Hurstville Aquatic Leisure Centre

The gym facilities at Hurstville Aquatic Centre are excellent, and the staff within the gym are always professional, friendly, and supportive. I have been very happy with that aspect of my membership. However, I am quite disappointed with the ongoing issues regarding the spa, sauna, and steam room facilities. The spa is frequently out of order and rarely appears to be repaired properly. Recently, the sauna was unavailable, and the steam room was also out of service this morning. Unfortunately, this has become a recurring issue. As members, we continue to be charged full fees, yet these amenities are often inaccessible, which does not feel fair or reflective of the advertised services. Additionally, the general cleanliness and maintenance of these facilities appear to be lacking. I would strongly suggest that management either ensure these facilities are consistently maintained and available, or consider adjusting membership fees when services are out of order for extended periods. The gym itself is a fantastic facility, but the spa, sauna, and steam room require urgent and consistent attention.

Hurstville Aquatic Centre continues to be a great local facility with plenty to offer. The pools are well-maintained, and the kids’ swimming programs are organised and effective. The gym has a solid range of equipment, and it’s spacious enough to get a decent workout in without feeling cramped. Staff are usually friendly and approachable, which adds to the positive atmosphere. That said, one ongoing issue that affects the overall experience is the overcrowding in the spa, sauna, and steam room. These areas are popular, especially during peak hours, but they often feel too full to be truly relaxing or enjoyable. It can be difficult to make use of them comfortably, and at times, this also impacts the general cleanliness and air quality of the space. Managing the number of users or improving the flow through these areas would make a big difference. Despite this, the centre still serves as a valuable resource for the community. With a bit more attention to managing crowd levels in the wellness facilities, it could really elevate the experience for everyone. Fingers crossed they’ll take this on board!

Hurstville Aquatic Centre is a really solid local spot with a lot to offer. The main pools are excellent, and we've found the swimming lessons to be well-run and effective for the kids. The gym is spacious, and there's a good variety of equipment, making it a decent place for a workout. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. However, one area that consistently needs more attention, especially for hygiene, is the cleanliness of the bathing facilities – specifically the showers, changing rooms, and the wet areas around the spas, steam room, and sauna. While the main areas are generally well-maintained, these high-traffic, wet zones often feel like they could use a much more rigorous and frequent cleaning schedule. For a public facility, especially one focused on health and wellness, a higher standard of cleanliness in these specific areas would significantly improve the overall experience and comfort for all users. More effort really needs to be put into this aspect. Despite this, it's still a valuable community asset with good programs and facilities. Addressing the hygiene in the bathing areas would easily push it to a full 5-star rating. I'm hopeful they'll focus on this going forward!

I don't often write reviews, but was so impressed with the ease of recently switching to bluefit swim school, I thought I should! My kids have been swimming at another centre for years, but we wanted to get something closer to home. Yvette and her team were amazing, and made the whole switchover process super easy. After advising them what skills the kids were currently working towards, they knew exactly which level to place them in, got us a spot on a day convenient for us, and just couldn't have been nicer. What great people! We had our first lesson last week, which the kids both thoroughly enjoyed also. Small class sizes, and a massive bonus that they offer so many make-up lessons throughout the year (because let's face it, life happens and you sometimes need flexibility!). Big thanks to Yvette and the rest of the Bluefit team!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all the female staff this afternoon who came to my aid when I fainted in the changing room. Your care, support, and attentiveness meant so much in that vulnerable moment. You patiently asked all the right questions, making sure I was okay and didn’t miss any details about my experience. Your professionalism, kindness, and encouragement helped me feel significantly better—even without needing ambulance assistance. Thank you again for going above and beyond. I truly appreciate everything you did.❤️
