The 30 Best Gym classes in London

“Great gym, great staff. Everyone is friendly and it welcomes all (no matter what age or ability). Fantastic pool and gym equipment, all maintained to a high standard. Reception staff are always helpful (especially Sam who helped me locate my Phone when I forgot it in the changing rooms once !). Highly recommended”

“My son has been going to tumbletots for roughly a year now and he still looks forward to it all week! The sessions are really varied so he never gets bored and he has learnt so much about movement, balance, coordination and problem solving. Sarah and the team are very experienced and so the children are able to take risks and be daring on the apparatus and balance beams in a truly safe, controlled environment. The sessions feel really child-led and the instructors praise creativity, allowing the children to make their way around the equipment in the way that feels natural to them. I have really seen my son’s confidence and personality grow from these sessions and wish I had signed up my older one when he was at the same age! Highly recommend :)”

“Perfect overnight stay, always delightful and attentive staff, check in always impeccable, the lounge a delight and breakfast service, spot on, again, staff are brilliant. Huge comfortable beds, gorgeous bed linen and the most sumptuous fluffy towels, immaculate bathrooms, I always feel I should clean the wash hand basin after brushing my teeth, and you can’t hear the aircraft even though they skim the roof. Highly recommended”

“I've always wanted to swim in this pool since visiting during the Olympics. Booked for the 50m competition pool via the Everyone Active app. At £7 per adult this is great value for money and comparable to any other leisure centre. The changing village was clean, plenty of hot showers, and the lockers (£1 returnable) were well maintained. The pool was clean and the temperature was good for continual lane swimming. Great experience and will certainly return!”

“Highly recommend this academy. Classes are very well run by Gary who is a fantastic coach. He genuinely cares about his students & is very knowledgeable, patient, professional & friendly. The gym is spacious & equipped with good quality training equipment. A lovely welcoming atmosphere.”

“Kaye Howick (Swim Manager) has taught both my children at weekly swimming lessons for over a year. Her calm, proffesional, friendly nature has been really appreciated and both children love her lessons. I would recommend these lessons to any parent.”

“Great atmosphere and a very inspiring teacher. Perfect to boost your mood (and dance skills) - try it!”

“I really enjoy having lessons with Enrico and he’s helped my game massively. Enrico is great at picking out small things that make a big difference to my shots. As well as helping me technically, Enrico has passed on lots of good tactical advice which has made a world of difference to my singles game!”

“Great classes. I highly recommend it! I had so much fun!”

“I’ve been a member since just before Covid and this place kickstarted my love of fitness, to the extent that I’ve now become a qualified instructor myself. I started off with Nancy’s classes and found her so professional- greeting every new participant and learning their name so that you always felt welcomed. I loved her fun approach and inclusivity. Sadly work means I can only do her classes in the school holidays now, but when I do, I leave pump and dance fit on a Thursday morning with a well-needed injection of joy!”

“Mikael and yulia are very enthusiastic and positive every day. Both run really good classes and are always around to help with technique or equipment! Highly recommend this gym, things are constantly improving - equipment is being changed, new equipment, new spin bikes. I know some reviews are harsh but it is the best gym in the area. Highly recommend”

“Amazing gym! Exceptional machines, lovely environment and friendly staff! Umar did the gym tour for us, and explained everything in detail. Very prepared team and ready to assist. Clean facility, endless options for a great workout session, of any kind! 10000% recommend!”

“This review is purely for freddie at front desk. He is awesome. He’s always friendly, welcoming, and quick to help with anything you need. He makes checking in easy and sets a great tone for the gym every time I walk in. Having my weekly interaction with him has kept me more motivated for the gym than ever before. A lovely man all around!”

“I only go to Nuffield because of Gina’s Zumba classes! She’s absolutely amazing — so energetic, positive, and lovely. Her classes are always fun, full of great vibes, and a fantastic workout. Gina has such a great way of making everyone feel welcome and motivated. She really brings the energy every single time. Nuffield is so lucky to have her!”

“I am a member of Golds Gym in Dagenham and have been so for a number of years. In 2021, I had a back operation and looked for a Gym to attend. This particular gym has truly benefited me, with excellent personal trainers, very friendly and helpful staff and incredible facilities for the membership My current trainer has worked tirelessly to help improve muscle strength and my flexibility. He has not only pushes me but encourages me to go that extra distance. I am so grateful for the support I have received and recommend the gym and the personal trainers”

“Hi, I’ve been a member of Chingford Nuffield gym for a couple of years but only recently invested in personal training with Debi Christopher. She is so lovely and I’ve definitely chosen such a good fit for my needs. I ask a lot of questions and she always answers them with knowledge and professionalism… And patience! Within a couple of sessions I could feel both mentally and physically the impact of what she was helping me with in terms of joint pain and level of fitness. My motivation to use the gym and my confidence has improved no end and I would highly recommend Debbi”

“We stayed here as part of a package deal with the Warner Brother Harry Potter studios. The hotel was comfortable and clean. All of the staff were really friendly. Shout out to manager Charlie for organising a birthday plate for my sister. It was really kind and thoughtful. The hotel went above and beyond for us. Fantastic breakfast with lots of variety. The hair dryer in my room didn't work and the reception replaced it immediately. Every interaction we had was really promot. The only negative I would say is the rooms are a little tired. We stayed in a twin room but the friendliness of the staff and the great breakfast make up for that.”

“I went here for the first time, for some women-only swimming time. I went swimming when I was younger, so I thought it would be a piece of cake. Well, needless to say, I almost drowned. A wonderful lifeguard, quite frankly rescued me, from what otherwise would've been a complete disaster. I am INCREDIBLY grateful to her and the other lifeguard, who taught me a few swimming tips. I will be taking swimming classes, starting next week, but I'd like to give a huge thank you to the staff here- THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️”

“The gym has everything you need, Various types of equipment, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, Steam and Sauna rooms. Very clean and staff is super friendly. Also the quality for price is really worth it. I recommend it if you live in the area”

“Really relaxed, and extremely fun classes. Anna is a great teacher and an incredibly friendly and humble person. Everyone is equally as friendly, no big egos to deal with here. As a added bonus, there's funky disco lights too, which is always fun to dance along to!”

“I stayed here for 3 days and really enjoyed it. It started off well with super accommodating luggage storage and the front desk people were very nice and helpful. The room was clean and modern with nice and convenient touches plus daily housekeeping kept it fresh. The shower/bath was lovely too. The location was also nice as well with Kensington High St a short walk away with shops, cafes, restaurants and a tube station. I would for sure stay there again next time I’m in London.”

“I have been visiting the Cheam centre for the last 3 months as part of a group working on "Joint Pain Management" and have been extremely pleased with our health coach Steven who has provided me and the group, not only with excellent coaching to improve our fitness with the aim of reducing pain and becoming more active, it has also provided us with logical and much welcomed ideas to make small changes on our day to day activities that are really making a big difference to me and others on the group. The staff at the Cheam center I have met are also very welcoming and friendly and the various exercise machines I have used are very good and simple to use. Would strongly recommend the Cheam centre and Steven to anyone that wants to better manage their joint pain and to also become fitter and healthier.”

“Fantastic Gym facilities. The staff is always willing to go the extra mile to provide the best experience to the customer. Have been a member for the last 9 years and I am recommending it.”

“I visited for the first time today for the free Tower Hamlets women’s swimming. I was hesitate over the previous reviews but I had a great experience. The pool was quiet (6ish), the showers hot, lockers available for a 20p coin (you don’t get it back) and very easy to go straight in and out. Lots of kids in the kids area which is great to see it being used.”
