Negative experience: Gym equipment is nice and staff are friendly. However, there is very rarely any water pressure in the showers, it kind of just dribbles out and then will stop completely after 30seconds. Due to this lack of water pressure, the vast majority of the time there is no water in the water fountains, so make sure you load up at home and ration it carefully whilst you’re in this gym

Negative experience: I’ve been a member at Fitness First Baker Street for a while now, and while the facilities are decent, my recent experience has left me extremely disappointed. I was told that if I referred a friend, I would receive a discount on my membership. I referred a friend, and they signed up but, I never received the discount I was promised. It’s frustrating to feel like I’ve been misled, and this lack of transparency makes me question whether I want to continue using their services. If they can’t honor their commitments to members, it really puts the integrity of the gym into question. I expected better.

Negative experience: Extremely disappointed with Fitness First. I joined using my friend's referral code, which was supposed to give her a free month for referring me, but she never received it. I signed up for a month with a rolling contract that I had to cancel manually. However, when I tried to cancel, the app wouldn't let me do so until 7 days after joining. Once I was finally able to, there was an unexpected cancellation fee that was never mentioned! The manager failed to explain any of these terms clearly. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, he casually admitted to not mentioning these terms, as if that was acceptable. It really feels like they're trying to trap you with hidden fees and false promises. I wouldn’t recommend this gym to anyone!

Negative experience: Average gym at best. Really poor customer service. My wife had surgery and couldn’t go the gym for six months. She asked to freeze her membership and has had no response for 5months despite regular chasing. The PTs are pushing salespeople often making you feel uncomfortable. The only positives is the convenient location and friendly reception staff. EDIT POST REPLY: Thank you for your reply on here.

Negative experience: Overall, it has been a very unpleasant experience since I decided to join Fitness First. Their customer service is lacking in all aspects, and responsiveness is an absolute joke from top management to the branches. The continuous interruption of the services for poor maintenance and long periods of repairing completely affects your routines. Be ware of your finances, they take no mercy and will take you countless days and month to get a resolution from them. Overcharged over the months despite the initial agreement and it seems like there is no way out, not even by cancelling your membership. I will suggest to avoid at all costs. Whether baker Street or Jersey, no matter the tier, the service is poor at all levels.

Negative experience: Relatively good gym, not enough space for weights section especially during peak hours. Customer service is shambolic, one takes ages and to they aren't congruen. I wanted to cancel my membership as I was moving. I was told that it would cost £250 and then upon cancelling it went to £450. I went to email them and they said the cancellation fee is subject to change based on factors. Another commercial gym charging a premium and not delivering at all. I would look elsewhere tbh (I've been a PT for 4 years so have experienced plenty of gyms and this one was the worst)

Negative experience: 1 star because is very easy to join but they make it very difficult when you are trying to cancel your membership, after you have completed 12 months contract, apparently there’s still a cancellation fee even though T&C’s mentions 30 days notice only required. There’s no one you can speak directly regarding your membership, the gym will suggest, we need to speak to head office and this can take 10 days, the membership manager at the gym has no idea when it comes to membership matters. it is a very long winded process. I do not recommend this place. I have contacted the membership team on 29th March and this problem is still outgoing. If I get a response, I just get half an answer and not the full picture. I will no rejoin or choose to join fitness first in the future and I do not recommend it for this reason.

Fantastic experience: My fav class is Boxercise on Mondays with Coach Kamal. It is not only a rigorous workout but it's helped me with coordination, confidence and dealing with stress. I've seen so many women empowered by Kamal's training and the men too. If you're anywhere central, this is the perfect way to beat (up) the Monday blues! This is the gym that I keep returning to. It's clean, equipped with the latest technology and workout machines, and let's not forget the fantastic staff. Warm up on the gym floor and cool down in the delightful pool, followed by a stint in the steam room or sauna. Check it out!

He did well to take into consideration my specific requirements and needs and he built routines that were energetic, varied and enjoyable. I found the coaching very helpful and encouraging and willing certainly book more sessions with him.

No follow up, chasing the 4th time with the central team they blamed an internal issue and offered to resolve it but would now be £50 a month extra at my own cost - despite them being able to see how much I chased them to switch.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I have tried in London :) The equipment is in good condition. It's usually busy after 4 pm, like any other gym, but in my experience, it hasn't felt crowded to the point it's uncomfortable. The dressing rooms are always clean, showers and makeup areas are on point. The towel service is a great add and so far I have never had an issue with it. I have also gone to a few yoga classes and they have been amazing for me (It would be great to know what level of yoga the classes are in the app btw). There are many other classes all day long that can be booked using the app (which is good too!) Last but not least, I had a personal training session with Dalkeith and he was awesome. He is very supportive and so encouraging. I will look up to him in the future to have more PT sessions!

