Reviews of Gymbox Elephant & Castle

H. S.

Pros: Nice, clean, big space with good lighting. Friendly and happy staff! Plenty of classes to choose from and they have a boxing ring :-) Con: Very OLD weights equipments with many wears and tears (check the images below)

D. B.

Gyms are quite intimidating especially for someone who has social anxiety or just the fear of people watching them. I recently started going to the Gymbox and I’ve never felt so confident in myself, I had the best experience and was advised plus informed on what’s best for me. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, I wanted to say a big thank you to the lovely Louise for making me so comfortable and confident, she was so friendly and wholesome. I advise anyone who’s just starting gym to come gym box and find the lovely Louise to help you :) <3

M. B.

Great modern gym with all the latest equipment you’d want and need. Would seriously recommend to anyone thinking of joining or moving gym. Gymbox has progressed my goals I wanted to achieve. It’s not just their great facilities but their staff. In particular Adam, who with his knowledge and amazing passion for training, has helped me progress massively.

T. B.

I joined the gym recently and have been very impressed with all the staff members and facilities at the gym. The staff are very welcoming friendly and helpful! Have done few classes and again exceptional service and excellent trainers. Special mention to gym manager Adam who was so welcoming when showing me around.

T. B.

I haven’t used Gymbox before I tried this one and so didn’t know what to expect. Adam was very welcoming and showed me around. Seriously impressed with some of the equipment which I haven’t seen at regular gyms before.. staff were very friendly and Adam took his time with showing me around. Changed my view on Gymbox .. one to watch…

F. J.

Had a few pals recommend this gym, the location is very ideal for me. Met Adam the GM. Sound bloke. Very relatable. Spoke about our England experiences and how he’s on track for the golden boot on the 5s, great achievement at any level. Gave me some great techniques to improve muscle mass. Cheers Adam.

P. S.

So much crowded at times. Apparently the whole South London has only one gym 🙈 It's always so hard to find a vacant class slot and equipment. It's over crowded

M. H.

After having no gym at my hotel for the weekend, I saw Gymbox online and purchased a day pass. The gym was really clean, with friendly staff and a wide range of equipment. As it was my first time at Gymbox I felt apprehensive but the receptionist Amma made the whole experience smooth sailing and without issues, making me feeling like I was back at home using the gym I use daily. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area looking for a day pass/membership. Thank you for your help. 😊

J. H.

The gym is in such brilliant condition! The staff are amazing and so creative with their classes which I love. The environment is so welcoming and I believe that is made by the Gym manager Adam. Everybody knows his name and he made me feel like part of a wonderful community within the gym.

J. H.

The lowest quality of the Gymboxes I’ve used, feels much more like a cheaper gym than the others. Not as much equipment, basics missing (such as intermediary weights for cable machines - 10kg is a huge difference between weight options), gets quite crowded, no mirrors anywhere near barbell area to observe form, etc. Toilets and showers also generally grottier and perhaps cleaned less? This branch really lets the chain down. Would gladly recommend the other Gymbox locations, but not this one.

U. 6.

Have recently joined and the gym is great. Amazing equipment and classes. A big thanks to Adam who was a big help in getting me setup and comfortable in my new gym routine!

K. D.

Very fancy gym. Could do with a sign showing where the entrance is. We walked around the whole building before finding the stairs outside. Needs more of a range of Hammer strength machines. Would definitely go again though.

s. t.

Visited Gymbox for the first time and must say I was very pleased with entire gym. Great equipment and plenty of room to move around. Was served by Amma a fantastic member of staff who answered my questions and gave a truly 5* service, on this I will be visiting again.

h. a.

Went there after not going to a gym for over 10 years (yeah I know), the vibe is great, you can book different classes as well. Elizabeth was super supportive, she even took the time to show me around the installations and explained how to use one of the machines. If I could bring my dog with me I would pay for another subscription.

J. B.

Really solid all round gym. Friendly staff. Loads of equipment. Amazing classes and class instructors. Clean shower/changing/sauna area. Only downside it the music. When my headphones run out of battery I gotta get outta there. The music they play throughout the speakers is terrible, can’t listen to it for too long without losing my mind. 😂

M. M.

Great gym and the classes are amazing. Made particularly better by the manager Adam, he was extremely helpful and has a great hands on approach. Great music too. Love it here!

