Southwark Park Sports And Athletics Centre

Fantastic experience: Reasonable sized gym with a variety of equipments

Fantastic experience: Nice running track, good toilets and changing facilities.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym to go to. Staff are also top notch. Would highly recommend joining

Fantastic experience: As an athlete from out of the country visiting, these facilities were incredible. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: This Place is Amazing 10/10 It's had clean toilets, showers as well clean refillable fresh and cold water for your workouts as well as tissue and hand sanitizer provided in every toilet and even inside the gym itself, overall hygiene is a 10/10 In terms of working out, the equipment are up to standard ,daily repaired as well as working properly, all the equipment there seems to be really looked after and kept maintained and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. It has also been equipped with a outside track including sports such as football and shock put. Overall i personally think that this is a good quality, money's worth gym as well as a key aspect hygiene.

Fantastic experience: Newly renovated with athletics track

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym, loads of high quality equipment and they have the best treadmill I have ever used. Every time I run on it I feel a personal connection and it keeps me coming back. Treadmills have a very smooth ride and would definitely recommend everyone who runs on the roads to avoid injury and instead use the premium treadmill here. Some days I feel lazy and I don’t want to do some training but every time I feel demotivated or want to cut the workout short, I am confronted by the wonderful and amazing staff who will motivate me, one of the staff members called Rio is an exceptional personal trainer who has helped me out and taught me how to correctly use the machines, another key staff member that I would like to mention is a tall blonde bloke called Finn who always tells me to stop slacking and constantly reminds me of my goals, the motivation I receive is akin to a personal coach so I would recommend coming here if you have goals to achieve. Finn in particular has also helped me understand the dangers of training in carbon plated running, on my first day I came to do a weights session in alphafly shoes and felt loads of pain, for this I am forever grateful, because it has helped me avoid injury. I definitely recommend this gym, it is very clean and the track facilities are a good bonus. I heard there is supposed to be a renovation, hopefully the treadmills currently here still remain otherwise I will have to unfortunately give a new updated review.

Fantastic experience: I was hoping to find a track where I could get some final sessions in before heading on to the Masters Championships in Gothenburg. This is ideal. It’s free, nice staff and open every day for extended hours.

Negative experience: Badly maintained by the council. We have been told that the shutters will be fixed for months and they are still down and broken.

Negative experience: Such a pity that the roller blinds have been broken for so long, blocking out the natural sunlight. When will they be fixed?

Fantastic experience: Clean and friendly gym with great amenities. Student membership option is a perk.

Fantastic experience: Super place in the park

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, especially in the morning and great value.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym. Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: For a council gym at £25-£30 it's not to bad at all. It's not a huge gym but has everything you need. Just get their early if you have a set you want to do.

Fantastic experience: Yaw was so helpful and friendly. He allowed me to tour the gym and answered all my questions. He explained the fee structure and the benefits of joining the gym. I was amazed by how greeted and interacted with the people coming into the gym.

Negative experience: One (out of two) treadmill broken since November at least. Curtains also broken for >1 month on the gym front. Good investment form the Council but I can see it’s going down the same route of the other centres (The Castle, Seven Islands) where gym equipment is broken. Council failing to keep up with small maintenance shows deeper finance problems and bad management. For example, this gym is over staffed at times (I could count 4 staff on Saturday afternoon). Closing time policy unclear, sometimes they allow you few minutes to get changed after closing time, others just kick you out immediately- more clarity would be useful.

Negative experience: So disappointed!!! I was happy to start the gym and became a member! I am new in this area and went to ask/check/explore the gym! The receptionist showing totally (not interested at all) even didn’t let her colleague show the gym for me, I felt very uncomfortable, no even smile/good morning/ bye /thank you. definitely I never will back again !

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, clean tidy they have everything (any gym equipment you can think of, pool, sauna...)and the team is also very kind

Negative experience: What is going on? I joined this group of gyms when it was not run by the council 6 months ago. I started going at the Surrey Docks and Water Sports Center. At peak times half of the treadmills were broken and remained like that for as long as I was going there. Also cleaning standards are quite low there. In September I tried the Southwark Park and Sports centre and I liked this one because Yew specifically and other staff are friendly and welcoming there, which makes a big difference. However this gym has only two treadmills and one of them has been broken for 2 months now which means I can't start my training sessions the way I want because someone is using it most of the times. On top of that the blinds that are in fornt of the treadmill are stuck half way so when you use it , it is like you are in a metal box. The whole idea of trainig inside the park is to be able to enjoy the view and especially when you are running on the treadmill. I am really disappointed with how things are going, It used to be my favourite gym and I have had conversations with other people about the issues. Where is the council exactly helping if it takes them more than 2 months to fix a treadmill{still broken} and a month to sort a blind? Are we paying for this kind of services really?

