Reviews of Gymbox Old Street

J. W.

The classes are excellent with wonderful instructors, allows me to explore lots of different skills and types of training! The gym itself could be a little bigger and more comprehensive but it serves its purpose well. It's not cheap but it's fantastic value for money if you utilise it's classes, the classes individually would be significantly more expensive per month. The staff and community are incredibly friends and polite and are free to chat and assist consistently!

F. G.

My favourite gym for sure. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Equipment is always clean and there loads of classes available. 100% would recommend 👌

L. V.

I love this gym. After looking for a gym that will make me feel comfortable to go more than once every month, I found this Studio. Thanks for everything, and thanks to Jess for being a great Studio Manager.

Z. R.

Highly recommend. Great equipment, great vibe if you’re serious about training. No faff. Functional workout space whatever you’re your health goals. Look out for Adam N if you’re after an excellent PT with tons of experience and result under his belt! Happy training all! ZAKIRR

R. S.

Such a great experience attending gymbox old street, clean equipment and great atmosphere. The staff are amazing and super friendly and really responsive making sure you feel welcomed. Bradley is especially fun and quirky character ! Always makes me feel positive and ready for a good gym sesh.

N. F.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Especially Isla who makes you feel comfortable and assist you when needed. The classes are very enjoyable. Will recommend the gym to friends&Family.

C. :.

I promised myself I would join a gym this year. So I've been on the look out and GymBox won. Their classes are so unique - just the variety had me. But what sold me in the end is the great customer service I received from Isla at GymBox Old Street. She was very helpful.

A. G.

Absolutely Love it here, great equipment, great service and just an all round good vibe! Definitely recommend. I thoroughly enjoy working out here! 💪🏼

S. K.

Love this gym! Great classes and really friendly team. Jaz was really helpful and made me feel so welcome!

J. W.

Have been doing Personal Training at GymBox Old Street for last 9 months, very happy with the experience. Very competitive and well equipped gym.

S. B.

Great facility and good vibe. Programmes to suit all fitness levels. Welcoming feel straight away. Happy friendly helpful staff especially Jessica.

J. H.

One of the many Gymbox locations i have worked at, always enjoy coming in and having a laugh with the members and staff. Of course excellent place train too.

V. N.

Sadly the worst gymbox i have ever been. The space is to small, crammed together. People are doing Olympic weight lifting in front of the dumbbells , makes is very hard to reach for the dumbbells… The squat racks in weird position too. Facing away from the mirror or if you change it around you face the mirror but there are people doing stuff on the benches in front of you… Barely any mat area, only if there is no class in the studio you have a space to stretch etc… The changing rooms are not the best either. Overall not a great experience. The only good thing that the light is not as dark as gymbox bank…

A. K.

Left a review before on a previous account and forgotten the password, but also forgot to mention on my previous review that despite this branch being a smaller branch, i do love how efficient they are with their space on top of that all the instructors i have come across have been super friednly and approachable also love how results based this brand is too!

A. S.

Jaz is great, she really made me feel at home on my first visit to the gym in a very long time. Highly recommend this gym, she is a great receptionist.

J. J.

Wow what a great experience at Gym Box Old Street, great gym, excellent facilities and in particular the staff, Bradley was so helpful introducing me to everything, some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced 👌👌

C. C.

Great gym and equipment, the staff super helpful and nice, Jaz was very welcoming and helpful to help me figure out the app and give me some insight to some classes I could like.

J. H.

I've been a member since 2014. Best gym, coolest staff (James Heffernan) and perfect vibe to get all the gains you'll ever need.

D. B.

Great gym, great people. Low level of idiots. Good equipment, good atmosphere. Top gym.

H. M.

Love this gym! Such a good vibe, great classes and friendly amazing staff!

T. B.

Great Gym. I found Jessica Buttigieg very helpful. She is very patient to explain things and has a beautiful smile.

