Body Works West

Fantastic experience: Body Works West Pilates is truly on another level. The classes are small, typically with just 2-6 participants depending on the time, so you get a lot of personalised attention from the instructor. The instructors here are the best I’ve ever encountered – they are incredibly well-trained. If you're looking for a Pilates class, I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great staff. Would recommend

Negative experience: I have been a member of this gym since February. Some of the staff at the reception are really nice and friendly and helpful. For £430 monthly (as a couple) membership there is nothing special about this gym. It’s extremely small and most of the time over crowded. Some of the classes are ok but the yoga mats for example stink so you need to take yours if you care about hygiene. Reformer classes are not included in the gym membership fees so you are asked to book these on an extra fee which is very stingy of them to ask. This means non members can also come to the gym making the tiny chill out room even more crowded. Towels are constantly piled up on the floors of the restrooms or in the lockers and despite raising it with the staff it still remains an issue. There was an incident recently at the reception which I raised with Debora the manager twice via email but she did not bother to reply to either of my emails. Overal this is not even close to experiencing a boutique gym. Save yourselves some money and find a more decent place that you can enjoy the time you spend for your well being.

Positive experience: I have been a guest, with a friend of mine at this gym and it is very nice and clean, for the way I do my work out is great but I know for some people it can look a bit small, it also has different areas and studio. If you are into reformer Pilates, I suggest to check it out. Very nice swimming pool, it could be a bit short if you are a good swimmer. I liked the steam area, and they also I have sauna in the changing room. Very good facility

Fantastic experience: I would just like to say what a wonderful, calm, relaxing place Bodyworkswest is. After a lot of stress being alleviated by exercise followed by a swim and a coffee, alongside the really lovely helpful staff, it has really made my day! Thank you BWW x

Negative experience: Hello, I’ve been a member of the club for quite a long time and was fit and healthy. I used to do lots of activities & classes including reformer but recently I had a serious injury in a Friday class with Irina. So be careful in that class because now I have several fractures to my wrist as well as the bone being misplaced. I had surgery but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to my normal routine, and no one has taken responsibility for that. Forogh

Fantastic experience: Very good gym, always clean with some excellent classes. Also great to have a pool in central London.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym in Notting Hill! Great facilities and such welcoming and talented staff. I never regret a visit!

Negative experience: Joined the gym as an investment and was hoping to use other facilities there too. I’d never done personal training before & a session was offered as part of the joining up package which I took up. The session wasn’t great. I did the full hour and felt shaky / broken afterwards but thought this is how it’s meant to be as maybe I didn’t get how to do certain things. Blaming myself for maybe not getting it. I was repeatedly told during the session i needed to work on my confidence & that it was the thing holding me back from understanding some of the instructions - this cemented the feeling I wasn’t up to it but I persevered. It was reassuring a few days later that the personal trainer came up to me and apologised for the session & offered to do another one with me free of charge -which I accepted (although I felt unsure about it) . It was somewhat good to hear they felt they’d pushed me too far during the initial session as my confidence was more broken by the experience. They also offered to send me feedback on the initial session via email & said they would be in touch re a new appointment but sadly I never heard from them again. The overall experience has made me feel uncomfortable about returning to the gym & soured the initial enthusiasm I had. I’ve only visited a couple of times since.

Fantastic experience: Top Gym in a lovely place...I love Notting Hill & BodyWorksWest!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Notthing Hill!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Great place to train and swim!

Fantastic experience: My second home <3 Love the gym, it's super clean and the spa is great. The staff are very friendly and always ready to assist.

Positive experience: Excelente

Fantastic experience: Great gym with the best reception staff and trainers who are really knowledgable, approachable and friendly! The gym is really well managed and maintained, and has a load of different classes that you can fit around your day-to-day, as well as a huge pool (and spa) which is rarely too busy. I have been a member for just over a year and have met a lovely community of members and had a great environment to work out in.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Super clean. With a great vibe. The staff and management are friendly and alway happy to help. The steam room and spa are top notch. By far the best gym in London. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: BWW is an excellent wellness space, framed within an iconic and historical location. The swimming pool has always been a flagship and distinctive feature of this structure! I have been a member since 2018 and I have always appreciated the friendliness of the staff, a refined environment full of freshness and dynamism. There are activities aimed at satisfying the most specific needs but they also try to achieve popular targets within everyone's reach. The facilities are excellent with cutting-edge equipment and layout! Recommended for those who want to start a fitness and general well-being journey for the first time but also for gym geeks. :)

Fantastic experience: I really love this place! The staff is amazing and very helpful! The facilities are perfect! 100% recommended! The zone is very nice just 2 min walking to Portobello Market!

