URBANFITNESS: Opinions

4.9/5 (97 Opinions)
Eviatar Cohen 2 years ago

Positive experience: Gym was nice, quiet, early hours are empty so it’s a plus, one problem is that I payed for 3 full days while in vacation there, in the third day they were closed(they were supposed to be open but there was a holiday or something?), nobody to talk to, or get my money back‍♂️

Emilio Blanco 2 years ago

Positive experience: Nice and clean, but towel services sucks, they charge £2 for an old raggedy towel, bunkers!

Fantastic experience: A great little gym in a secluded place away from the hustle and bustle of the City. UF Chancery Lane has very friendly and welcoming staff, always a smile when you walk in and happy to help without you feeling they are about to sell you PT lessons!! Although small, it has all the equipment you need over two floors, plus always great music to workout to. I hope to return soon!

Fantastic experience: Really great gym. The team are genuinely friendly and always happy to help. There's an excellent range of equipment spread over two floors, so there's always something to work on. It feels spacious even at busy times. Timings and range of classes are also really good.

Eva Aguado 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym and really cool trainers. Has quite a few nice classes inc. virtual spinning which was really cool, hiit, yoga... and you can have a flexible membership with them (i.e. can cancel pretty much anytime). During Covid they did free online classes for all gym members and before the situation with the coronavirus it was pretty easy to book a class with short notice. All around a pretty awesome gym and team!

George Heppel 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a member for around a year before switching gyms (needed somewhere a bit closer to home). The gym is fantastic - plenty of equipment, good showers and changing rooms and very friendly staff. Several squat racks and bench presses and I rarely had to queue for equipment. The cardio machines in particular are top of the range and brand new - 2 watt bikes and a fleet of running machines that let you run courses all over the world. highly recommended.

The facilities are clean and there are plenty of classes to choose from. The music is loud enough to keep the energy levels high and the motivation up but not to loud that you cant hear your self think. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new gym in the new year!!

Fantastic experience: This is a top notch gym, always clean and in order and the facilities are really high quality. The staff are amazing, friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: All the equipment you could need (both powerlifters and casuals), lots of space, perfect temperature, big lockers, big showers, friendly non-invasive staff, good music and an optional towel service, better than most London gyms at half the price

James Reardon 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for just over 2 months, having joined because of previous reviews. I completely agree with everything that's previously been said. It is a great little gym, all the equipment and facilities you need, in good condition and clean and tidy. The staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful, and it adds to a relaxed atmosphere. Probably the most welcoming and unpretentious gym I've ever been a member of. A special shout to Oana, she is a star! Enthusiastic, encouraging and fiendishly inventive in her choice of painful exercises, although they do seem to get results. She almost makes training sessions bearable.

Simon Brown 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: URBANFITNESS Chancery Lane is a really great high spec gym for a bargain price. The gym has a modern fit out, fantastic equipment and brand new changing rooms which are always very clean and tidy. They provide a variety of classes with really fun and engaging teachers.

Vergil Cheynov 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joinred a week ago, have been 6 times so far. I go at lunch times and dont find it busy. Modern equipment, clean feel and friendly stuff. Would suggest an anti slippery system on showers corridor and some shampoo that foams bit better. Been to larger gyms before, this one is smaller size but is enough for my needs. I do weight and HIIT training and serves me right.

David D 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best spin classes I've ever been to - I can't overemphasise how the instructors really manage to push you to your limits but keep it fun for everyone. Super friendly staff, with a relatively small team who recognise you and are always welcoming.

James McCudden-Hughes 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, facilities and staff.

adam molloy 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing new gym in Chancery Lane. The kits is amazing and the team couldn't be any friendlier. Highly recommend

Lorraine Tudor 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Not being typical size 8 gym bunny, you can sometimes feel uncomfortable in a city gym Environment *sings allllll byyyy Myyyysellllf* Bridget Jones style! Not here, you get high fives and a warm welcome every time you walk through the door! I’ve felt comfortable here from the first day I arrived! They don’t open weekends, but have another gym in Aldgate which is, and you can also use with your membership. Anyone who is considering, take the plunge and join! It’s always clean and tidy, the price is so reasonable, the fact you aren’t tied into a contract is comforting to know you could leave if you needed to! Access to a shower if you haven’t got one in your office is handy too! All of the staff are amazing, always friendly and willing to help! Thanks team Chancery Lane for making me feel happy to come to the gym and part of the family :)

Dennis Peck 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing new gym, with plenty of friendly staff and state if the art equipment. I am told there will be even more free classes added as the gym gets busier, so at £35 a month (or £1.15 per day!) what are you waiting for?

Joss Nick 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love having this on the door step. Equipment is awesome and staff are very good. Never queued for a machine

Niki Payne 7 years ago
