How This Started
My fitness routine began in a small club near 3 Gym Lane in London. It was not perfect, but it was accessible, affordable, and it helped me build consistency.
After that place closed, I noticed how quickly the fitness scene in United Kingdom was evolving. New clubs opened, new concepts appeared, and marketing became louder than real member experience.
I started trying different gyms and classes, keeping notes after every visit. Over time those notes turned into this website, built to help others make clearer choices.
My Approach to Reviews
Every review on this site comes from real visits and real time spent inside the club. I focus on practical details that matter when you are choosing a membership.
When I review a fitness center, I typically:
- Invest enough time to grasp routines, peak periods, and patterns
- Visit on various days and times
- Experiment with multiple training formats and instructors
- Regularly use amenities to assess cleanliness and comfort
- Speak with other members about consistency and discrepancies
- Make notes right after each visit
I update reviews when there are significant changes such as renovations, changes in management, pricing adjustments, or new facilities. Each article displays its most recent update date so you know how current the information remains.
What I Look For
My priorities may differ from yours, so here is what I consider most important when evaluating a gym:
Comfort and Privacy: Does the space feel thoughtfully designed for members, with clear boundaries and a calm environment?
Equipment Quality: Are machines well-maintained? Is there sufficient variety? Are repairs done promptly?
Crowd Management: Can you train during your preferred times without constant waiting?
Clean Facilities: Locker rooms, showers, floors, and equipment surfaces. Cleanliness reflects how seriously management takes member experience.
Honest Membership Practices: Clear pricing, clear rules, and no unexpected charges.
Beyond the Gym
Outside of training and writing, I live and work in London. This project is here to make fitness choices easier and more transparent for people looking for the right environment.