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular at Body Works West for two years now and it's been a game-changer for me. The equipment is top-notch and always clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is incredibly motivating. Whether you're a fitness newbie or a seasoned pro, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommend!"

Negative experience: THIS IS NOT THE GYM to join if you are interested in lifting weights and are somewhat serious about building up muscle bulk. I’ve been a member for 30 years and just quit after being told off AGAIN for making too much noise.lifting weights. Join a library or visit a museum if you want the type of environment this place offers. DO NOT JOIN BODY WORKS WEST. Plus the trainers are hostile and intimidating, especially the bald, ugly one…Mark??

Fantastic experience: The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. Don't forget to pamper yourself.

Fantastic experience: Imagine the opposite experience to the worst features of a corporate gym chain and you’d get close. Privately owned, customer-focused and with some genuine/knowledgeable/friendly trainers. I was a member last year and if I lived in the area again would join in a heartbeat. Don’t miss the Members Christmas Party!

Fantastic experience: + This gym offers great classes (boxing, HIIT, trx and many others are simply amazing). Pool is fine, not that big but due to “only 4 people at the same time rule” is never crowded. The atmosphere is really nice, you really feel welcomed and any reasonable requests will be heard and the team makes sure you are satisfied with your experience at the gym. - Gym has just few machines but if you know your ways around free weights, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Negative experience: Not enough equipment, the gym is old , very expensive for what is jt ! And the staff is not even nice ! Good location is the only positive point.

Fantastic experience: Full suite of machines and kit, very clean. Not too busy and great pool

Fantastic experience: I’ve just joined and it’s literally the best gym in London! The trainers and teachers are all so professional, compassionate and highly trained. The gym facilities are gorgeous (the jacuzzi is my favourite part) and the front of house are lovely. It’s a real personal experience you get at BWW and I’m absolutely in love with the place! Highly highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: This is the gym that changed my entire perception on exercising, showing me it can really be fun and integrated into my routine. My months at BWW were exceptional to say the least. I was extremely satisfied by absolutely everything: the class variety, the instructors' quality of teaching, the facilities, how lovely and helpful the staff is, literally everything! This is a gym that feels very welcoming even for people who are not into hardcore exercising, but it certainly has the potential of converting you into a regular gym person! In my 3 months there, I saw incredible results on my body (and mood too) out of primarily attending group classes. They are challenging enough to push you but also move at a doable pace not to discourage you. This means that the better you become, the more you can get out of each class! Not to mention super fun classes like 80s Aerobics and Zumba I loved. But also more technique-based like Barre. Those were my go-to but I attended lots of others and loved them all. Another element I also liked is the variety of people attending classes, in terms of age and gender for example. It's not a 'showing off' gym at all and other members are friendly and very encouraging on each others' progress. I know there are some 'fancy' gyms around like Equinox but i'd highly recommend you checking out BWW before signing up to one of those. I think you can get much better quality and attention and a very warm, community feeling compared to impersonal, huge, detached places. Overall, I cannot recommend BWW enough! I truly adore BWW and I can assure you it has the potential of truly upgrading your daily life. It is worth every penny and I totally see it as an investment in my physical, mental and psychological health and wellbeing. Well done to everyone for making it the little heavenly corner it is! Much love to all of you

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at BWW for a number of years. The classes are excellent, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly and the amenities are high quality! Best gym in Notting Hill!

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes and gym facilities. Everyone at the club is always so friendly and helpful. It has everything you could need in a warm and friendly environment. Would highly recommend!

Positive experience: Great gym with the facilities of a Health Club. I joined this year in January with little experience or direction. 5 stars for my PT Hector who has been excellent. He has listened to my needs, focused on technique and tailored a challenging programme. I feel even more confident and healthier. Let’s keep it going! I would provide a 5 star. However I feel the facilities could to do with updating. For example the changing rooms have a lot of broken lockers and they aren’t always clean.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE BodyWorksWest. I’ve never been one for gym memberships, but this place offers an entirely different experience. The BWW team are truly wonderful – super friendly & helpful. The PT trainers are incredible, the classes are amazing, and the facilities are excellent. I always enjoy my sessions at BWW. Thanks so much, guys!

