Maybe would have preferred a slightly more difficult workout but it was the closest I've found to Solidcore/SLT so far. Loved the instructor. Amenities were nice and the studio was clean and everything felt very new and in good shape. The front desk members were extremely friendly and I love the cafe area (with cheap coffee drinks I might add). Would be such a lovely area to spend an hour working after a class. Good strong wifi and plenty of outlets. It's not cheap, but it definitely feels like you get a lot of value out of the class. I would definitely return.

Today in particular, Leah made my day. For the 630am ride class, I had less than a minute to get in the class due to a delayed train. As soon as I got there she took my bag, shoes and got me into the room in record time. On top of that! She came to find me after the class to make sure I got my all my stuff and my free shake!! She went above and beyond with such a kindness about her, I really appreciated it! The class was also fantastic - a great start to anyone's day.

BOOM Cycle recently opened this Holborn location (they also have a Shoreditch one I have never been…read moreto) , I love spinning so I went to try it out. I have done spinning classes at gyms in the UK and US and I am a huge fan of Soul Cycle . The staff was very friendly and welcoming. There are lots of lockers, big showers available with shampoo, soap, conditioner and hair dryer. You get a complimentary towel on your bike. They also offer foods and smoothies for fuel. For me, a spinning workout depends on three things: diversity and intensity of exercises, motivating and supportive instructor and nightclub quality playlist. Exercises: 4/5. Good enough to make me sweat and feel like I pushed myself but a bit more diversity in the sets would have made it even better Instructor: 4/5 she was great Playlist: 5/5 Great selection that makes you feel in a club and gives you that extra boost In a nutshell: will definitely come back!

This place is off the chart in terms of being completely kick butt. I'm from Santa Monica,…read moreCalifornia the epicenter of spinning and I have to say without a doubt that this is the toughest spin studio I have ever been to. Hands-down. Bluntly, this was harder than some 2 and 2 1/2 spins that I've done back in Santa Monica. Congratulations on setting a new standard in my opinion. I may have to travel all the way back to London to experience some of this to get in shape for criterium racing here in the US.

I first head about Cyclebeat through Hot Bikram Yoga's newsletter that a new spin only studio is…read moreopening up. All the specs I read on the website looked like they were trying to replicate Fly Wheel in states. I took advantage of the month unlimited rides for a mere 18 pounds! The website is pretty state of the art where you purchase your rides but also book which bike you want in the studio. They only open up the reservations for the following week each month around 11am so you can't hog up the bikes weeks in advance. At the moment, the place is barely half full so no need to book that far in advance. The locker rooms are quite spacious but the lockers itself are quite small so throw your coats and less valuable stuff somewhere else. Remember to bring a lock. I was a little surprised to see the open showers as I think they could've easily attached curtains but there are 2 cubbies to the side if you prefer (like I do!). The studio is HUGE filled with keiser bikes and they are real nice. You can see your RPM and Torq - which is also recorded onto your account. If you're the competitive type, the beat board will push you to compete with the other riders in the studio. The stadium set up isn't as good as Fly Wheel but still pretty good. The best thing about this studio is definitely the music and the sound system is probably one of the best you'll experience. Chorey will depend on the instructor - and think they're good and will really push you. They provide lil sweat towels at each of the bikes but it's an extra pound if you want to hire a bath one. At the end of the ride, you get an e-mail with all your stats. I burned how many calories?? This is definitely the nicest spin studio in London so if you're a spinning nut like me - definitely give it a go.

Easily the best spin studio I have ever been to. Simple as that. Why? Well, it is all about the…read morequality of the classes which are designed to improve your cycling as well as your general fitness levels. Consequently, there is no messing about with press ups on your bike - it is just cycling as hard as possible for as long as the class lasts. If you are competitive, added motivation is provided by a 'beatboard' which visually ranks everyone in the class by energy output on big TV screens at the front of the class. However good you are, there is always someone just ahead of you to compete with. It has certainly worked for me. If this isn't your thing you can opt out of participating altogether. The only downside is that the changing facilities are not the best with communal showers and fairly small lockers. However, such is the quality of the classes themselves, I am happy to look past this and award Cyclebeat a very easy 5 stars.

I took Sammy's 9:15 am 45 min class and I loved her teaching style! very motivating and positive - she explained everything and the class was very doable. we used weights (provided for part of class too) I wondered what the music would be like & was pleased that it reminded me of my old hed kandi tracks. the studio also has the instructor raised up on a platform and theres colored lights, a fog machine and a screen with pictures behind her. It's really something else! Shoes were included and you can borrow a stainless steel water bottle. There were toiletries provided in the ladies locker room, as well as locking lockers, towels, lots of showers, a aaaand a fridge full of chilled lavender washcloths! The bikes have a flywheel and pretty sure you can hook your phone up if you want to sync what your doing on your bike too your machine. You can also go on their website for the instructors play list. This one is right by Victoria station. Wish we had one of these in the states! I very much enjoyed my class! :)

I took two spin classes and one reformer class three days in a row and enjoyed every class. After I took my first spin class, I raved about it to my BFF about how much fun I had! It took some convincing to get her to join me on my next spin class because she hates cycling (with a passion). But to her surprise, she enjoyed the class so much that she said she would do it again! The class felt like a club with loud music and bright lights! Probably the only club we will go to these days...too old to rage like we used to. It was fun feeling like we were at a club and at the same time sweating and getting a good workout in. I wish they had this studio in San Francisco, miss it already! And the smoothies are good too!!

The University of Sussex Sports Centre may be less flashy than the nearby Falmer Sports Complex,…read morebut I tend to choose it more often. The fitness centre's selection of cardio equipment includes several of these really awesome cross-trainers...They're elliptical machines with optional ramps and give a pretty intense workout. The weight machines are set up more like a circuit training room - all neatly spaced out around the edges, instead of crammed in to each other like in the Sports Complex. And although the cardio machines don't have televisions built in, they do overlook one of the sports halls for some live entertainment. The Sports Centre runs several fitness groups and drop-in classes throughout the year, which are a good way to mix up your workout and prevent boredom. Also available on site: A Therapy Room that releases the relaxing scents of aromatherapy each time the door opens. I've yet to take advantage, but the prices seem quite reasonable. Perhaps that will be a Christmas gift to myself.

That said, this is certainly the best gym I've ever been a member of. The price is very affordable - you can get a year's membership for just £130 -, the service is friendly and efficient, and the amount of gym equipment available for use is very good. Even during busy times there's plenty of different machines to use, including a plethora of running machines, cycles, rowing machines, and weights. Definitely comes highly recommended.
