1Rebel South Bank

Fantastic experience: Such lovely crew at Southbank! Cameron and Tash were especially helpful making sure I got in on time to my 11am class. Thanks guys x

Positive experience: Well-designed workouts, great trainers, friendly staff. But: the music is loud enough to cause hearing damage. It's weird that they're doing this, when everything else is very tightly executed. Bring earplugs.

Positive experience: Seems a bit dystopian. Coaches are like AI driven robots. Fun.

Fantastic experience: Great cycling experience! Great changing rooms with shower, towels, shampoo, hairdryers and straighteners etc.

Fantastic experience: Sunday morning fav 1Rebel for Ride class!

Fantastic experience: Lovely front desk staff and classes are fun and challenging!

Fantastic experience: Best spin class in London. You gotta go to Ash on a Saturday morning! I’ve never had a more fun, positive, wonderful trainer. She pushes you hard yet creates a safe and welcoming environment to do so. And the playlists are banging!! (My only feedback is the showers can be a teeny bit smelly at times!). I look forward to my Saturdays every week ♥️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Well organized and great spinning class

Fantastic experience: Amazing class and facilities

Positive experience: great classes just a shame the membership is so pricey

Positive experience: Quite unfriendly when I went there and on this basis would not return. The woman on the front desk was busy chatting to her friends and it seemed very inconvenient to check me in. Class was pretty ok, hence 3*. Instructor delivered the class with mechanical professionalism but the formula was pretty good and did feel like a decent work out.

Fantastic experience: Great location, friendly staff and the coach for the class was good. Men Changing are clean and well furnished. The overall dark industrial vibe is cool. Easy to find in the area

Positive experience: Very good instructors - but both the ride and reshape studios are quite small and can feel cramped compared to other studios. Good changing rooms though.

Fantastic experience: My first impressions were ace. As we walked in friendly staff, and clean facilities and did the reshape class with Sam. The session was very impactful and really enjoyable. The only thing I would say about it being the last class is that when arriving being highlighted that the facility will be closing shortly after, just gives a heads up if having a shower. Location is just a stone throw away from Blackfriars station. Otherwise lovely overall. Solid A***** LDT x

Fantastic experience: The best place, the best trainers!

Fantastic experience: unfortunately no pilates here

Fantastic experience: One of the best gym I ever been! The receptionist are super polite and helpful, is a super clean environment that makes you feel you are in a spa more than a gym! Ride sessions are amazing even though my favorite one in reshape !

Fantastic experience: What a truly special place! Amazing trainers, FOH team and so clean whenever I go (which is often!) regardless of how busy they are. 5 star service and VIP treatment everytime. Isha and Aaron are wonderful and the manager, Lewis, is always so kind and friendly. Shout out to Abi’s Tuesday morning ride class too. Thanks 1Rebel ❤️

Fantastic experience: Reshape

Positive experience: Trainers and the vibe are great! BUT… unfortunately the Southbank site is being let down by over crowded Ride classes and the shoes being worn out. Looks like a common theme from reading reviews. I tried many different size 5 shoes and they all had holes in. It’s not what you expect from 1Rebel classes. You can’t easily walk in between bikes to get in and out. I was on the back row in a spot that I couldn’t extend my arms back to do the arm exercises how they were demonstrating - I’m only 5”5 so can’t imagine how it works for anyone taller.

Positive experience: Sanchez reshape was probably the best reshape class I have ever done. The receptionist was so unhelpful however. Came in on my birthday for reshape and asked if they still did the free birthday shakes because I never got an email. She said she didn’t know but I could buy one and they could write happy birthday… not really the point. My sister then after class said she would go get us both a shake. The same receptionist told her that you have to preorder as they were busy. Doesn’t state this anywhere. This was during class so there wasn’t a single person in the waiting area.

Fantastic experience: Great classes (with great trainers) and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and very motivating instructors. Ride was a great workout - can't wait to do it again. Changing rooms were clean and had everything you could need, including iron and emergency wet bags.

