Fitness First – Romford

A good gym, friendly staff and lots of equipment, even on weekday evenings you never have to wait for a treadmill/​bike/​crosstrainer. The free weights section is generally busy but I can’t comment on that. There is a seperate room and section upstairs which is a bit more hidden away. Two Saunas and a Steam Room, unfortunately these are mixed. There is a brand new section (which I haven’t tried yet) with lots of space for using Yoga balls, Pilates type exercises.
The worst thing about the gym is the cleanliness of the changing rooms, my partner says the Men’s consistently smell of wee and men stand around playing music from their mobile phones while they get changed. I recently saw a so-​called cleaner cleaning the floor with Tissue and her foot, hence it is essential to bring flipflops for the showers! The loo has seen better days but I’m sure this is to do with some of the users as well as the lazy cleaners.
NB: I have a discounted corporate membership so we only pay £20 per month and my review reflects this.
