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.

Brilliant place to work out, friendly staff…read more This place feels like more than a gym it's more like a place to train with your family and friends. Great facilities and brilliant management. Every time I visit this place I am welcomed with a friendly, warm smile. Every time I leave I am spoken to (by name) to ask how everything was. Every time I have needed help for anything at all there has been someone to help and they don't charge me for this, unlike some gyms!!!! There is a touch screen computer on the gym floor that has lots of different exercise options that I've never seen before, what a great added extra. I have visited almost all the gyms in this area (roughly around 10) and yes some have much fancier equipment but they are so full up that you can't get on anything and are left waiting ages which is frustrating. I have experienced quite a lot that some gyms in the area are full of younger people taking selfies and not using the equipment properly (easy gym, the gym, pure gym) so if you are looking for a serious place to train with a fantastic, professional atmosphere then you have to visit Fitness First Harringay. I would highly recommend this gym to my friends, family and anyone I know to join here.

Pool or pulpit...that is the question!…read more Here at the Virgin Active in Repton Park, they placed a swimming pool right inside a church...how cool is that? When I first entered the pool I was really taken aback and quite mesmerized - it felt a little sacrilegious, but at the same time I very much enjoyed swimming in this beautiful environment. The gym area itself is also quite neat, as you sweat underneath a prettily-decorated vaulted ceiling. There's plenty of exercise equipment, although the weight-lifting area is a little small. This Virgin Active gym is in Repton Park, which was the site of the fomrer Claybury Hospital - a psychiatric hospital. Apparently there's still the ghosts of the past haunting these premises....

I joined this Virgin as it is my local club about a month ago. This Virgin club is nestled within…read morethe closed community (Repton Park), the best way to get here would be by car, although there is a bus stop just outside Repton Park it is still quite a walk when you are inside. This gym has a Costa Coffee inside next to the reception that also includes food (this can get slightly irritating when working out and smelling food) o_O The gym has quite a few treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, free weights, TRX etc, each machine has a tv screen with the ability to plug in your IPhone/IPod which allows you to listen to your music but also you can store your workout data to your phone too. The most amazing area in this gym is the swimming pool, it is absolutely stunning, the whole gym used to be a chapel for the mental institution, so the decor inside is beautiful. Within the pool area, you also have the sauna and steam room, along with some sun loungers and some juice to drink. The only gripe I have is that there is no air-conditioning (but I don't think there is anything they can do about that due to the building structure).

As an aspiring lightweight boxer from England, I had been training in Mendez Boxing Gym in New York…read more(moved there last year) for the last 10 months or so. My fitness has vastly improved and I have been better off because of it, however, in terms of learning the boxing fundamentals and actual technique, none of the trainers so much as gave me the time of day beyond the generic "hit the bag for 3 rounds, do padwork with x for a half an hour, now shadow box for 3 rounds" stuff you'd find in your run-of-the-mill fitness gym that facades itself as a boxing facility. Nonetheless, despite all the time and dedication I had spent in this gym, I never felt at home, and felt that my efforts and aspirations to AT THE VERY LEAST fight in an amateur setting were neglected, and it felt as if all my efforts and sacrifices were in vain no matter how hard I tried. I train 6-7 days a week and throughout the majority of those days I try and train twice (once in the morning and a second time at night) I had recently returned to England for a 2 week holiday and I had spent time with one of the trainers named Tony, who happened to be a friend of another family friend named Harry Cowap, who had a history of professional boxing in Ireland. Within a matter of a few hours I felt more at home and covered more of the rudimental boxing mechanics at Peacock than I ever did for the last 10 months at the place I was "training" at back over in New York. Nonetheless, even my family who was there to watch me train noticed that everything from my form and performance had greatly improved while training with Tony. I am currently back in New York, I'm not sure when my next trip back home to England will be, and I am currently holed up in New York finishing off uni and training at my old gym (Mendez) for the sake of keeping my fitness, however I will not forget the workout, tutoring and overall kindness that Tony and the gym provided me that day. Since then, my view on Boxing has fundamentally changed for the better and I have a new sense of instilled self-confidence in the sport! Until I return, I say Peacock keep up the damn good work and keep aiming to push and train the next generation of boxers England (or anywhere else) has to offer! Would definitely recommend Tony and Peacock Gym to any and everyone in the London area with a die-hard dream to fight professionally! Proud As A Peacock!

Easily one of the best studio I've ever been to! It's so space age, and futuristic and the classes…read moreare just out of this world! I went for an early morning full body workout and damn was it hard, but also so fun! The trainer was fantastic, really took the time to show us the exercises and help if we were struggling and I liked how varied the class was compared to usually circuits, with a few different circuits to try out. I also liked how there was just 3 in the class, it made the class even more personal. I particularly liked the changing facilities, the showers were so easy to control temperature wise with a separate lever for hot and cold. They also had really nice prdoucts to use - body wash, shampoo and conditioner. I loved how there was lots of hair dryers too, I'm also guilty of leaving with wet hair after a shower, so this was ideal. Only thing I would say in criticism is the changing rooms are a little small, if you had more than 5 people there and it's not the best located place - with only Clapton station nearby. Aside from that though it's the perfect place to train!

The changing facilities are beautiful, clean and well maintained. Although after a busy class they are a little on the small side.

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.

The indoor pool has a jacuzzi and baby pool , and also has special times when it is only adults. There is also a nice cafe area with good food (the best jacket potato with cheese and sweetcorn I've ever had, as long as the chef hasn't changed since I was a kid). It's expensive, so it's up to you whether it's worth it (or, just make friends with a member and then use their complimentary passes...)

They have the audacity to charge almost twice the rate of other clubs. It is overcrowded and parking is usually a problem. They do not offer complimentary towels and I joined at the end of last year and noticed to my horror the filthy state and wanted to cancel immediately. Was told I couldn't because I used it once. Well how else could I assess it without using the club? They put me on a 3 month contract and I'm so glad I'm out of this rip off sub-standard club!
