The Gym London Colindale

So I joined this gym out of convenience since it opens all night and day. No contract and reasonably cheap. Also big bonus was that I could walk there in 15 minutes.
I wasn’t expecting much from The Gym because of the price (too cheap to be any good) and location (a lot of council estates around the gym area).
But I was proven wrong. The gym is modern looking, clean (with cleaners working around the clock to clean this place up) and has all the equipments that I need apart from kettle bells, which they don’t have.
You do get the odd council estates kids coming in acting all tough but I go at 6am and late night at 12am so I won’t be seeing many of them around.
No sauna, spa and swimming pool for obvious reason (it’s dirt cheap) but if you’re just looking to go in and train hard then you can’t go wrong with The Gym.

I gave this a 1 star a few months ago but I stuck with it with promises of new equipment, including a bench press.
The Gym Colindale has made significant improvements in a lot of areas in recent months, which is a breath of fresh air considering most gym chains don’t tend to care what their customers think once they have their money. I am still reserving judgment for a few months in case any other changes do occur, but overall the signs are much better here.
This gym has tidied up a lot in quite a lot of areas including moving the squat rack next to mirror which I am very pleased about. They have even included a T-​Bar Row platform which is very nice to see; not a lot of gyms have that.
On the downside there was no Bench Press as promised and I think I speak for many members when I say that the weights area is in dire need of one. There is also still the issue of weights strewn on the floor of the weights area — something that would be quickly improved with a little reverse psychology [A gym in Nottingham I went to used to insult members with a poster on the wall in big red lettering saying, «If my girlfriend can manage to lift 80kg and put the weights back after herself, you can too!» — Needless to say this gym was immaculate]. I also don’t think banning members who behave like this would hurt the business, from what I hear membership is full at the moment with a lot of demand for new members.
Overall I am pleased, but I will probably re-​re-​review in February after New Years Resolution people inevitably quit.
Positives: Good showers, cheap monthly payments, plenty of weights, plates and barbells, also a T-​Bar row platform is a major plus for me.
Negatives: Still no Bench Press, doesn’t seem to be any enforcement of the weights area being tidy, also obnoxious music but I guess that won’t change.
Good work!
