It is a nice place, clean and tidy. I am not an expert, but it has a lot of options for the paid price. The staff is helpful and polite. Not crowded. Personally, I find it extremely convenient.

I am a local resident of Pimlico and recently joined DSQ Gym as it is literally 'down the road'. I will never look back at my decision to join. The gym is very spacious, with a great variety of equipment and facilities. I personally alternate swimming with gym throughout the week. The gym is never overcrowded, has all of the equipment you can think of and there are neatly laid out collections of various weights. The ventilation/air conditioning system is effective so it never feels stuffy or hot, with good air quality throughout. There is blue mood lighting which gives it a cool atmosphere. The gym never seems to get overcrowded either. The gym currently operates a strict Covid-19 protocol which is adhered to by both staff and pretty much all customers. The gym is overall clean to very clean, and there is no lack of sanitising products and tissues throughout. The gym operates an online booking system, and you are currently required to book your session(s) in advance. This suits me, as I tend to plan the week ahead and I don't therefore stress about getting that preferred slot of yours. If you want to visit at short notice, you may find slots available when another person has cancelled, so keep checking. I got some 'popular' slots at short notice many times. Some sports are more popular than others, and slots tend to go fast. This includes yoga classes and squash, but often also popular after-work swimming slots. Talking of which, the swimming pool is great and very clean. I love going there. The gym limits pool capacity to 8 people at any time, so you will have a lane or half a lane to yourself. Last but not least, the DSQ Gym staff are lovely, really engaging and professional. They will happily answer any questions and also give you health tips along the way. I would highly recommend this gym if you are living in the Pimlico area and/or willing to travel there. It is walking distance from Pimlico tube. Update 19 July 2021 following gov. lifting of restrictions, you can now just turn up for your workout, but the gym sent this through regarding bookings for certain sports: "The booking system will remain for the following areas: Swimming pool (12 people permitted per booking slot - 1-hour sessions each) Group Fitness Classes (now with increased capacity – Spin Studio = 20, Studio 1 = 22, Holistic Studio = 12) Squash and Tennis"

Absolutely love this place. Staff are extremely friendly, they've been helpful ever since I joined two years ago, and when I re-joined earlier this year. The facilities are of great quality and varied: gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, tennis courts, squash courts, etc... The gym isn't the biggest ever but if you know when to go it won't be an issue. The pool is clean and the temperature is just right, and the club offer free towels upon every visit. I go there regularly and it's definitely worth every penny!.

Great options for classes, good gym facilities, good size sauna and steam room. Very nice and calm atmosphere for most of the time. unhappy as the children over 12 years old cannot stay longer than little children which I think is unfair to them as there are kids that want just swim the way adults do. Overall, good local gym and spa.

S. A.

Great place to come in and train! Spin classes are great, plenty of bikes available, friendly staff and a nice pool/sauna/steam room to help relax after a hard training session. Never made use of the squash and tennis facilities but it's nice to know I have the option!

L. W.

This is a nice gym, but it's busy and it's expensive. It's almost impossible to get into the pool sometimes, and on the weekends you have swimming instructors positively BELLOWING the place down in an echoing pool space yelling at kids how to learn to swim, which is not exactly the formula for a relaxing dip. Had to cancel my membership as mostly like to swim and can't always be sure I will enjoy it.

E. A.

A decent gym with free towels, decent enough changing rooms, a good number classes and squash courts. The pool is too small for the number of users and the swimming classes are very expensive. Overall a reasonably decent gym with a nice number of martial arts and keep fit classes.

F. A.

I would love to give a 5 star review but I'm giving only 3. Most of the staff members are friendly but there are few who are extremely rude. Also sometimes some sauna/steam room users go into the pool without taking a shower, this need to be look at. I have seen people chucking water in the sauna heater ,so, it should have some sort of message saying it's electric and it's dangerous to throw water in there. Most hotel guest have no pool or sauna etiquette, so please have some guide line or like a 'user manual'.

