Today, 03-06-2024, I unfortunately came across an unpleasant situation at the gym Stockwell. I was…read moreusing a space (where I will publish photos) for a leg workout and was approached by a personal trainer training his client, he had asked me if I was using the space and I said yes, which until then was fine, he was even training his client in the same space as me and there was no problem. A few minutes later, another personal trainer who was giving classes stopped the class to tell me that I shouldn't be training there and that I had to leave. The way I was approached by this second personal trainer was rude for no reason. The first personal trainer was cordial and polite and didn't mention anything about me having to leave the premises, while the second personal trainer preferred to stop the class he was giving so that he could come and tell me where I can and can't train without any need. I was doing my training, the gym is not free and I was extremely embarrassed by the way I was approached in front of other people. I'm paying for the gym to do my training quietly and not to go through stressful situations.

Signing up and getting on the first day can be a total mess so signup online in the morning for an…read moreafterwork session and bring your patience. After that the place is a steal even if the dumbbells only go up to 30kg and there are only two benches/cages for bar squats/press. A good proportion of the clientele is non-Brits (me). There's always tons of good cardio machines free but,the weights do get really busy from 5:30-7:00, however MOST (racist parenthetical deleted) (95%) of folks are fine with you working in on their machine/weights, assuming you don't interrupt their set, even if their English is halting.

I'm not as enamored by this gym as other reviewers, but I will say that it's OK…read more Back in the States, I was a member of the YMCA. Though Y's aren't known for being glamourous or particularly well-equipped, the ones that I frequented in Delaware and Maryland were amazing. I hoped to find a similar gym in my neighborhood, but quickly learned that gyms of that caliber are very expensive. Instead, I chose price & location over equipment and signed on with Fitness4Less. In September, they ran a student promotion for three months of membership for £69 cash. While that is clearly more expensive that £14.99** per month, I was able to avoid setting up direct debit for the UK bank account that I hadn't established yet. I appreciate that there is rarely (never?) a wait for equipment. I can use the elliptical or free weights whenever my heart desires. The reason that I gave this place only 4 stars is because of the limited morning classes Mon-Fri. In the evening (after 5pm), there is a class almost every hour. The range includes yoga, muy thai fighting, zumba, body conditioning, and krav maga. In the morning, there is one pilates and one core conditioning classes *per week*. The rest of the morning classes are spinning. While I enjoy spinning, I find that the bikes are too small for my tall frame (5'9''). I wish that the variety of evening classes was replicated in the morning. On a positive note: the weekend morning classes are great, especially Bogusha's pilates class. She may be over 60-years-old, but she seriously works your body! **The monthly fee is now £15.99/mo.

Virgin Active has been the worst customer experience I've ever had. After I complained about a rude…read morestaff member (at Strand), he retaliated by getting my brand new membership at Chiswick Riverside cancelled behind my back. I was never told -- I only found out when I was blocked at the door. They kept my £125 joining fee, left me without access for a week, and have dragged me through over a month of back-and-forth lies and contradictions. They're now even emailing me from Mill Hill saying I "haven't cancelled" when I clearly have. As a disabled person, I find this not only retaliatory but also discriminatory. For a company charging nearly £300/month, to treat members this way -- silencing complaints, cancelling memberships without notice, keeping money, and refusing accountability -- is beyond disgraceful. Avoid at all costs.

Horrible gym So many issues and it's only getting worse…read more We have been waiting to fix the air conditioning in spinning studio and class studio for over two month already I can not do any classes, because it's too hot and due to broken airco it's smells like fish and chips from the hotels nearby. The broken glass in the spinning room no one is fixing and it's just separated by the ugly red fence The emergence button in sauna is not working for ages. It's not like I need it, but there is sign that they are working on it since I signed in since last year. Few showers are not working for a year. They don't supply plastic bags anymore, because they say they go green and l they only give one towel per person, saying that there is supplier issue but I am pretty sure they are just trying to save some money The shampoo and conditioner are always empty Shower walls and ceiling are covered y mould. But the have a person sitting in the swimming pool and watching. Never seen something like this in my live! The pool is like 1.60 meters max! Who are they watching? Today I came to exercise and someone was painting something in the gym area and the smell was so strong than after 10 min I got sick and had to go home. I felt sick and had a headache afterwards They didn't even bother to to do in the closing times and ventilate the area properly I can not do any classes for more than two month already and now I can't even use the gym. The price is 150 pounds per month btw! So if you want to do your workout and inhale paint and fish and ships please welcome to Virgin Strand!

Shanette at the Camden Fitness Fitness Gym puts the 'S' in superwoman!…read more Her physical and emotional strength is admirable and she is so encouraging, inspiring and on point. Her Glute Gains class is the best pick me up (and on this particularly cold and grey afternoon, I was in dire need of a pick me up!) you could ever ask for. Her exercises are super effective and I have felt muscles work that have dormant for a long time. I may be at risk of getting a much more defined body ;) She is always on form with technique and makes sure that all students are doing the moves properly. This is so important and also mentions the importance of the mind-muscle connection. I left feeling vibrant and ready to tackle a big day at work and I cannot wait for next week. Thank you, Shanette! I would urge you to check out this class which should be renamed, Wake up Wednesdays :)

This is the closest gym to my office and so I've decided to bite the bullet and joined…read more It's a no frills gym - there's not much luxury to be found here. The main space is a big hall with a large selection of fitness equipment - I've never had to wait. Classes are available in the morning, lunchtime and in the evening and the selection is varied, if not a little irregular. The changing areas are decent enough and I've found the staff to be very friendly. Another bonus is that they have outdoor football and tennis courts here for the summer and I get preferable booking and rates. This gym represents fantastic value for memberships and one off visits - it's just under £20 a month on a rolling monthly contract and anyone can turn up and use the equipment and classes for under £5.

With a huge open floor design there is a mass of resistance machines and free weights, making this club an excellent choice for people wanting to bulk up. There are over thirty cardio machines to, so there is something for everyone. There is a large gay community at the gym and the management address this by focusing on this community as the main target audience. This leads to a gym with a diverse culture, although the majority remains well- toned, well-groomed homosexual males. To join this gym costs £50 per month. This is excellent value for the facilities.