Fantastic experience: BodyWorksWest is by far the best gym in Notting Hill! The facilities are always spotless, the environment is friendly, and most of all the staff is a delight. Nash in particular is an excellent trainer - in our sessions together he gave me valuable feedback on my lifting form and gave me good hints on how to remember how to adjust my hips and knees. In training session he also made sure to include sets that I enjoy while also including what I need to work on. Could not recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I love this space. Such good staff and trainers and the energy is amazing- always clean and feels like a nice retreat with really knowledgeable teachers and classes that push you and the clientele is top tier ;)

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in all of London! I love how new the machinery is and never feels like the floor is too busy. I really enjoy the classes the most, because the trainers are so friendly and take the time to push you and get the correct form. They were also super great during the isolation and transition out of covid-life, with super clean facilities and clear protocols for the classes. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: BWW is the best gym around the area. The installations are amazing for a small boutique gym with a pool, steam room and sauna and amazingly friendly staff that is always super keen to help. Nash at the front desk always goes the extra mile to help from booking anything for you to great training tips. You’d be lucky to get a pt session with him too. Have tried other gyms and classes studios around the area, but this one’s home ♥️

Fantastic experience: Claudia and her team have been amazing welcoming me to their amazing facility. Thank you. Now the hard work starts.

Fantastic experience: I have recently started training at Body Works West ,and I absolutely love it ! Great gym facilities, the changing rooms are clean and well maintained. In addition to the changing rooms there is a sauna in there , so after a swim or training you can go and relax. Staff is always very helpful and nice !! I would definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over 10 years and I wouldn't join any other gym. I love the spin classes with Debora and Igor, and also been having PT sessions with Marc Newby who's a fantastic trainer. The standards are really high and the gym is always nice and clean.

Fantastic experience: Joined BodyWorksWest in January this year. From the first step I took in the gym I knew it was going to be a great decision to join! The members of staff are extremely friendly and incredibly helpful whenever you need fitness advice. Hector has provided my partner and I with first class trainer service and really cares about making sure we carry out our workouts safely and correctly. The classes are brilliant and Boxing with Farelle is the highlight of my week! I’ve never been to a gym where members are friendly and happy to talk to you! It really feels like a wider family and is practically our second home!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, very good variety classes every day. Reception staff are always welcoming and helpful. Love it and highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Sublime

Negative experience: Recently cancelled my membership after almost 10 years... This gym has a lot of potential, and very friendly members. The staff used to make you feel so welcome. Sadly, the quality has gone down in recent years and there seems to be a real lack of management. The PT department in particular suffers from very poor leadership. Such a shame when all you want is to spend money on training :( Some of the front desk staff are still super friendly but all in all very uneven service. I hope they manage to turn thing around.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out, excellent staff.

Fantastic experience: Lovelyyy studio with great Classes. Fiona for the Reformer pilates was amazing !! Thank you xx

Fantastic experience: Even though I couldn't fully enjoy my membership due to the pandemic, each visit to BWW was absolutely lovely. Both staff and members are very nice people, which I appreciated a lot. Glad that I found this hidden gem.

Fantastic experience: great gym

Fantastic experience: Great boutique health club tucked away in Notting Hill - friendly atmosphere, professional staff and up to date gym equipment. Peaceful pool with relaxing lounge - perfect way to work out and relax

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 2 years, lovely staff and amazing pool area whit jacuzzi. What I love the most are spinning classes and gym equipment.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym! Great location and very friendly staff. Swimming pool, sauna and they even have a beautiful lounge. Best luxury gym in Notting Hill.

Positive experience: This gym is perfect, I just wish there was an abductor chair, and stairs machine, the gym is very good, but I think there could be more machine for legs and butt.

