Negative experience: Too busy and ridiculous gym policies regarding agree

Srij Hazra 11 months ago

Negative experience: The six dollars you would spend here, double it for fuel to the beach. You will have a much more enjoyable time at any beach compared to here

Fantastic experience: I went to book a pool party the other night and was greeted by two excellent people at the front desk who were so helpful! Helen was so nice and helpful her customer service was wonderful. There was also a young guy at the counter who was also great I didn’t get his name however! Thank you and we look forward to the upcoming party !!

Negative experience: Indoor pool is virtually empty, yet we can not swim in it because it's reserved for hydro something lessons. So have to use outdoor pool in the hot sun. Not happy.

Timothy 1 year ago

Negative experience: If you want to enforce towel rules, maybe offer towels for hire for the forgetful, instead of offering towels to buy. Just a suggestion, no harm intended

Alex Anderson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What a lovely facility. The pool water is so clean and the perfect temperature. The showers and toilets are clean and modern and the stalls are massive! Thank you. We will be back!

Andrew Poulsen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: New upgrades are amazing!

Ana V 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility. Surprisingly for a public pool, this one has new and clean shower facilities and change rooms (as compared to Langlands Pool just down the road, which has a lovely swimming environment but awful shower facilities!)… not sure how busy this pool gets during a school term, but during school holidays it was not too busy for decent lap swimming. Thanks team, keep up the good work!

Andre Beiler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great swimming centre. Very clean and immaculate

Bubblygal69 1 year ago

Positive experience: They need to provide signage on where the entrance is from Zahel St. I haven't been here for many years & it's now confusing how to get into the place. Only used 25m outdoor pool but it was nice. They also need outdoor showers so people can quickly rinse off without having to go into change rooms which also need improving. They have just built a new building & only added a few more change rooms in comparison to how many people utilise these facilities. Very poor planning. More interested in the aesthetics than practicality.

Blessing Matore 1 year ago

Positive experience: The gym has great weight equipment, though the weights section can feel a bit cramped during peak hours. The gym is well-maintained, with members cleaning equipment after their workouts. The cardio section offers some unique machines worth exploring. Nonetheless, the bikes and electronic gear could benefit from an update, particularly in terms of compatibility with modern smartwatches such as Apple and Android devices. Friendly staff and the showers and toilets are clean. Plenty of parking.

Courtney Morton 2 years ago

anne howard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beautiful pool. Really enjoyed swimming here during my stay in Brisbane.

A1Cynic70 2 years ago

Negative experience: A swimming pool in which you're not allowed to swim!!! It's true. I took a young man who can't use his legs. We were told that he was only allowed to walk in the indoor pool, to avoid collisions lol. I explained he can only swim slowly using one arm. We were told we had to use the cold outdoor pool. Let that sink in. A YOUNG MAN WITH A DISABILITY WAS TURNED AWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO WALK IN THE INDOOR SWIMMING POOL. THE YOUNG MAN IN QUESTION CAN'T USE HIS LEGS. CLOWN WORLD. Finally, shout out to the highly obnoxious rude scowling lady staff, I love the way they speak down to you, even before I discovered that we couldn't swim in the pool. If they were to ever smile there is a very real danger that their faces might crack.

Deborah Ross 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice coffee banana bread at the cafe

Rebecca Edwards 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great 50m pool. Open area, lots of sun (but plenty of shade too if needed), not cluttered, heaps of lanes, easy access and parking pretty good. Multi pass access makes it easy. Looking forward to the new shower being ready to use as the kiddy bathroom is too hot.

Edith Steele 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, trainers and counter staff. But not enough parking, which limits more attendance by me.

Chiara Gioacchini 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, organised and fully equipped sport centre. For someone who worked in the customer service industry for over 15 years I have to say I am absolutely astonished by the kindness and availability of all the staff. They really go that extra mile to make everyone feel happy and comfortable. Would recommend to all family and friends for sure Well done guys!

