The Riverside Bar & Cafe

Some of the machines are a little outdated, but do what you need them to. The jacuzzi has been shut for a while, along with the steam room. However, the friendly staff, who always greet you with a smile, pool, and sauna, make up for it. The membership is not bad for a facility with a pool and sauna and tennis courts and food bar. They just need the jacuzzi back on in good working order 🙈. It has a nice atmosphere with very little overcrowding, and not many youngsters who sit at the machines texting. Parking is free and right outside the facility. A little cash injection to update the machines wouldn't go a miss. But overall, I really enjoy this club. Well done, guys. 👏

I visited to see if I wanted to rejoin this gym. I previously was a member when it was Dragons gym, and then LA fitness. I was surprised and disappointed that it looked grubby in the changing room and showers. There was a very rusty post in the swimming pool area - it's like nothing had been updated for years. But, a big but, staff were very friendly and helpful. The cafe area inviting, and the gym well equipped. The pool was warm as was the sauna. Other spa areas were turned off due to high energy costs (same as another local gym) but after visiting the other local facilities, I will be returning to Freedom for a swim each week as it was very welcoming and affordable.

New member, don't like the whole gym ethos. But needs must, I have a very bad back and wanted a gym with a sensible pool. So 1st day today did 20 minutes on x trainer and 660 meters in the pool and found everything great. Staff very good, equipment good pool and changing facilities as you would expect. No complaints for the price.

Amazed at some of the negative reviews on here. Some people love a moan. I joined after trugym shut and I love the place. Very good value and equipment is of a good standard. Also not usually too busy. Friendly atmosphere. Im finding im training more as a result I also take my little girl swimming there most Sundays.

Great place to have a tennis practice but unsure about how its synthetic clay surface stands up to the real thing. I've played on actual clay courts in Carlsbad Ca, but is been a while. With that said. This club has great amenities like a quaint but nice bar/Cafe with a pool and full fitness club. This is the home of Maidstone Tennis Academy and features indoor tennis courts as well.
