Bicester Leisure Centre — Attraction in Cherwell District

Disgusted by the way I was just spoken too by the leisure centre. Male, approx 45 years old. Dark hair.

I’m a disabled customer who dropped my 14 year old son off to gym by the front door. He had forgotten his water so I went to call him to come back out and collect it.

I had been pulled over on the side of the road for ONE minute, the time it had taken for my son to walk in and me to pick up my phone. In this time the horrible man came to my car and very aggressively told me I couldn’t park there. Fair enough, but cars had passed me and I was not causing an obstruction. I explained I was on the phone and just waiting for my son, but he was not backing down. He was so incredibly rude and I’m feeling quite upset by the whole thing. Why would you aggressively approach a lone, disabled female in that way? Blue badge quite clearly displayed.

If all the disabled bays weren’t taken up by cars that didn’t have blue badges, I would have been able to park up and take the water in myself.

A really unpleasant character. And I also have Addisons disease and have been quite shaken up by the whole thing. It’s not what you say it’s how you say it and he was aggressive, unkind and nasty. There was no pleasantries, politeness or manners. It could have been said in a much nicer way and been a much more pleasant exchange. I’m a nurse and words are only 1% of communication. 99% is tone and body language and 99% of this gentleman’s communication was negative, pushy and scary. Completely...

I just want to say a huge thank you to Matthew and his amazing team today. We held our Son’s 9th Birthday party here today and had 18 kids in total. From start to finish Matthew and his team has been amazing. We have phoned up on a few occasions in the lead up to the party and the staff were always happy to answer any questions we may have had.

The bowling alley itself is excellent. The place is clean and tidy and the facilities are just perfect.

On this occasion we booked to use 4 of the bowling lanes and then stay afterwards for food. The selection of food available was spot on for the kids. More than other places we have had in the past. The staff were very accommodating as some people didn’t give me their choices until the last minute, past the desired cut off time, and Matthew and the team were only too happy to try and accommodate the changes.

Upon arrival, the table was set ready and a table had been put aside for the presents. Very organised indeed. The staff working the shift were so kind and attentive. After our bowling session the food arrived and the kids ate up everything ! They loved it.

Lee and I are so glad we booked to come to you and James had the best party with his...

Loving the leisure centre. Have a full membership and am making the most of it, with it I can use the gym, have access to lots and lots of classes from brutally early morning to late at night and squash whenever we want. Slight downside is that the swimming pool often unavailable when school in but the hot tub, sauna and steam room are available all the time.

The gym has all the equipment including a lot of new equipment and technology, there are five large video screens showing different television channels and several different machines with dedicated television screens for you to channel surf. I am currently figuring out the Wattbike of which they have four, I'm sure some people turn up for these alone. Gym and class staff are friendly and excellent bringing their own different style to various classes.

I'd recommend this place, it is the first hit on the map for gym in Bicester and is the biggest and best stocked, because of this it has a varied clientèle from young to old and athletic to athletically challenged so no one need feel self conscious...
