Being located in the basement of the Grange City Hotel, the only thing letting this health club…read moredown is the lack of natural light, but it is so wonderful that you can forgive them. The pool is phenomenal. It's half-Olympic length and decorated with beautiful tiles. The lighting is subdued and it's cut into three lanes so you can pick and choose how vigorous a swim you want. In addition to the sauna and steam rooms, there is an aromatherapy room where you can unwind and forget about the stresses of your day. The equipment is first-rate and best of all you never have to wait while other people finish their workouts before you can jump on the bike/treadmill/etc. This is great if you're nipping in for a workout during your lunch break. They have some new equipment, Hypoxi systems, one of which looks like an instrument of torture and one which makes you look like you've just completed a moon landing but they are supposed to be guaranteed to show great results. The instrument of torture is a bike within a box and you need to wear a special suit while working out. This one targets your bum and thighs, while the other system involves a treadmill workout while wearing the special suit with pipes running off somewhere else, concentrating on your tummy area. I don't really understand the science but the vacuum created by the suit/equipment is supposed to speed up weight loss and toning. I would love to see if it works for the baby fat I haven't managed to lose from my tummy, but at £595 for 10 sessions it's a bit out of my price range. It's not cheap - individual membership is £72 a month, but it's so far above and beyond the likes of LA Fitness or Fitness First that you can justify the additional £15 or so a month for a central London health club.

For me and my wallet, this is as good as it gets. Virgin Active, at least in my neighborhood,…read moreoffers a wide variety of cardio machines, ample free weights and weight machines, and 2 studios for all sorts of cardiovascular and holistic exercises. Additionally, there is a pool, a kids-care, and a spa (which I have yet to try). Both the men's and women's locker rooms offer sauna and steam rooms, so for those less-than-comfortable gym-goers who don't want to sit in a room, half-naked with the opposite sex, this is key. Body Jam and V Core are my favorite classes. You get your heart pumping and core strengthening from these classes. But there are tons more to check out!

The staff have been helpful and loved that I wasn't given the hard sell when making enquries to join.

My personal trainer created a great program that perfectly suits my body's characteristics and would boast the best results in the shortest period of time.

A truly great place to work out.