Fantastic experience: Love my Monday rides with sonia✨ great energy and I'm a regular! The exercises are varies so you won't get bored if you come on the same slot, defo keep this up:) Hope she can introduce mix of music genres or theme, but I'm not complaining!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, fantastic facilities, incredible smoothies for after workout. Very friendly staff. To highlight the reshape class at 20:15 on Wednesday with Alice. She is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had! The best way to finish your day. Been going for a few months and can see a huge improvement in my workouts. Definitely one to try out

Negative experience: Love their classes but some major issues: 1) Attitude of staff and trainers - at this branch, don’t know why but the check in staff treat you with disdain (they don’t at other branches) - some strange superiority complex which is weird seeing as we’re the paying customers, not them. Not the cheery attitude you get at Broadgate or at other similar places like Psycle. Some Reshape trainers are overly aggressive (I’ve had one had a go at me for not doing an exercise during the class as had to modify for discomfort - he did then apologise but just bizarre that this was even deemed acceptable way to react; again weird superiority complex). Something is off energetically with this branch and I try to use it as little as possible. 2) Cleanliness and equipment - hairdryers broken, recycling/refuse bins not labelled, hairballs tucked into corners under vanity units and stinky drains in the showers - a little bit more care needs to be taken to ensure things are working as they should for gym of this calibre. 3) Shakes - no detailed dietary information displayed for shakes and limited nut choices - waiting for an alternative to peanut butter and cashew butter for months - other branches offer almond butter as that’s more easily digestible and is overall better for you - they still don’t have any. There’s a waitrose right behind the gym / it doesn’t take that long for online orders to be delivered.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and amazing workouts

Fantastic experience: Every visit to 1Rebel South Bank is a five-star experience - kudos to the exceptional staff, from reception to (brilliant!) trainers to cleaners, for **consistently** making me feel so good!!

Fantastic experience: Janine is an excellent instructor

Fantastic experience: Loved the exercise and the experience

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for 3 days while on a city break. Nice team working there, music was good, instructors had energy. Appreciate the 3-pack for new members.

Fantastic experience: Good classes ! Clean space and great coach

Negative experience: I love this 1rebel, I go to a few different ones and have been a long serving member for many years. The reason for this low rating is purely for the facilities - they stagger 2 classes to come out only 15 minutes apart, first being 20 people, the 2nd being 40 people. The classes are mostly female and the changing rooms just cannot cope with this amount of chaos, you are lucky to find a locker in peak times. The magic of 1rebel gets taken away by the people running out of classes hoping to get a shower before work and it makes me question every session I book in here. The size of this venue needs to be seriously reconsidered as it seems to only be getting worse.

Positive experience: Highly recommend! Great work out!

Fantastic experience: Great spin class. Great facilities.

Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service (shout out to Cooper)! There was an issue with my account but he sorted it really quickly, got me into another class and even found me some shoes to wear for the reshape class as I didn't come with any thinking I was booked in for a spin. Honestly rate these classes so much anyway and today just reaffirmed why I come!! Thanks guys- legends :))

Fantastic experience: One of the best class studios in London

Positive experience: Great classes and staff but music is wayyyy too loud and they no longer offer free ear plugs like Barry’s. Please turn down music and also consider themed classes like you do with ride. I don’t want techno music with too much base.

Fantastic experience: favourite gym in London!!! Great instructors, very motivating. Feels great after every class

Fantastic experience: 1Rebel is expensive but an excellent work out and the trainers are lovely! I love the shakes at the end. Bring ear plugs as the music is very loud

Fantastic experience: It takes me over an hour to travel to this venue and I still go once a week

Fantastic experience: The best workout and gym in London. Awesome trainers, epic vibe and friendly crew behind the reception.

Fantastic experience: Amazing as always, Al was an outstanding instructor

Fantastic experience: Very good Reshape session with a friendly coach. I have seen the spin room and it does look a bit less fun than the one Victoria. Also change rooms are much darker, overall the place is quite different but very nice. Friendly front office.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and friendly staff/instructors!