R. E.

This is my favourite gym in all of London. Great selection of classes. Love the space and staff are excellent, especially Amma. Always incredibly helpful and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

A. J.

I absolutely loved the place, the vibe and amount of various classes they do. Especially how kind is the staff there! Elizabeth was amazing, she answered all my questions and helped me sign up. This is exactly the kind of treatment I could dream about in all the other studios across London. definitely GYMBOX in Elephant and Castle is the place to come regularly and be welcomed with a huge smile 👌🏼

B. B.

Me and my friend Ben W started coming at the beginning of January. I have seen a big difference in my body but he is still very frail. I hope that he can finally put some weight on if he keeps coming with me. Great gym with great people.

J. H.

Great gym and friendly staff, especially Adam, who definitely knew his stuff. Good selection of fitness equipment for all levels. Would recommend.

B. M.

Extremely impressed by the professionalism shown by the staff at this gym. I have a long standing injury to both hamstrings which I have been medically advised is down to not bending my legs when deadlifting. A special mention to the GM Adam who is very familiar with this injury, he showed me some exercises to mitigate the wear and tear to both hamstrings. Thank you Adam - 5 Stars

r. g.

I had a good time at the gym excellent workout plus very clean as well. Lovely lady named Louise very helpful, very pretty. Definitely recommend

a. b.

Had a great session here. Classes are great - frame area was very good! Sauna was a nice bonus! Eliza was great on the show around and gave all the info I needed!

C. B.

Great gym with excellent facilities and very clean. The staff were really friendly, especially Amma who was very professional and welcoming! I'd definitely recommend it.

G. C.

Great gym, been to a few gym box’s but this one had the friendliest welcoming staff. Big shout out to Amma who went above and beyond, smiley face really made me feel welcomed and went the extra mile!

J. H.

Fantastic gym, great equipment. Staff very friendly and helpful. Massive credits to Amma who went above and beyond, always happy to assist!

R. M.

Very impressed with the gym. Staff very helpful, met the manager Adam, absolute top bloke and we seemed to have a lot in common. Think we will get a Morley’s together one day.

S.

Decent gym with excellent facilities. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Gets EXTREMELY busy at peak times (5pm-8pm week nights). Major downside - lack of decent air conditioning / airflow, which for a gym is pretty poor. Vents don’t appear to be on a lot of the time or merely pumping out very light air. In the summer months this doesn’t appear to be turned up to compensate for the hotter weather.

C. T.

Was in the area doing business for a few days and thought I would purchase a day pass. I spoke to a lovely lady named Amma. She was just amazing at her job. Made me feel like I have been a member for years. She walked me through the options of payment and made sure I got the best one to suit me. I only settled on the day pass due to moving around the county for work. She showed me around the gym ensuring I was aware of all the avalaible equipment, toilets and changing rooms. The gym was great!! Clean and tidy. And well organised which was perfect! After my workout I showered and everything was amazing no complaints here. Upon leaving Amma again asked me how my workout was and made me feel welcome anytime! This level of service is above and beyond!!

L. G.

This is a fantastic gym , and has some amazing classes which I really enjoyed taking part in. Especially the GM Adam was really helpful and made things easy for me!

S. E.

Love coming to this gym before and after work! All the staff are super friendly and helpful, particularly love seeing Amma on the desk- she always brightens up my day! Thank you guys :)

T. T.

Had a fantastic experience at this gym during my visit to London. The place is beautiful, shiny, and new with a lot of large windows and natural light. Great equipment and free weights complimented by a lot of open space, rigs, squat racks, and cardio machines. A special thanks to Jessica, Ethan, and Amy for being so friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this gym to our friends.

M. F.

Fantastic gym and great atmosphere. Particular mention of Amma as she was welcoming, courteous and professional at all times. Definitely recommend it.

