David. Please REWARD them as they are just AMAZING.
Positive experience: It is an excellent place to swim and go to the gym- Two in one!!!
Fantastic experience: Great and friendly stuff just the sauna need to hot .

Positive experience: Local to me. 2 pools, one always available. Almost 9 euro per visit therefore monthly membership a better option.
Fantastic experience: The team in bishopstown leisure world are just amazing. Our son is autistic and the team there all look out for him and really take care of him. We go 2 or 3 times a week and without their help it would not be possible. Thanks to everyone there

Fantastic experience: Amazing place friendly staff im learning to swim so feel safe there plenty of lifeguards around
Fantastic experience: Swimming
Positive experience: Decent gym and pool, nice staff. steamroom is very weak unless you pour water into the steam vent, maybe it should be hotter by default to avoid people doing this themselves every 5 minutes. The open hours of the gym are kind of poor for a membership that costs that much. But other than that I do like training here

Hi Stephen, our Swim times are still 1 hour, the Family slot of 20 minutes is just for your arrival time! :)
Positive experience: Frankly, the water is too hot to swim comfortably. Why the water's temperature is that high? It should be between 22-24 Celcius, not higher.
Positive experience: Great. Just need to keep those using inflatables (can't swim!) at the shallow end. Maybe staff a little reluctant to engage with the parents?

Fantastic experience: My 10 year old daughter had her birthday party here. Swimming for the hour and astro activities for another hour. She had a ball! Staff here are great, very friendly and patient, fantastic supervision with the children. Adults could relax while the children are entertained. Got pizza's delivered for the food, the staff even rang in the order.! We had our own seated area to eat and have cake. She loved every minute. Very reasonable prices given the time we where there. We will definitely be coming back for swims and her party next year. Thanks to all involved.
