Kingfisher Club Waterford — Local services in Waterford

The place ain't bad, used the gym for 5 years on and off, wasn't a member. Went in there today at 7;30am asked to use the gym, was told it wasn't open. i said; its open to the public from 7 till 9. the kid on the desk said; yeah that's ok fine. I walked passed him and said; thanks mate and paid. He said; wait a minute, you're not wearing the wrong "gym pants". I was wearing martial arts pants. I explained this to him and then his manager. I said these are just as good but id wear tracksuit pants next time. There was no amicability from them. No reasoning. No second chance. Just ignorance and arrogance. I said to the manager: your desk guy was snotty with me and not finding a good enough excuse the first time had now pulled me on wearing martial arts pants, whats going on here?, i said. He said it was my opinion. Well who's else would it be i ask?.

I'm not a good looking 20year old woman, even thou in situations like this i would very much like to be, i think the situation would of been very different if i was, but I'm not, I'm a 40 year old man with a London accent.

Bit of a mixed bag. If you want to use the pool, thermal pool, sauna, or steam room in the morning I would avoid this place and find somewhere else.

So if you come in at 6.30 they won't be ready to use. Or maybe they will, some times it's fine. There's no consistency. Clearly some managers and staff are good at their job while others aren't.

Some afternoons I'm told I can't use the pool because there's swimming lessons, despite being a paying member (50 euro p/m)

The smell in the changing rooms and shower area is awful and the showers are unusable as they're...

Good pool and Gym facilities. However the place is starting to become a bit rundown. The Jacuzzi is always broken in some way or another. The showers in the changing rooms are becoming worse for wear and need to be redone. Would be nice if they stayed open until ten during the week like they did before COVID. Also you can't use the pool until 11 on a Saturday because of swimming lessons. It would be great if they opened at 8 on a Sat to let people get a swim in first thing before the lessons. Would be nice if they had some adult only times for swims too. Rules need to be enforced more there also regarding boisterous behaviour in the pool. People also need to be reminded to shower before jumping into pool after using...