C. A.

One of the best gyms I’ve signed up to, the classes that are available within the membership are amazing within itself so I’d recommend this gym to anyone without a doubt💪💪 amazing atmosphere inside as well and amazing equipment where you can work out in different areas so that you have a lot of space for yourself

J. R.

Staff are easily the best thing about this place - effortlessly make you comfortable and catered to! Classes and facilities are really good, would easily recommend!

B. I.

Wonderful space and classes, equipment has been updated and the staff are some of the most pleasant and friendliest ever!

B. R.

My go to gym when I'm in London. The staff are so so friendly and has everything you need for your workout

I've had a great experience at this gym with great facilities and staff - thank you very much for your help isla.

I. R.

Great space to work out in central, staff are lovely too. Good experience gym

A. T.

Not the best gym box because there’s less space, no boxing ring or sparring classes. Staff v friendly and helpful though

J. B.

Super friendly staff and excellent facilities. Studio Manager Jessica Buttigieg is awesome.

M. M. T.

Absolutely love teaching here! Great studios with great equipment/facilities :)

P. S.

Small gym with limited space and equipment but well located.

h. s.

Great gym, cool classes. I've really enjoyed working out at Gymbox and the option to try all the different branches- love the different layouts of each one, and the selection of machines. The classes are really varied. Even though they fill up fast, I've usually always got a place after adding my name to the waiting list. The staff are always happy to help whenever there's any issues. Am very happy being a member and plan on sticking with them for the foreseeable future.

A. K.

I have been going to gym box for a few months now after moving from another Gymbox. Absolutely love it! Though bit smaller than other club, result is staff are friendly and great banter each time I go in. Gym used to be a bit untidy but that seems to have sorted itself out now and think its prob more members not putting things away. Classes are fun! Keep up the great work!

N. P.

Love the Gymbox brand in general. Old Street is I believe the smallest of their gyms and doesn't offer all the facilities of the others (boxing ring, etc.) but for it's small size it packs a punch. Great, friendly staff at the front desk, always clean and well maintained, equipment is rarely out of service and it actually doesn't ever get too packed during peak periods. Great choice if you're local or working in the area.

D. J.

Great staff, James heffernan is very helpful and professional

K. R.

The gym is a bit small (especially in comparison to other gymboxes) but it has never been an issue for me as you can always find some space to workout. It has great location and the staff is lovely! The only negative point is that management has been promising to do the refurbishment of the gym for ages but still no changes have been made which is a bit disappointing.

E. A.

I've been going to this Gymbox for 2.5 years and absolutely love it. You can always find some amazing class everyday. It's been the only place to get me into a fitness routine that I stick with happily for years! If you live or work in the area or even if you just want a slightly smaller gym vibe definitely go for it!

M. V. (.

This gym is in a good location being close to the station. Staff was really friendly when I collected my membership card and have been every time I've been in and collected a towel. a little smaller than the other Gymbox gyms I've been to but has a more personal feel to it because of it.

Love this gym although it is a bit on the small side and so can get very busy. I train with Sabrina, who is a PT there, twice a week and she is amazing. She’s gotten me super fit and flexible over the past two years and I know we can achieve my next goal by the end of the year :). All in all I would recommend the gym and I would insist you train with Sabrina 💪🏼

M. T. E.

The gym itself is very nice and the change rooms clean and comfortable. The classes are great. The staff on the floor though is rather unfriendly and not very helpful. They are very concerned about getting you to pay even more to get personal hours rather than just giving tips. For the amount of money paid I think the people higher up should make it a must for staff to just give tips rather than busking for their own hours.

C. K.

Great variety of classes, best selection in the area

B. L.

Awesome gym with staff to match. Contains all the equipment for a great workout and there's always someone on hand to help if you need it. Classes are one of a kind, if you haven't given them a shout then you're certainly missing out.

