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.

I joined halo mainly to attend the Pilates classes back in March only to find that the Pilates teacher had injured her back and has been off work since. I still haven't been to Pilates. Very very disappointing as I resigned from by previous club to join halo as its nearer to where I live. Could halo not employ a Pilates teacher to cover the teacher whilst she is unfit for work?

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We genuinely apologise for the disappointment you've faced regarding the Pilates classes. We understand how important it is for you to have access to the classes you were looking forward to, especially after making the transition to Halo. Your suggestion about bringing in a cover teacher is valuable, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we work to enhance our offerings. We’re committed to improving our services, and your feedback helps us in this process. While our current instructor is recovering and hoping to return to work we have been able to replace here. We have endeavoured to cover the missing pilates classes with similar stretch and strengthening classes. Thanks for your understanding, and we hope to make your experience better in the future. Warm regards, Corina

Car park good. Pool changing rooms very tired and shabby. Needs a refit. Ladies showers also. Taps run for far too long wasting gallons of water. Pool water often very cold. Hair dryer in dry changing room very good. I use this centre because of its location. It could do with an upgrade to the swimming facilities.

The staff on reception very helpful . The changing rooms wow need sorting out . No locking lockers . Shower stunk of urine and very dirty and dilapidated looking . This facility needs money spent on it to sort it out asap. Maesteg community and further afield who use it deserve more . Pool a lovely size for children . Come on Halo sort it out !!

I have been attending Halo Hereford (holmer road) since December 2024. I started attending due to recommendation from a physio to build strength, and as I had received a discount through work I chose Halo over any other gym available near to my home. I had never been to a gym before, and found the whole thing quite terrifying. I was inducted by Sadie, who was incredibly gentle with me and encouraging when I was wobbling. I soon started to attend the small groups, my first being with Philippa on Christmas Eve! I hadn’t lifted a weight before, and through her encouragement and the relationships I’ve built with other regular gym-users, I’ve tripled my ability to lifting 9kg. The atmosphere Philippa creates through Wednesday Small Group and Friday Metaburn is exactly the motivation you need for a challenging class, and she designs the tasks clearly, explaining how to safely progress. She has become an absolute example to myself for how to look after a female mother-body with growth, respect and joy. Having had a persistently unhealthy relationship with my body since childhood, and eating disorders since age 11, I have never felt a respect towards my body. But now I am able to see myself within a mindset of growth, not failure; I am stronger than I have ever been, and as such am able to hold my children better, engage with people with more confidence, and see my body as something to work with- not against. I cannot emphasise how world changing this is for me. I wish I’d come sooner- but perhaps I wouldn’t have engaged with it as meaningfully. I also attend bootcamp with Helen on a Monday, who is so brilliant at building our resilience in with an encouraging and fun attitude. I have also recently started Monday evening Pilates with Tam, who leads the class with a completely zen atmosphere that just connects you to the movements in such a clear and cohesive way. Thank you to all the staff who so professionally and kindly welcome us- I was so scared of going to the gym, but Halo has been the most inclusive space. It’s completely transformed my expectations of the whole experience and I recommend to all I can about the staff, classes and facilities.

Swimming is appalling. Mainly aimed at pontypool leisure. swim club prior never leave on time and aren’t ever prompted to leave when they’re supposed to. Management is dire. Almost a booked out lane swim, so they decide to close two lanes for training without any prior notice leaving everyone un able to actually swim as intended. Never know what you’re going to get with torfaen leisure, one day it’s fine, the next it’s terrible