Fantastic experience: Dalkieth was a sensational PT and words can’t describe the journey we’ve been on. From being a newbie that knew nothing about the fundamentals of the gym and how it operates. He nurtured me and guided me to feel extremely confident in my ability. We’ve developed a strict but not too intense programme tuning my workouts around mass and building. When we then proceed cutting Dalkieth is attentive with his details. And even though it’s online it feels like we’re there in person. I’d highly recommend him if you want a serious approach or someone to ease you in.

Negative experience: What reviews below will tell you about this fitness club. - Poor facilities. - Rude and obnoxious staff. - Poor club management - Dirty sales tactics - the one salesman mentioned below a few times below can’t interact with customers properly, I wasn’t sure if he was a bit dumb or was just being purposely obnoxious for no reason. Wouldn’t recommend this gym or fitness first clubs at all to be honest, they have an odd approach to customer service and from what I can tell a bizarre company culture and it’s definitely not customer first if anything it seems money first with a touch of brokie vibes, I don’t know what the economics are for running gyms in London but they make it seem like it’s not good. Even though this is a premium club be aware it’s only on the surface, things don’t get fixed quickly (which I still can’t figure out if is to save money or because they just don’t give a toss - when I asked when a water fountain may be fixed I was told the one maintenance man they move around the country to fix things at FF clubs was too busy fixing things at other clubs, if I was in the mood for a daft story about nothing I would read the daily mail, I just asked when it may be fixed), I think the last time the gym got a deep clean was when it opened, some of the staff are nice, others you will get the feeling are ready to follow you out on the door on the way home for a good old London shanking, the place is grubby although cleaners seem good but too much to clean up, quite a few machines are missing, the pool area is a serious incident waiting to happen and I just can’t believe that area is within building code, if it is wow , the sauna regularly can’t hold temperature, I mean if I wanted to sit in a semi-hot room I’d just turn the heater up at home. Needs to be min 80 deg to take into account people in and out. And finally if you have an issue with the staff or the gym, good luck. Even if they are in the wrong they will 100% still want your money. I got the impression there is no control of staff to protect the image of the club and brand and they can do as they please. I mean customer service is often bad in the UK and expecting the cheerful attitude with a smile of which accustomed to may be a bit much, but a basic level of respect is still required of which I noted on a few occasions of note for myself you will not receive at this club. Oh well I’m going to check out a few other FF clubs to see if any better until my contract ends and will be sure to leave appropriate reviews Update: Attended Tottenham court as couldn’t attend baker street. Apart from usual shortcomings I can say baker street is mis-managed. Tottenham court staff are much better and facilities maintained and repairs quick. Update: They finally cancelled my membership albeit after contract expiry in Aug due to my review which they don’t like and a blunt email response when questioned me. Suits me as was in process of deciding what gym to sign up to next. My primary issue involved expletive from staff member (which I must note did not engage with staff member in any capacity before/after or at anytime or any other staff and members at all really as I just do my workout). If I got an apology and cancellation as requested (as didn’t think wise to attend the facility if escalation may occur) I wouldn’t have given a review. Received neither and they told me I should go to another club at my time and expense (travelled further and also paid for higher monthly fee till end of contract than other FF clubs in locality). I can’t understand logic and they can’t either as asked. Seems terrible customer engagement to me. I don’t leave reviews unless really bad as is difference between being lacklustre and just downright nasty. They never reached out to resolve as stated below, they just didn’t expect and maybe didn’t know can update reviews weekly and is annoying them . An eye for an eye.

Negative experience: I’m a membership of Baker Street fitness first club for 1 year already and the last update of 07/03/2024 it’s in this club they install a new steam room, more cheap, means that the steam room it’s not the same as before it’s worse. The sauna it’s also not that hot as before and the pool it’s also cooler than before… after this I don’t see reasonable pay 109£ per moth. Last detail, the towel service it’s worse too and the clean towels are smelly. Unfortunately this will be my last moth here…

Negative experience: £150 per month (monthly rolling) for a congested Fitness First with not enough equipment during peak hours and open for limited hours only. Visited to have a look and understand prices. It's too much given its Fitness First. The squat racks are very limited, only one Chest Fly and Rear Delts machine, limited linear space, unnecessary space carved out for swimming pool to fit in somehow. A minimal The Gym group or PureGym for ~£30 per month can put this gym to shame! For this exorbitant price, one would join a luxury gym with better classes and facilities in my opinion. Not for me!