H. L.

E&C GYMBOX is amazing, a lovely community group of people working out together, the staff is caring and welcoming to the customers. Huge shoutout to the best staff named “ Amma “ there, she is always helpful to us. overally, it’s a good place

D. S.

Been a member get for a few years now. The gym is always clean and anything that is old or breaks is fixed or replaced quickly. The staff and members are really friendly and the classes are amazing and even if I forgot to book early and go on the waitlist. I get into the class 99% of the time.

S. T.

Wonderful gym with some great facilities. Amma is by far the best member of staff, always smiling, willing to help and is a complete delight to be around

A. L. M.

Love this gym ! Elizabeth gave me a lovely tour of the facilities and she was amazing! Super helpful and I am very keen to start.

H. T.

I had a wonderful experience at this gym on my last visit. All of the equipment you could need and Amma was warm, friendly and very helpful too!

B. M.

Superb gym, great classes and staff are friendly and helpful. The new Manager has certainly made a positive impact.

j. b.

I had a great experience at the Elephant and Castle branch. With the help from the wonderful Amma, I felt much more confident and safe at the gym. She was super lovely and bubbly and an asset to gymbox! Thank you Amma :)

S. B.

Excellent experience right from start to end. The receptionist, Rhianna, was very polite and friendly. It was easy to navigate around the gym and I felt comfortable.

A. M.

The memebership is expensive but the quality is there. Lots of equipments, lots of classes, changing rooms with showers. The staff is welcoming and ready to help when needed. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because of the music that can be a bit too loud for my liking.

S. K.

Fantastic gym, the classes are amazing! Love bike and beats. Thanks to Adam for getting me set up.

G. S.

Just want to say a big thanks to Adam showing me around and making me feel welcome. Have been coming now for 2 weeks and I love it here. Kit and classes are awesome

B. B.

I’ve been a member for over a year and the gyms are really decent, kitted out well with professional equipment. I choose to have the option to attend all gyms across the city - the Bank site i particularly like and it gives a more old school spit and sawdust vibe.

E. H.

Great gym, love the functional area. Staff are always super friendly, especially Elizabeth who is very welcoming!

E. C.

Fantastic gym. Lovely, welcoming staff. Big shout out to Amma for being so helpful!!

S. K.

Lovely spacious gym with loads of great classes. Adam the GM has been really helpful too :)

A. S.

I love this gym - they have all the equipment I need, and more, and classes and trainers are amazing. BUT I'm speaking as someone who can visit any time of the day - might be a different story for those visiting in peak times. Over the past few years I've been able to book on all the classes I wanted, bar one or two, but you have to be ready on the app when the new dates get released. Failing that, going on waitlist will nearly always get you in. They lose their final star as although the place is always very clean and staff are lovely, it's a mess all throughout the day. Weights and equipment are often strewn everywhere, there's a cracked mirror in the studio, towels are often left abandoned on the gym floor, and dumbbells are rarely in the right racking. Granted this is the members' fault, but for nearly £90 a month you expect someone making sure the environment isn't a shambles. If these were sorted it would be amazing.

E. C.

Being new to the gym and not knowing much about equipment and stuff, Elizabeth was very patient and helpful! Absolutely loved my recent gym session.

E. R.

Gymbox, Gymbox, what can I say? The place is great and I'm not exaggerating when I say that. I came down to London with my wife a short while back and I due to my experience I decided to set up this account and do my first review. I normally opt for a PureGym, or anytime fitness due to the 24hr policy but decided that this time as it was London I was gonna treat myself and I am glad I did. The facilities were slightly aged but golly they sure do have something for everyone. My wife could focus on her weightlifting whilst I enjoyed myself in their very modern spin room. Enough bikes for all my friends (if they were there of course). The staff were even amazing from the amazing receptionist Ama to the few trainers walking around the gym with their short shorts. Would defo recommend to a friend and next time I'm in London from lovely Billericay I will make sure to visit Gymbox Elephant Castle

S. H.

Great space to train. Almost every option is available in one location. The staff I have dealt with here are knowledgeable and attentive. Staff member Amma has been great 👍🏻

D. M.

E. R.

The gym is super nice and clean, specially Eliza who was very attentive

S. G.

Great gym and great staff. Amma in particular went above and beyond to help me.

