"More than 1,000 people have signed a petition calling for entry charges at Swansea's new leisure centre to be cut.

Opposition councillors are behind the protest branding £7 to use the water park "a rip off", although there are discounts for residents and families.

Council leaders insist the fees are not over-priced and say the facilities will be the best in the UK when the £32m revamped centre opens in March."

I have just been to look around the LC and joined to the gym. So I felt I should share some info...

The gym is without doubt the best there is(for the average user). Its all the latest technogym equipment with full use of their welness system for tracking your progress..even on the weight machines! You enter the gym and login to the system and it tells you what machines to work on when for your selected goals. Takes a lot of hastle out of training. Plus 2 good studios for classes and pretty much the best spin bikes money can buy. And at 32 GBP with a 3 month min contract, its worth a look. Most gyms want you for 12 months.

The down side is that the spa is another 10 gbp a month. Although I have heared its very good. I would pay 42 GBP for awsome gym and good spa is worth it IF ONLY IT WAS NOT FOR......

Swimming has to be paid seperate!! Swimming is not included.

I love to goto the gym spa and just chill out in he pool. But you cant do that at the LC without paying 6 GBP extra a time. They say its because they didnt want to charge gym subcribers access to the pool only to find its always full. They expect large numbers of visitors to the pool.

At least allow gym users a discount of at least half. All we want to do is spent 30 mins to unwind!