Visited Dolphin Square Gym this weekend and couldn't recommend it enough. I was greeted warmly by Jade the receptionist and shown around by Paige who was understanding of my needs and very polite. The gym itself is well equipped and kept tidy, with a great pool to relax in. Will definitely be returning!

Overall, a good "fitness club". It is being refurbed in 2020 to make it bigger, so quit your whining. They have answered your calls. This gym is infinitely better than the Queen Mother one on Vauxhall Bridge Road, and the Pure Gym by Victoria. The gym - plenty machines and free weights. It does get busy during busy periods as would be expected. Some new very expensive cycle machines have just been introduced - the "watt" bike. It's accurate and helps with your workout and improving fitness, more so than the blue ones they had. Also fairly clean; I have seen machines being cleaned by staff. I also clean them myself and there are towels to protect you from the germs resident in the gym. Ample treadmills if you enjoy that sort of torture, along with 4 or 5 rowers, and lots of cross trainers. Lots of barbells too. The pool - again, busy at busy periods, but there are plenty times in the day when it is not busy at all. I have sometimes been the only one in the pool. When busy not such a pleasant experience as you are perpetually zigzagging between other swimmers. Sometimes, there are also too many children swimming in their designated lane which is fine, its just that they enjoy shrieking, so not really a pleasant environment for adults, unless you have built a thick skin of tolerance and patience, which I have not. At least they aren't allowed in the steam room. Steam room has a weird towel hanging from the ceiling which they should fix. I can't imagine it is very hygienic. It is steamy though which cleanses the lungs from the previous night's debauchery. The grassed area by the squash courts - I love the prowler but sometimes find that during busy periods, the yogis, spinners, and bum toners spill out and are totally unaware that they are about to be prowled out of the way. Changing rooms and lockers - lockers on the blink. Lots of them do not work; I think their batteries need changing. You just have to be quick in getting one that does open and close. All of them actually need a good blast with bleach. Changing rooms fairly spacious. The issue of little Amadeus and Leopold shrieking and using the changing rooms as a playground is probably confined to the female changing rooms. If I wanted to hear children shrieking I would go to a playground. Badly behaved children are bad, but their parents are worse. They should keep an emergency prowler in there. Showers - good and modern. Generally clean and not messy i.e. towels not left around and empty bottles of shower gel disposed of. A few of them don't lock. The gym provides shower gel, and shampoo and conditioner in containers attached to the walls, but some are breaking/broken. I would never venture to use these as who knows what is in them, but in principle they should be working. The water is not chlorinated which is good and are powerful with good pressure. Personal trainers - it seems like most if not all the PTs are really very good at what they do. They always seem engaged and interacting with their clients. Gym etiquette - Generally good and people are polite. Sometimes notice individuals hogging gym equipment whilst on social media, and not lifting. Please take your time-wasting addiction to the lounge, where I do not have to witness it and become irate.

Nice gym but quite small for what it's worth. There a pool, sauna, steam room and a few more fitness ammeneties you'd for the price you pay. Don't expect top notch gym etiquette here though.

J. C.

Great gym with friendly staff. Good variety of equipment/classes with a nice swimming pool for relaxing (not so much swimming laps). They also have 3 indoor squash courts and an outdoor tennis court by the river which is great when the sun finally decides to pop out!!

M. D.

Friendly staff, good equipment and facilities. Not the cheapest, but it is Dolphin Square in Pimlico after all. Nice pool, sauna and steam room. The gym is small, and generally empty when I attend at lunchtimes during the week, but if you want to use the gym during evenings or weekends, then good luck finding available equipment!

H. L.

All the fitness team are very friendly. even when there are small complaints they deal with it their best and in a friendly manner. always smiling. francesco and the fitness instructors very patient and helpful. all classes are very good but my favourites are Anne and Charlie for yoga and Xavier for pilates. Aqua class instructors are also very good as well joel for tai chi who explains everything very well. swimming teachers all very helpful and patient. all in all everyone is very nice and i havent had a problem in 8 years love it !
