RETRA Paddington

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Retra Gym for some time now, and it has been nothing short of welcoming since the day I joined. Neil was fantastic in helping me get started and made it incredibly easy to understand how everything works. Additionally, Angus has been instrumental in motivating me to push myself and achieve my fitness goals. Overall, I highly recommend Retra Gym to anyone looking for a supportive environment to work out in.

Fantastic experience: The best circuit HIIT gym in town! Nice open gym area too.

Fantastic experience: Best gym

Fantastic experience: "It’s a really great space to train and the weightlifting classes are great. And really friendly coaches and staff.

Fantastic experience: I really love coming to retra. It's an amazingly convenient and efficient way to get a high impact work out in. Everything is designed for you each session, equipment and facilities are great and trainers support and motivate you every step of the way. Would definitely recommend !

Fantastic experience: I've been at Retra for 2 years and workout normally 5-6 times a week. Love just turning up whenever and getting down to the exercises on the screens, I've never been so fit ;) superb gym

Fantastic experience: Excellent training! Staff is kind and workout is great.

Fantastic experience: My experience at RETRA has been outstanding. The trainers really know their stuff, and the friendly vibe just makes you feel at home. What's awesome is that there are no set class times, so you can work out whenever suits you best. The weekly challenges they run really add to the community spirit. It's a fantastic spot to work on your fitness goals!

Negative experience: Paid for day pass. Arrived at 6.55 (3 other people waiting) for opening at 7am. Left at 7.15am no sign of any opening or response to call to advertised mobile

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym where you can do circuit training.

Fantastic experience: This place is a gem. You walk in and you’re met with positive happy people who want to HELP YOU! You will be pushed to your ability and you’ll walk out feeling amazing. The staff are beyond amazing. Christina and Ella are so down to earth. If you are not able to do a work station, they will find another way of doing that station that meets your ability. I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s not a snobby environment either, it’s the best gym I’ve experienced. :-). Can’t wait to see myself in 6 months time and where I’m going to be with my fitness

Fantastic experience: Good class, friendly staff, clean facilities

Fantastic experience: Really amazing gym! The staff and facilities are the absolute best

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Retra Paddington for over a year now and I can honestly say it is the best fitness club I have joined so far. In the beginning I was a bit sceptical about it asking myself, would 30 minutes circuits be enough to meet my fitness goals? Would the open times fit my schedule? I have to admit though that 30 minutes are more than enough! I have been going to conventional gyms for some time and nothing can compare to Retra. I have seen a huge quality improvement in my overall fitness level. I have managed to maintain a healthy weight without the need to heavily restrict my diet or spend endless workout hours, I have seen a significant improvement in my balance and strength, I don’t suffer from muscle and joint injuries as there is always a trainer around to show the right way of doing the exercises and most importantly I feel very energised on a daily basis especially after a workout. Also, since these are structured workouts, I have managed to fit it in my lunch time, which means I can have a fully free evening to do whatever else and most importantly the overall atmosphere is so great, that getting that extra sweat is actually enjoyable. I don’t think I would ever be able to return back to a conventional gym again to be very honest. One last highlight is also the fact that it is always clean, which to me is a massive plus for a gym!

Fantastic experience: Really nice work out, friendly people and professional staff!

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in London! Has the best trainers that really help you progress and stay motivated

Fantastic experience: I have been with Retra since June. I want to review my experience with Retra in detail. Firstly, this is the first gym that got me coming into the gym at least 2 times a week. In the past, I had a membership with a local gym that is not HIIT based classes but a normal chain gyms that had classes you can attend. However, I barely went, maybe once a week and not even usually, and I was literally paying for the gym without using it. I had no motivation to work alone nor felt interested to push myself, but Retra- with unlimited support from the trainers, I have not only became stronger within a month but saw a loss of 10kg within 3 months without trying to cut everything off my diet like I usually do and fail. Secondly, the place is gorgeous and clean. Although I live very near to the place, I was always happy to use their shower as it is fully equipped with shampoo and conditioner etc as well as a hair straightener and drier. Their locker is PIN number based so never have to worry about forgetting your lock at home. Great facility to refill your water bottle and purchase any shakes if needed. Lastly, their social events are well organised and thoughtful. We have a social once a month where Retra gets us free pizza and drinks after a long day of working and exercising. They are very creative with events, and bring a live DJ to vibe with when exercising! I met great people from Retra and they are my source of motivation to come in too. I wholeheartedly believe every pence you spend on Retra’s membership is worth it. I am so grateful I decided to walk in and try out and continued to turn up. I feel great and happier that I found love in exercising.

