Club Kingswood

Fantastic experience: A lovely club, the staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The club is always clean and tidy.

Fantastic experience: I am a personal trainer and have had my own business providing training for arpind 10 yesrs now. I have been using Kingswood on and off for over 20 years now. And even when I had my own facility I recommended Club Kingswood to my clients as my gym of choice. I have trained and enjoyed the facilities all over Essex and I still can't help but come back to Kingswood. It has a great inclusive atmosphere, trainers and staff are well educated and very helpful, facilities are kept clean and tidy and equipment is regularly updated and upgraded where needed and repairs are carried out promptly. You would need to travel a long way outside Basildon to find a better facility.

Fantastic experience: Regretfully, I have to leave this club due to personal reasons, but I cannot recommend or give high enough praise for it. The entire team of staff are the most welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable people you could ever wish to meet and I will miss them all very much. The club itself is incredibly well equipped without being intimidating, as the rooms are all divided. The classes, which I thoroughly enjoyed, are extensive and frequent. What also gives the club its unique atmosphere is the diverse clientele that all use it at the same time. This made me feel very comfortable as everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I know this is a long review but if you guys see this, I want to say every single one of your names personally to express how much you've helped me and been such an amazing, supportive, kind, friendly, funny, sweet, lovely bunch of people. For anyone looking for a high end club that's more than reasonably priced, look no further than Club Kingswood. I will really miss you all.

Fantastic experience: Lovely clean gym friendly staff and excellent customer service.

Fantastic experience: Love Club Kingswood. Everyone is so friendly and the facilities are amazing. It's big enough to offer all the latest equipment but small enough to give you that personal one to one attention. Great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Always very clean, good range of equipment and rarely any issues I.e broken equipment. Brand new state of the art treadmills aswell!!!

Negative experience: I have had membership for about 3 years but I am not happy with the gym anymore due to the fact being told not being allowed to use the gym epuiqment by one of the staff membership I'm not paying such a high amount of monthly membership and not being allowed to use epuiqment even when my membership includes the use of the gym. She was so rude cancelling my membership today

Negative experience: Don’t join up if you don’t want to be targeted and humiliated by rude and unprofessional staff with a personal ‘opinion’ about the ‘appropriateness’ of your swimwear but no company policy. My daughter was wearing a standard tie sided dark green bikini (not a thong) and was challenged in the changing room about how it fit around her bottom, by the manager under the guise of ‘safeguarding’ children - abhorrent insinuation and treatment of members. They then mocked her by laughing and rolled their eyes at her when she quite rightly challenged them and asked to see their policy on attire which clearly doesn’t exist. Avoid - Avoid - Avoid.

Positive experience: Good gym facilities. Very poor gym music and sauna and steam room are shut must of the times

Fantastic experience: Had a great night with the Operating staff from Basildon Hospital, great venue, good food and great choice of drinks

Fantastic experience: I went for an Super Caci facial and Caci Jowel lift.Amazing experience ,best facial I have ever had.Highly recommended. 5 * service.Karen-Therapist was fantastic. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: This place was our solace during a tough time loosing a parent. The team are wonderful and were made to feel so welcome during our 6 months here. Sad to leave!

Fantastic experience: Just joined. I'm disabled and the staff are very helpful. Not very wheelchair friendly. No lift to cafe. No shower for disabled to sit while showering could do with bringing up to date with the times. Disabled people should have access to everywhere nowadays. Enjoying it. But could be better.

Fantastic experience: Lovely venue for my son and his fiancées engagement party. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Best gym you can find. It has everything! Would recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: I love Club Kingswood. I was introduced by a friend to do outdoor yoga classes when everywhere else was closed due to COVID. I now visit almost every day. They have a wide range of classes and racquet sports and amazing gym equipment. I have recently added the gym to my membership and mostly use the egym which keeps me motivated. There is also a swimming pool and spa. Club Kingswood has transformed my life. The staff and trainers are all so friendly and helpful and I have made new friends.

Fantastic experience: Been a member here now for over 10 years, the gym is awesome - always improving with new equipment, everything you need and the staff are great. Welcoming atmosphere - no egos and friendly members. Couldn't recommend the gym highly enough!!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. The staff are amazing and everyone at the gym is so friendly. Place is very clean and kept tidy. Worth every penny

Fantastic experience: Joining this gym has literally changed my life. At 64, I was really noticing a drop in strength and mobility. 8 weeks on using the egym machines and I've regained both. I've found all the staff friendly, approachable, and helpful. Also, much thanks to Tom who produced a workout elsewhere within the gymfor me, and advised on how to get the best out of each exercise.

