Hi Ellie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing to become a member with us.
We're sorry to hear that you've been unable to book an AquaFit class since joining. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially when classes are consistently fully booked or only available via the waiting list.
It's encouraging to see such strong interest in the programme, and we appreciate your suggestion to add more classes to help meet the demand. Feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us understand where additional capacity may be needed.
Warm Regards,

My first time
It was my very first visit and receptionist made me very welcome and explained where I needed to go, lockers, etc. In gym Matt kindly went round each piece of equipment explaining how and what they did. I felt very safe and then happy on my own. Matt checked in with me a couple of times. So, I now feel entirely confident in coming again. I also know that I can seek advice and will be able to work towards increasing my strength.

What's happening with booking Forest Hill Pools
What's happening with booking on the app and on the web for Forest Hill Pools. for instance Tuesday 14th there are only 3 sessions shown from 19:00 onward, nothing before this time (and yes, I have the filters set correctly). Wednesday 15th, there are no sessions shown after 10:50 and before 19:00, everything else is booked. Thursday 16th is the same as the 14th, ie 3 sessions shown after 19:00, all booked, nothing in the morning nor afternoon. In addition, the sessions that I booked last week on Wenesday and Thursday have been cancelled today.... the email says:
Hi xxxxx,
Thanks for your recent booking to attend Swim for Fitness (Booking) on Thursday 16th July 2026, 10:00am at Forest Hill Pools.
Unfortunately, due to a change in the schedule your booking has been cancelled.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best wishes,
The team at Better
For support regarding your Better account, please contact customerservicesATgll.org
This situation has persisted for a least two weeks. The receptionist last week stated that there are problems with the "new system", then suggested I just turn-up.
What is going on because these difficulties are not answered or broadcast by Better?

Hi Dess,
Thanks for your review.
We are currently transitioning our system, so whilst your centres online system is being upgraded (usually over the weekend), you may not see the new sessions until they have been updated - which is usually within 3 days.
To book now, you would select the pool and not the swim type when booking. We can also confirm that all sessions are now available online to book.
We hope that helps!
Warm Regards

Impossible to book swimming
Having joined as a member I expected it to be easier to book swimming however it is as bad as ever I have been unable to book any sessions this week. How do people book so that as soon as I go in to the App sessions are already full. It is hot this week but this is the same situation every week.

Good Deborah
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry you are having trouble booking a swim session with us, and we appreciate your feedback.
Please note that all sessions and fitness classes are open for booking 6 days in advance at 10 pm, so every member has a fair chance to secure the sessions they want.
I hope this helps with your future bookings.

My first time of using the pool today…
My first time of using the pool today and what can I say! The surroundings were peaceful and calming ,the garden area was beautifully maintained. Now for the pool,all I can say is wow!!!! My confidence was at rock bottom after a traumatic accident last year,that nearly ended up in losing my foot,never ever did i think I would get in a pool and start to learn to swim all over again. Already booked my next three appointments there,and I honestly can't say anymore then a beautiful pool in idyllic surroundings and beyond fantastic value for money. A little bit of heaven all tucked away in a charming remote location.
Thank you so much for allowing myself and others the use of this amazing pool.

Hi Julie,
Thank you for your heartfelt review!
It’s wonderful to know that our peaceful surroundings, the beautifully kept garden, and the pool itself created a space where you felt calm, supported, and able to rebuild your confidence.
We're saddened to hear that your traumatic experience led you to hit rock bottom last year, but we're so thrilled that your swimming journey and confidence are growing with your introduction back into the pool.
Hearing that you’ve already booked your next three sessions is the best compliment we could receive.
We’re truly honoured that the pool has become part of your recovery and that it feels like “a little bit of heaven”.
We can't wait to welcome you back soon!
Warm Regards,

Cardiac Rehab Gym Classes
Really great trainer (Alex) who provided an excellent tailored exercise programme over 8 weeks. I was wonderfully supported and encouraged and was given plenty of information and had all my questions fully answered. The course transformed both my physical and mental wellbeing and set me up for regular gym based exercise. I can't recommend the course and my trainer enough. Superb!

Increase of membership fee
I was surprised by the new charge of my membership. I would have thought Better would have first written to me to inform me of such a change and I would be given the choice to either continue or not. Whilst I was told when I first joined that it would be only a small increase, to me the increase is now quite significant as I do not receive any income nor benefits.

Hi Susie,
Thank you for your review!
We understand that you were previously on the 2-year GP referral scheme with our Healthwise team.
Once our members come to the end of the program, you're automatically upgraded to the Graduate Membership type.
This is still discounted from the standard Memberships we offer, and enables you to use the gym, swimming and attend fitness classes across our facilities in Lewisham.
We're sorry if you were not aware of this, as this information is discussed during your initial appointment with the team.
We're more than happy to discuss your Membership options further, and we also appreciate your feedback regarding our communication.
If you have the time, please send an email with some more information to our Customer Service Team.
Our email address is: customerservices@gll.org
We look forward to your response!

I was referred by my GP
I was referred by my GP. I didn't have to wait long for the initial phone call. The advisor was pleasant and checked if it was a convenient time. The gym induction was booked for the next day.
The consultant was patient and did a thorough assessment of my needs.
Then came the hard part - the gym.
I was shown certain pieces of equipment and given an opportunity to use them. I was given a tailored and detailed exercise plan and the follow up appointment was booked in advance.
I attend Forest Hill. The staff are all friendly, it's clean, all the equipment work. Cleaning sprays and cloths are available and patrons use them to maintain good hygiene.
Pleasant experience all round.
Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
