Reviews of JOHN REED Fitness London

L. P.

Decent gym but overpriced. This gym is priced towards the luxury end of the market. However they kind of miss the point on what makes a gym "luxury". The gym has a very nice interior design (but who cares?!), A pretty decent range of equipment, nice boxing ring and a nice atmosphere. But otherwise this is essentially a budget gym. The weights / equipment are slightly lower quality to Puregym, the cardio equipment is not good at all, only a couple of squat racks, and lots of empty space that could be filled with more equpitment. The gym also does not have a proper spa, only a sauna, and the showers are very bad,.

Gave this a try on the TimeOut two week trial offer. While it all looks nice at first glance with fresh equipment and an interesting decor, that's kind of where it ends. I'm not sure who designed the gym space, but it's just bizarre. There's a huge ground-floor area which is a odd mix of a shop/weights area. But the thing is, you don't actually swipe into the gym until you go up the stairs. So the ground floor part feels unusable, as you'd need to swipe in/out every time you access it. (Would have made much more sense to put the reception/turnstiles on the ground floor and fully utilize both the ground and first floors.) As others have mentioned, the weight selection isn't huge and there aren't enough full cable machines. There's a number of decent weight machines, but even they felt a bit limited and boring after a few visits. I also found it really odd that there are no mats / dedicated stretching areas. I asked a staff member where I could stretch and they said to use the (one) studio, but that was in use at the time. As others have mentioned, the showers and changerooms completely miss the mark. When I first visited, the showers were fully exposed and communal (I mean, who in their right mind builds a luxury gym with communal showers in 2021?). Apparently multiple complaints resulted them in adding black shower curtains to solve the issue. But sorry, that's not good enough. There's also the issue of cheap soap/shampoo, and the only extra facility is a sauna. The locker areas are cramped and dark, and there's one mirror area for the entire men's changeroom. I had high hopes for this gym, but it appears they didn't do their due diligence in what the local London market expects from a 'luxury' gym. Instead, they expected that their model used overseas in other locations would just translate here. But it doesn't, and certainly not at that price. I feel sorry for the staff who are trying to remain upbeat, but it would appear that they're struggling to entice members. It's a shame, as this space has the potential to be great, right in the heart of The City and on top of Liverpool St Station. But it needs a bit of a rethink and reprice in line with neighbouring gyms. I hear they're planning to open other branches in the West End and Vauxhall, and I wish them all the best. But I would urge whoever manages the UK operation to spend some time in other high-end London gyms to see what the competition offers, and naturally, what potential clients would expect for the prices they're being asked to pay.

I think the gym is phenomenal, the space is beautiful and they have the greatest machines. The service provided by the staff ( Nathan) was very welcoming and friendly!

Nicest gym I’ve joined and the team are amazing. Classes haven’t reached capacity so it’s been great attending classes with just 2-3 people

P. O.

Amazing gym. The decor is just sensational. I was curious about the classes they are offering. Therefore, I went to a HIIT class with the lovely Zarina who is absolutely adorable. She created such a great energy during the class. It was very enjoyable and fun. And a great workout! I also went to a Hot Yoga class and felt amazing afterwards. The teacher was just so lovely as well. All in all, highly recommend.

Brand new equipment, beautiful studios, and an A* sauna - a thoroughly enjoyable visit to the gym.

By far the best gym in london. Brand new and growing on. Friendly staff. All brand new equipments. Hands down.

As a woman you can feel quite intimated walking in to gyms these days but my experience at John Reed has been so pleasant. it didn't feel like a male dominated atmosphere which is nice for a change. The equipment is absolutely stunning, I love how adjustable everything is as compared to cheaper equipment that some of the other gyms provide. The female Changing rooms are so beautiful ill defeintly be spending allot of time at this gym.

Not really one to enjoy working out in a gym environment but John Reed fitness has definitely changed my mind on that one! Lovely environment to work out and really get in the zone, as well as superb equipment which is all top quality! Definitely recommend checking this place out , I’ve already told all my mates about it!

This gym combines a unique style and aesthetic with great machine variety and a really positive energy!

EDIT: Changed review from 4* to 5* after JR's response. Thank you! It's great to see you guys taking on board customer feedback and making changes. Really is a great gym! ——— This gym is awesome! The equipment is very nice, there is a huge range of machines, some machines I've never even seen before—you can tell it is all very high quality equipment. And obviously the decor is stunning and has had a lot of thought put into it. It's super clean and well maintained, never seems too busy (so far) and the staff are all lovely and welcoming. Overall it has a great vibe and awesome music (plus a DJ some evenings of the week). However, as a premium gym I feel like it's the attention to finer details that really makes something feel worthy of being premium and worth the money, and some of this I feel has been overlooked... In terms of equipment: • the dumbbell weights only go up to 36kg In terms of the men's changing room / facilities: • the shower curtains are very thin material / see-through, and when closed block out most of the light inside the shower so you have to shower in the dark. • The generic body/hair soap feels poor quality, there should be body wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion provided. • There is only one hair dryer in the men's changing room. Shouldn't have to wait to dry my hair. I would love to see John Reed take on-board some of this feedback as I can see some of these points have already been mentioned in previous reviews. However, aside from the above points, it is an outstanding gym and would definitely recommend.

This gym is simply amazing. 5/5

J. W.

Nice gym in a great location. Not too busy, lots of kit well spaced out. Shame they added curtains/doors to the showers...the original open plan setup was much better!! Then again I am part French and have no issues showering in front of others.

Great Experience Staff is great, machines are all completely new and they are really high quality. Imran took me through a induction and was very helpful, also I love the sauna to finish up my session. Great for the mind and body

J. W.

Such an amazing gym with top quality equipment. Felt really comfortable working out here. All the staff were really helpful and they have some really good instructors. The sauna is huge (my favourite part) and I love the hot yoga!

A. D.

Wonderfully presented gym, top of the range equipment and beautifully clean throughout. The interiors are incredibly Instagram-worthy and the changing / showering facilities are alike to being in a top spa rather than a gym! Conveniently located next to Liverpool St station making this gym easily accessible. Staff are friendly and professional, always on hand to help. Cannot rate & recommend this gym enough.

C. S.

I don’t even know where to start, first the gym it’s self is gorgeous. The machines are amazing, gym is always clean, the decor is eye catching and popping. The trainers and customer service agents are real courteous and professional. It’s a great place that’s motivated me to workout daily. Not too crowded and the setups are really spaced out very well.

GERMAN QUALITY IN THE UK 🇩🇪🇬🇧 • I know the brand John Reed from Germany and was super excited when I saw that they are opening in London just around the corner from my house at Liverpool Street • Of course JR is known for their nice interior but on top of it I am happy about the German hygiene standard in the gym that I‘ve missed when I moved to the UK. • Equipment is state of the art • I find it a bit tricky that there are no signs on the machines showing the name of the machine or instructions on how to use it. If you‘re more on the introverted gym-goer side this could feel quite overwhelming because you don‘t know how to use it properly but also there is no name so you can‘t Google the instructions. • The lockers and changing rooms are modern, you don‘t need a padlock • Sauna room seemed like a nice bonus but I think might get too packed if many people start signing up • Nice water machine • Staff is friendly
