About Halo:

Halo is a registered charity and social enterprise running 25 sport and leisure centres throughout Herefordshire, Bridgend County Borough, Merthyr Tydfil, Shropshire and Swindon on behalf of the local authorities. We often discuss our status as a social enterprise, but many of our customers are unsure of what it actually means and more importantly, how it benefits them. Being a social enterprise means Halo trades for social purposes. We are a registered charity and 'not for profit' organisation, with no shareholders.

The money we make is ploughed back into the facilities.

Staff are always helpful and friendly be it on reception, in the pool or in the Cafe. They go above and beyond for their customers in Aberfan, it’s fantastic. The only down side, is the strong smell of urine in the changing rooms, I think the shower curtains could be removed as that’s what seems to be smelling.

Thank you for your comments, I will pass them onto the team. The shower curtains are laundered regularly, we'll get the team to investigate the smell in the changing rooms.

Awesome staff. But awful upkeep. Broken and dangerous gym equipment. A floor with huge sunken patches, sides falling off boxes, wobbly benches, a health suite with broken jacuzzi and steam room, filthy changing rooms downstairs where noone (not even staff) take shoes off. They also recently cancelled lots of evening swims without replacement. The slides are back on though, so that's a plus.

The centre is vital too many, it offers a fantastic wide area of facilities to suit young and old, or in my case aged. The facilities are 5*, in particular the gymnasium which having enjoyed a recent upgrade and introduction of new and new styled equipment. There is something for everyone, whether it's the upper floor gymnasium or downstairs Pilates or even the wonderfully maintained swimming pool. Their whole centre is kept pristine and overall cared for by wonderful friendly staff of which it would be unfair to separate as individuals. Well done everyone, members appreciate your efforts.

I love training in Rhydycar the gym assistants are amazing and i could not do it with out them! They are very caring and supportive and look after you! A gym needs assistance from PTS for people like me who has no idea what I’m doing? I would not go to any other gym! I hope they don’t leave x

Since the reduced hours for under 16 hardly been able to use the facilities and not at all since back at school. And there has been no reduction in membership along with the very restrictive hours. Planning to cancel membership

Just got yelled at for stepping on a banner on the floor. The workman said it cost £7 grand. Why are you closing classes like Good Boost and wasting money on fancy banners?

Cwmbran stadium is very well equipped. Gym equipment well up to date and staff are always available. All staff are very welcoming and friendly. Sometimes there is a shortage of disabled spaces - could we have more in that area near the entrance?

Classes are good although sometimes timings could be better as things like yoga, pilates ad aquafit are either same time or too close together to attend both.

I was initially reluctant to join Halo but Bridgend Halo is friendly, organised and efficient. All instructors are professional and the classes varied and suitable for a range of ages and abilities. The cost is excellent for the facilities available. Having come from a private gym I am very impressed.

Good facilities and helpful, cheerful staff Would be nice to have the gym quiet rather than loud radio in a morning

Staff dont interact and dont ensure people wipe down the kit which is why it's not clean as it could be
