Nuffield Health City Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - London

This is my favourite gym in London. It is very well kept and clean regardless of how busy and the staff are always very helpful and friendly. The spa area is superb and such a lovely treat after a workout. Equipment is best in line and there is plenty of it. The gym is spacious enough that you’ll be able to enjoy a good session even during busy times.

I've been a member of this gym for many years. It’s very clean and well-equipped, featuring numerous state-of-the-art Technogym machines. The spa area is lovely but somewhat disconnected from the rest of the gym. There used to be a very useful steam room in the changing area, but for some reason, it has been boarded up (cost-cutting?). The staff is friendly and professional.

However, there is one major downside: the gym is extremely crowded at lunchtime and after work. On some days, it’s practically unusable. January was particularly bad—I only managed two workouts all month and couldn’t book a single Pilates class, as they were always fully booked.

I believe they should offer heavily discounted memberships to encourage off-peak usage.

I've now moved to the Barbican branch. It’s not as large, but it’s less crowded. The swimming pool is nicer, and they have both a steam room and a sauna in the changing area.

I have used and been a member of many gyms around the city, and after careful deliberation, this is by far my favourite. There are specialist gyms and studios around, which may be better in some areas, but overall this is the best all round.
There is a lot of equipment, catering to everyone. The equipment is well maintained, and anything that is broken gets fixed within a day or two. The staff are very friendly and they clean the equipment regularly. The equipment is clean, and there are wetwipe stations all around, so members wipe up after themselves and maintain the cleanliness. The saunas and jacuzzis are a great end to a workout, and the balcony overlooking the Thames is a real touch.

I used this gym for the first time today. By far the best Nuffield gym branch I have been to. The spa facilities were excellent, and the staff friendly. Very clean inside, excellent facilities and amazing location. Will definitely use again when in London!

Fantastic equipment for all types of training, plus a clean and spacious spa with river views.

The lifting area has recently been fully kitted out with best in class Hammer Strength equipment. I don’t know why they don’t promote this fact more as all serious lifters will go out their way for Hammer Strength machines - for example the hack squat machine blasts my quads like no other exercise.

Great gym! The lifting machines are new, and there is a huge spa zone with a jacuzzi, steam room, and saunas. The biggest issue I see is that the temperature in the jacuzzi is noticeably colder during wintertime. If this were solved, it would be 100/100

Too busy, jacuzzi used as a social or a bar not a relaxing place with many people shouting,( sometimes bringing phones) and sitting there for long periods of time meaning others cannot use it. Sauna is always overflowing with people. Spa is closed 35 minutes before closing time - a bit extreme if you ask me.
Used to be better and more relaxing.
Very dirty machines, changing rooms are messy with cleaning staff just taking around- raised several times but no resolution - obviously none of the staff think it's up to them to keep the gym clean.

Good location, otherwise good facilities with all machines in place and working and beautiful building in itself, shame about cleaning and just how the place is run plus too many ( and sometimes poorly behaving) members due to a low pricing point for corporate members.

Absolutely LOVE the staff here. They do the best they can with what they have. The facilities could be incredible but they get really disgusting on the weekends. Particularly because the gym is understaffed and all of the class pass drop ins come through to the spa. I am writing this review in the hopes that perhaps they will up the staff count on the weekends to handle the overwhelming attendance. Maybe shut it twice a day on the weekends for 15 mins? So that the sauna doesn't smell like fish. Or maybe raise the price of drop ins so that there's less traffic with the same revenue? This was my favorite gym only a year ago and now I never go. Ive left comments with no avail. Here's another attempt!
