Blockhouse Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: As a regular gym goer, Blockhouse Gym is one of the best gyms I have been to and it's old style look is iconic. Very friendly guys at the reception and always good vibes. The equipment is in good condition and has everything you need yo have a good session. They also have speakers that play music so if you have forgotten your headphones or like to workout without them you have some background music.
Fantastic experience: Nice equipment in the gym, people there are welcoming.
Fantastic experience: Very cool and convenient gym. Amazingly handy if you're travelling and want to access a good sized gritty setup with array of bodybuilding / hammer strength style equipment and much more. Very fair daily pass at 7.5 euro which you can pay next door as the kiosk if the gym is unmanned
Fantastic experience: This gym was great! I am visiting from America and it happened to me near my Airbnb and it was perfect for a day pass. The equipment is very new, the gym is quiet and clean, and the staff are very nice. I highly recommend and will visit again!
Fantastic experience: best gym in london, nice workers clean and good equipment, very empty aswell, didnt have to wait for a single machine
Fantastic experience: Was in town for work. Booked a couple of day passes via hussle. Helpful folks on the desk front, great gym, not too busy and with great equipment. If you need todo body building work out this is the place! Wish this was my local gym!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym
Fantastic experience: Equipments are excellent.
Fantastic experience: I go here to do legs as my regular gym doesn't have the machines these guys do. The gym is clean, the music is great and the staff are friendly. The leg machines are great and the opening hours are some of the longest around (excl. 24/7 gyms). Friendly people too, and not too busy.
Thanks for your feedback!! We are glad you love it here, be sure to share us with your friends!
Fantastic experience: I had been in a few gyms in the Aldgate area before I signed for Blockhouse. I would walk all the way from Mile End to attend this gym and, should I have not left London, I would have continued attending Blockhouse Gym forever. Blockhouse Gym is undoubtedly the best gym in the Aldgate/East End area. The gym manages a somewhat limited space in an effective way and it never felt crowded. I never had to wait to do my exercises. The machines are modern, top notch and encompass all you need for a proper and effective training. You won't find fancy, gimmicky stuff there. The choices in equipment are practical and well thought. The regulars lean young-ish (20 to 40 years old) and go from university students to young professionals. Profiles include beginners, hobbyists, powerlifters and some bodybuilders. The environment is friendly and welcoming to anyone. The Staff is very friendly, polite, helpful and knowledgeable. The customer care is flawless and I am impressed by their passion and professionalism. For the six months that I was a customer, this place was pretty much more of a home than the place I lived in as I would spend a lot of time there. If you're living in the area and looking for a gym that is not only a great gym but also a great community to be part of, you should look no further and sign up for Blockhouse Gym.
We really appreciate the time you took to write this up David, thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been to in London, great equipment always clean and a good atmosphere. Highly recommended if your local in the area
Positive experience: Excellent small gym with great equipment. Only criticisms: 1. The leg extension/curl machine isn’t the best… 2. The vertical leg press machine needs some lubricating/upgrading. It doesn’t move smoothly, which is quite annoying.
Hey LF, thanks for your feedback. Great news! We have a brand new cable leg extension/leg curl machine. Come check it out
Positive experience: Great little gym with fantastic bodybuilding equipment. Lot of flexibility with membership and pay as you go options. Friendly staff. Only criticism/feedback points: 1) the plate loaded leg extension machine isn’t the greatest. It’s unstable, very fiddly and has a small range of motion for tension on the quads. Wish they would upgrade it to a cable-pulley based one instead. As someone with knee issues leg extensions are a life saver for hitting the quads hard. 2) Some of the equipment needs a bit of TLC and lubricating like the leg press.
Hey MJB! Great news, we've got a brand new leg extension/leg curl machine. Come check it out
Fantastic experience: Great gym, good equipment and convenient hours.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and Friendly staff.. No matter the muscle group you can get a seriously good workout done here! I highly recommend this for the no nonsense trainer.
Fantastic experience: This gym is as amazing as it is infrequently used (for now). All the equipment is basically new, I was astonished to see it be such a reasonable price, and to have it be as un-used as it currently is. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone except my worst enemies.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing place! Very friendly owner. Day pass was only 7.5£. Can’t recommend this place enough
Fantastic experience: Good price per.momtj on a 6 month co tract. Nice little gym hidden away
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Great equipment, never too busy and opened till 1am.
Fantastic experience: Great strength gym with stacks of quality equipment (Hammer Strength) and dumbbells up to 55kg. Helpful staff and not too busy.
Positive experience: Great little space - quiet, clean with some high quality equipment. Would be great if they had a stack of smaller DBs though (>10kg) - not a lot of variety at the lower end.
Fantastic experience: The best GYM in the area, great space to train and the best equipment. Staff always on hand to help out too
Fantastic experience: New gym with great staff and fantastic equipment!!
Positive experience: Nice small gym, they have everything you need! Tried it for a a day because I visited London for a weekend, definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Had a look at most of the gyms around Aldgate East when I moved and Blockhouse had the best price and equipment for weightlifting
Fantastic experience: Hands down 10/10 gym. Friendly staff, excellent equipment, excellent hygeine, and definetly worth the money
Fantastic experience: Wow, what a fantastic place to work out. Their equipment is top notch and the staff are incredibly friendly. 10 out of 10 gym!!
Fantastic experience: Brand new, top-tier equipment - perfect for bodybuilding and strength work outs. Would highly recommend to anyone in an around the area.
