The riverside gym is run by one of Moleseys finest eccentrics, Myles. If you are a local you will…read moreundoubtedly catch him strolling up Bridge Road, and if you do, he will always stop for a chat. I love his little compact gym. Its not exactly the size of say, Virgin Active - but it has all the machines that you need for a good workout. On first glance, it's not a particularly girlie gym. There are definitely more men then women who go here, but it is far from intimidating if you are a girl and want to join. One of the best qualities of this gym, and what sets it apart from the big guns, is the way that the fees are structured. With big gyms it is difficult to get anything other than a 1 year contract, but here, you can buy daily passes, 1 month/3month and 6 month memberships as well as a yearly membership. Myles also provides 'low income' reduced rates for people who are students, au pairs, unwaged etc. Bodybuilders and fitness fanatics, you can also buy all your Reflex products here, such as nutritional supplements, meal replacement powders and protein and energy bars. I would join just so that I could have a permanent natter with Myles, but that would slightly defeat the purpose of joining a gym.

If you are new to lifting, then this is the place for you. If you have been lifting for more than a…read moreyear or are serious then go somewhere else. Dumbells only go up to 30KG which really isn't much of a struggle. It only has one barbell bench press which doubles as a squat rack which is normally being used. Only one Olympic bar (20KG) which is the one being used on the bench/squat rack meaning no deadlifts. The people in there seem to spend more time on their phones while occupying the benches than lifting on them. On the plus side, it is very cheap, open 24 hours, has CCTV so there should be no fear of going at night and is very clean. It's not the worst gym around (nowhere near as bad as Planet fitness) but as a serious lifter, the skinny teenagers and part-time-once-a-week-gym-goers just get in my way so it is a big no no for me.

I am a member of Move GB, and this is one of the locations you can use the passes at. When I…read moreintroduced myself at the desk and said that it was the first time I was visiting, the lady on reception was so friendly and helpful, gave me a tour of the facilities, explained that the pools are public and the health club side is members-only, but that through Move GB I could choose which side to use. As I was only there to swim I gave the sauna and steam room a miss this time and went on through to the pool side. Only the main pool was open (it was around 7.30pm on a Thursday), but it is a good sized pool. There is also a teaching pool and I think there are outdoor pools too for summer! There were a few different lessons happening, and the two remaining lanes for lane swimming were a bit confusing and not very well patrolled in regards to the direction of swimming, and the whole pool was quite busy. This was probably worsened when half of one of those lanes was cordoned off for an aqua aerobics class, but it didn't bother me as I took part in the class! And it was great exercise! The changing rooms are mixed/ family ones, a good size with plenty of lockers that take tokens, which you can get for £1 from reception. Overall a welcoming place, and probably better when it is not quite so busy!

But in reality all it provides is a separate changing rooms for monthly paying guests The entrance lobby is poorly designed and the men's changing room is split into two on the ground floor, fitted out with what looked like the cheapest fittings they could find. Upstairs on the main gym floor - most the equipment was showing its age. All 1990's equipment squeezed in. The dumb bells had chunks missing from the rubberised edges and looked terrible. Considering the competition around, its extremely poor value for money. Having been a member at more modern gyms, you really notice how totally out of date and ratty this place is.

A truly great place to work out.

Went to view Esporta Kingston yesterday. The guy showing me and my family around was incredibly…read moreunprofessional and rude. He took no account of what we wanted, was chatting at length to other people while we were supposedly getting the tour, and was both painfully slow in responding to questions and very aggressive in his answers. The facility itself looked ok, but not for the price. They want a 12 month contract at £73 per person (that's their so called Corporate rate, pure sales ploy since everyone is offered this). There is also a joining fee of £180 per person which they might bring down to £40. There is no family membership rate despite suposedly being family friendly. So all in if you join with your partner you're making almost £1,800 committment for the year. Honestly I don't think it commands that price. I didn't bother asking about the parking fees or what happens if you try to end the contract within 12 months.