M. M.

I'm a member - have been going since it opened and I love it here. This is one of gymboxes best designed gyms - you can move around far more easily than Farringdon. It's a good all rounder gym, not too fitness bro, not too class oriented, but there's plenty of both. They have everything from bars and plates and kettlebells to dance and spin back to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and aerial hoop. The teachers are always high energy and there's three big studios. Only feedback for improvement is consistency between trainers for the same class - things are often a bit chaotic, especially when there's a fill in instructor.

J. A.

Gym was excellent great environment, shout out to Louise who always offers top tier service

A. F.

Really nice gym, shout-out to Amma for being really friendly and helpful :)

E. B.

Best gym in London! Huge and cavernous so there’s always space to workout. Desk staff are friendly and helpful. Classes are top tier (shout out to Sharol for the Commercial dance class!!) Live DJs are awesome and the whole space is just very welcoming and empowering. I paid £79 a month with corporate discount and it’s 100% worth the money! Best gym experience around

D. B.

Great gym and staff always helpful - especially Amma, she always goes above and beyond :)

M. C.

Great experience!! Amma was super helpful and very welcoming, she made the atmosphere so welcoming.

t. _.

Adam the general manager is amazing the gym is amazing and the classes great

S. A.

Best gym in London that I've been to! The equipment is great (loads of it which is good for peak times), the space is really unique (nice views from the upstairs studio), and the classes are also really unique and fun. I especially like the aerial classes Gymbox offers - as well as being fun and effective they're also excellent value compared to other aerial studios in London. The gym is never too busy, and most of the time I'm able to book into classes that I want to go to (even if it's through the waitlist). The changing rooms are nice and clean.

J. W.

The gym was amazing Louise services was expectational very polite

C. T.

Fantastic experience here, a really great atmosphere and Amma was super helpful and encouraging! She was a superstar🌟

A. M.

Dylan GG made it a 'no-brainer' to join Gym Box. Loving my time here so far.

J. T.

Amma is a motivated and knowledgeable queen! Helped me to get back on the grind.

M. F.

I came for an Interview not that long ago & the receptionist on at the time, Amma, was super lovely & really helpful :)

H. D.

Love this gym! Great space, excellent equipment and wonderful classes! Only downfall is that you really have to set your alarm the morning before a class you want to join so you can sign up to it - otherwise it will be fully booked in literally 4 minutes. Other than that, would totally recommend!

L. B.

Clean, very nice equipment but expensive for pay as you go especially for a visitor or someone that needs short term.

A. D.

Great gym in terms of equipment, everything you could want for strength and conditioning training. Only criticism would a shortage of benches for bench press. It's a real struggle to get a bench in the mornings. The free weights area also is slightly too small relative to the large size of the gym. Relatively very expensive, but you pay for what you get.

A. K.

This place feels like another home, very friendly and inclusive. Classes are brilliant, instructors are second to none, so motivating. Loads say it's hard to get on classes. It really isn't difficult though - usually if you go on the waiting list you'll get on 9 times out of 10. For the women out there, i don't find it intimiding here like other gyms. Everyone is helpful and kind, and there's a great mix of different people. Thx Gymbox!

T.

Gym is amazing and great facilities! Few points though, as of today I believe the gym is over subscribed! I haven’t seen a gym that busy on peak hours and through out the weekend! Amazing classes, yet if you do not book your class by 7 am no chance! Music can be annoyingly too loud with focus on two genres only, drum n base and hip hop! Showers and toilets areas can do with more cleaning

d. T.

Amazing atmosphere, facilities and vibe to this gym. Organised and clean, this is by far one of the best gyms in London. The team are always friendly, including Ross, who effortlessly and professionally guided me through membership, these people care! Very impressive!!

z. h.

Great and refreshing session. Big shoutout to Louise for being a star helping me out

C. L.

This is a great gym! The classes are fun (so much choice) and the staff are always welcoming and helpful! The DJ is always playing the bangers as well which helps! They had a spot in the pride march this year as well which was so much fun and shows its an inclusive gym!

S. C.

clean, tidy, has something for everyone and the team are really helpful, especially Adam.

