Reviews of Nuffield Health Islington Fitness & Wellbeing Gym

O. T.

Love training here! When it's busy, it's not overly busy. The gym and equipment is always kept clean. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Being at this gym you really feel like you're part of a family. Great gym, clearly well run!

Previously been a Fitness First member through work, I have to say Nuffield is quite good and have the facilities I need. The people/members who come to this gym seems a lot more friendly and easier to chat to than the ones in city, which makes it a more pleasant visit. Staff have generally been helpful with questions and requests. Were happy to show how some equipments work when needed. Classes, swimming pool, various equipment to cross train and showers. I prefer the shower gel and conditioner here in comparison to the city branch 😅 Steam room was not working as well as it does now for first week or so, glad they’ve fixed it. I generally enjoy the classes I’ve been to also like that they say if there’s no class then feel free to use the rooms. With the price it’s worth it, especially when it’s a connection site, the lower price gyms I find a little less clean in comparison to here! Keep up the good work and vibes guys!

Great clean gym with high-quality equipment. I don’t understand the bad reviews! -Friendly staff -Clean spa facilities, which I love -You never have to wait to use the equipment as the gym never gets too busy -Cleaners on the gym floor constantly sanitise the equipment, especially since the pandemic -Members are middle class and polite. Most people usually clean the equipment after they’re done. They seem to be doing something with their lives. They have a professional and friendly attitude. In some budget gyms, you see the opposite pretty often! -In the reviews, some people are complaining about the price. I prefer to pay less like everyone else, but I don’t mind what they're charging, considering how clean the gym is and also the club never gets too busy. In my opinion, it is an excellent place to work out and then chill in the spa to finish off your day.

Love this gym! Great equipment, quirky classes, enthusiastic instructors plus it’s tidy and clean. I’ve had wonderful service from all staff and the vibe this gym has is like no other. Highly recommend, best gym in the area!

J. S.

I’m nee to the club, but it has honestly improved my lifestyle drastically. Every day I get energised just knowing I’ll be at Nuffield islington soon to smash a workout or one of their amazing classes. There is a real community in this gym, everyone is super friendly and Its the best part of my day. It’s honestly changed my life!

L. e.

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

T. S.

Amazing gym! Staff are amazing, friendly & polite and always helpful! The classes are great fun and the trainers are amazing too! Great energy and buzz!

C. R.

This gym comes highly recommended. Excellent facilities, clean, awesome swimming pool and very helpful staff and thank you Ibby for helping me

B. M.

Extremely helpful staff at the gym. Better machines than other gyms with a sauna as a extra benefit.

A. C.

Awesome vibe and energy. Feel very motivated and pumped whenever I go to this location. Staff are always friendly

Have been a member here for over a year. I loved the gym before, albeit some machines were outdated but overall still had everything I needed. The new gym floor looks and is amazing! I do however have a big complaint- they took out the hip abductor & thigh adductor weight machines, and have no intention of replacing them. Basically, the machines that mostly women use. They are my favourite machines and have been for years. Nuffield Angel, advised I do an exercise with bands, but in no way does it do the same thing. Those machines isolate muscles- and allow someone to add extremely heavy/light weights to isolate a particular muscle or muscle group, without having to engage the whole legs. It's a bit disappointing they took these two machines out- some gyms have this machine as a 2 in 1 machine, so it is possible to reduce the amount of room they take up. My other complaint is the jacuzzi often runs warm, not cold, not hot but warm- which can be a bit annoying but the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and pool are amazing! I love the facilities they have. Overall, it is a great gym- I would highly recommend it.

M. A.

A pricey membership, but there’s good service. There’s always room to use the equipment you want throughout the day. Updated thread mills, and overall equipment. The pool is clean and the spa spaces are nice. The changing rooms always clean and well kept. Overall, worth the membership price.

I recently visited this gym for the first time with a Free Guest pass. I have to say it was very impressive from the old gym that I used to go to (run by Better). I did not attend this Gym attend it used to be run by Virgin Active Gym before the takeover, which still has their sign post up on the main entrance, that has not been removed for some unknown reason. A bit hidden and tucked away from the public view as I did not know that it had existed until I was recommended by a friend. The general culture, environment operating in this health/fitness facility is of a calm and measured one . The place is very clean and very well presented with the decor. Free Tea and coffee is available, self-service at the seating area by Reception. However the gym itself does look a bit dull and could do with renovating. The treadmills could do with an update to the latest Technogym treadmill which are alot thinner. A quiet and warm gym environment which is what you want in a strenuous workout without prying eyes gazing on your treadmill stats!! The sauna was amazing, very pleasant and not too hot, but just the right temperature. Sun loungers by the pool to relax are luxury with cushions that soak the water from your skin which is clever. The steam room was not that good and a bit disappointing as there was a lack of steam in there. The only con I have about the health suite is that it is located by the pool and should be located in a separate area, and this does not give you any privacy if you just want to use the Health Suite and not the Swimming pool. The lobby leading to the changing rooms, and changing rooms are the main highlights of this fitness venue. You get to see the view of the pool as you walk down the corridor to the changing room which is very classy indeed. The changing rooms are very clean and tidy with towels provided in lockers. Reminded me of a luxury hotel. Very comfy cushions. This has to be the cleanest gym that I have ever been to. The showers are problematic as the shower head is not well placed imo, and not enough water pressure. Make sure you bring your own padlock for the lockers. However only downside that I have is the price. Nuffield is a registered charity and is therefore charging an absolute fortune from members as compared to its competitor Better. It is very sad that Nuffield does not take into account people who are unemployed and in receipt of Disability benefits who simply cannot afford to pay £100 per month for gym membership. No parking facilities either. These were the only let downs here. Otherwise it would get 5 stars, hands down.

