I've taken a lot of reformer classes in San Francisco, and I thought this one was a good workout,…read moreand challenging. Location: Located in Covent Garden, it's actually located inside the "Gym Box", so make sure you look for a big yellow sign. Walk in, check in at the front desk and they'll send you downstairs to a room without very many directions. It took me a few extra minutes to figure out where the gym & class were, so if it's your first time, make sure you allocate at least 5 extra minutes. Class: More focused on core and legs, and didn't do too much with arms. It was fine for me, but if you're looking for a more upper body workout, you may not be getting much with this. The class is pretty fast-paced, so not the best if you're a beginner or have never taken a reformer class. Instructor: I had Jess, who was great. High-energy, friendly, and was paying attention to correct posture/form. Music: Pretty high energy music that you may find in a dance club in Europe (but with vocals). I like this type of music, so I appreciated it, but if you don't like this kind of music, you may want to avoid it. I'd definitely come back here again on another visit in London. Happy that they are on Classpass, as it makes it easy to try the class out.

Having to deal with the sadness of LA Fitness here in Southern California, I was greeted warmly by the staff, handed a nice soft fluffy towel and, get this, even a combination lock. The gym itself is split up between some serious boxing/MMA with a ring and a good gym. Lockerroom was very clean, the equipment was in great shape and I managed to burn 700 calories which were desperately needed. I hear they have a live DJ at times and they crank the music to 11, however, I was too busy getting my Rammstein on. If I lived nearby, or they had one here close by in Southern California I'd kiss LA Fitness goodbye in a heartbeat.

This is a premium gym, yet the space is relatively small. Recently it's clear the focus has shifted on acquisition rather than retention of members, resulting in the following pain points: - Changing rooms get super crowded: hard to find a free locker, bumping into other people post shower due to sheer lack of space, frequently having to queue for hairdryers - Queueing (behind up to 5 people) for the showers - Temperature issues in the women's changing rooms this winter: the door to the swimming pool is propped open, creating a cold draught in the pool and in the women's shower area. At regular intervals there's showers don't have warm water (worsening shower queues) - Due to overselling of classes happening at prime time there are no treadmills available at from 8AM to 8:45AM every day My husband and I were mid workout this morning, when the personal trainer positioned herself in front of our treadmills, weaved her hands and very rudely shouted "YOU NEED TO STOP NOW!". She and her colleague forced us of the treadmill mid-run, saying that they need it for the class and that there are no treadmills available between 8 and 8:45AM daily. When asked whether that means we can't do our workouts in the future he said "yes, it does, I am sorry. We tried to get more treadmills but it was not possible". So here we are, two fully paying members dishing out £430/month, being told we can't do our workouts. Given their recent focus on acquisition they need to look into expanding their space or stop accepting new members. Treadmills are basic gym equipment and need to be available for members - either limit the class spaces, get more treadmills or expand the gym.

And not allowing that person to cancel their credits for a refund is just taking advantage of the customer. Sure, we won't be accommodating for you so you'll want to come back - we'll just hold you and your money hostage! They don't care because either way they have your money. Also, the all levels yoga is not all levels. It is moderate to advanced. They really need to offer classes that are more introductory. They only seem to offer one fundamentals class once or twice a week at only one location (not this one). The instructor really needs to stay in a place where everyone can see them so newbies can follow along more easily. Really disappointed in the customer service here and their inflexibility- seems like their customer service needs to book in for a yoga class or two! Hope they don't fall sick and can't cancel!!

If you wanted to get in shape fast, this is where I'd go. It's not like a "luxury studio" like Ten Health that has like stocked showers and a clothing shop, but Ten is what I'd call a "gentle" class, frequently much older people in class, and I don't think you get the same results, vs Epoch which will kick your ass and have you feeling the effects for days. I've taken classes from 3 different instructors here, they are all equally hard, which is what I go for. I'm pregnant a the moment so am opting for milder workouts while I'm pregnant, but once i'm postpartum I will definitely be coming here to get my body back in shape fast.

You can purchase daily or weekly guest memberships, and there's a price discount on the latter. I actually found the weekly guest membership to be quite affordable and the staff were very nice about getting me set up. The facilities are really nice as well. There are plenty of treadmills, elipticals, and bikes for cardio. The weight section is also really good -- all the machines I typically use are there. I just wish that there would be additional space to stretch, it can get crowded during peak times. The locker room is well-maintained and very clean. I also love that there are tanning booths so I can continue to maintain my color while I'm on holiday.

Thankfully, Soho gyms is very accommodating, and offer a wide range of memberships. I explained that I was only going to be working in the street for a month, and they gave me a months membership. They also do daily and weekly passes. What I was even more pleased about was that I didn't have to pay any membership fee. This gym in Covent Garden is not as big as the other Soho gyms which are dotted around London. However, there are all the machines that you will need, plus a weights room, and a studio room. I remember they had a fantastic version of a cross trainer here, where the foot rests operate separately and rather than just going back and forth, they make a kind of triangle shape. It is difficult to explain, but it gave me a work out which was about 5 times better than a standard cross trainer. The only thing that I thought could be improved on was the girls showers. The showers were communal and felt like old -school shower heads - were the water dribbles out. Definitely not power shower quality.
