Nuffield Health Bloomsbury Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - London

I found out that I could get 50% off membership through the Vitality scheme 5 months after I had joined Nuffield Health. During an unpleasant exchange with regional manager Svetlana at the gym, she told me that according to the terms and conditions of my contract not only I am not entitled to a refund of the difference for the previous months, but if I want to take advantage of the Vitality discount I would have to pay £50. I flagged that throughout the several months as a full member the pool was closed several times, and on a few occasions the actual gym was closed. So not a great experience. I told Svetlana, who kept talking over me, that if they charge the £50 I would go to another gym. She said fine. So I left Nuffield Health and joined Virgin Active. I also get a 50% discount there. The swimming pool is 25m (instead of 18m at Nuffield) and they are open until later on Fridays and during the weekend. It's odd that a manager prefers to lose a long standing customer for the sake of £50. It was not about the money, but fairness.

Reception staff are great. Ola helped me transfer my membership to this gym and was so attentive. The facilities here are way better than the one I was previously using (Nuffield health Brondesbury). The gym floor is nice and well equipped, everything is always clean, bathrooms are okay. There is a sauna inside the female changing room, which is nice. They give out towels as well (something my previous Nuffield gym doesn’t). Could do with extended opening hours but not a major issue.

To those considering the well-being of others and fostering positivity:

I had an exceptional experience at the Bloomsbury Nuffield Health Centre. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Kelly at reception and the dedicated sales team member, Sohag. Their professionalism and friendliness set the tone for my visit.

During my tour of the facility, I was incredibly impressed:

The gym is impeccably clean and features high-end machines for weights, cycling, and endurance.

The changing rooms are spotless, thanks to the diligent efforts of the housekeeping team, who not only maintain cleanliness but also tidy up after those who may lack consideration. Their professionalism deserves recognition.

The steam room and swimming pool are simply amazing, adding a touch of luxury to the experience.

The changing facilities resemble those of a five-star spa, ensuring comfort and convenience for every member.

What more could one ask for? The value for money is undeniable. Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, this centre is a true gem for those prioritizing their health and wellbeing.

After my visit, I decided to cancel my membership at another gym and commit to Nuffield Gym. The quality, attention to detail, and focus on wellbeing here are unmatched.

A heartfelt thank you to Kelly, Sohag, and the housekeeping team for maintaining such an extraordinary environment and making every member feel valued and cared for. Your efforts inspire positivity and wellbeing for all of us!

The pool, steam room and squash courts are a great perc to have in the neighbourhood and the team are always attentive. Only complaint: the changing room sauna needs to be a lot hotter to make any sense.

i am a regular at Covent garden branch, but joined a lunch time Pilates on Tuesday because my office is moving nearby so i wanted to try. the studio was full of hair on the floor, and the instructor behaviour was very unpleasant, his attitude was like as if the class belonged to him than the participants, his pace of talking too fast for Pilates and seemed he was there for himself. i met some ladies in the changing room and learnt he has a reputation apparently, and is not open to feedbacks.

Came on a day pass to use the pool , sauna and steam . The pools nice enough the steam is OK but the sauna is small and is literally the worst I have ever experienced in terms of temperature . I have had warmer conditions in Scotland than that sauna

#nuffieldtraveller nice gym near Russell Square tube station, has a good but limit range of equipment with the weights and cardio area separate from the TRX/CrossFit area. Morning, lunch and after work would see this gym very busy and probably your fighting to get on the kit you want.

Pool area is very nice with a calm atmosphere has a steam room but sauna placed in changing rooms, would be nice to have a jacuzzi but for the space they have their done well.

Nice clean showers with only one body/hair wash dispenser, 3 of the showers I tried didn’t work but fourth time lucky. Lockers are fine with membership card locking so you just pop it in and take the key. Hairdryers and shaving areas.

Staff friendly and helpful.

The set up of the gym is on multiple floors which can be annoying (especially on leg day) but that’s down to the building and space.

#nuffieldtraveller is just a reviewer who uses a lot of different Nuffield gyms across the UK and gives his own views and opinions.

Thé location / gym was great but had a very negative encounter with the manager.

The is place has a no foldable bike policy and offers no alternatives - not even allowed to take my bike into the changing room.

The policy doesn’t make any sense, I was told it was dangerous to walk around with my foldable bike (of about 11kg).

When I signed up they were happy to accommodate the foldable bike policy but for some reason changed a week later - once I had paid for the subscription. The manéger was unhelpful/ un thoughtful.

People with foldable bikes - stay away!