J. H.

Excellent value for the gym. Really great facility with fantastic equipment, while the initial price may put you off, the gym offers such a varied and excellent amount of facilities and classes. If you're not really into classes or prefer simple workouts, it may not be for you. However, if you're a fanatic or just like a challenge it's something people should take advantage of as the trainers are all excellent and the gym offers you combat sport training at the fraction of the price you would be paying at a specialist gym. The one negative I would say is it's often quite hard to hear the instructors during classes as the music is so loud. This is especially problematic with the combat sports where instructions can be pretty important. It would be helpful for the facility managers to turn the sound down just around the boxing and dojo areas while classes are in session.

M.

Great gym, staff are so helpful. Id never done classes before but now it's all I do , addicted to bike & beats . Would recommend if you want a fun gym experience.

N. F.

Good gym, the lovely Amma is amazing.

T. B.

Gym was amazing and Louise’s service was 10/10

P. S. W.

The gym is amazing and dose give you a good vibe most. Excellent feedback with Rory Armstrong. Great exercises, good speed, well communication. Rory’s has a well designed content and personalise it for you. He is knowledgeable trainer.

G. L.

Signed up with the lovely Maya, Ive loved going there its super clean and great equipment. Maya has been super nice and helpful, always ready to answer any questions I have, plus always has a smile and says hello. Thanks Maya for putting me on my journey with Gymbox and motivating me, couldn't be happier.

E. M.

Great gym, good classes and great facilities. A bit of a funny layout on the free weight area, you have to go around a few times if you want to head to the changing rooms which are upstairs and at the very back. Equipment is new and good. Good showers and has a sauna, but it would have been great if it had a steamroom. Really enjoy the classes.

T. A.

I have a multi-gym access membership, so have tried many of the gyms in their network within Zone 1/2. This is the best in terms of space, design, atmosphere and staff. Many people complain about Gymbox because they can't book classes due to over-subscription. Over-subscription to classes is an issue for most gym's in central London, so it should hardly come as a surprise. You just need to make sure you sign up at 7am on the dot the day before - failing that put yourself on the waiting list. I rarely struggle to get into classes as a result. Where I do, the instructors have still been happy to let me join in.

L. P.

Big spaces, performance pro atmosphere. High ceiling and a lot of light..a NYC wibe and a lot of hot bodies that doesn't play against getting fitter. All machines aee new, well kept, changing spaces clean and tidy and the boxing area is very cool.

M. M.

The best gym I have ever gone to - hands down. Great equipment, superstar staff and quality classes. If you don't join this gym your missing out BIG TIME.

a. z.

Amazing gym with new and various equipment, big spaces for all kind of classes and finally not a gym in the basement with big windows and natural light! Staff is alas great, smiley and friendly.

T. N.

Great atmosphere and vibe.The classes are varied and full of energy being taken by really motivating instructors. I manage to get into nearly all classes I try to book and never seem to have to wait long for equipment on the gym floor. Well worth it!

R. H.

Great facilities, very clean. Highly recommend

T. M.

Had a great experience. Amma in particular was so helpful & friendly!

S. C.

Gymbox Elephant is more than just my happy place! This is the most exciting motivational fitness centre I have ever joined. I will never return to a conventional gym as long as there is a gymbox near me. The classes are diverse and wonderful, from Aerial Yoga to Hardcore and Cannabliss and Boxing. There is a class to challenge and inspire you. The staff from the cleaners to the instructors are happy, helpful and friendly. They push you to your limits in a really fun way. Oh and did I mention if you are just working our on your on on the fabulous machines or free weights, you can listen to the tunes of the live DJ! Gymbox Elephant is my home club, but I attend gymbox classes all over London, dependent on my work location - so today is yoga for lifting in Covent Garden. Come on, you know you wanna join

s. k.

The most motivational and buzzing gym I have been a member of! The instructors and staff genuinely care about the members and keep up to date with the progress of individuals! Its a big thanks to the GYMBOX team that I have transformed by mind and body! Special mention to Andrew, Rommell, Ryan and Will Millar!

T. J.

We were just introduced to the gym by Rory. He is amazing at getting you to set up quick. I really had a good time as my first session with him. I would definitely recommend to my friends. Five stars. :)

E. S.

Unfortunately I won't be renewing my membership once it runs out. The gym is great but has become way too busy, plus the app and booking service are DREADFUL. Practically impossible to book onto a class these days. Shame as it's a good gym and I know lots of people have complained to date about the booking process.

