A friendly place which is good value and well maintained. A health and fitness place rather than a weights gym but a wide variety of free weights, smith machine, resistance machines, running, step and rowing machines. A nice freshly kept swimming pool. Clean equipment, good changing facilities, lockers and steam room. The polite staff are always happy to give a tour of the place- please pop in for 5 minutes and look around as its great value. Please ignore the other review giving a poor rating. I'm aware of this individual who spent his time hanging around the showers and changing facilities rather than training or swimming and attracted the negative attention of several members who expressed their disquiet at his behaviour.

Which sort of works to its favour, since it doesn't seem too well known outside of the locals. I visited with a friend after buying a voucher on Lastminute.com. The spa is very nice and the staff very welcoming. We were on the day spa package, which included a lunch. The manager showed us around the changing areas, the treatment areas and the restaurant. It's a well laid out spa, and has all the expected facilities - massage/treatment rooms, a steam room, a sauna, sun bed, swimming pool, jacuzzi and a gym. We made good use of the facilities, starting with lunch. I had the stir fried vegetables and chicken, with miso noodles - not sure this was a strong item on the lunch menu, as the miso paste wasn't mixed in very well and the dish was really salty. But the fruit juice smoothie of the day was amazing and made me feel super healthy - it was peach, mango, banana and honey - yum! My friend's lunch faired better with grilled halloumi and salad. The facilities are well kept and it all looks quite new. If you are a day spa guest, then there is a "dry room" that you can use too, where you can relax on a sun lounger and read magazines (or in our case, fall asleep... yes, it was all incredibly relaxing!). If it wasn't so difficult to get to, I would be back - but then, that's probably to its favour as you probably don't want to be inundated with people.

There is an underground swimming pool, top of the range cardio and resistance machines, exercise areas and studios for classes. With all top of the range gyms there are on-site therapy rooms for pampering sessions when you've finished your workout and the Lab is no different. The big plus with The Laboratory is the stunning gardens where (weather permitting) some of the classes can take place, or somewhere you can chill out with your drink from the juice bar.

Two visits at this club and to be honest, I don't really want to go back. While this chain usually…read morehas a good reputation, I was quite surprised by what I saw. Membership is around 80 quid per month which sounds great because they have a swimming pool. So was I was not able to see the pool as it was being fixed this week. What I have seen is the reception area, the changing rooms, the cardio rooms and the machines. I will write a few lines about each. The reception area is on the first floor and one is not really sure where to go exactly. After seeing the building itself, I have to say, it looks like a scampy old building and not very nice. Once passed reception, you pass an area with some tables - not too sure though what they are for. So far, I have only seen employees sitting there on their break. The changing rooms are quite nice though I have not yet figured out why some are reserved and others are not. They are quite nice but make sure you have the right padlock with you. But you need one of the large ones. Otherwise you need to buy one from them! The cardio and machines rooms are nice. Seperated into three rooms, they allow enough space for all to use - except at peak times. Bikes, cross-trainers, running machines etc. all there. Just make sure you bring a towel. Lots of people don't. Rather nasty when people (esp. some men) are sweating heavily! They do provide sanitary towels but hardly anyone uses them. Another downside is that there are only 8 mats for stretching etc. - a few more would certainly do. The machines are nice, but for most you cannot change the back or sitting height unfortanutely. Also, there is only one machine of each. This means some waiting time ussually. Overall, the gym has potential. I would advise the management to ask members to use a towel at all times underneath themselves. Also, there should be at least one member of staff around the training area at all times for help and advice. Otherwise, members must go all the way back up acoss the floor to get to reception to ask. Right now, this club can only get 2 stars because too many things are going wrong or are in urgent need of improvement!

They have a gym, and hold fitness classes of all types, I have a few friends that take the classes here, but have never taken any myself. My friends have been going for quite a while so they must be quite good. I do however go to park lane for other reasons. In London, you do not get many out door pools, probably due to our great climate. There are a couple that I know of, one being in Hampstead Heath, and the other at the Park Road Leisure Centre. On the weekends, especially during the summer holidays as a teenager, I was here all the time. It is a great place for youngsters to meet and socialize and get some exercise. On those sunny days it was great and was the highlight of my week. The outdoor pool is only open from may to September, and if it is raining during those months, they also have an indoor pool, so no need to worry.

You also get discounts on local restaurants included in the price and access to personal trainers. Staff are very friendly. Lots of classes included in price. Unfortunately, there is no swimming pool, although they are planning to open a gym with a pool in Enfield shortly, which members will have access to. Main complaints are that the changing area and main gym are a bit smelly and the room in which classes take place can get too hot when full. Bring your own towels as they do charge extra for this service.