Fantastic experience: Been going for five months and I’m hooked on Retra! 30 minutes is the perfect amount of time to see results but yet fit it into a busy schedule. All the trainers are super nice! 5/5 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been with Retra for about 10 months now and have greatly enjoyed the format of the workouts and the flexibility of no specific class times. It's an efficient and effective workout, and the trainers and environment are great overall. Highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Simply amazing. Doesn’t feel “industrial” at all and that was my biggest fear when joining a gym. But, it still gets tough in there.

Fantastic experience: Always a great workout

Fantastic experience: Love it, been a member for a bout a year now and there is always new workouts I leave feeling super energetic and excited for the next one!

Fantastic experience: Perfect workout with a mixture of strength and cardio! Perfect to get a good sweat on and wake you up in the morning. Facilities are fantastic and staff are always super friendly and approachable. Highly recommend - your workout is complete in 30mins!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in United Kingdom!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing workouts incredible people :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Retra for 9 months and couldn’t recommend it more!! So convenient that there are no class times; when it’s busy, it’s like a group class, and when it’s quiet, it’s basically a personal training session. Great value!

Fantastic experience: What a workout! So much fun and such lovely people

Fantastic experience: If you have never come across that spot, you better try it! Retra is the perfect combination of optimising time and space to build out your physic as much as you want whenever you want giving you power out in 30 min training. I’m going to apply on Monday for sure

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend this gym highly enough! The flexibility, the variety of workouts, the people and the location are all amazing. I've been a member for 3 months now and I've seen such a transformation in my fitness levels by coming here, which I couldn't do without the help of Christina. She is always on hand when you need a little bit more motivation or to guide you through the station. All of the PTs are approachable and great, always there to help you correct your form and motivate you. I also love how flexible and different the 30 minutes classes and workouts are. I wanted a gym where I wasn't tied down to a scheduled time to attend a class and RETRA makes it easy for me to come and go whenever it suits me with something new everyday.

Fantastic experience: Perfect for those looking to join a new gym, or looking for something a bit different. Having the PTs on the floor to guide you through the circuit each day is a real game changer, particularly where strength training can be intimidating to learn on your own. Really great and approachable PT team, and a community atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, short but great workout.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at RETRA and Laurie was extremely helpful with all the questions I had. Will definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: Best workout I’ve had in ages. It’s hard for me to get motivated if I work out by myself but RETRA makes it so easy. Laurie guided me through the stations and when I wanted to give up she motivated me to finish. I was glowing for the rest of the day. HIGHLY recommend this spot.

Fantastic experience: This gym had everything I was looking for!! The manager Laurie was so sweet

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to complete your workout. Full body and coaches at hand to help and train and develop you. Very motivational Gym love it there

Fantastic experience: such a cool environment, top of the range equipment, engaging trainers and amazing music which is so important for me when working out! would highly recommend for anyone of any level as you can work at your own intensity on each exercise.

Fantastic experience: Great place for HIIT training, small but very cozy atmosphere. The floor trainer is watching and instructing nonstop. Basically you have your own HIIT trainer

Fantastic experience: Awesome workouts!! The staff are so understanding with your goals and personal needs and will push you to achieve what you’re after. It’s a very boutique experience, especially for the price. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Love training at RETRA, the quality of the equipment is amazing, the trainers are super friendly and helpful and the workout is exactly what I need! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great concept, equipment better than 99% of gyms. Highly recommend if you want maximum results in short timeframe with no class times

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great team. Hard work but very rewarding.

Fantastic experience: The concept of this place is awesome, totally nailed it, was pumped up and sweaty by the end of it and found all the stations challenging but rewarding to knock them down and power on. Ben and Charlotte super friendly people so highly reccomend!

Fantastic experience: Short and sweet! Amazing supervised short interval high intensity combined with strength, despite being 30-40 minutes. Programme changes daily as well for a whole body workout.

Fantastic experience: Really good work out.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with great trainers and perfect if you're short on time. Kept very clean with hand sanitizer available, as well as spray and cloths for wiping stations! Addicted

Fantastic experience: Sick set up! Not going to lie...felt I may die half way through but Andy got me through it. So awesome to have a coach pushing you on. Session went super quick and felt incredible afterwards. Perfect high intensity training session for a lunch break. Will 100% be back to shift some lock-down kilos

Fantastic experience: Brand new gym running a really cool take on the traditional interval workout class. You can rock up at any time and slot straight into a circuit while being supervised by on sight PTs. This flexible approach is awesome, as it means if you come off peak you can get a small class vibe or even one to one training.

Fantastic experience: Just went to my first retra class....loved it!!!! Amazing workout in 30mins and such great value...would highly recommend for all fitness levels. A+++++
