Fitness First Clapham

I just need to write a list of gyms to avoid and be done with it. This place could be better with a makeover. The three floors that make up the place is just mapped out wrong. If they switched the cardio floor with the weight floor it might be redeemed but of course it’s another placed designed by a person that probably never worked out in their lives. The free weight area is smaller than the home gym my mate had in his basement. You have to fight, climb over, or wallflower it, just to get your turn in to use anything. You also never see any women in there cos it’s an alpha male show down, survival of the fittest, not to mention the perving ogglers. You think it’s bad enough for the women. I guy came up to me and told me I had the body of a stripper. How does one respond to that? The Fitness First brand should be avoided unless there’s nothing around in your area. Unfortunately for me, that is my world. Nothing around. The hard sell, long contracts, and high fees are eventually going to be their downfall.

Clapham Junction Fitness First is my gym of choice for weekends, if I somehow muster the energy to go.
It is a decent size set over three floors, the bottom floor is devoted to cardio equipment but there are only three rowing machines (one usually broken) amongst the treadmills and cross trainers. The middle floor consists of changing rooms while the top floor is for the weights room and studio classes.
I have never seen the place busy considering I only venture in on weekends but it is a whole lot better than the Fitness First in Balham.