Fantastic experience: Member since 2016,In the very heart Of Notting Hill; is not just a place for fitness and wellness, is a very exclusive environment with friendly and professional staff at all time. Starting with reception, very helpful and always ready to make you feel at home.The management is always caring with great initiatives and activities; the trainers and advisors are the best in town, with years of experience and expertise. Makes me feel part of an exclusive club and I’m so glad to pay every visit to find a moment of peace and self care. Strongly suggested the classes with Igor, whit always good music and energy shared across the participant. He made me passionate about it, even tho I am not a cardio lover at all Also the pt session are really amazing, the whole team is always approachable and making sure you have the best experience at all time. Is my city sanctuary were to spend relaxing hours and feeling pampered and rejuvenated. happily a member

Fantastic experience: BodyWorksWest is a Notting Hill gem! We love coming to the gym and use the wellness facilities too. All the staff has always made us feel so appreciated and has a AUTHENTICITY about them that is rare! Thank you BW

Fantastic experience: A totally relaxing experience! Happy I made the switch to this local gym. Staff is friendly and always welcoming. Shows you once more, independent businesses does it best.

Fantastic experience: AND RELAX – this tucked away corner on Westbourne Grove has really made health, wellness & fitness a joy! I love my physio which is located in the same building and cannot get enough of the staff. I have come to be friends with so many of the longer-term faces and really cannot imagine life in this corner of London without these guys. Thank you for keeping us sane and fit during lockdown, being back and seeing everyone smiling and getting on with “the new normal” is so heart-warming – LOVE TEAM BWW

Fantastic experience: Wellness of body and mind! I love this west London haven of calm. Having done some contributing content work with them it’s been such a pleasure to get to know the team. From the digital content person to the general manager – this is a place you could easily claim as “home” – LOVELY PLACE

Negative experience: DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE. The General 'Manager' is rude, arrogant and talks to her staff like nothing I've heard before. I've visited the gym a few times and she never changes. She runs around like a headless Chicken trying to be helpful, but as actually just stressing everyone out and making for a very uncomfortable experience. The other reception staff were great. They were friendly and relaxed. If only the General manager knew what she was doing

Fantastic experience: Absolute gem of a gym. Great atmosphere and professionals at hands for all types of advice. Whatever fitness you’re into is on hand. Pilates reformer, HIIT classes, stretching and yoga. The place just is just buzzing with positive energy and smiles. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I went to in London. The facilities are great and the spa area is my favourite. What I really like about this place is the staff, friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic experience: BodyWorksWest has the best spa and gym in Notting Hill. It's basically my second home - and one of the main reasons why I've stuck around this area for so long. Their staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. You do not get this level of service from places run by big corporate chains. The only thing I would suggest is that they implement a policy to ban the usage of phones for talking or playing music in the spa which myself and others find irritating. PS. Their parties are great!

Fantastic experience: Best ever gym i have seen in this area amazing friendly Trainers, staff and reception. Top 10 classes I have ever attended.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Notting Hill with large swimming pool and awesome cycling classes

Fantastic experience: I never knew it was possible to fall in love with a gym until I met BodyWorksWest. It’s tucked away in a side street and the whole facility is lovely with a range of classes and a great pool, jacuzzi and sauna setup. Going to the gym starts to feel like a treat which is never a bad thing. Highly recommend if you are in the Notting Hill area.

Positive experience: I really like this gym. The only reason I am giving it 4* is because it doesn’t lend it self well to flexible usage. You can put your membership on hold but only for a limited months a year - and you still have to pay when its on hold. This is a challenge for my lifestyle.

Negative experience: Staff on reception are extremely unhelpful and are not welcoming at all. This came as quite a shock considering the area they are based in and the money they charge for one to be a member. Same reason why I left the harbour club, these 'luxury' gyms/clubs are really not what they profess to be, I've received better customer service from places like pure gym and better gym.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. I've joined a full tilt boxing club or I would still be there. Great staff, its never too busy, and the spa and steam and pool situation is awesome. The change rooms get pretty fleshy but if you can handle that its a great boutique club for the solo traveller who wants to shake up their fitness. Love the apples in the foyer.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've joined to date - sadly leaving as moving location. Huge amount of classes, great facilities including pool and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a couple of years now. Pool is great, often empty. Often get the pool to myself, which is a rare, beautiful thing. I think the cost is pricey but I get it free with work

Fantastic experience: Loved this gym. Cosy, very Clean, great classes & very friendly stuff

Fantastic experience: Quiet, warm and friendly club in West London. Visiting the area over the festive break and needed a gym with a flexible membership to get my fitness fix.

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym

Positive experience: Quiet, convenient, but it is a bit limited in equipment.

