  You'd have to pay me a whole lot of money to use this dire facility. Useless staff, poor atmosphere, not to mention the low life detritus that frequents the place. Lots of trouble makers, 'big fish in small ponds' pushing their weight around (usually in groups) and actually looking for fights with gym users.

  Extortionate cost to use squash court, despite attending with a member and the fact that courts are in disrepair. Unhelpful reception staff also failed to share this information with me, prior to using the facility.

  Unfriendly gym with an extremely bad vibe. Would definitely not recommend to anyone who is serious about training.

  As most other reviewers have pointed out, you can expect this gym to start out at a base level of "overcrowded" and work up from there. I would typically head there first thing in the morning as it is barely worth it to go there in the evening time. It really is a tiny facility for what is supposed to be one of the top universities in the world. To add to this, the showers are regularly out of order (gym staff never notify members in advance if this happens, causing people to turn up and have no option of a shower facility). The customer service is shoddy at best, any complaints would typically fall on deaf ears. The weights area is pretty pathetic, with a bare minimum of free weights while a dis-proportionally large area is given to bar weights/benches etc. Space for stretching and core work is minimal also. The only relatively positive aspect of the gym comes from the classes which are quite good and varied but, even then, their booking system is a shambles with many classes being overbooked and nothing being done about it. All in all, I'll be making sure to join the new branch of "The Gym" in this area as soon as it opens EDIT: updated review to say that I have now left this gym. The staff's indifference to any of the above issues is pretty insulting. The Gym Bloomsbury is a far better option in every sense

  Big gym in a good area in Bloomsbury. The student prices are quite good and they get lower the longer you buy your membership for. It is quite spacious with multiple squat/bench press racks and a few deadlift platforms also. Pretty much every other machine you could need is also present but it does get very busy during peak times so unless you want to work in with someone, you're going to have to wait until the machines you want are free.
