A great place to go workout! The changing rooms and pool are exceptionally clean and you can use the equipment. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Totally worth it if you’re a keen sportsperson.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough from a swimming lesson perspective. My son (now 7) has been coming here for a few years now and over this time has grown in confidence so much. He has had a variety of instructors over that time and all of them have been encouraging and professional. Shout out to Rob who is amazing!

The rest of the staff are equally lovely with reception staff helping and the car parking attendant being polite and friendly.

Changing rooms are kept in very good condition. There are a few individual cubicles but mostly its shared changing space. There are clean toilets and showers available too.

Outside reception there are a couple of vending machines as well. Upstairs is a cafe but i've never used it so can't comment!

Despite quite honestly being essentially Glastonbury festival for middle class parents in Canterbury when it comes to getting your child a swimming place Kings deserves its good reputation. The staff are caring, they smile, it's clean and sleek without being showy. It feels well looked after and the staff extend that feeling to you. My kids love their lessons there.

Love the gym itself, all facilities are great. My only issue with the place is simply the price. I would happily pay it each month if I wasn’t told consecutively day after day that “the pool is closed” and the explanations are starting to do less to appease my frustration. If you want to offer a gym membership, it should be explained very clearly just how shared the facilities really are. For someone that works a lot it can be beyond frustrating to finally get the time to come in, only to just have to go. Not great value for money, but sadly. Still the best around by far in terms of great facilities.

Great gym and great staff. The children also love playing in the Basketball club here too! Clean and tidy. Unlike most gym centres this centre has sophisticated clientele and appealing facilities.

The behaviour of Karen, the Duty Manager each time I have attended the Kings schools Recreation centre has been rude, disrespectful, and Ill-mannered. Each time they have made my family and myself feel very uncomfortable and upset.
Not all the rules for the centre are mentioned on the website or given as a written document when you join as a member, therefore the management “make up the rules” as they please. Especially rules regarding the swimming pool and usage of mobile phones.
To say I am very disappointed and disheartened is an understatement. I expected more! This was so bad I cancelled my membership within the first week.
