Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I normally don’t write things like this but after to days experience I feel the need if only to help them improve. I take my kids to swimming lessons every week an it’s the same thing no free cubics so I have resulted to changing them in the disabled toilet as I have two kids to change at same time but every week the place is filthy it’s obvious that there is no hourly checks being done on bathrooms or changing rooms. I walked in today to find the place stinking of cannabis! Smashed ear phones on the floor a lighter left next to the toilet god knows what sort of gunk on the floor ! On return when the kids had finished there lessons which are 30 mins long the place was even worse this time there was urine all over the disabled seat in the shower area I then reported it to the receptionist who in fairness got straight on it to my amazement the place had more than enough staff members about the place one even sitting on the desk ! Not good enough when there’s young kids about. I hope on my return next Monday these checks will be made correctly! For a council run company this is just disappointing!

Foyle arena has a lot of potential to be a great gym & swimming centre, but it is pointless paying for membership as the facilities are rarely available in the early evening (after work).
In addition to this, the constantly changing schedule of the childrens swimming lessons means the pool is frequently closed to members.
Any local sporting events also use the car park of foyle arena, so going to the gym on the day of one of these events is pointless as you cannot get parked.
Almost every staff member i spoke to gave me conflicting advice regarding fee's, special offers, and cancellation policies. I will be cancelling my membership here in the near future, (not immediately, as I have to provide 30 days advance notice and be billed for another month in the process).
Overall, lots of potential, bad execution.

A fairly sized pool with a nice design to it, changing rooms are weird. I like that it has both a sauna and steamroom.
Gym is above average.
