Been here loads of times. Book pitches from little as £20 for an hour. Gym and Indoor Swimming also available here with showers and changing rooms. Great place for parking and great distinction in the local area. Running track around the pitches also available to use and grass pitch on fair end for local Saturday/Sunday teams also. Great customer service and never had any issues here.

I only really use this leisure centre now for the swimming pool but often in the past I have worked out in the gym and taken some of their classes. For a while I really enjoyed spin classes and they have a good studio here with lots of bikes. It does get very full though so turn up early or book in advance. Lots of their ‘body’ classes take place in a great, big studio upstairs. This is good as there is lots of room but it can get a bit hectic!
The swimming pool isn’t too great mainly because of its size but if you are after a quiet swim this is a good option in Birmingham. The changing facilities are generally nice and clean.
The gym is in a separate building and is fairly small but manages to include all the necessary equipment if that is your thing.

This is far from my favourite place to go for a swim, but it’s much better than Stechford Cascades. The pools are a lot bigger and spacious, and staff are friendly and inviting. There is also a great selection of activities here for children, such as water slides to keep families entertained.
However, if you’re the sort of person that simply want to go for a casual or leisurely swim to keep fit, then I don’t think this is the place for you. The pools are usually always overcrowded, and you’ll struggle to find a time to go when they’re quiet; Especially if you work from 9 – 5, because after this time, the pools become full of people, meaning that you can’t really swim any lengths without bumping into somebody on your way.
The changing rooms are pretty standard, as are the showers and locker rooms; you’re likely to struggle to find an empty one.

I prefer this gym to the pulse point gyms in Stechford or Shard End.
The gym is quite big in the leisure centre located at Ninestiles School. It is often packed out and it can be best to choose early morning times. There is a new free scheme too, one worth taking advantage of but that is the exact reason for the big amounts of people in here.
There are plenty of cardio machines and treadmills as well as a free weights section. They have different staff on hand to be able to train or assist you with any exercise or question you may have.
They have lockers and changing rooms in here and plenty of spaces to park. The different fitness classes they run take place just two minutes away at the opposing centre.

The pool is a bit small and it can be difficult to swim (half-)lengths without bumping into people (I am over 6′ tall). Some of the equipment for aerobics classes has seen better days and they have a tendency to cancel classes at VERY short notice, especially over bank holidays. The instructors, at least for ‘Body Combat’, teach a very ‘stiff’ style which contrasts with some of the classes I have seen on YouTube where people just wave their arms about. It can be an awkward site to access unless you own a car, because there are no secure bicycle faciilities and the neighbouring school closed the pedestrian access from the major bus routes 3 years ago and are refusing to make the necessary repairs to their property to re-open it, apparently to force a de facto permanent closure.

This is a wonderful leisure centre that has a gym as you first enter a sports field, a pitch of some sorts (can you tell I am not that sporty?!) then onwards to the main swimming centre, café and rooms where they do fitness classes. The swimming pool is clean and has a smaller pool to the side and opens up to the large pool. When it is busy they put on lanes which helps everyone in the pool as if you want a proper swim off you go and it means that children can play around a bit too without parents worrying they will not hit into someone. I have done the aqua-aerobics class here and it is wonderful but I did feel shattered afterwards. They do adult only swimming on a Monday (and possibly Thursday) evening

Fox Hollies has a gym t5hat is adequate for the price and staff will show you around or how to use the machines if you are a new member it is also cheap and you can pay monthly or as you go. The swimming pool is usually very busy and is sometimes closed off due to lessons. If you are making a journey it is worth ringing just to double check how busy the pool is.

Fox Hollies has a wide range of good sport equipment. It has a gym, swimming baths, squash courts, tennis courts and a café/bar. It offers many different fitness and dance classes for adults, and sports and gymnastic classes for the children. The swimming baths are always clean, and very safe. There is a shallow area for children and a deeper area with lanes. It holds swimming classes for adults as well as children, and you can chose to have one on one or group lessons. Schools do use it in the day times though, so if you want a quiet session make sure that you ring in advance to find out when th schools will be there.
