Huge credit to one of the trainers, Bernard, for keeping me on the straight and narrow for so long - 1 taster session, followed by more than three years of weekly training. Knows his stuff, and really makes an effort to make every session entirely personal - creative in working around injuries and restrictions, helpful with food / nutrition advice, and has worked wonders in completely changing my mindset towards how and why to work out. Game changer.

Small pool with strong urine like smell sometimes, free weights area very small, not great range of equipment so have to wait even when there's few people and they're old and worn out. Tried to use a vocational discount for the monthly membership but when cancelling it after a few months they charged me full price for all the months which was 80£/month. It does the job if you're close and you go off-peak times but certainly not worth £80, at best £30 for very limited equipment and not been refurbished in a while.

Went to this gym whilst I lived in the area. Was ok?.a lot of equipment is rusty and old, general changing room areas were always a bit gross, smelt of sewage. Felt like the personal trainers just sat around and did nothing / super loud. The sauna was never the right temperature and steam room was always out of use. Wouldn?t recommend to friends, not worth the £69 a month fee

Leg extension machine has been broken for a month, and it's the only one. The staff are super nice and kind but they don't know when it will be fixed as they're not getting replies - i guess from higher up the foodchain. It's a bit nuts that they only have one of most machines and if that one breaks it doesn't get fixed quickly.

Great gym. Good equipment, good amount of space - super friendly and helpful staff. Gets busy but big enough gym to handle it

Leg extension has been broken for more than a month?surely the gym, which is very overcrowded at weekends at £80 a head can afford a quicker maintenance team?with no pendulum, one leg press 45 and one horizontal leg press being more pro active with repairs should be a priority.

I?ve been a member here now for 8 months and can?t speak highly enough of the staff, all super friendly and accommodating. I also have PT sessions with Kai and couldn?t recommend him more highly, incredibly passionate about what he does and has succeeded in regularly hitting my goals

I used class pass to use the pool. The gym is really run down to the point where the sides of the pool are coming away from the wall and there is mould growing. The pool was full of screeching children having a lesson which obviously would not normally be an issue but there is no timetable or warning on their website stating the times of lessons so they can be avoided by those sensitive to noise. Having spent 5 mins in this horrible pool I decide to leave. The floor was filthy and I fell over (I am 9 months pregnant so this was obviously quite distressing for me). Went to speak to the woman at reception to say that the pool area was slippy and she had the audacity to tell me that I should be more careful when walking by the pool rather than getting someone to just clean the area. Awful service, dated gym and certainly not worth £80pm if you were to join, I'd recommend the Better gym nearby at Clissold. Honestly astounded at how bad this was.

I have been going here for about 2 weeks now. I haven't taken full advantages of all of the gym yes but, so far so good. The staff are all very friendly and happy to help, they gym its self is maintained very well and everything is very clean. No complaints whatsoever.

Extremely overcrowded. At no point have I seen more than half of the cardio equipment being used while I constantly need to queue for weights. I am considering moving flats just so I can be closer to a different gym. 2 stars instead of 1 as staff are nice

Staff are friendly however Sauna is never remotely near sufficient temperature. Incredibly inadequate operating at 80 degrees Celsius. Should be 95+, minimum 90. Making matters worse, this is deliberate as if you complain, they turn it up (by the end of your session when you are leaving). Stop cutting corners Fitness First. Clearly, staff have likely been told to turn this into a budget gym to save costs while at the same charging customers more. Hard to find a Fitness First Gym now whose facilities aren't suffering from a decline in quality and service.

2 weeks into my subscription with fitness first, facilities are great, staff are fantastic, love the fact I can use 30+ gyms with my membership.However, towel service was suspended for the last week and the steam room is not working at Highbury or angel and I believe many more, maintenance needs to improve or I will go somewhere else .

I joined this gym in February after transferring from harringay. The staff are lovely and the facilities are excellent. Its a friendly environment with great personal trainers always on hand to give sessions or advice if needed. I highly recommend training here.

Cancellation fees are an absolute scam. The gym is definitely not worth the price. If you want to work out, pure has 100 times better facilities, if you want to swim, better go to clissold than to that puddle they call a pool.
