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.

Always helpful and accommodating, when I attended gym , or swimming with my 3 grandchildren and son who is (38 yrs old) friendly staff always, could be more changing facilities ie the red changing stations for babies and extra spaces to house the changing stations but we have worked around this when the small pool is not so busy . Now and again there is a strong smell from the drains and a strong smell of urin from the floor in changing rooms

Could do with a refurb , changing rooms are dirty and under maintained and swimming pool could do with a facelift

Hi there, Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the need for refurbishment and maintenance in the changing rooms and pool area. We’re committed to providing a clean and welcoming environment, and we understand how important these aspects are to our visitors. We invested in our pool changing rooms over the Christmas period and gave them some extra TLC if you have not yet visited us since then we would love to see you again. We hope to make further improvements and look forward to seeing you at Halo again in the future. Best regards, Team Halo

My halo centre in Merthyr tydfil is very clean, with friendly and helpful staff overall. Gym instructors Mark, Liam and Rhys are highly motivating in classes and bring positive energy to the sessions. I feel customers would benefit from some direct advice on techniques in the classes, particularly on the safe use of weights. The reception area could benefit from some more 'charisma' , but no one is at all rude.

The machines can sometimes be dirty. But generally in working order and good equipment for a good workout

I’m quite happy with Bromyard’s Halo. It’s clean and tidy with a friendly group of people running the place. I would like to see a card entry turnstile so that all users are in fact paying members.

Although a small facility, Pyle provides a clean functional place to swim and have a basic workout in the gym. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Centre is warm, clean, friendly and well organised. I only do Aquafit classes which are always excellent. Wendy Almond is a brilliant teacher who inspires you to work hard. Now for the negatives. The classes are too full and overbooked. People are setting their alarms for 7 a.m. To ensure a slot. There needs to be additional classes if you are introducing new members. The toilets need cleaning properly wiping the top of the loo seat is not enough. The loo rolls need refilling more often. I would not recommend a friend as my classes are already oversubscribed.

The center is old and tired, has poor choice of equipment in comparison to other gyms in the area, poor sound system. Would be great to see a refurb of the gym, or even just a lick of paint to make this a better option for the local community. The opening times arent great either. I am a member out of convenience as this is the most local gym to me but considering leaving for puregym, mostly because of opening times but also the atmosphere and cost.

Great sessions excellent tutors and helpful friendly staff throughout the centre I have not met a member of staff who has not been welcoming friendly and very helpful from those in the gym and pool areas to those who run classes and especially those on front of house who have to work in quite challenging situations sometimes, always helpful and welcoming

Squash courts are very rarely cleaned. Changing rooms are cold. Cafe/catering facilities have a poor range and are not always opened at key times, eg Sunday morning closed when there are events on and people would like to grab breakfast or a coffee. Gym is decent, equipment is ok but more than acceptable. Sauna/steam room removed several years ago and this is a real shame given the health benefits, particularly saunas. I appriciate it is expensive but Ebbw vale have managed to keep theirs, possibly some support from local council could help with this.
