Advantages: Tons of stuff, friendly staff
Disadvantages: not very accessible, expensive if you dont get discount

...business park on which the David Lloyd club is situated. Consequently she managed to sort out a discount membership so instead of paying £65 a month I only have to pay around £40 and can use other David Lloyd clubs at the same time when I am travelling around. Good deal? Well yes it is. The club is fairly large, and is housed in what looks like a purpose built home on the Thames Valley Park, a huge business park which houses companies like Microsoft, ...
...I guess what the David Lloyd team want to do is twofold, to provide a choice to cater for as many different types of people as possible and also to ensure despite the crowds at 6pm everyone doesn't have to line up to get on anything. And it works. I often find myself in there after work when the assorted masses from the IT companies finish work and I have never had to line up for the running machines or anything else. That for me is a real plus point, ... Read review

Advantages: very friendly and ethusiastic staff, fun, cheap
Disadvantages: parking, opening hours

...One day I came across Curves website when searching on Google. Their venue is based in heart of Shopping mole in Redhill. I decided to phone them and find out some information about their concept and price... They were very helpful and well trained to tell you everything you need to know about Curves. I still couldnt believe that 30mins workout 3x weekly could make you tone up and lose weight in combination with healthy lifestyle and right food ...
...by parking in front of Curves by realising that every time I visit I will be charged because I parked at the shopping centre car park but there isnt any other parking avaliable in Redhill centre. It maybe doesnt sound like much £0.60/h but every time you want to pay for parking you have to go inside the shopping centre which is so tempting when you see all those shops and the mashine for paying could really be located nearer too. I got to the gym ... Read review

Advantages: nice friendly atmosphere
Disadvantages: dirty showers, bad customer service

Ive been going La Fitness Northolt since march, got a good membership offer although there was some details the rep did not tell me e.g. i can get a discount because im a student, or the fact that i couldnt cancel my memebrship unless i went bankrupt. customer service is very poor at this branch especially on the phone, otherwise pretty helpfull. ive always had a problem with the music never being loud enough while working out, ive never had an oppurtunity ...
...that they lack good customer service skills. equiptment nice and up to date yet there never seems to be enough cross-trainers, there is always one of service. ussually overcrowded after 6pm. pool too shallow to enjoy but nice, steam room and sauna nice and updated. easy to settle into a gym like this, very friendly members and staff, reviews and consultations with p.t's make you look forward to excersizing. I dont regret joinging this gym at all, ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant laugh, novelty factor
Disadvantages: Pricey as exercise class, the aches & pains, the neighbours wanting a demonstration in the back garden.....

...for our day was a Pinkkiss Pole Dancing Class *gulp*… Now I had been told that Pole Dancing is very good for toning and fitness and it is regarded as a credible exercise form. I'm not sure, however, that 16 girls/women in the tipsy state we were in, doing ANYTHING could be considered a healthy pursuit. No matter the alcohol definitely helped to reduce our inhibitions and we were all game to have a go. Our particular lesson took place in a club ...
...us. I checked the Pinkkiss website though, and a two hour class will set you back £25 based on a class of eight people or more. Pricey as an exercise class may be, but not bad for a special occasion. Pinkkiss hold classes in 28 cities around the UK so there's likely to be one near you! They also offer Burlesque Dance and Cheerleading classes *shakes pompoms* So would I recommend it? As a one-off - absolutely! It was a brilliant laugh, good exercise ... Read review

Advantages: Good value for money, clean and up to date
Disadvantages: slightly small pool

I joined JJB fitness 2 weeks ago and since then have been really pleased with the quality and efficiency of the centre I use. The joining process was simple and as I work for the local authority I receive a discount. The only compulsory part of the induction was a tour of the club which took approx 15 mins. The club offer a personal programme which take about an hour to complete with an instructor. Goals are set and a review date added to the programme. ...
...with a large choice of both cardiovascular and weight resistance machines. The class timetable is extensive and varied, although I haven't yet tried one I'm keen to join in and feel welcome to do so. The bar area makes the gym an ideal place to socialise before or after a workout and the range of drinks and food on offer is good and reasonably priced. The cleanliness of the gym and changing room is superb. My only quibble is that the beautiful ... Read review
