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.

The staff are friendly and helpful and the gym is very clean. I'd like it if there was more space to stretch out and do free weights. The swimming pool is very cold; I do not find it suitable for toddlers so I pay for lessons at Malvern Splash. I wish there were more exercise classes as the classes are often over-subscribed. The opening hours are also limited. On the whole, I find it over-priced for what it is.

Hi Alexandra, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We're glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and our gym clean. Regarding the pool temperature, we understand your concerns, especially for toddlers. We'll review it to ensure a more comfortable experience for everyone, this being maintained a temperature of 29.5 degrees. This is within the pool guidelines that meet all sessions and swimmers who use us, from the general public, club swimmers and parents and tots. Our classes are very popular, with most of our members booking multiple sessions. Offering more classes wouldn't necessarily be the answer to reducing this. Your insights are important to us as we strive to provide the best experience possible. Warm regards, Team Halo

Friendly staff, good choice of classes. Parking can be challenging and sometimes cleanliness of pool areas - changing rooms and toilets - could be better.

Friendly staff, good range of classes and facilities but jacuzzi always broken, old and broken equipment about, scruffy decor and a bit dated.

It is impossible to get onto any spin classes not been since May 2025 and when one does come available it is usually too late to organize yourself as the class starts in 30 to 45 mins CRAZY

The gym at Cwmbran is fantastic, the gym at Pontypool is very tired. I swam at Pontypool on a Wednesday at 5:30pm recently. There were 15 people in 2 lanes which was ridiculous and dangerous. In my opinion there shouldn’t be more than 4 people per lane to accommodate the differing abilities. Also there appears to be less swim sessions at both Cwmbran and Pontypool.

The classes and facilities were good on the whole, but the sauna suite disappointed me the most that it wasn’t always working at pontypool leisure centre. It could do with a refit as it’s tired and worn.

Gym equipment always clean and well maintained as is the changing room. Staff always greet with a smiley face. They never appear stressed or unhappy to be in work. Good vibe. I would give a 5 star rating if the water tap was fixed..feels like ages now. Replaced with a tap and a bucket. Anything! I d give you an imaginary 6 star rating if you put a reminder in the changing rooms that staring at your phone for way over 3 minutes between sets may not demonstrate thoughtfulness etc! (I am being polite!) Shame the machines don't have a max 3 minute rest period alarm as a reminder.

The staff are very welcoming, cheerful and helpful. If we have any concerns about anything we feel able to talk to the staff. The biggest discussion point seems to be the popularity of aquarobics and that sometimes they are overcrowded. It is generally felt that classes should be a little smaller and more often.

The staff are friendly and helpful and work hard. Some of the money spent upgrading the gym could have been used to improve the toilets and showers downstairs.

The centre staff are very friendly and welcoming. The gym has a good level of equipment for a small centre, though elliptical machine no 3 seems to give a heart rate reading when not holding the handles and a couple of the weight machines seem to regularly have issues, like the lat pulldown not allowing incremental weights. It would be great to have a body fat / measurement machine like that available in Hereford and it’s a shame the centre is not open on weekend afternoons
