So far the gym is fantastic! It has been completely refurbished. New machines, very big and complete changing rooms. It is not cheap but so far is really worth it.
The Best classes are Puma HITT and CX Workout try them and prepare to get sweaty. 🏁 And most definitely take a bottle of water with you 🍶 and a banana to gain protein after🍌
To get you through the winter months, give your underwear a whirl in the speedo-dryer by the showers for a nice warm start to the day.
Disagree on the tip about PT's. if you are not afraid to share equipment then share. Don't be afraid to ask. It's a friendly place!
best.jacuzzi.ever ! gym gets overcrowded on weeknights but weekend afternoons are fine
Yann GCNovember 22, 2014Everything you need is there, I think they are renovating... Good idea, can't wait to see what will be new!
Fernando BonetJanuary 28, 2016Amazing gym, I don't see the time passing while doing exercises or relaxing :)- If you are looking for a PT ask for Ash or James. Both great!
One of the busiest gyms: you have to wait for everything!!
Stephen PennackMay 26, 2014Second-rate compared to VA Barbican, and a LONG way behind the Tier 1 club on Essex Rd. Slow service @ front desk. Dirty, dusty & overcrowded. Showers aren't pleasant. In desperate need of a refurb.
The only Virgin gym I've been to with a 32kg kettlebell. If that's your cup of tea.
- Carly BraddockJune 21, 2010The gym always gets very busy on Mondays, but the swimming pool is usually relatively quiet
- Phil HansonFebruary 27, 2011Very nice spa area, much better than the one in Virgin Active Moorgate. Shame there's no squash courts tho!
Holly CJanuary 28, 2013Don't come on a Monday eve - so rammed I'm having to wait for machines to be free.
The water fountain by the Swiss balls has the coldest water to cool down with!
Tuesday, 7am, Jennifer's yoga class, be there or be foursquare... Jen's an awesome yoga teacher
- Monday's and Tuesday's are packed. Avoid at all costs. Even the showers have a line