R. M. S.

Just joined about a week ago, mostly because I moved into the area, but also because I had seen ads for some of their classes and thought it would be a way to spice up my exercise routine. I am already so so happy I joined, this gym has some of the best fitness classes I've ever done and I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

P. L.

This is a overall a very good gym, it's well equipped with modern equipment, helpful and informed staff, has a great atmosphere and innovative classes. Unfortunately, the main problem is it's so insanely busy it's a challenge to actually benefit from any of the positives listed above. It's almost impossible to get onto a class and there is so little free space on gym floor you spend most of your time queueing; unless you commit to going on the super off peak period. This really makes it tough to maintain any sort of routine. The classes are nearly all booked up in minutes (the day before) and the system for booking is very archaic and inefficient, I think the cut off was 7am, so if you want to the classes you need to work that into your morning routine. Advise to GymBox, - Update your website tech and booking policies (maybe make them bookable a week before so people can plan ahead) - Try and lower subscriptions so there is space to work out.

E. S.

Remy is fantastic Energetic Passionate and pushes you to be the best you can be..... When he is facilitating his class I feel like a super hero. Completely changed my life. James at the front desk(two earrings) is also so welcoming and professional. Occasionally the music is not censored so it’s unpleasant to here foul language while working out. Also no one checks in with you and says how’s it going etc I have NEVER been shown how to use any equipment for the price this seems odd.

J. J. D.

Great gym, great staff. Definitely on the expensive end but you can see where the money is going (top classes, tons of equipment). If you don't want to wait for kit it's worth the premium for the best equipped network of gyms in London.

S. D.

There are a wide range of classes with high quality instructors. The gym always has great energy. Changing rooms are nice and big with a sauna and all the equipment that you'd need.

Easy access from old street station and perfect location! It is a bit smaller than other gymbox branches, however, still well maintained and not so busy. The best part of using gymbox old street is that they have trapeze and pole tricks classes in here (some gymbox branches don't...). Nice layout of the changing room and good size of the sauna. Love the instructors here and the staffs are very helpful and friendly! Many selections for good classes! Definitely recommend!

P. S.

Gymbox Old Street is not the cheapest gym but has good equipment, good facilities and a nice atmosphere. Fairly busy 7am - 8am and 5.30pm - 7pm but otherwise quiet (and absolutely dead during the day as you would expect). Bit surprised by the reviews complaining it's crowded / busy. There's enough equipment and never really have to wait for anything except benches - they need another couple of these. I don't do classes so no idea what they're like but they seem to fill up quickly. Only gripes are that the rear studio is a fantastic space but is usually taken up with classes. Plenty of cheaper gyms nearby but I wouldn't change.

A. S.

Best gym in the area. Large free weight area, 2 squat cages plus loads of different hammer strength machines to target all areas of your body. Plenty of cardio equipment too and I rarely have to wait at all to use a piece of equipment. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Best gym I've been to in years.

N. N.

I have never been into using gyms for as long as I got into fitness- then there was Gym Box Old Street. Now, I love attending all the different types of classes and all the equipment they have if I want to do more conventional training. James Heffernan was really great in introducing me to the site and informing me of all the unique additions e.g. guest Dj's they have! which adds to the ambience. It's not just a gym- its a culture here. I love it.

M. K.

Joining was refreshingly easy and painless (unlike many gym sales experiences)! James Hefferman was incredibly professional, honest and responsive. He answered all of my questions and has been a great resource. Highly recommend!

J. B.

Gymbox Old street has changed my life!! The classes spurred me on to do better everday and gradually my fitness has improved drastically! The staff are super friendly and the gym itself is the perfect size, always very clean and the members are all friendly too! Thanks Old St team! keep up the great work

D. D.

Just over two years into my membership, could be longer enjoy the vibe and the people who work there. Can be frustrating, especially on Monday evenings when it is mega busy. Just can't get a proper workout so avoid Mondays whenever possible. It is what it is so settle for coming in late evenings, which is less than ideal for my lifestyle. Gymbox Old Street is what it is plus it is local to me.