M. K.

Quite expensive but the best gym I've seen in London (I've been to about 5 gyms). It's brand new, huge (lots of space), clean, good equipment and lots of free weights. Nice new sauna and showers. They often play really good music too.

M. R.

Far better than soho gyms. The equipment is phenomenal! Definitely worth a visit just to try. As for pushy , every single gym you go to will want to get you to become a member otherwise they wouldn't make any money.

B.

Look forward to coming back!! The staff there are very helpful especially Louiise.

C. T. W.

I’m from the USA. I played American football in college. I still do similar athletic training - cleans, squat, bench and deadlifts. It’s the best gym I’m ever been to for serious no bs training. Fast bars, platforms, agility area, stuff to throw etc. Surprised there is nothing like this in the USA - it would do awesome. Kudos for it not being a cross fit gym also. For those visiting London it’s 20lbs a session. Easily the best place to train. Lockers seem solid although I don’t use much.

B. H.

Visiting from the states and needed a proper place to train. One of the best gyms I’ve been too. Great facility with serious athletes getting it done. Excellent gym!

C.

I love it! The classes are fantastic! I find myself going multiple times in one day. The ladies room also has hair straighteners and a beauty mirror which is a bonus. Maya mackay helped set my account up and shes absolutely amazing and super helpful and helped me settle in quickly. 5 stars!

A. J. I. (.

This place is now so busy at peak times that your work out involves more waiting than training. The music is still pretty awful and staff are starting to have a carefree attitude to everything.... Previously: Love this place. I just wish the music wasn't so awful and loud, easily solved with a pair of headphones. It does get pretty busy at peak times but otherwise never have to wait. Lots of classes.

L. S.

Such a good experience, Elizabeth was so nice!

O. R.

Very lovely place and well equipped gymnasium and lots different classes to suits and individual needs.

L. C.

It is a great gym with lots of great equipment. Some of the guys at the reception are really helpful, friendly and nice. Big thanks to Megan and Ryan for being amazing 💪🏼😉💪🏼

R. H.

Superb gym. Lighting, space, variety, atmosphere. Everything a gym needs. Definitely worth the higher membership cost!

C. S.

This is one of the best gyms I've seen. They have multiple of all the equipment you could want and even at peak times there's always something free. The facilities are also generally fresh and new.

M. S. N.

One of the best Gymbox Gyms in London! My favourite class is Shway with DeeDee, shes always full of energy and brings out the best in you mind, body and dancing soul! Love the studios, the DJ and the equipment! <3

M. J.

Loved how clean this box was everyday and the quality of equipment(eleiko) but the layout is such a mess. You have people walking over your weightlifting platform when you are performing very risky and heavy lifts (I.e snatches) because the 4 platforms are the path to go to another part of the gym next to the boxing area. Gymnastic rig: the same, everyone walking around the area when you are doing your workout, horrible layout. Other negative point is the amount of VPT(very personal trainers).

A. B.

GymBox Elephant and Castle is one of the best gyms I have trained in. The classes are great, instructors are so motivational and will not let you stop until the end of the session, as well as you feeling part of a community. Music is always fab, nice and loud so no need to bring your own headphones! Recommend Drill Sergeant (with Andrew - Tuesday evenings) Escalate (with James - Friday lunch) and Bike and Beats (with Jess - Wednesday lunch).

J. F.

Great facilities, just a bit annoying when it's too busy, it's always seems to be peak time now but nonetheless best gym out there. Jay

Like finding Aladdin's cave in SE London. This is a Gym like no other south of the river. The Personal Trainers are the friendliest bunch I have ever bumped into in the UK!! The club has a wonderful fun vibe and you find yourself spending hours just chatting and making friends. Very un-London reminds me of gyms back in Aus. 5 Star experience

D. C.

Been a member and also worked in many gyms. This gym is huge and the facility is TOP. No other gym brand in London can compete with the Hammer Strength machines and the variety of cardio/classes available to use. CrossFit, Bodybuilding, Yoga/Holistic, Cardio/Spin.. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE!

