The 30 Best Gym classes in London

“I have visited this shop twice now to buy cricket equipment for my son. I live in Gravesend so its a bit of a drive but utterly worth it. The knowledge of the shop owners is incredible and the advice they give you in selecting the right equipment is second to none. You will get items cheaper online for sure but will it be the right size, make etc. Shops like this are a rarity and we must do everything we can to support them. I can't wait to visit them again when my next son needs kitting out.”

“A friend suggested to come to train, I tried a few sessions and fell in love with the community I was training with. The teachers were very helpful and showed me ways I can improve my body and martial art skills, if you had to choose a place to train, I’d train with these people.”

“Our physiotherapy team have been collaborating with the Busen team to provide access to the gym for older teens to help encourage self management and provide inclusive exercise opportunities for children with long term physical needs. The Busen team have been really helpful throughout. The space really great, there is a good selection of equipment. The space is always clean and well maintained. We are very grateful for thier help and support.”

“I found a passion for MMA when I completed the wimp to warrior program. The coaches are very knowledgeable, they provide a wide range of classes for all abilities and there is such a great friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend it.”

“Friendly environment, well organised Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. I can't say enough good things about this place and the team.”

“I recently had the pleasure of completing a nutrition course at Train for Gains Academy, and I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. The academy's commitment to excellence truly sets them apart, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge in the realm of nutrition. I was instantly pleased with Train for Gains Academy's thorough and well-structured program. In addition to being educational, the course material was thoroughly presented to accommodate students with different levels of prior knowledge. Carlton showed that he had a thorough command of the material and a sincere desire to see his pupils succeed. I was able to put the knowledge I learned in the nutrition course to use right away since it skilfully combined theoretical ideas with practical applications. I wholeheartedly recommend Train for Gains Academy to anyone looking to delve into the world of nutrition. The exceptional quality of their courses, combined with the passion and expertise of their instructors, makes it a top choice for individuals seeking a transformative learning experience. I am grateful for the knowledge gained and the positive impact this course has had on my understanding of nutrition. Thank you, Train for Gains Academy, for exceeding my expectations and providing an unparalleled educational journey!”

“I have wanted to do dance classes for all of my adult life and always chickened out due to stage fright/anxiety, fear of being judged and under qualified at even “casual” classes. At the start of this year I pulled the trigger and did some taster sessions at Studio K and never looked back. All the instructors and members are so welcoming and friendly. A variety of levels of fitness and body types (which is refreshing, especially in ballet!) and everyone from people who have never danced to seasoned dancers. It has been a wonderful social experience and chance to be able to indulge in a range of dance styles I never thought I’d be able to do in the same place plus a discovery of others (Waacking is life changing). I only wish I had time to go more often! Thank you Studio K - especially Ginger and Sarah who I normally do classes with. Try out the taster sessions - you won’t regret it!”

“Excellent place to study ballet. Attached to a very good company.”

“What a fantastic service offered by MyTamarin. We have been using the night nanny services for our newborn and Fran at MyTamarin has been brilliant at coordinating the much needed support. She is a pleasure to deal with and highly responsive. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she has been flexible and accommodating of our needs. Many many thanks Fran you have helped us through these early weeks wonderfully.”

“We had a really positive experience buying our school uniform. Sujanu, who helped us, was excellent she was very polite, friendly and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She guided us patiently, made sure we had the correct sizes, and offered useful advice which made everything so much easier.”

“Thank you so much Dr Dev and the whole team at Ina health Dental practice. I cannot thank you enough for for the way I was treated from start to finish. I was always made to feel so comfortable and you have been nothing short of amazing in giving me my smile back! I highly recommend your practice to anyone seeking high standard of clinical excellence with a highly professional team that shows genuine concern for patient well-being. You truly are the best!”

“Wow! Come and see Scrooge, put on by the University students! You will not be disappointed! The talent of the young people involved was phenomenal! Singing, dancing and acting in various roles. Wow get a ticket whilst you can!”

“I did not expect the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere when I arrived at the clinic. They were very professional but made me feel at ease and I received my results sooner than expected. I got through the border without a problem. Thank you for the unexpected kindness and efficiency. I will definitely recommend the Chelsea Bridge Clinic to anyone needing a Covid-19 test for travel.”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Clinic4Sport. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff. The clinic is well-equipped, clean, and has a positive atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. My therapist, Uday, is nothing short of exceptional. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my condition before creating a tailored treatment plan. Throughout my sessions, Uday demonstrated a deep understanding of physiotherapy techniques, and explained each exercise and its purpose, ensuring I felt confident in my progress. Thanks to Uday, I’ve experienced significant improvement in my mobility and overall well-being. If you’re looking for a top-notch physiotherapy clinic with knowledgeable and caring staff, Sport4Clinic is the place to go!”