Fantastic experience: Great studio

Fantastic experience: I visit this studio most evenings during the week, and it’s always a highlight of my day. It has my two favorite classes, Ride and Reshape, amazing instructors, an outstanding cleaning team and the friendliest front of house team who do a great job setting a positive, energizing tone for the place and keeping the ship running. (Special shoutout to Ariclea, Fran and Becca.) I always leave feeling great and looking forward to the next session. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: 1Rebel Southbank is a great studio! Becca and the whole front of house are friendly, helpful and the coaches are amazing! All areas of the studio are clean and very presentable. It is a great start to most of my mornings during the week!

Fantastic experience: Have been coming to 1Rebel South Bank for a couple of years now, so can't believe I've waited this long to write a review. Excellent trainers who motivate you and there is plenty of variety in terms of workouts. Front of house staff are amazing - always friendly and helpful. Shout out to Becca, Fran, Ariclea, Aoibahnn, Lucy and Louis - such a great team! And thank you to the unsung heroes - the cleaning staff who do an amazing job at keeping everything spick and span!

Negative experience: Workout was good and client service as well. However, it was extremely overcrowded there were no lockers available, so I had to leave my things on the floor. There was a queue for the showers and honestly no space to do your hair/make up.

Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service. I was late to class and wasn’t allowed in but the reception was super understanding and offered to rebook me on another class. Also I wanted to book a different class but the package didn’t allow so the lady was super helpful and gave me a refund so I can purchase a different package. Will keep coming back!

Positive experience: Great instructors and nice studio but the changing rooms are just far too cramped at peak times

Positive experience: Small studio compared to 1Rebel Victoria.

Positive experience: I’m familiar with the concept of the workout as a keen runner. As a first timer to 1Rebel had high expectations - however there is hardly any space in the class itself. Whilst it wasn’t completely full, there wasn’t much space to move around. Whilst there are plenty of treadmills, any core work makes you feel you’re a tinned sardine! I am rather tall, but haven’t had this issue in other gyms with the same format. A little disappointing. I will try other locations as I have a welcome pack, but I don’t think I’ll come back to this one.

Negative experience: Got an ear ache and fluid in ears after spin class, music was excessively loud. I didn’t agree to hearing damage when I signed up.

Positive experience: Had a really great spin class here! It’s very small which is cool in the class but afterwards you can barely move in the changing room so I don’t think I’ll come back to this location over the others.

Negative experience: Not the best of their studios which is a shame. I arrived earlier then expected and thought I'd do a bit of work before a class... There's no where to sit! The whole layout is a bit weird and not the friendliest of faces behind the desk.

Negative experience: I usually love a 1Rebel class having been to the one in Holborn a few times and the first time coming to the Southwark one. Very disappointed with the lack of space on the floor being absolutely crammed in. Probably half the amount of space needed to actually do the workout

Fantastic experience: Best treads across the 1rebel gyms

Positive experience: Reshape studio review: WAY too small for 11 weights benches plus treadmills. The class I went to was full, with very little space to safely do burpees or pushups standing next to the bench. But this is exactly what is asked of you, at pace. Cramming in hard nosed equipment with no floor space can lead to injury! This is a health and safety issue 1Rebel, you need to reduce the number of stations to 10 or 9 in this room. Until then I don't see myself rating you higher than 3 stars or coming back to this studio. I've passed on this feedback via email as well to your studio.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities

Fantastic experience: Been here for a few years and it’s an incredible place. Offer you three towels, sweat, cold and shower. My latest experience epitomises how great they are. I booked onto a class and no one else did so they called me and asked if I wanted to rearrange or cancel for free. I said I’d still go ahead and Matt put me through my paces. Pushing me to work the hardest I’ve ever worked and helping make sure I had good form and then buying me a shake at the end of the session. Customer service doesn’t get better than that. Sick guy. Cheers Matt and 1Rebel, see you again soon