A. C.

Best thing I ever signed up for- literally go 4/5 times a week because it’s such a joy to work out here. Love all the classes- Melissa Powers Reppin then Hardcore classes on Tuesday night are the best. You could just do her classes and nothing else and still see amazing results!

M. A.

I've been coming to this gym for about 4 years so I am more than qualified to give a review. It is a good gym, I don't understand the comments about the staff, I have never experienced anyone being rude to me, other than one of the studio instructors, once, IN 4 YEARS. People are generally nice to you if you are nice to them wherever you are, gym or not. Yeah the equipment breaks but it's a gym where people use the equipment ALL DAY LONG 7 DAYS A WEEK. So it's bound to break now and again. When you come regularly and people recognise your face you make friends with the staff, PTs etc. The DJ comment, they are there Mon-Thurs evenings peak time. so you must have not been there Mon-Thurs evenings, peak time. If anything I'd say is that they need to get rid of that hamstring machine at the back near the smith machine and the cables, as it's useless and rarely gets used and they could get something better/new to go it in its place. Finding a gym that is right for you is hard, not all gyms are right for everyone. Doesn't mean they are bad gyms.

C. A.

I'm a freelancer so work all over London, and there's usually a Gymbox nearby. I've recently been working in Old Street for the first time and was glad there was a branch nearby. I was a bit worried to see it was so small but it's very well laid out, and I've never had to wait too long to use equipment. It doesn't seem to be too busy first thing in the morning and its very quiet over the weekend - it's a little further than my one closest to home but I decided it's worth a few extra tube stops to come here.

J. G.

Cool gym with great classes. Often quite busy, but I don't tend to find that I need to wait for equipment. You do need to be on the site/app to book some of the more popular classes when they are released at 7am the prior day - I can see why this may be a problem for some, depending on your schedule, but works well for me. I've found staff to be friendly, too.

R. M.

Best place to work and train in London!!! Gymbox as a brand encompasses the fast paced lifestyle of living in any major city 🌃 by breaking it down into high intensity, stress relieving gym classes with world standard facilities and renowned personal training. Couldn’t recommend it anymore 💗.

I've been a member of the Old Street Gymbox for almost a year and it has been the best gym I've ever signed up to. The classes offered are so varied from hiit - weights - cardio - yoga - dancing - you are never short of a choice. The atmosphere is fun so turning up half awake at 6am is never an issue - the music livens you up and makes you ready for your workout and your day. The staff are always friendly and ready to help. The gym looks busy but there is always another machine to use or your able to share with other friendly gymers! The waitlist has been a great help when I forget to book a class. The only suggestion I have would be for the possibility of a barre class at old street and more connection between gymbox and the VPT's as membership is quite expensive so paying for a VPT (all of who are £55+ a session) on top works out quite extortionate (Maybe the possibility for a hour session each month with a 6 or 12 month contract with a VPT for free?) All in all my fave gym, thanks for helping make exercise fun for me! :)

A. M.

I started going to this gym to get back into the swing of working out (after a loooong stint of working at jobs that take over most of your free time). It’s conveniently located on the northern line. However it is quite expensive, and I’m not sure what all that extra cash gets you. The gym itself is pretty well equipped, but I would go in the morning before work... this meant having to queue up for a shower in the ladies locker room

M. T.

The club is one of the smallest of the Gymbox chain, so working out at peak time can be a bit difficult. However, as per all Gymbox clubs, the main attraction are the classes. Staff and trainers are very friendly and the atmosphere more laid back than other clubs, like Farringdon or Bank.

T. K.

I love every bit of this gym, highly recommend 👍

L. E.

Was locked into a 3 month student membership recently and despite the lack of available classes (booking opens a day in advance at 7am and literally, by 7:02 they are fully booked. Also If you miss two classes you are blocked from booking any further classes for a whole month) the gym have a good selection of equipment. Lastly, I was quite taken aback by their open plan changing rooms. For someone coming from work or home, unless you are comfortable changing In front of every Tom dick and Harry, be prepared to squeeze into one of the two small toilet cubicles.