Positive experience: Friendly, clean, good showers, steam room and sauna. Cheaper than a lot of other gyms. My only negative, is the pool is very small, but even that has easy access/exit steps, there are also a few tables and chairs around the pool. Overall a very good experience.

Positive experience: Haven't got a bad word to say. everyone's friendly helpful and it's kept clean and tidy no matter what time of day

Fantastic experience: Wasn't actually at Club Kingswood was playing golf at Basildon Golf Course. This is probably the best kept course in essex, the fairways are clean and grassy not bald and rough, the greens are unbelievable lush and fast. It has its challenges even the par 3s . When it's over the clubhouse is a joy to relax in or outside if weather permitting. Brilliant day out.

Fantastic experience: Love coming here,Friendly staff,always welcoming..great experience.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Best health and fitness club by a mile.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for many many years and it has always been a brilliant gym to attend, fantastic staff ,very friendly and helpful and the facilities are exceptional. Safety measures put in place since lockdown are very good making it a very safe enviroment.

Fantastic experience: Very well run and friendly club and has adapted exceptionally well during this difficult period

Fantastic experience: Love this gym so much and the staff are very nice and very friendly and working endlessly to make sure it’s safe in these bad times for all customers to enable them to carry on working out

Fantastic experience: The Club have really reacted well to the Covid 19 situation and have made the environment as safe as can be for all their members. We all feel very comfortable in the club with all the safety measures implemented and the staff are always on hand for advice and guidance.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined after the reopening of Club Kingswood during COVID-19. The strict cleaning regime in the gym makes me feel very comfortable and the spray bottles are a great idea. Checking temperature on arrival and separate entrance and exits were very reassuring. I really feel comfortable here as someone who is new to the gym and joining the club during COVID-19. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Good facilities. Family friendly club

Fantastic experience: Club Kingswood is definitely one of the most respected gyms in this area. The hospitality is excellent and there is a warm welcoming feeling from the staff. The gym itself is always clean and tidy and you can see the extra effort that has been put in place to tackle COVID-19. Overall, a very welcoming, family run Gym!

Fantastic experience: Since reopening after lockdown this gym has been simply amazing,everywhere is meticulously and constantly cleaned,the staff are brilliant and also wear protective pipe always. The classes are well spaced with workout zones actually marked out on the class floor! I simply cannot fault this brilliant club!

Fantastic experience: I love the eGym as I don’t have a clue at first I was scared of going on my own, made all my best friends join but everyone is great & my son who has a brain injury came swimming there & the staff showed him where to go & took time to help him which in my book was above there job role Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Kingswood is a fantastic gym, with so many lovely staff. They are all so friendly and helpful! The facilities are incredible and the value for money is better than any other gym I've been to. The new safety measures they have are very reassuring. All the equipment and any contact surfaces are wiped down regularly and they provide cleaning sprays for when you're in the gym. The staff wear masks and encourage good hygiene, which in times like these is great to see. They have effective one-way systems and ensure social distancing throughout the facilities.Thank you kingswood team!

Fantastic experience: The club has made every effort to make you feel safe, from entry where your temperature is taken to having your own personal spray bottle of antiseptic spray. Well done to all the staff. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Been a meme bet for a couple of years, Excellent gym, always very clean and my son loves going for a swim here. Never too busy and there are plenty of machines. Using the gym here is helping get to my weight loss goal

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, friendly staff and great facilities.

Fantastic experience: Great club with plenty of facilities with a nice family feel to it. I have particularly been impressed with its attitude to safety following its reopening following the COVID lockdown. Sanitiser sprays are provided on entry and other places situated throughout the club, together with tissue paper for wiping the equipment. Members of staff are regularly cleaning commonly touched points like doors, banisters and lockers etc. There are also areas set up to control the flow of guests safely. Upon entry your temperature is also checked. Also, throughout the club there are various signs informing you of the rules and advice for the particular activity that you are doing. As an older member, these measure make me feel safe and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Was cautious stepping back into the gym when they opened back up after covid however club Kingswood have implemented prefect safety measures to ensure I’m comfortable and safe whilst working out and enjoying a beer in the bar

Fantastic experience: Club Kingswood opened its doors prioritising it’s customers. They have put in place effective adjustments and safety measures to protect the staff as well as for the members to enjoy their facilities as optimal as possible. Club Kingswood has definitely done a great job. Well done everyone!

