Dog House Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great full-body workout, loved the song selection and lights!
Fantastic experience: My favourite place in Balham since I moved here 6 years ago.. Best instructors consistently, amazing welcoming vibes always (not stuffy and stuck up at all, as some places can be in the area) and now the most brilliant new owner who is investing all of her heart and soul into improvements and fulfilling the potential of the place. New bikes, new extra sparkly vibes and some great new additions to the team. I always have such a great work out and in a magically fun way too, helping my body and mind to stay strong, healthy and happy. The endorphins are electric! So pleased this studio has been saved and I really can 100 percent recommend it! Thank you Doghouse tribe for helping me to be my best self :)
Fantastic experience: Best cafe under building go Check it out
Fantastic experience: Best boxing classes in London! Vijay and Grace are simply the best! Nandi in spin is phenomenal! So energetic and her music it’s simply the best! Never been a spinning fan however i always go to her classes!
Positive experience: Go to local spot for Spin classes. Giving it a 4 star for the instructors but the bikes really need to be replaced with quite a few of them broken or creaky. Adam is my favourite instructor - class is super high energy!
Fantastic experience: Love this place - I’ve tried all their classes and they’re all great. They’ve now seemingly installed better air con as well so the studios don’t overheat as much. Oh and big bonus points for the occasional dogs at reception, it always makes my day!
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Go almost daily and never had a bad experience.
Negative experience: First off just want to say the instructors are 10/10 here however the facilities are terrible. This morning I was in a class - a bike broke infront of me (pedal fell off the bike) and then on mine - the cage snapped, twisting my leg as I fell off the bike. I stumbled out the class downstairs to the u enthused staff who simply responded to me saying they had no ice. No first aider on site - no idea how to deal with an injury.
Fantastic experience: Helen is such a good spin instructor! Honestly such good vibes at this spin studio - love it!
Fantastic experience: Absoltuley love the pumping tunes and high energy classes. The staff are fantastic, friendly and it always has a warm welcoming atmosphere - Hard to find such a hidden gem in this town! Cannot recommend highly enough !!!!
Fantastic experience: Love Dog House, I've never trained so consistently in my life! Classes are always high-energy and fun, the instructors are super cool and motivating. See you soon DH! XXX
Fantastic experience: Justin has great arms x
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, awesome glasses, great instructors and a really cool atmosphere, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I love this place! Loud pumping music gets you into the mood for those early sessions. Instructors have been amazing as well and always there to help when needed. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: The Ride class with Adam was a really good, fun challenge and the facilities and the cafe downstairs are great
Fantastic experience: Love this studio! Great spin and Box HIIT classes
Fantastic experience: Fantastic small fitness studio. Great local vibe, friendly and engaging instructors, classes that always push you. Definitely get a few classes here!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great classes and they look after your dog while you train.
Negative experience: Was really looking forward to the Box class as it was a treat from my wife and my first time - alas, first impressions couldn't have been worse. Got no response when emailing about what to bring (as I received no instructions or info at all on booking), and upon arrival had two different women shove straight past me while waiting to check in (guess that's the culture of the place, judging by the wall). Arriving 10 mins early, I was told to change and come back down, only to find after waiting in the lobby for 10 minutes that the class had already started. Got upstairs raring to go and when I mentioned what happened the trainer just snapped "cry me a river". Guess that's the culture here too. The workout itself was fine, but there was literally no attention whatsoever on anyone's form, and while I knew some of the moves from other HIIT workouts, half the time we just made it up as we went along and flailed about while being told to 'work it'. The concept is fine, but the execution and service are about as poor as you can get.
Fantastic experience: Really excellent spin class today, hard but do able as was very motivating! My first ever spin class and I will be back!!. I will say the changing rooms are small and probably too many bikes in the room as I was hitting the person next to me at times but welcome to London!
Fantastic experience: Great classes and refreshments available after
Positive experience: Small local activity studio that focuses on classes. I have only attended spinning (a fee times). The spinning instructors are great and motivational. The spinning studio is small and they have fit quite a few bikes in, however, i have not yet attended a full class so that’s fine. Room is a tad too dark with very low lighting and black floor, walls and ceiling which adds to the sense of being inside a shoe box. Changing rooms are small but proportionate to the size of the studio. There are showers and toilet products to use after a workout. Lockers could benefit from an upgrade but otherwise all good. I would not use as my regular studio but for the odd visit via classpass, it’s convenient, clean and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Loved Portia's boxing class. She was ace
Fantastic experience: Really love it, so friendly and encouraging. I would recommend to friends. Really chilled vibe and v open trainers who are not sceney or poncey as they are in some other studios. They push you, but equally know when you have hit your limit.
Positive experience: Has a great number of classes at useful times. A little too noisy for me. It would also be really helpful if there was a contact phone number.
Fantastic experience: Could not be more impressed. Such high quality trainers from the top gyms in London. Amazing smoothies and breakfasts, lovely people , warm environment and you can take your dog!!! So happy this has come to my neighbourhood. It’s buzzing!! The spinning classes are some of the hardest classes I’ve done (and I spin a lot!)
Fantastic experience: SUCH a great all round studio. Excellent rides, really good facilities (everything you need in the changing rooms) and a Rawligion cafe with the most delicious shakes & food. And if you're really lucky, sometimes even dogs to pet in the reception area !!
Fantastic experience: In November I wanted to try something new and work on my fitness level as I pretty much had no level, now I am absolutely addicted to spin classes. The Studio is clean, the equipment is good, the facilities are accomodating, the staff are brilliant and welcome all levels, the front of house girls are lovely, Possibly the best 'non new year resolution' I made to myself. Also it's teamed with rawligion which have such a great variety for non dairy coffee drinkers. If you're thinking about attending just go for it. You'll love it.
Fantastic experience: Gym recently opened up in October and offers great spinning and intense boxing classes!! The team are awesome, friendly and super motivating.
Fantastic experience: Emma is incredible!!! Highly, highly recommend this class. Nice studio and great vegan food/smoothies. Good sized class and really friendly atmosphere.
