Hi Joanne,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that the female tennis changing room has not met your expectations. Cleanliness is extremely important to us, and we're disappointed to learn that you found the floor dirty during your early morning visits.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the lack of hairdryers, power outlets for hair styling equipment, and convenient towel hooks near the showers. Feedback like this helps us understand where improvements could be made to enhance the customer experience.
Your comments will be shared with the centre management team for review.
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know about your experience.
Warm Regards,
Hazal
Great Swimming Experience
I have had experience of two leisure centres run by Better and the staff have in both cases been polite, encouraging, helpful and the swimming pools have been well run with clean changing and toilet facilities. I do the 1.5k Swimathon every year and when I moved down to Cornwall originally was signed up to a different pool, (not run by Better) but was so disgusted by the lack of cleanliness and general feeling of disrepair I asked to change my registration to a pool elsewhere and as I had experience of one pool run by Better and knew the standard to be high and the staff friendly so I changed my registration to another pool this time run by Better. All communications with Better have been helpful and friendly and the pools are kept clean and the changing and toilet facilities as well.

Booking is easy
Booking is easy. Only thing I’m not happy with is the hairdryer situation none working since before Christmas, no wonder so many of us going down with colds and flu after swimming then going out into the cold weather.

Expensive outdoor tennis costs
Disappointed at the cost of the outdoor tennis courts. £10 an hour but an extra £5 to have the lights switched on!
My nearest tennis club is 40 minutes away and charges £25 a year with £5 an hours play. No Better Bodmin tennis membership unless you book lessons or pay monthly club membership fees. I don’t need lessons.

Reply from Better - Bodmin Leisure Centre
Hi Joanne,
We're sorry to hear this and would like to thank you for your feedback.
We understand and empathise with your disappointment regarding the pricing of the Tennis courts.
Please note that Tennis is not included in our Memberships across our Better facilities.
Our court fees help us to fund and improve the ongoing services we offer, support our GLL Literary and Sports Foundation, provide Supported Memberships for our refugee customers, as well as discounted Memberships for those eligible.
Regarding the £5.00 fee, we wouldn't require customers to pay this for the lights to be switched on.
This fee was likely regarding the additional individual you brought along to your booking, or the cost to hire the racquets for that session.
Thank you again for your feedback!
Warm Regards,
Kaisha
I was looking to join a new Gym
I was looking to join a new Gym, though my work benefits I was entitled to a discount at Better Health Bodmin.
At first I wasn’t sure on how to apply this discount, however after visiting Better Health Bodmin, Hayley was a massive help guiding me through the online process.
Hayley is an absolute credit to the leisure centre, really appreciated the additional support.
The leisure centre itself it brilliant, never too busy and the gym is well equipped .

Adult Tennis Lessons - Great Fun
I attended my first tennis lesson for beginners earlier this week. It was very enjoyable, the trainers were excellent, it all run very smoothly and I am looking forward to many more sessions. I was not aware that Better was a charitable enterprise, I attended the Bodmin centre and thought it looked in great shape.

Disabled access doors have broken
Disabled access doors have broken, lift broken which makes it very difficult for a wheelchair user especially as she has to go outside and round the centre to enter. I walked her to her van and was soaked by the rain. No working hairdryers to use after swimming, showers very cold and some do not work at all. Some staff are stroppy and rude. The Manager is good but fighting a losing battle money wise as repairs are desperately needed on the building and some departments.
