I have always been active and always a member of a gym, but I never quite achieved either the…read moreweight loss I was always striving for or the toned physic and was getting extremely de-motivated. A colleague of mine then recommended I visit The London Gym and see what I think so I went to take a look. My initial goal was to lose around two stone I had put on since turning 30 (a little while back now) and to coincide the weight loss with a holiday to South Africa. If I am honest, I didn't think it was a realistic goal as I had attempted it in the past and the weight simply didn't reduce to the extent I wanted which was really disappointing. I was working out, putting hours into my gym sessions but really poor results. I signed up and had to keep a food diary which was regularly reviewed via my own personal dietician who is amazing. The critique was tough but very fair and it became a learning experience / re-education to what I should eat and drink and when. It was a surprise to me how often I should eat and was strange to have the recommendation to eat more often but it allowed me to feel nourished and gave me the energy to rise to the challenging workouts that came alongside the dietary changes. It also reduced my snacking tendency and a cheat day was built in to keep me on track. A proper exercise program was then drawn up with a mixture of some personal training, gym work and an appropriate balance of rest. The PT sessions consisted of some tough cardio i.e. circuit style work with working for every muscle group. The range of equipment kept it interesting though and the fact that I could see the progression at regular intervals. I would be lying if I said my personal training sessions were a doddle far from it. I have never worked so hard before or felt so whacked at the end of the hour sessions. However, once my initial conditioning was out the way I was relatively pain-free as I was pushed to a limit but not to the extent that I couldn't walk. The constant changing of the exercises and the fact that I could see definite progression made it all motivational as did the great prompting and encouragement given by my trainer. I am so proud of having lost the weight and love all the compliments I get. Tough bit now is continuing to maintain it but I'm confident I can do it and think that training at The London Gym was one of my best decisions ever. Highly Recommend for people who are wanting a life-changing experience.

A week after completing my initial 4 months membership phase and the results are spectacular, so…read moremuch so that I have signed up for another 2 months! I feel more confident, I have lost weight and my body has started to become toned and defined. I was so apprehensive about this level of training as I have never been a 'gym' kinda person and I had never really lifted weights before. I decided to just go for it and nervous me walked into their private personal training facility and I have never looked back. I was greeted by smiling happy people and felt welcomed and at ease straight away. I met my trainer - Nick, and we just clicked straight away. It's been an amazing mix of laughter, sweat and the occasional happy tears! Nick has pushed me hard, listened, taught me the correct techniques and most importantly helped me shape my body, achieving results that in the past I thought were never achievable. As a first timer to training I am so happy to be paired with Nick, he is so understanding and helpful, especially how he patiently corrects my posture or techniques without ever sounding condescending or like he has told me 100 times before. Not forgetting the invaluable nutritional advice from Maria, I have been able to easily adapt my lifestyle to suit the training programme and not feel like I was ever on a 'diet' or 'meal plan'. She enabled me to have all the recipes and information on hand to help me achieve my goals. The London Gym has something special about them, they make you feel you are part of a club and go that extra mile for you. Amazing attention to client care. Here's to the next 2 months

This isn't your usual cloned fancy fitness centre, it is a great gym for those who simply want to…read morepush weights! Its an easy place to miss with its modest shop front, but when you walk in and down into it's basement, a wide range of free weights and weight machines await you! Its a small local gym that attracts a lot of regulars. everybody is friendly (even if they don't look it when they are towering over you like a mountain of muscle!), but if you start to go there regularly, you will soon learn peoples names and it will feel like home! For me, this does what it says on the tin. Its is nothing fancy, but its a great gym. If you're looking for a fitness first style health club, this isn't for you. but if you just want to push some weights, this is great! it costs around £6 a session for non members, and £4 for members. I was never a member, so I do not know how much membership is, but you must pay a one of £15 intro course if you are a non member.

I was visiting from the US,staying at a relatives house nearby…read more When I asked if there was a gym nearby,I was told yes and we walked up the road .the Young man on the desk was very friendly,and I toured the GYM. it was Great ,a return to Hard Core Gyms that have fallen by the way side in the last few years of fitness,over Power ,Strength, and Size. I came in the next morning and signed up for the week. The other people training in the mornings were Great,Friendly,helpful,and hard trainers.the Morning Manager Andy is Great. After the first week,I signed on for the second week. If you are in the area and want a Great Place to Train ,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND " SQUATS GYM" When I return to visit again I will be back training at SQUATS