R. R.

it was such a lovely experience and Amma made it even better!

Big gym with lots of classes Two large free weights areas, with plenty of machines to use. There is a fully equipped ring for boxing and other martial arts, a selection of bags and balls for training on as well. The gym has a 30m sprint track with tyres and sleds for training with As well as a large frame for pull-ups and body weight exercises

G. T.

Honestly the best gym I've ever been too, such great classes, all the staff are super friendly and just generally a fab place to train :)

L. S.

Decent gym, as always, there are a few dumb members and PT's who never put the weights back. But, there are some amazing teachers. Boris the spin instructor is out of this world, but trying to get in to his class is tougher then Berghain in berlin.

T. O.

Amazing service! Good quality staff members who actually help with all enquiries. A gym that feels like home, a place where respect and safety place a big part.

P.

love the gym , the classes are great and the facility's are always clean …. however the music is always soooo loud you can barley think! if your on any of the machines trying to watch a tv show its impossible because you can just hear the music blasting through your headphones! like what is the point you cant listen to your own music while you run its really annoying!

A. u.

A great place to train. Lot's of equipment, excellent classes and instructors with friendly approachable staff with excellent customer service skills. Highly recommended E&C gymbox

W. S.

Really fun gym, Amazing classes and amazing instructors. Expensive, joining fee isn't explained and can only book classes 1 day in advance.

A. W.

Really great gym. Facilities are amazing! I find the reception team friendly and instructors are motivating. Would recommend the Fucntional Bodybuilding and Escalate class - Thanks!

Gym facilities are great but classes are difficult to book

The newest branch of Gymbox is above ground on two levels with big windows running along one side giving the open plan space much more breathability than some of the other underground branches. Music is still obnoxiously loud and especially dreadful on weekday evening when 'DJs' are visiting. Nice combat space with a raised boxing ring and big open mat space for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

M. S.

Staff really helpful. Personal trainers are not cheap. The facilities are amazing with the range of equipment to use. There is a steam room which inhve yet to use. All in all, its a great place to train.

O. B.

Edit: The music is clearly a USP of gymbox which is fine, however when the live DJ comes on the volume is ridiculous. The Jujitsu class on a Tuesday becomes frustrating for everyone because there is a speaker right above the mats blasting music so you cant even here the instructor. I don't care if the music is loud but when its so bad you cant even hear the dude teaching you it seems a bit much....

M. K.

'Vest-Box' is a decent gym with good equipment, facilities and friendly staff however, as some of the other reviews note, it feels oversubscribed at peak times and, for the price, probably not worth considering unless your happy to queue for a bench or a machine. Outside of peak hours it’s much quieter with fewer pretentious 'muscle-vest' types, hanging out, playing on their phones and moving past the mirrors like theyre carrying invisible carpets under their arms. Off peak, it's actually a great place to train. The music can be a bit annoying and pretty loud at times but not really an issue that a good set of headphones won’t remedy. Overlooking the 'vesties' on phones and the peak-time overcrowding issue and i'd rate it as a 5 out of 5.

T. A.

Best gym I’ve been to, equipment is great, changing rooms are always clean and staff are really friendly. Special thanks to Ross for his help

F. (. D.

Been a gymboxer for 5 years now and have used multiple gyms. I do like the club vibe and loud music. Sorry, that is gymbox and always has been, if you want a quiet gym, go somewhere else. Free area and frame area in Elephant is amazing, if you use it. But a lot of space also misused. Classes are of good level, but not too challenging, or maybe I can endure more? 😇 Now the bad bits of specifically Elephant and Castle: Extremely crowded at peak and saturdays. This is quiete a pricey gym, it shouldn’t be this busy. Its a new gym, yet half the showers in the male lockerroom are currently broken and its been going on for a while. Is nobody looking into this? Machines seem to be an afterthought in this gymbox. You can find more machines in the tiny Covent Garden branch for example. Combine this with the peak flood of people and you queue a lot. Improvement needed.

G.

Wicked vibes, awesome range of equipment and very friendly staff. Dean was very helpful when showing me around the gym and going through the membership options.

A. F.
