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.

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!

It was with some trepidation that I finally had to do this - ouch! Yes that day came for getting or…read morerather starting to get back into shape having put on put on 2 stone over the last two years. So I sought out the nearest (professional) person who could help me and I found someone called Jana Matouskova - very local to me in Southgate (which is handy) but she normally works at a Fitness First in the City. Didn't really know what to expect but she was pretty cool, put me at ease, and then spent a long time talking to me about the usual, diet, exercise (or lack of) and surprisingly my sleep pattern, and how much water (not hot drinks) I drank a day. After the questionnaire it was a warm up which wasn't too bad, inc stretching etc. and then she kind of revved up the workout in stages with small rest periods of a min or two until I actually felt I was working out quite hard. Bear in mind this was after a long time with no real exercise except a lot of daily walking so I was quite pleased with myself until she told me this was a gentle starter exercise. She was pretty attentive to how I was doing and one one occasion she said she could tell that the exercise didn't fit with me so she modified it slightly as she could tell my knees weren't quite up to it yet. After a warm down we discussed making a few small changes to my diet and then when to meet for the next session. Overall I was very impressed, one thing she said while discussing diet was "I cant make you eat raw spouts" by which she meant that my diet would be best approached by making small sensible manageable changes that combined with the routine she left me with to do 2 maybe three times a weeks would bring on quite dramatic changes to my fitness and tone over the next few weeks/months. Maybe I'll post more after next few sessions but I would definitely recommend her as a PT/ nutritionist to anyone wanting to shape up and I will definitely be going back for more (punishment)

I am not a professional and I needed a boxing club just like this. As I am a beginner in this sport…read moreI want someone to teach me and here I found a personal trainer and the others also helped me a lot. The trainers are professionals and they build a whole program that starts with warm-up exercises and stretching. Then we group out in pairs and start a little sparing, friendly of course. Then we finish with a cardio blast and the whole train is 90 minutes long. I suggest everybody to try this sport and this club is the best to start.

I was looking for a gay (LGBTQ+) personal trainer, and a quick search led me to Marios. I set up a trial training session and ever since then I was hooked. I was hooked mainly because Marios is such a down-to-earth guy and I really enjoy our chats in-between the various sets. And - a very nice touch is that every time I come for a training session, a freshly-brewed cup of tea is waiting for me. Last time, he made a mint tea, with leaves from his garden. The studio is at his house in Arnos Grove, which is a bit out of my way, but it makes me ride my bike to and from the session, which adds an additional layer of exercise. Also, what I also like is the flexibility of scheduling. I am not the person who adheres to a rigorous schedule. I can book a session last minute (if there's availability) and most weeks, I actually pick a slightly different time or day...just to not have monotony come up!

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....

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).

Very disappointed,…read more I was new to the gym, and I have been with them for 15 days. I have never been in the gym, and I decided to let it go because it was not what I wanted and I was also feeling very sick. That's one of the reasons I have never been in one. I found out that I need to pay a fee to leave the gym, but I did not expect to be told that I need to pay 59 pounds. What for? In the time when I was checking the app, I found that they wanted to overcharge me (even if I didn't find it correctly to even charge me the actual amount of membership, which is 39 pounds). I have paid it, but they have not told me what they are doing or what my options are in case I leave before six months. After I paid the membership fee to leave, it was straight away removed, not even letting me use the gym until the end of the membership! What a shame, and shame on them, as they want to still, and I am sure I am not the only person out there who has been tricked, so just be aware that they charge anything without even telling you from the beginning what the situation is. very frustrating the way they manipulate the situation in their favour and how I paid for something that I have never used. Theft ! very disappointed! "Poor and miserably ! And the guy that did the membership--shame on you that you haven't told me that I can't cancel it without paying the fee! Shame, shame, shame!
