Poplar Baths Leisure Centre and Gym

Located close to All Saints DLR Station, they have separated changing/showers for men and women. Water is clean. The place is quite nice except the fact that the water is cold and you need 20p for the locker (you cannot use Better coins). Maybe I will go there in the summer. Now in April is... Brrrr

I'll evaluate the pool from a swimming training perspective.
- too shallow, 1m in one end with 1.8m in the other (doesn't make sense at all)
- only one hidden chronometer at the 1.8m side
- narrow lanes
- too many slow swimmers per lane

- good temperature
- ok for cleaning

Gym facilities are rather good

Price is expensive for what you get.

1. Great location as the all saints dlr station is adjacent to the gym. There is a wide variety of stores, restaurants and an idea library at walking distance. The famous Chrisp Street Market is across the road at walking distance from the gym.
2. One of the best places if you enjoy swimming as it has one of the best swimming pools. They also have a smaller pool for children and novices.
3. Besides working out, we can also indulge in games like badminton, table tennis, basket ball and volleyball(at a fee). They have 4 badminton courts side by side.
4. Good assortment of gym machines and weights for a good and productive workout.
5. Very well maintained facilities which are cleaned on a regular basis.
6. They also offer all kinds of fitness classes for interested candidates.
7. They offer a wide variety of lockers(small, medium and big) to secure your stuff while you work out.
8. The changing rooms are quite clean and spacious and are very well maintained.
9. The front desk staff is also very helpful, receptive and cooperative to members needs.
10. Just one downside, at times some gym machines break down(mostly the legs machines) and the staff takes few days to get them repaired. This affects workout sessions and the waiting time could be reduced.

All in all. I thoroughly enjoy my workouts here and love spending time in the gym. I wish everyone at Poplar Baths Leisure and Gym the very best and congratulate them for their efforts towards maintaining this centre.