Positive experience: Great facilities and lovely PT's. Watch the sneaky cancellation charge on the direct debit membership - they will charge you for the value of days accrued within that month to cancel.

Negative experience: Was working out the other day. I went to the changing area to prepare for the sauna steam room. This was 9:20pm. At 9:30 I went to the steam room as the sauna was not working. As I was walking in the male cleaner came and opened the steam room door. He started informing everyone that the area is closing when it normally closes at 9:45. He made the entire area cold and wasn’t listening to anyone’s Conner’s. There were 9 people in the area who were super annoyed. He then went away and came back, again telling everyone to leave the area. He also turned of the lights and steam. This is supposed to be a premium gym and one of the best in its chain. The service here is very poor, the staff seem unhappy here and just want to leave for the day. It’s definitely not worth the price. They also always tuen off the lights in the area at 9:45 so when walking out, you can so easily trip and fall, a huge health and safe issue that needs to be addressed.

The gentleman took serious pride in his work and everything was sparkling clean - I’ve never seen it that clean and fresh before. I was so impressed that I had to write this review. FF is a great gym but the cleanliness of its toilets / showers is usually satisfactory as opposed to stellar. Today was stellar ! Thank you team <3

Negative experience: I am so unhappy and I recommend anyone looking for a gym to look at other options as you will end up unhappy, especially with the terrible customer service they had as I have sent quite a few emails explaining my situation and they just don't care and they say they cannot do nothing and that I cannot cancel. Is this for real? Below I explain all the reasons why I am so disappointed: 1-The hot water has not been working on the showers at the club that is nearest to where I live and which is Cottons Centre at London Bridge and the one I frequent the most for being closer. This is the main but not only reason that makes me want to cancel the membership I have with them as it has been more than 2 months!!!!!! at Fitness First Cottons Centre club (London Bridge) and still nothing has been done about it and this is just unbelievable. Staff won't tell you how long it will take to get fixed and I just feel like being ripped off because I am paying money and I have the feeling that nothing works well and even the hairdryers many times won't work. 2-The gyms are always very cold, no matter where you go inside of the gym including the changing rooms is always super cold. I have mentioned this to the staff and they said that they will increase the temperature but nothing seems to change and it is not pleasant to exercise in those conditions with your muscles cold and especially in this very cold city. 3-Music is super loud, I understand that most of the people get motivated by rhythmic music to work but the level at which you have the music at your clubs is quite unpleasant. 4-The sauna and especially the steam room is always super hot, which makes it impossible to remain there inside and as soon as you go in you just want to get out. As well, I have shared this with the staff but nothing is ever done. 5-Many times I would come to the clubs wanting to use the steam room and it is out of service and it always takes at least a week and many times two to get fixed with staff not being too concerned about it. 6-The clubs are super crowded and they just keep signing up people which again doesn't make it really pleasant to stay or even to go to the gym and if anyone is dissatisfied they won't even allow them to leave like they are doing with me!!!! which feels like a terrible customer service experience and a completely rip off!!!

Fantastic experience: Everything about the gym is good except that it gets crowded between 5-8 pm. Availing smaller head towels would be nice The gym need to have some policies for the members printed and placed on the walls around the gym for the following: Members need to put the equipment back in place for others to use them (especially dumbbells). Members should not hold 2 or sometimes 3 machines for their routine while others are waiting. Putting used towels in the designated bins. Everything else is great , the staff the location, the variety of machines and studios, the available Beverages and nutrition snacks.

Fantastic experience: Went for a day pass on a business travel. A bit pricey for a day pass, but I got my fix. I only used the free weight rack with bumper plates. Technogym adjustable rack and portable benches nearby for benching or other sitting exercises in the rack. They also have a weekly plan if you are staying longer. Nice swimming pool and remember a padlock for the locker. If you forget they will probably sell or lend you one.

Negative experience: Its is a club with a bunch of self esteemed Personal Trainers and a terrible manager and LIAR called Russel that supports another LIAR called Adam (PT) If you are an athlete and train hard and talk to no one and only do your thing in this gym you will somehow be falsely attacked and accused of doing something you did not do just to get your membership terminated. BUNCH OF LIARS BE CAREFUL. Ah there is another PT russian girl called Lisa! She doesn’t like fit women and she will be aggressive and trow bag of towels on you in the change room. Don’t recommend this environment at all. England for you