Fantastic experience: Even after the new measures and restrictions were put in place at Club Kingswood it’s still a great place to go. The staff are always friendly and professional and the range of classes is fantastic. I feel safe at the club.

Fantastic experience: I have been member of the club for 8+ years. It is a great place to exercise, play squash or have food or pint in the friendly restaurant. All of the staff are always in good mood and that brings in nice energy through out your visit. The club keep on getting latest machines with recent ones where your data goes to cloud and you can review your workout stats. In Covid I have seen the measures put in place and they are very good. One stand out measure is where they have multiple cleaning bottles that each member carry with them when they hit gym to clean equipment after use. The communication through pandemic has been great through mails, FB and what app group. Currently they are allowing 3 people in Sauna and steam rooms and it is great to be back..Hoping they Squash will get back soon...

Fantastic experience: Great to be back at club. Feel totally safe! They have taken every precaution to keep members safe! Using hand sanitiser on entering club and taking your temperature before checking in at reception. We scan our own membership cards as we check-in at reception. There is a table in reception that has bottles of sanitiser which each member collects and with paper towel that is supplied around the gym - each member wipes down each bit of equipment they use whilst in the gym. Equipment has been moved and some removed in keeping with the social distances. Members can work out in a safe space. The studio’s have marked out with a workout area for each member to keep a safe distance whilst taking part in the class and keep classes to a smaller numbers - all keeping with the government guidelines!

Fantastic experience: Myself and my partner have been a member of the gym now for the last 3 years and we can honestly say it is the best gym we have joined! Since reopening after the lock down the safety measures that the gym have put in place have been brilliant! It is a very clean gym, the staff are polite and welcoming on arrival and throughout the gym. We also like to have lunch and a drink in the bar when food is being served. The food is lovely and the portions size is generous. I always recommend the gym to our friends and family.

Fantastic experience: My family & I have been members for many years and excellent standards have always been maintained and in these times we feel as safe and secure as ever with the extra health & safety standards that have been put in place.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly atmosphere, is a home from home for many members. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Club Kingswood have gone above and beyond with their covid safety measures. As someone with severe asthma, I try to be extra careful and limit my risk to exposure to the virus. I have no worries going to this facility, because of the length they have gone, to keep everyone safe.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and very friendly staff. Having been coming here for years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. The club has worked very hard since reopening making sure all safety measures have been put in place and have been there throughout lockdown for people if just for a chat.great club and great facilities

Fantastic experience: Have been a member with Kingswood for over 5 years now and now this speaks volumes for the club and it’s members. Since reopening, following closure in relation to Covid, the new measures in place make me feel just as comfortable being at the Club as I would have done pre-covid. All members adhere to the rules and respect one another to the highest degree. A great club to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been a Member for 7 weeks now and I’m blown away with the quality of equipment and the friendly staff. Plus having a steam and sauna room! Before that I was at David Lloyd for 8 year and Kings Wood by far blows them out the water! Even through Covid I feel very safe with in the club to carry out my training and they always have a person going round cleaning things every hour or so.

Fantastic experience: Consistently good classes gym, staff and bar / restaurant now with regular cleaning / housekeeping which is now covid safe orientated and includes regular deep cleans in spa areas. Have used all aspects of the club and been a regular user / member since I first visited over 20 years ago including the bar and restaurant, steam and sauna spa area, squash and racquetball courts, fitness and yoga classes, swimming pool, boxing and martial arts classes, spinning, weight training including the new egym and even hired rooms for our regular company meetings and lunches. It would be hard to be over critical of anything as its generally great in all areas, pretty lucky to have such outstanding facilities so close by. Like every facility its not perfect, there are a few annoying problems like low pressure in the spa area showers that I have reported to Tom and will not reduce the review score as I know he will address them. Update Dec 2021, new spin studio been open a while now, quality bikes and audio / video equipment which make the virtual spin tours a good experience Annoying bits Steam room is consistently not hot or steamy and sometimes takes 45 minutes before any steam comes out Not enough hooks in spa areas resulting in people having to put their towels on the wet floor Showers in spa area are consistently poor (low water pressure) Update. The showers are renewed but possibly the worst showers I have ever used. Need to press them 3 times and wiggle the control to tease them into life then they produce hot water for 9 seconds until stopping so you need to press them to restart, had better showers in Thailand with a room that cost £3 per night Not enough hooks for towels resulting in people putting towels on floor or chairs. Need more towel hooks Oct 2022 New weight lifting equipment in gym Always lots of choice in classes and happy that boxercise has returned Oct 2023 Ros continues to set high standards as an instructor for classes like body pump, all instructors should use her as a benchmark. Water machine is worse than useless, takes 2 minutes to fill a water bottle, need a replacement urgently