Positive experience: Went for granddaughters birthday party. Was awesome the kids had a ball and so glad lifeguards there to supervise. Only problem was very little shade to sit under, would like to see more shady seating

Lewis Aitken 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff 100 per cent. The whole area very tidy pool water great. I came away thinking what a nice comfortable place, atmosphere great.

FutureTheory 2 years ago

Negative experience: Grouchy short haired lady at counter always brought down the mood for me on entry. Maybe find another job if you hate it so much? Gym hygiene practices were good however since the closure of the older gym, it's become too busy and you'll be waiting to use equipment. Not a 24 hour gym either which can limit things. Laughably, they actually charge you to use a small locker for your phone and keys while you train. Way better gyms in the area if you don't care about a swimming pool.

Adrian Li 2 years ago

Negative experience: The machines(leg extension/seated leg curl) break all the time and take forever to be fixed.

Evolve Yoga 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly rate this sports centre not only for first class facilities but the kids club is excellent. The kids club is brand new with wonderful kind staff. I’m very happy I purchased 1yr membership that includes kids club which is so much more affordable than other gyms I’ve looked into.

Cosette Lau 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, good facilities and clean pools. Women's bathroom in the gym is a bit gross (floor must have a gap cos gross water come out of it in the showers) but apart from that it's a great gym and pool. Especially if you like yoga or a meditation class this is the place to go, they have a fantastic lady who's name escapes me that does flow yoga and restorative yoga.

Maree Thatcher 3 years ago

Negative experience: Good gym, not too busy and good range of equipment and classes. Only issue that on multiple occasions I’ve walked in to a group of people “jerking off”, I understand that people with physical impairments attend to this gym, which is lovely, but my daughter was quite disturbed to the point where I had to wash her eyes out with soap, leaving her with permanent blindness in her left eye. Not to mention staff are rude and oblivious to this behaviour and often join in.

Ted Britt 3 years ago

Jessica Kingsley 3 years ago

Negative experience: I visited the Clem Jones centre at Carina with a client as a support worker. Clem Jones is stated as a non for profit organisation with high views on supporting people with disabilities. They however rejected my clients companion card and expected me to pay. A companion card is for people with disabilities to be supported free of charge. This was very upsetting Clem Jones centre.

Fantastic experience: Well maintained centre, always clean. The water temperature in the pool is always comfortable, not cold. The kids have a fantastic mini water park with slides to play on. There is always a lifeguard on duty to keep things safe. The cafe sells decent food and snacks with plenty of undercover seating. There is also a state of the art gym and an indoor pool for recovering and learning swim. Lots of parking and well priced.

D Anthony 3 years ago

Negative experience: Go to the Sleeman Centre at cnr of Tilley and Old Cleveland instead. My family were told to leave because I wouldn't share my family's private medical information with a snot nosed kid behind the counter. Apparently they DO NOT HAVE to discriminate but they instead CHOOSE to, he tells us. Great customer service. Never returning and simply disgusted by the lack of intelligence.

Denis Ellem 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to cool off, and to exercise.

Brian G 3 years ago

Negative experience: Absolutely disgraceful. Gyms are not required to have vax mandates. This business is purposefully discriminating against its fellow Australians who have been going here for many years just because they are not jabbed. For shame.

Negative experience: Got banned from this place for confronting an employee about him kicking out an elderly man because he forgot his towel.

Clem Jones Centre
Clem Jones Centre

Hi Chris, There seems to be some confusion here. The facts of this situation are: Due to the current Covid pandemic, our staff are trained to follow QLD Health guidelines, as well as our general gym etiquette rules. These include the use of towels. The older gentleman was asked to use the towel which he had brought with him. In response to this, you became very aggressive towards our staff. The gentleman was not kicked out, as he kindly complied with our rules. We take aggressive/abusive behaviour towards our staff very seriously, and that is the reason your membership was terminated. Regards, Centre Management