“Stayed here back in April. Loved it! Very quiet area and close to buses, Imperial Wharf train, and Earl’s Court and Fulham Broadway tube stations. I love the Tesco grocery store down the street. Good restaurants in the area within walking distance. The Doubletree Hotel next door was great for drinks and morning buffet breakfast!”

“Nice little square with a cafe in the middle and a couple tennis courts. Lovely to walk around in with the dog and plenty of benches to chill out on”

“Prime acrobatics is a fantastic facility with passionate, caring staff that really bring out the best in every child. We have attended several parties with our daughters and their preschool class is exceptional!”

“I’ve been to a few different circus classes in the past but I always felt that they were too focused on fitness side of things and not really the art and beauty of circus. With other circus classes it feels like the new get fit craze but Forgotten Circus School is the perfect combination of working on strength/ fitness but also /training/ and nurturing an art form. The teachers genuinely care about your progress and you can see the love they have for their particular specialties. They will speak about how what you’re learning can be applied in future routines and performances, or wherever you choose to take your circus journey, which is very inspiring. I started in February and have been coming every month since, I can’t really imagine my life without it now and I can’t see myself going anywhere else. Every class is fun from the warm up till the very end and everyone who attends supports and encourages each other, it’s a really lovely sense of community.”

“Just had a Pickle Ball taster session, great fun!”

“Love this gym! The Muay Thai classes are phenomenal with a focus on technique strength conditioning and loads of sparring. Great for beginners and fighters alike. BJJ is world-class, staff are super friendly, and the place is always really clean. Respect above all!”

“Jess Field has been treating my onslaught of arthritis and its after-effects. Her advice has been knowledgeable, reassuring and positive, helping me to recovery. I really appreciated her follow-up emails detailing recommended exercises that I could refer to later.”

“Great boxing gym, fantastic coaches and super interesting (and super tiring in the best sense of the word!) classes.”

“Been training here for 9 years (almost 10) and I’ve never felt better. It feels like my second family and it’s a great club!”

“Jack Jackson (osteopath) was terrific. I have been putting up with shoulder pain for over a year and it was getting worse. Jack thoroughly diagnosed and treated the area and gave useful homework exercises to do. It felt a lot better already just by the end of the appointment.”

“Awesome Muay Thai training and community. Always enjoy my sessions here and would recommend it to everyone regardless of gender and fitness levels. First time I came I couldn’t find it initially so in case anyone else is as unobservant as me -As you enter the industrial estate go past the window company and then the car garage. It’s on the right hand side just after that - look for the red shutters”

“Ana is such an amazing instructor. She made the class so fun and enjoyable while learning very key skills. I would definitely recommend her classes to everyone!”

“I’ve been a member of the Muswell Hill Club for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and wellbeing. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed with genuine warmth by the reception staff—always friendly, helpful, and professional. A special mention must go to Hussein, the owner, whose passion for the gym and commitment to creating a supportive, well-run environment is clear in everything he does. He’s approachable, flexible, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares about the members’ experience. The trainers are another standout feature of the club. They’re knowledgeable and motivating. I love the aquacise classes run by Angela Enahoro and Anna Borodina, both are different in their methods, but both help me achieve my fitness. They’re truly AA! The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need. There’s a real sense of community at the Muswell Hill Club, which makes working out feel more like something to look forward to than a chore. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional gym in North London!”

“Had a fantastic party for my son's 9th birthday. Angus was superb at making it fun, & controlling the kids! He was also very helpful and friendly & immediately built rapport. The kids all had a brilliant time & went home happily telling their parents how fab it was. Excellent company from start to finish. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks!”

“I had a wonderful experience previously with Amanda on static trapeze, the warm up at the start, and the stretching sessions included after classes, all have been absolutely fantastic! The supportive atmosphere and expert instruction at this aerial home have been a game-changer. I’ve enjoyed every moment here, and hope to return to continue my progress in the future!”

“Circus Glory is a real gem of a circus training space! Having done aerial silks for several years I decided to try trapeze and chose Circus Glory purely because of proximity to where I live, and I have found the classes to be rewarding in a way which other circus classes I have taken have not been. The location is wonderful — a small and intimate space which allows you to be within sight of the teacher at all times, which makes for a safe environment. You feel like you're doing trapeze in the trees because of all the windows! As a teacher Geneviève perfectly balances seriousness and strictness with kindness and encouragement. You feel that she wants you to strive to be the best you can, yet you don't feel under pressure. She is extremely knowledgeable and in tune with all of her students' individual needs and levels, and you feel very safe in her hands. I have found the other students in the class kind and welcoming — everyone supports each other regardless of different levels within the class. Overall the atmosphere is one that makes me want to return even when I am not living just down the road! Definitely give this class a try if you are curious about circus arts.”