Fantastic experience: Been a member for a couple of years. The club is always immaculately clean and they’re doing a good job being Covid secure. Big fan of evening spin classes with Lucy and Ros, phenomenal classes every time keep up the great work.

Fantastic experience: Great place would recommend this gym to everyone as it gym and bar.

Fantastic experience: Lovely facilities and the staff are so friendly

Fantastic experience: Lovely bike ride from laindon

Fantastic experience: Visited Kingswood Clinic always good and sorts out my aches and pains

Fantastic experience: 100% recommending really good gym

Fantastic experience: Amazing morning at the gym well needed following lockdown Very safe when entering and using the gym, equipment nicely spread out, lots of sanitising stations, are your issued with a bottle of sanitising spray which you use when using any equipment. Well done Club Kingswood, it's lovely to be back

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here for many years and have always found the staff friendly and knowledgeable. From arrival with a greeting to departing with a farewell you are made to feel valued. There is more than enough equipment and classes available for any gym goer. The gym was always well mainained but even moreso since re-opening after the panademic on 25th July. Entry is easy having a temperature check and everyone is given a bottle of sanitiser to wipe down the equipment after use, and everyone is doing the cleaning including the staff. They have had a little layout change because of distancing requirements and this has been done without any issues. The gym continues to be a lovely place to attend. IF anyone is anxious about going to a gym because of the situation we find ourselves in then no need to worry with Club Kingswood.

Fantastic experience: Attended Club Kingswood on the day they opened following lockdown. Very safe when entering the club. Temperature on arrival, everyone us allocated sanitiser to use on the machines around the club, plenty of hand sanitiser on the walls around the club. Staff on hand to answer any queries or questions. Cleaners around the club constantly cleaning and sanitising areas. Thoroughly enjoyable visit and felt totally safe throughout my visit. Well done Club Kingswood and all the staff

Fantastic experience: It was good to be back, a lot of time and effort has been put it to make it safe. Well done all.

Fantastic experience: Went back to the gym yesterday as their first day back due to lockdown. Was very happy with all the safety measures put in place. Felt very comfortable and safe, and enjoyed being back!

Fantastic experience: Back for the first time yesterday, very impressed with all the measures in place to address Covid requirements. Was welcomed back by the KW team - really great to see everyone again. Looking forward to getting back to classes over the coming weeks. Well done all at KW and thankyou!

Fantastic experience: Very nice! Lovely bar area, great also for hiring for private parties. Excellent room for dancing and a balcony with nice views, terrific in the summer months. Lovely staff, highly recommend! I often DJ here and offer a DJ and Photography package. See my review of Kingswood Club with some great photos, I'd be pleased to hear from you.

Negative experience: Zero thought given to the mostly elderly/disabled neighbours, constantly blasting music out far too loud for hours on end, with a microphone, wouldn't be so bad if it was inside! At times like this when you have to have your windows open, you can't even hear the tv. Not a friendly or neighbourly place at all,will be making noise complaints to the council !

Fantastic experience: Very glad to see the club back open great spinning class

Fantastic experience: Almost a year since me and my wife joined CK and we have enjoyed every visit. Staff are always friendly and helpful and PTs Jamie Mitchell & Bayley Archer really know their stuff. Everywhere is always clean and the restaurant serves really nice food at reasonable prices.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym. Friendly staff and great facilities.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and friendly staff. The bar has good food though I'm there for the gym... honestly!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for many years. This is a friendly club where you are always greeted with a smile.I have made some amazing friends there and of course not forgetting the excellent gym facilities as well as a good variety of classes. SP

Fantastic experience: Best gym in city! Very friendly staff and helpful!
