If my hands and forearms weren't on fire, I would type loads more. Suffice it to say that Gareth…read moreand Zade are probably the best coaches I've ever had. Their teaching style is clear and comprehensive. They model each exercise and then have us do like one million reps, coaching us until we get it right. Slight hyperbole there but that's the gist of what they've achieved: a great, varied workout every time, equal parts rigor and encouragement. As tough as the WODs are, leaving me in a halfway unconscious stupor on the floor by the end, I know for a fact that both Zade and Gareth have come over to do a fist bump with me every single time, telling me I smashed it. I've been a member seven weeks, starting with a four-week On Ramp programme with an incredibly nice and dedicated group of people. During that time and since I've been doing the regular workouts, everyone's been having a great time whilst breaking through to new levels we never thought we could reach. It's a real community. It's also a great deal with either ten-packs or monthly memberships. Can't wait for my next WOD and yes, the Christmas party!

Ok, I can understand why people have not reviewed this place, they want to keep it to themselves…read more I am a newcomer in London, but noticed very quickly that having a membership at a gym is not cheap. Memberships commitments are long, non-peak times are short and a sauna is not standard. I come from Finland and I need a sauna. The Circle Spa and Gym is a package of everything. There is a spa, a small gym with modern equipment (including classes), swimming pool (17m), steam room, sauna and a jacuzzi. The space in general is small, so I can understand if it gets crowded after work or even during lunch hours ( I am lucky as I can go any time I want). The cost of a non-commitment membership does not make you hyperventilate with 75£ a month for unlimited use of everything and 55£ for non-peak hours (everything is included in the non-peak except for the classes). If you are ready to commit for a longer time period you get a nice discount. I also got a lot of perks when joining: 30% discount for my first spa treatment, two guest vouchers and 10£ off my first Thai massage and 25% off my first sports massage. I had a peek at the Spa treatments and the price range was pretty standard for central London. The gym is divided into separate cardio, weight training and stretching rooms. Equipment seems fairly new (I am not an expert in this though). I especially liked the modern treadmills with an easy user interface and different programs. And what best, there were plenty of them (6 to be exact). The space reserved for stretching was however very small and crowded even during off-peak hours when there were only a few of us in the gym (perhaps stretching is very popular here). I have a non-peak membership so the classes are excluded, but I noticed that the program is very variable with different spinning, toning, and heavy on yoga and Pilates. The best thing is that the maximum number of participants is small, so you don't feel like you are in a barn full off cattle. The pool is long enough to have a proper swim in. It is not for enthusiastic swimmers, so if you think anything less than 50m is not a pool, this is not your place. The poolside is nicely lit and decorated for a relaxed, spa-like feel. Kids are only allowed between 3 to 5pm also during weekends, so one can float around in peace ( when choosing the time right). The steam room is spacious and the sauna properly heated. Nothing to put a Finn off like a mild sauna. It also felt like a luxury to soak in the jacuzzi after an hour of exercise. One could call the reception and order cold drinks to the poolside for a decent price. If the whole complex would be outside and the weather +30 degrees C and sunny, it would be like a holiday retreat. The dressing room is cute but a bit small. I am not sure how crowded it gets during peak hours. Only 3 showers and not very many benches to sit on. There was a nice set of Molton Brown soap, hand cream and shower gel, so one survives nicely if something is forgotten at home. The dressing room also had a nice smell. So in case you are a gym junkie and train at the same time as everyone else, I might hesitate to recommend this place. You will find more space and equipment to choose from somewhere else (like the Virgin Gym). However if you are a bit gym-lazy (just want to take a spin on the treadmill), consider yoga and pilates as great forms of exercise, and enjoy hanging around at the pool during the day, the Circle Spa and Gym is heaven.

It looks out over the waterfront, and you can run on the treadmill feeling like you're walking on water which is a bit disconcerting but kinda cool. It's clean, the changing rooms are reasonable and the staff are very friendly. By London standards, it's a reasonable cost per month, and you get access to a ton of classes and other local gyms/pool too. Surrey Docks Gym also leaps and bounds apart in terms of quality from its neighbour, my swimming pool nemesis, the seven islands leisure centre. Not a 5* because it opens at 7am which is way too late if you want to get in a whole hour's workout before work. If it could be open from 6 or even 6.30am that'd be brill.

There are a number of free classes and trainers who wander round at your disposal. Machine wise I'm impressed with what they have, and the number. I've never had to wait for a bike or cross trainer. It comes as a good break when I do have to wait for one of the weight machines. I also like the training frame they have and you can always watch what others are up to before giving it a go yourself. Other benefits? This one is particularly low volume (maybe 9pm on a Tuesday isn't a popular workout time). In addition. I can for a small top up add a second gym, which happens to be near my office. Ok so it's just a gym but at £24.99 a month it doesn't feel like too much of an outlay. And if I come twice *cough* a week that's like £3 a go! Let's get gym-img!

You get the feeling that the pool has suffered in order for the authorities to be able to fit more facilities into the one site.

I'm not as enamored by this gym as other reviewers, but I will say that it's OK…read more Back in the States, I was a member of the YMCA. Though Y's aren't known for being glamourous or particularly well-equipped, the ones that I frequented in Delaware and Maryland were amazing. I hoped to find a similar gym in my neighborhood, but quickly learned that gyms of that caliber are very expensive. Instead, I chose price & location over equipment and signed on with Fitness4Less. In September, they ran a student promotion for three months of membership for £69 cash. While that is clearly more expensive that £14.99** per month, I was able to avoid setting up direct debit for the UK bank account that I hadn't established yet. I appreciate that there is rarely (never?) a wait for equipment. I can use the elliptical or free weights whenever my heart desires. The reason that I gave this place only 4 stars is because of the limited morning classes Mon-Fri. In the evening (after 5pm), there is a class almost every hour. The range includes yoga, muy thai fighting, zumba, body conditioning, and krav maga. In the morning, there is one pilates and one core conditioning classes *per week*. The rest of the morning classes are spinning. While I enjoy spinning, I find that the bikes are too small for my tall frame (5'9''). I wish that the variety of evening classes was replicated in the morning. On a positive note: the weekend morning classes are great, especially Bogusha's pilates class. She may be over 60-years-old, but she seriously works your body! **The monthly fee is now £15.99/mo.
