Becontree Heath Leisure Centre - Dagenham

The 25m swimming pool is very clean, however, it can get very busy due to swimming lessons and areas for public swimming taking over swimming lanes. Changing area normally clean, but during peak times can be a bit messy. Booking system is very easy to use and slots are always available.

The 50m swimming pool is amazing and very clean, but unfortunately they only open during weekends, morning time only. I hope this could be extended to weekdays with more time slots.

Gym is very nice as well, plenty of equipments and mostly new. Free weights area quite small but overall ok.

Overall, this leisure centre is a great option for gym, swimming and others things to keep fit.

Soft play area for kids is great, but there is a charging fee.

Staff is friendly and helpful, if you got any issues it is easy to address via email and management will reply to you.

Overall, highly recommend.

Learning to swim as an adult at Becontree Leisure Centre has been an incredible journey, thanks to my amazing instructor, Roberto. Her patience, encouragement, and expertise have helped me progress from initial apprehension to confidently practicing in the deep end.

Roberto reassures me every week that I can do this, and her structured yet flexible approach makes learning enjoyable. She breaks down techniques clearly and builds my confidence with every session. Her positivity and dedication set her apart, making each lesson a rewarding experience.

For anyone looking to learn swimming, I highly recommend Roberto. She not only teaches techniques but also instills confidence and a love for the water.

Great experience. We had a private birthday party. And I can say it was great. Everything is in place, a clean and safe environment. Toilets for kids and adults, hot coffee and tea. Great and welcome staff members. There are 2 little riding machines that kids can sit on, payable by contactless payment. A high, but safe soft play, climb, 2 slides, one short, one long, and a ball pit. Small round tables with chairs.

The pool and locker room need a deep clean. And staff who are not very educated on how to talk to parents and teach young children. Do not recommend this for swimming lessons at all. Rescuers generally behave very rudely.

I’ve been coming to good boost for a year now it’s helped so much. My coach Angie is so supportive and cares about her clients. It just doesn’t help physically but helps mentally as well.
Would highly recommend joining.

I am extremely disappointed with this gym. The staff are consistently rude and, frankly, unhelpful. They lack any real knowledge about the services they provide, and when asked for basic information, they seem completely clueless.
This gym could be fantastic, but the disorganization and the unprofessional staff make it one of the worst gyms I’ve ever been to. Unfortunately, the staff's behavior and the poorly managed systems overshadow any potential benefits. Would not recommend.

Leisure Centre offers a wide range of activities for both adults and children. These include the traditional gym with aerobics classes, swimming lessons for both children and adults, Ju Jitsu classes, Badminton, Gymnastics, Dancing and at the entrance there is also a paid soft play area for children.
As of now, the price is £7.40 and allows for an adult + 1 child for a 1 hour and 30 minute session.
If you want to grab a coffee or a snack while waiting for your little one's activity, then you can enjoy these at the indoor seating area with a view to the smaller swimming pool.

I wanted to use the gym and it might have been good but sadly i didn't find out! I got a day pass, arrived for when it opened this morning and was told that it needed activating by the 'sales team', who come in an hour later 'if i am lucky'. Not only that but apparently there was an online induction i needed to do as well. I have been to several gyms and not once have i had to deal with this bureaucracy and poor customer service. I certainly will not be joining as a result of this. Scuppered my plans for the morning for no good reason.
