Robinson Pools & Fitness Park Avenue, Bedford MK40 2JZ

"while waiting for our time slot in the pool with 3 under 5 year olds which can be stressful we went to the cafe where there was a lovely play area for the children and the staff were friendly and chatty with us and the children and took out order the coffee and cakes were amazing! Made us all feel relaxed before our swim in the baby pool would definitely be going again it was a nice over all experience"

"Great cafe and very friendly staff. Couldn’t get enough of the homemade cakes and the coffee was great too Also has a little playarea for the little ones. Will be my regular for sure"

"Just a joke all round. We started by booking a space in the small pool with our 4 month old and when we got there the receptionist 'couldn't tell' us if the cafe has change to swap for a locker. We had a £2 coin and needed £1 coin. Turns out she could tell us but didn't because she got told off by the cafe for saying they do have cash facilties. When we got to the small pool there was very able swimmers of at least 7 years of age in there. To top this off, there were dads jumping in the small pool as well. The life guard looked uninterested and didn't bat an eye lid at this. The colour of the pool was a brown dirt shade. The tiles clearly haven't been cleaned for a while. You'd have thought they'd clean them? I could also see over at the main pool there were people pushing others into the pool which was ignored by life guards. People were running poolside unchallenged also. This pool is just waiting for an accident to happen. Very disappointed and shocked by the running of this. Better off going to Kempston Pool."

"Average gym, has all the equipment you need and 3.5/5 cleanliness but does feel like it needs a good scrub. HOWEVER nobody, ever ever ever picks up the phone (unless they want to sell you a membership!!) I’ve rang on 6 different occasions and every time it rings. Even tried when I was in the car and my partner was there in person and they literally ignored it."

"The manager and staff are completely uneducated on cultures & religions outside their own. The manager sent a staff member to inform me that my own swimmingly costume was simply not allowed as it covers my arms & legs. I was asked if I wore the costume outside and despite informing the staff member that I of course do not as it is swimwear, I was asked to vacate the pool. This was absolutely humiliating and is such a shame as it's the closest swimming pool to me. I suggest you find a substitute if you own arm & leg covering swimming costumes until the pool manager releases a statement apologising and educating himself and his staff."