Negative experience: Good place, but you've got a whole park for cycling and a whole track for jogging, a whole section of mats for stretches and kettlebells - and half the gym is still full of cardio equipment. Only one bench for dedicated presses, only two squat racks, and small selection of machines which are always in use. The weight area is consistently crowded and not very well suited to a straightforward workout. Cut half the treadmills, bikes and row machines and add more benches and squat racks, and it would be the perfect gym.

Fantastic experience: Nice local running track, easy to pre book but also doesn’t look too busy most of the time

Fantastic experience: Great place and great for school sports day. Everyone welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Topic and the vicarage

Fantastic experience: Quite fun when Cola do stuff like this

Positive experience: Nice gym to train

Fantastic experience: Incredible facilities

Negative experience: No idea what the business model this place uses, but I came down tonight to use the running track and got turned away because they had a "private function", there were 5 people using the track. This is insane, I'm a paying customer who is training for a marathon, absolute madness! I'll never come back, awful.

Positive experience: Great track

Fantastic experience: Modern, bright and neat little gym with lots of windows connecting you to the surrounding park, and a comfortable lounge area with access to hot beverages.

Positive experience: Looks like a great gym for residents with outdoor area and two other places that belong to it.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and spacious. With state of the Art equipment

Fantastic experience: Best place to train and good atmosphere for leisure activities.The gym is good and has enough facilities training and exercise.

Fantastic experience: I like it but need to be more clean

Positive experience: Has a full athletics track and reasonable amenities which includes a reasonably well-equipped, good-sized gym. Good inclusive access. Friendly helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: We used the gym and it’s got lots of equipment and is super clean and modern, recommended

Positive experience: Lots of facilities but some of the maintenance was clearly not to a high standard. The squash Court that we booked was falling apart.

Fantastic experience: Good gym/equipment. Staff on reception were great

Positive experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Not much in the way of cardio machines but great little “new” gym with spanking new machines and a running track to get you out for your cardio.

Fantastic experience: Newly opend gym, nice facilities, not too busy, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Staffs are very supportive and skilful. I am so glad that I found this Gym. Highly recommended!

Positive experience: Good track £5 to use if you’re not a member.

Fantastic experience: Great athelitics track. They do athelitics training here on Tuesday and Thursdays.

Fantastic experience: Possibly the best Everyone Active I’ve been too. Finally a branch with new, clean facilities and a good sized functional area. There’s also a full-sized athletic track. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Cool place for gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic track and brand new weight room. The staff was very helpful in getting my application processed. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing facility and staff.

Positive experience: Registered for a free day pass online and was contacted within 24 hours and booked in for the next day, the centre is brand new with fantastic equipment, really clean throughout and the staff are amazing! One of my favourite everyone active gyms in the borough. I will definitely be joining in the new year! **EDITED** I have changed my original review from 5 stars to 3 stars, whilst the facilities itself are fantastic what’s happened to the service??? From listening to other members the person who originally used to deal with memberships apparently no longer works there. I am seriously considering cancelling altogether could somebody please contact me regarding my membership I have sent multiple enquiries but it seems nobody picks these up anymore...

Fantastic experience: Best one so far. Spacious, modern but old school equipment, cardio outdoors (which is great) and clean. Nice people working there as well.

Fantastic experience: Newly built track and weights gym, with brand new gym equipment, fantastic changing facilities and running track. Great to see that they have disabled accessible changing areas and access. The terrace area and lounge space are great for watching the action as people practice.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. The facilities are perfect. Love the weights and equipment and the split focus on athletics, muscle building as well as general health. The staff are all super friendly and the place is always clean. I used to go to PureGym not too far but don't anymore as the vibe here is cool.

Fantastic experience: Wow, what a great new facility in Southwark Park! I have just returned from my first gym session there, having taken advantage of the free membership for the whole of December under the Black Friday deal, and I couldn't be more impressed: well-designed layout with high-quality equipment; immaculately clean; fantastic showers and locker rooms; and friendly and helpful staff. I got drenched in the rain on the way home but it was worth it!

Fantastic experience: Brand new facility, indoor and outdoor activities, open on weekends.

Positive experience: Only opens in the evening

Fantastic experience: This is an incredible local facility that should have more support. The London City Athletics Club offer training for adults, but also well-coached kids' dropin sessions that are super cheap and great quality. A new clubhouse is under construction, which I hope will greatly improve their capabilities, including toilets and changing rooms. Looking forward to them opening back up after Covid.

Fantastic experience: Awesome this track is now used Wednesday evenings! London city runners making it available to everyone ‍♀️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: very clean track

Fantastic experience: Decent place for games.

Fantastic experience: Went with my school and we had a blast

Fantastic experience: New track, club house set to be redeveloped in the near future friendly staff and friendly clubs using the facility.

Fantastic experience: Awesome shared home of King's Athletics, helping provide training to all UL colleges

Fantastic experience: The refurbished track is great!

Negative experience: Accès toujours refusé

Fantastic experience: Great track

Negative experience: Not access!! I'm dying to do my training there :-(

Negative experience: Derelict run track next to my local park. Tried to have a jog in there with my girlfriend but was chased away by the park manager.