A. K.

Amazing atmosphere, really friendly, upbeat and professional staff!

Had a great experience thanks to Akshay!

Z. H.

S. R.

This gym has the best classes. I am constantly enjoying the classes and keen to explore new ones. Its also a great place to go and do your own thing. with fantastic facility's and plenty of staff around to help you out.

A. E.

Probably the smallest GYMBOX in London and a shame because other gyms in the group are much better. When the main studio is in use, which seems to be most of the time, the floor space available for stretching and functional work is pretty limited. What space there is available is organised well and it has got everything equipment wise. I can imagine on a Monday night at peak time this gym is pretty tough. On the positive side they changing rooms are probably some of the biggest, though the ratio of showers is pretty poor. The cardio machines don’t have a tv feed which is a little annoying also. Take a look at the new GYMBOX at Farringdon on Leather Lane as a nearby alternative with more space and equipment to work out.

J. L.

I had a brilliant experience here. I read so many reviews that said bad things but it was local and I gave it an apprehensive go... I felt like the people at the front desk had a great energy and were very helpful and I loved the classes, so much variety and great quality, it made my membership price totally worth it. Especially stuff like Ariel Yoga, it made me feel like I was on a retreat. I only had a 3 month membership because I am working abroad and out of London now. If you work/live around here and need some encouragement to push yourself, I really recommend making the most of the classes ( went to and enjoyed Frame Fitness, Frame Bandits, NW Method, Arieal Pilates/Yoga and Broga). I hope to find myself back around there to do just that in the future.

B. O.

Decent location (very close to Old street station... exit 4), bright lights, big tunes, funky design and cool people (staff and members). Probably the most unique Gymbox gym I've been to yet.

C. C.

good gym . thanks Isla .

J. G.

Really loving this gym! The classes are beyond anything anyone else is doing. Was a member at a few other gyms in the area but honestly they dont compare. 5/5 for service :)

S. M.

A compact and colourful gym with slightly less loud and obnoxious music than some other gymbox branches. The yoga studio is a tiny boxy space but nice and cool on hot summer days.

L. G.

Great gym with a even better atmosphere, it might be small but doesn't stop the gains. With helpful staff and amazing classes for all intrests.

A. F.

Amazing classes, awesome music and all round good vibes. It can get busy at peak times and there isn't a huge about of floor space, something I would really like more of. But gains and bartendaz on a Thursday make my week every week!!

J. P.

Well equipped and perfect location.

D. K.

Really good gym with up todate equitment. Friendly staff (PT and front of house) and always well maintained and clean. Amazing selection of classes avalibel, with the teachers always pushing you to the limits.

J. G.

Love this place! Enjoy the atmosphere, it's got a massive range of equipment as well. Good for a cardio or strength session.

D. K.

Great facility, fantastic team :)

m. s.

Well equiped gym & would be hard to find a gym in London with sucj good training facilities. Great atmostphere and a gym where people go to train well & hard. Definitly not your im gona sit on the spa for an hour gig. If your serius about your training this is the place to be.

J. K.

Great, helpful staff and a brilliant selection of classes. It's a bit small compared to some of the new Gymbox sites but it still has everything you need.

M. F.

I was a member for 2 years and loved it so much I decided to train up as a PT and work here! The team are always amazing, it's got such a great vibe and the equipment is top notch.

B. M.

Not too crowded, with all the facilities you need. Plus they have lots of wipes everywhere to prevent Covid transmissions.

M. G.

Just coming to the anniversary of my membership. I have truly enjoyed my first year; the team are friendly and professional, the equipment is first rate, I have not experienced over-crowding and the atmosphere is great.

V. D.

Great gym & great classes. Could be quite busy during peak time! A bit more floor space would make it even better.

H. B.

Great classes with plenty of variety. I love ripped and stripped and Frame Fitness! The staff are friendly and always helpful! 10/10!