Positive experience: 1Rebel have the BEST trainers and workouts! I've been going for years and haven't found another class on the same level! I bloody love it!! During stricter steps of COVID, I felt it had good distancing measures, but, since 19 Jul they pack the classes out like normal times. You have to share equipment if the class is more than 50% full. I watched a guy dripping and spluttering over the bench that I was going to have to use (without any cleaning). It defeats the point of having meat-flaps between the treadmills if you have to repeatedly touch something covered in someone else's body fluids anyway. It's too soon to be normal capacity, when cases are high and so many young adults haven't had their 2 jabs yet. It's not the level of hygiene that I expect from a gym of this level and price. You should get a notification when the class becomes full and you will have to share equipment, then you should have the option to cancel for free. Sadly, I'll have to avoid some classes and go someplace else until it is safer :-( :-(

Fantastic experience: Great ride class! Also they have a bike rack inside

Positive experience: Looks clean and tidy all the time Nice shakes to

Fantastic experience: My favourite 1Rebel location - great classes and nice changing rooms etc

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: Lovely studio and trainers, my favourite spin place

Fantastic experience: Great music, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Favourite gym in town. Fab foh staff, amazing facitlities and the best trainers.

Fantastic experience: One of the best 1Rebels. All the locations have a different feel - I've been to a few now, and this one is my favourite.

Fantastic experience: Lovely team who are always so friendly and welcoming, great studio, classes and changing facilities

Positive experience: Another great 1Rebel. Easy location from Blackfriars station. For Ride, more intimate space compared to Victoria. Changing rooms are a little dark.

Fantastic experience: Best gym! Amazing instructors, killer workout. stellar cleaning crew, big towels, hot water, quality shower products, lovely and helpful front of house staff.

Fantastic experience: Great!

Fantastic experience: Best classes ever!!! On top of that the quality of the space and the shakes is something else. One to give a go and experience for sure.

Fantastic experience: Had such a great ride class with Tess. Exhausting and exhilarating.

Positive experience: Excellent shakes and tough spin classes

Positive experience: Really great experiences dampened by the locker getting stuck ‍♂️ great classes, facilities and staff. The lockers actually looked really good quality until it got stuck. Easily would have been one of my best experiences if that didn't happen.

Fantastic experience: Really sleek modern fitness set up at 1Rebel. Designed for classes with brilliant and enthusiastic staff coaching you through the session. Healthy shakes are also available as well as nice changing facilities. Would definitely like to try it out again!

Negative experience: Zero clue about customer service.

Positive experience: Fun

Fantastic experience: Rebellicious

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Really new modern equipment. Always clean, staff always super friendly.

Negative experience: Very disappointed in the reception, didn't feel welcome.

Positive experience: Really cool, great classes and facilities but a touch expensive

Fantastic experience: Great studio and classes

Fantastic experience: I died in the reshape room! And I really felt the reshape

Negative experience: 1Rebel are usually a great gym with excellent customer service. For this reason we reached out to them to arrange for a private class as the start of a hen do. We paid over and above a normal class price for this, to include Prosecco after class and also personal selection of songs. Firstly, the time of the class was not booked in properly which resulted in us having to come significantly earlier than originally agreed. Because of this we were promised extra Prosecco to make up for the inconvenience. However, when the class took place, to our disappointment they totally ignored our song suggestions and forgot the Prosecco. We got nothing of the extra benefit we had paid for and it was an extremely disappointing start to the hen. The customer service after was also disappointing.

Fantastic experience: Energising, very welcoming and uplifting studio, great shakes and the spinning classes are really fun.

Negative experience: Below par compared to the Liverpool branches.

Fantastic experience: They work you hard at Rebel and they don't mess around. The trainers are knowledgeable. Great gym with great facilities. They are also big on doing their bit for the environment! 2 small improvements for me, the music is really loud, I wear the ear plugs but they keep falling out of my ears. Everyone else seems fine with it. So maybe it's just me. The instructions are very clear in the class but as a non regular, I'm sure I have mistakes in my posture. So I would like a bit more corrections.

Negative experience: Hair dressing service very poor and no quality in customer service at all.

Negative experience: Withdrew funds from my account for a ‘no show’ even though I was there in the class. Unacceptable lack of response in addressing when raised.

Fantastic experience: Nice intensive classes, works for me)

Positive experience: Beautiful location. Love the Ride class!
