The Gym London West Hampstead

Get exactly what you pay for, I like the flexibility and cost. What you loose for that is quality… That said the gym is well stock with equipment that works. Open 24 hours…
During busy time the equipment might not be in the correct spots but not a problem for me. If you are smart you will visit when it is not busy; never a problem for me.
I live that they are open 24 hours 7 days a week! All of this for very little money…

Fantastic gym! It’s a very large and it’s well equipped. I have been going there for over a year now. I’ve recommended it to all of my friends who live in the area

Good gym for 20 quid a month. It’s got all the cardio that you’ll need, and if you’re an off-​hours gym rat, the ideal place for you. Always has been clean for me, and the other patrons are a nice cross-​section (read: not full of gym rats). PT professionals I have not seen to be amazing for the price — they seem more just like the contractors who didn’t have a job elsewhere — and they cost 50 to 80 an hour typically. Better to head to Pure Fitness or to another big London PT house for that price (and maybe get medical insurance to cover it).
The nautilus machines and free weights are plentiful during non-​peak hours, though can get a bit crowded with the afterwork crowd. Either way, the gym is great value for money if you’re within walking distance.

The gym itself is not bad. Equipment is modern and cleaned. However the lockers are not secure. My jacket and jeans were stolen along with my wallet keys and mobile. Manager was unhelpful. Was just told to notify police. I had to leave as there is no where to safely store belongings and notices around gym state this

So i’m a bit of a gym rat /​fitness freak and i’ve been going to this gym since I moved to the area about a year ago. It’s in a great area and the best thing is that it’s open 24 hours a day, which is perfect for me.
Over the last few years, due to the recession, we have seen a lot of these cheap gym chains sprouting up and I usually go with the saying ‘you get what you pay for’. Now where that’s usually proved me right for the most part, it’s completely untrue with this gym chain. Monthly rates are dirt cheap, usually around £20 and the gym has everything you could want and need in a gym — state of the art equipment, full range of free weights, stretching areas, changing rooms, classes and PT sessions.
Notice I said gym and not HEALTH CLUB. When I go to the gym I like to TRAIN not swim, jacuzzi, play tennis, steam room, spa or play tennis. If that’s what you want then this place is not for you, as it hasn’t got any of them and you want somewhere like VIRGIN ACTIVE or DAVID LLOYD and the price that comes with it (upwards of £65 per month plus joining fee).
When I joined this gym I was shocked at how cheap it was a month as I would have gladly paid double every month as that’s what I was expecting to pay at least. It’s clean, nicely decorated and has everything you would need and more in a gym.
A few recommendations —
— Take full advantage of the 24 hour services. I would say to not train after work 6−10pm on weekdays as you will not be able to do what you need to do in less than 2 hours so you may as well not have gone. I go before work during the week and sometimes at weekends and have no problem using the equipment I need.
— They don’t have a wide range of classes so take a look at what they have on the website and see if they do things you like if thats a factor for you.
— Don’t get PT sessions here. I’ve trained athletes and know bad trainers when I see them. Apart from a few, most of the trainers here recycle their sessions and don’t make sure their clients are doing the exercises correctly. I think they care more about their money than helping them. Or if you do want sessions here send me a message and i’ll recommend the good ones and I promise I don’t know any of them personally to just be giving them your business!
Apart from those minor points if you live local and are looking for a gym I thoroughly recommend this place!

Joined The Gym West Hampstead after Lab Spa & Club Mill Hill. Ok it don’t have pool & spa but I found everything on gym floor much, much better!!! Also what you pay you get really good deal of it. Pevoius club I found very loud socialising club what wasn’t for me and that’s why I like West Hampstead one. Club members are really into the sport and I like that feeling where u come to gym, get your fitness done and off to go ;)) will def advice for my friends as well. Very happy with The Gym :)

I found everything what I need for my fitness programs at this centre, and it not have to be overlooked. There are many centres where you can’t do everything what you want. The guys were very friendly when I visited them for a first time and it was a good sign for me. All equipments are high-​class and it’s easy to do everything for what you are coming for.

Great gym fab staff or trainers whatever u wanna call them. Some members can be stuck up but u get hoggers or loafers in all walks of life abusing the equipments. The gym needs to urgently expant the free weights area im sure if they think it though it is possible also they need more smith machine also weights above 30kg would be great. Gym should take strict action against members that throw the weights around or do not replace them it is hard to find dumbells at time having 2 sets of each weights is not good at all.

Used to really like this gym, particularly because of the price, air conditioning and cleanliness, but the free weights area is an utter disgrace. It is hugely overused to the point of being unusable during weekdays after around 6pm and lacking in equipment (hint: get another Smith Machine to stop fights breaking out over the single machine there is now). Users also need to be reminded about putting weights back.
Also, in my last few visits a lot of the machines were out of action, possibly something to do with the kind of members it attracts who often don’t speak much English, and don’t seem to follow any rules about how to use equipment in the gym or how to behave towards their fellow members.
Please, please, please expand the free weights area/​equipment and take out some of the underused cardio equipment perhaps.

Hello people, I am using this gym for over 6 months now. Best thing is membership price i.e. 15.99 and timings 24×7. Gym is always neat and clean. Changing rooms are tidy. Natalie and Jane, the managers are very friendly. All Trainers are very professional and helpful. One of the trainer Joe, he even runs a TRX program twice a week for free, really appreciable. Katerina and Nando, two of the best PT I have ever met. Now weight area is not the biggest so if you thinking to use the it in peak times, be ready for the queue. I will definitely recommend this gym. Any doubt, just visit and I am sure they will be more than happy to give you a free tour. WORTH EVERY PENNY GUYS !

I love this gym. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Especially Jane the Assistant Manager/​Personal Trainer and Imran Personal Trainer. Jane did a fab programme for me. The equipment is also top notch. Now my second home. :)