N. S.

Love this Health Club. Nuffield health is the authority in London with the holistic approach. Location is great and it's not too busy. Therefore one can have a nice flow in the workout and then enjoy a swim or a sauna session. Jacuzzi. Steam Room. Spacious. Gorgeous. One can enjoy the whole day with different healthy activities. Helpful staff. Very good classes. I love it

Pluses: Staff are friendly and helpful, has a pool, gym, steam room, gym, all fine, etc. Negatives: As a member for years under Virgin, the best comparison is that with Nuffield Health you feel like you’re flying Ryanair at Virgin Atlantic prices. Out went the good coffee machine, in went the vending and, crucially (and why I decided to even post a review), a militant approach to towels - one towel a customer to the point that only one towel is left out by staff to take. This is for a gym with a pool, steam room and sauna. Towels are pretty essential. NH states that this is for environmental reasons, you can make up your own mind. And all for a membership that costs the same as Virgin.

G. C.

Fantastic facilities... but the classes are always overbooked. You'd expect with such a premium price that you could book a class with a few days notice... but Body Pump gets booked out a week in advance! The pool, sauna, showers, and changing rooms are all spotless.

D. C.

Signed up for a day pass to try this gym out... unfortunately nowhere on the Nuffield site mentioned the main gym was closed! Small area was available with a couple bikes, rowing machine, kettle bells and mats. The pool was good.

A. K.

A nice, modern gym - but quite small and compact. Changing rooms are well laid-out, modern and well equipped. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Gym space again quite compact but has a nice range of your typical gym equipment.

J. S.

Isaac is my physio here and he is just brilliant. The gym isn't busy in the mornings before work and there's space at lunch for a quick power hour. Will definitely consider a full membership once my physio is complete

K. D.

I have been visiting for over 3 years and the staff are great, classes are varied and equipment is well maintained. There is a nice pool and the changing rooms are clean and tidy. Like all gums if is better if you can go between 9.30am - 5.00pm.

ERVA is a fantastic gym. I've been a member of several, including Fitness First, and other Virgin Active ones, but this place is very clean - which is important for me. There are a lot of other clubs that have dust building up on machines (especially in the vents - grr!) and that is unpleasant if you're using the fans on the machine whilst running and you get dust in your mouth! *yuk* Then there is the fact that they always seem to have enough space. The swimming pool is practically empty, and this location seems to have been spared a lot of the reprobates that misuse the gym facilities by either using them as bathing facilities or a place to "borrow" their freshly laundered towels.

S. R.

Gym is busy enough for a good atmosphere but not so busy that u can't work out on what u want. I really like all the personal trainers, especially Adriana Lima who takes great classes always.

B. A.

Virgin Active Essex Road for me is the best gym in the Angel Islington area. Why it is smaller then its neighbouring Virgin Active club at Angel tube station, it is a lot less busy. The staff are extremely friendly the club is spotless, it even has free tea and coffee!! Love it!!

S. B.

Gym is clean and tidy. The only let down is weights area. It's really small with only 2 benches in the dumbbell zone and my advice to the management is: please replace the dumbbells, they are too wide, made of this cheap plastic and awfully inconvenient to grip. Get those standard rubber ones that every gym in this country uses please! Thank you!

C. D.

Great club, good equipment, never done classes but swim and lot and it's pretty perfect in terms of having everything you need in one place. Think it gets busy on the weekends around 10. For weekdays it's perfect.

A. L.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean changing room, excellent exercise facilities and classes, health check, good swimming pool I recommend for people need to do physio.Ramona is amazing helpful and experienced physio, i suffered with frozen shoulder, amazing charge after the first session physio and massage therapy with Ramona. Thank you Ramona

M. R.

Very nice gym, though doesn't feel that much grater considering the category A listing it has. Shoer facilities very nice with actual glass cubicles (frosted glass of course) rather than the weird setup at Angel. Still, I prefer Chiswick.

X. Z.

Clean and spacious. Nice facilities!

T. E.

This is my home gym, Its very clean and well organised. but suffers from being too full most hours of the day. also they could do with a few more free weights, but all in all its good

K. B.

Was happy with my experience. Pool wasn't too busy and facilities were clean and well kept. Came here before with my sister, and had a good experience then. Would come here again.

V. K.

Good club, so much better compared to the more expensive CityPoint branch which had become somewhat shabby and had seen better days really - this one is clean and comfortable, has all the equipment and a nice bright and airy studio

M. G.

Clean and not busy. Excellent yoga teachers. The heating had been broken in the main studio for months while they wait for a part. Not good enough.

S. H. N.

Very nice staff and clean equipment, mostly nice and conscientious customer base. The last star would be given if not for the obscenely high membership price.
