Nuffield Health is a great gym situated opposite the Twickenham Stoop Stadium and about five…read moreminutes walk to the Twickenham Stadium on the other side of the road. It is fairly easy to get to on the 281 bus-just cross the road over the high way and walk to the gym. Some of the services they provide include: Health Checks, a pool, sauna, locker rooms and towels for its members. There are also a range of classes to choose from. In fact, I went to my first Zumba class in years and I really enjoyed it! The gym itself is equipped with the essentials-treadmills, weights, machines and a mat area etc. The locker rooms are of a good size with showers which have shower gels, toilets and a sauna. So far, I have been twice since I joined last Saturday and both days have not been very busy despite the fact that rugby players tend to go there a lot. As it is a family friendly centre, one may see some younger adults and children around the premises but all in all, it is quiet and a good gym. I have yet to use their pool so look out for updates!

The best gym in London? For me, hell yeah! Why? I couldn't really say as my opinion has been…read moresomewhat skewed by various 'factors' (which will be duly noted in the memoirs). What I can say is the neon blue poolside flatters all figures, and panoramic views of modern moonscape Chiswick Park yield strong visual incentives when holding the plank for an enforced one minute.

Really good service, great premises and everything you need.read more

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!

I wanted to join a gym closer to home, but was very disappointed by what I saw. The…read moreSpring-in-to-Health is the 'health club' part of the public swimming baths. 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.

This gym is very nice. Currently on a temporary membership here. Has recently been refurbished so…read moreequipment is very impressive! The rooms which I know about are the main gym room, weights room, power zone and the rooms used for classes. I mostly use the power zone which I absolutely love. It's pretty unique as I haven't seen it in any other gyms I've been to - it's basically a room which is very dark with a massive tv screen showing music videos with music blaring. Really gets you in the mood for a work out - very motivating! And you don't have to worry about people seeing how rough you look when you're working out haha! Classes are also very good. The instructors really work you hard but that's the best way - need to be pushed to the limit! Though the classes are hard, they're good fun, especially if you go with friends. Would definitely recommend this gym!

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.

They have lots of exercise classes too which is great as I preer classes to using the gym equipment. Classes are fun and it keeps me motivated. This place has got a spa as well. You can get pampered there. It has got student memberships and also membership for younger kids/young people as well.

The pool is perfect for aqua aerobics (classes are offered) as it is shallow, but it is also suitable for swimming lengths. Although the pool is very nice one negative aspect is how overlooked it is.

So, if you get bored of the gym there's lots of other exercise options.
