This gym is good value and a vibrant place to work out, with the added benefit that virgin active membership lets you use other branches including abroad.
Two studios run a good selection of classes throughout the day (and have lovely natural light) and no need to pre book except for spin.
The 20m stainless steel lined pool on the top floor also has great roof lights but can feel a bit crowded if you go at a busy time or when other aqua classes are on, but you can have a lane to yourself if you time it right. Friendly lifeguard always on duty.
The well equipped gym floor is full enough to feel bustling and have atmosphere, but not crowded.
Towels supplied, good selection of cleanser, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryers.
Sauna and steam in the changing room so no need to wear a swimsuit in there like in some gyms where they are in mixed poolside areas.
I have found the staff helpful, the class teachers enthusiastic and friendly, any feedback cards I have filled in have always had a prompt response, and they keep you appropriately informed
e.g. sending a text message when the club was unexpectedly closed due to a power cut.
The cafe area is nothing to write home about and in a rather gloomy North facing corner but there are a few outside tables and you are in Notting Hill surrounded by cafes at every corner.
No regrets about joining here. read more