Fantastic experience: Having worked and been a member at most Gyms in London I'm so happy I joined BBW. The range of classes is great, the gym floor is never over crowded and always tidy, the pt's and staff are really approachable and the swimming pool and Reformers classes are an amazing bonus.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 5 months. Very pleased with the experience and the results so far, felling so much fitter. The staff could not be more helpful or professional. The facilities are excellent and kept in good order and clean.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of almost every generic gym in London and always found things such as class quality and 'busyness' frustrating, so decided to make the jump up to this gym, definitely the right decision. I'm really motivated to work out and finding I actually use the pool, sauna etc. Staff are really friendly and equipment is all excellent. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Been finding it amazing! The facilities are great and the boditrax session was very invaluable. Will be coming a lot more!

Fantastic experience: "I have a far from normal working routine working with bands and artists , nothing is regimented and I needed a Gym that would accommodate this. I have been delighted with Body Works West , the entire crew there are just wonderful and completely professional. I signed up for personal training with Marc and have seen great results , not only from the tailored workouts but also from the nutritional advice in my everyday life. I never write reviews but these folks totally rock, thank you"

Fantastic experience: Best gym in London, located in the heart of Notting Hill: very exclusive, ideal to achieve any fitness goals and to get support from the fitness team. Very professional staff at all levels and great vibe. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place! I was someone who didn't like to go to the gym - only until I joined BWW. Great classes, beautiful swimming pool and very friendly staff will make your experience so pleasant that you will want to go every single day!! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Bodyworks West! It's the best gym I have ever joined and I love the new functional training equipment.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in London in my opinion - friendly staff, quality equipment and great facilities!

Fantastic experience: BWW is a fantastic gym. Great space for functional training and nice equipment. Staff are friendly and there are lots of experienced personal trainers.

Fantastic experience: The most beautiful gym in London

Fantastic experience: I use the gym 3-4 times a week and love it. The gym is never too busy so you're not waiting for machines to come free. The staff are friendly & always happy to help. It's so central so it takes me a couple of minutes to walk to from work. I'd recommend joining.

Fantastic experience: Superb facilities with very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the whole of London by far. I choose to live in West London because of this gym! A very relaxing, tranquil, nourishing, friendly place. And the community who attend are amazing too.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in London, by a landslide.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of a few gyms and this one is by far the best! I love coming in on these cold nights after work and unwinding in the lounge before I prepare myself for a workout with my trainer!

Positive experience: BWW is lovely little club and really personal and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Went for a trial,left with a membership. Only used the pool and jacuzzi facilities,so that's what I can judge. Really ambient and beautiful place. Friendly is a poor word when it comes to the staff...super polite and helpful. Unlike the pool temperature,the prices are insane,but It definitely worths it,we have one life,let's pamper ourselfes! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined as I was sick of the corporate gym that had tied me into a twelve month contract without providing a good service. I have no regrets. Body Works West is a tranquil haven that I enjoy visiting a couple of times a week. It has a real boutique feel to it and the staff have always been super friendly and helpful. The highlight for me is the pool - it's stylish and of a good size for lengths and I really enjoy the sauna and a steam room after a stressful day at work. Thanks Body Works West :)

Fantastic experience: A boutique health club that i have always had a great training session in, the spa is amazing spend hours in there. Friday mid morning spin is a tough one but one of the best classes i have been to. Great staff :)

Fantastic experience: BodyWorksWest is truly a diamond in the rough. There class selection is second to none, with some of the best instructors I've ever come across. Not only do they have an awesome gym and great classes, but they also have a stunning swimming pool and spa area too, it's really deceptive from the outside, I was stunned how big the club actually was. My time at BodyWorksWest was a most memorable one, I would Highly recommend to anyone living in West London, or even if you just paying a short visit to London like I was, and need a good place to work out, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I love BodyWorksWest. It's such a friendly place, well equipped and well run. It feels like a real luxury to be a member, and normally I'd expect to pay a lot more, especially given the quality of the facilities.

Fantastic experience: No matter what mood i'm in, a Boxfit class at Body Works West always make me feel great! It's a fantastic workout from head to toe. Daniel's infectious enthusiasm, makes you want to give it your all in the class, even if you thought you were going to "take it easy". It's a fun filled, high energy class that always leaves me with a big smile on the face.