D. B.

Great equipment and energetic atmosphere, a good place to workout with plenty of class options. Only downside is it's on the smaller side so can get a bit packed at peak times.

W. D.

Gym is good, opening hours are not. Closes at 6pm on Sundays! A lot of other gyms are open 24/7 in London these days and they are much cheaper!

D. N.

Amazing team and facilities! Their support, particularly Najib (the sales GURU) has motivated me and my friends to brave the winter cold and get ourselves into any classes. Making Mondays feel a bit more like a MonYAY.

h. b.

Lovely staff...sadly management and company values not so great. They don't deserve their members or staff but the gym and facilities are great so I'm still there.

J. N.

Amazing vibe, kind PTs and always smilie receptionist. Classes are challenging and great! Djs spinning in the evenings making your workout even more fun.

S. F.

Great atmosphere. Good classes. Good trainers. Good attitude. Friendly helpful and polite staff. Give it a go. Yes it's a bit small but the classes make up for this.

A. B.

Great gym with everything you need! Clean locker rooms, plenty of equipment and friendly staff! Recommend.

R. G.

A little smaller than the other gymboxes & spin class is very moist but otherwise facilities are great.

E. S.

Fab atmosphere and amazing classes! Team are great and really motivate you to keep going to reach your fitness goals.

B. M.

great facilities and plenty of weights. Never been to classes before joining and now really enjoying some of the functional ones!

P. M.

Great gym to work out in , particularly with the help of the very motivational Robbie McKendrick, who is also very knowledgeable about diet and he certainly knows how to help his clients achieve their goals .

W. S.

Best gym I've been a member of, hands down. Facilities and classes are brilliant!

C. M.

Great location, smaller than the other gyms I’ve used but never seems too busy

D. U.

small and not enough showers, good when the functional area is free but it is mostly busy with classes. The Leather lane branch is a lot better!

S. K.

Great variety of classes and a vibrant atmosphere. One of the smaller Gymboxes however it never feels over crowded.

S. K.

Fantastic gym. Great facilities, great staff, and great trainers. There is no other gym that comes close

M. B.

Big gym, in good state but all dark with techno music and fluorescent lights. Not the kind of atmosphere I personally enjoy

A. L.

Joined the gym to lose some weight and stayed for the variety of classes available! Great atmosphere here!

N. D.

The classes are great, changing rooms always clean and there always seems to be enough space on the machines / matts.

T. V.

Good place to train and friendly staff

L. R.

Joined a few months ago in preparation for my wedding and have been absolutely loving the classes on offer! It's my second home!

H. L.

Gym box is the very best gym chain in London, great staff and equipement !! Totally recommend it !

T. A.

Staff are amazing!! Excellent class schedule too and just round the corner from Old Street. Recommend the spin classes!

A. C.

Good equipment and amazing classes. Only downside is that it's over crowded for a gym

A. N.

Brilliant instructors, shout out to Lauren. Best spin classes I’ve had so far

T. M.

I think there's a great selection of classes and great instructors. You just have to be ready to book at 7am every day.

K. B.

Love this place! The staff are wonderful and the environment is so welcoming. Location is perfect!

J. M.

The classes, staff and equipment are top drawer. Great space with friendly, knowledgeable and motivational staff.

N. W.

Great selection of equipment, I really enjoy working out here, the environment is really fun.

E. R. L. R.

When im in London i visit this place on my pay as you go app. Its good place, although it has been getting busier.

J. P.

Most favourite classes I've ever been to! The staff are kind and friendly to!

H. L.

Great facilities and really helpful team members! Can;t recommend their classes enough

E. F.

I love this gymbox studio which has one the the best select of aerial exercises (trapezes, rings, etc)

T. K.

Easily the best gym in all of London, dare I say all the world!

D. B.

Went today morning and gym was closed. It opens at 10 on Saturday..really?:( A bit disappointed about overall quality and capacty compared to bank branch and price.
