Fantastic experience: VO2 is an amazing gym. I joined in November 2022 and I've been really impressed with the quality of the equipment, the cleanliness of the gym and friendliness and knowledge of the staff. They also have loads of classes throughout the week with great instructors that will keep you motivated towards your fitness goal. The changing rooms are also very well fitted and maintained with sufficient lockers, showers and mirrors. I've been to most of the gyms in the local Palmers Green area and VO2 stands clear of them all as the best gym experience. I would highly recommend joining and wish I joined earlier myself. Lewis

Positive experience: Average gym.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, equipment and facilities

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym

Negative experience: Unhelpful reception stuff, unprofessional and very RUDE providing wrong an inaccurate information. Been with the gym for one year and only finding out information about “apparent”contract within one month after I have left, which was discussed with a staff member when I signed up with the gym. Original deal was that my membership was not under any contract and could be cancelled at anytime. Today I have been called saying I own the gym money for the last month as I have apparently not cancelled my (no existing) contract. Additional to that this I found this gym being very inconsiderate to the members as the music is blasting, overpowering the loudest volume on your headphones. I have also not appreciated a microwave in the middle of the gym space where there was a staff room available, smell of food was not motivating in the middle of the workout.

Fantastic experience: What a great Gym!! Refurbished to a very high standard throughout. It’s very clean and they have sprays everywhere to help during these crazy times. The new equipment is state of the art and the management were very helpful showing me how to use all the options on the running machine (love the sleigh pulling option). It feels a lot bigger and more spacious and has a really nice atmosphere. Caters for all levels of gym goers.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant atmosphere everyone is really lovely, and its very clean, all the equipment is

Fantastic experience: Visited V02 for the first time and have to say the set up is amazing. The equipment is fantastic and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place.

Fantastic experience: Place looks great since all the renovation work took place. Staff friendly and helpful. Definitely will be going back.

Fantastic experience: Alexi’s “Deep stretch and mobility” Zoom class over the pandemic had been a total revelation for my body. Can’t rate her and her classes. highly enough. Super energy and an excellent eye for detail, even on the Zoom class. Totally recommended.

Fantastic experience: Huge array of professional equipment..great staff and trainers... awesome changing and restroom/shower facilities.

Fantastic experience: Walking into this gym is like walking through a fitness portal that really transports you away from the Palmers Green high road and plunges you into the perfect training environment. Once you're inside, the equipment, the staff, the vibe are spot on! Just what you need to get in the zone and have a serious workout. I've been exploring various styles of training and have found everything that I've ever needed here. Knowing that we've got the best and newest equipment here means that there's just no excuses to skip that last set. The equipment is enough even during peak hours. Would strongly recommend that you check it out.

Fantastic experience: The equipment is absolutely top quality, especially the cardio machines. I started training there to bulk up but actually enjoy going on the treadmill for the first time in my life and feel fitter than ever.

Fantastic experience: Have been training here for a while now. The equipment is quite high end for the price and varied. The owners and pt's are willing to spend 10 - 15 mins of their time giving advise at their discretion. (Free of charge) Which is a change from most gyms. Staff and plp in the gym are friendly and like to keep the gym clean and tidy. Monthly membership comes with classes at no extra cost. Although I have not been to the classes it is quite cheap for what you get. Definitely a change in comparison to big well known gyms.

Fantastic experience: Loved every moment when training at this newly refurbished health & fitness gym. With it's top of the market machines/weights and friendly staff members, this gym really caters to my health and fitness requirements. I would highly recommend this place for casual gym goers to regular class enthusiast.

Fantastic experience: Gym is spacious, clean, very well equipped. Crew is professional and very helpful. Also in response to pandemic, the way thing were organised (cleaning, booking, limits etc) is 10/10 Definitely the best gym in the neighbourhood

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with a friendly and professional team. Great range of equipment and classes. The gym is clean, you must book a session, and cleaning spray is provided on entry. The gym should have never been closed and is a massive part of our community. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team always helping in every way possible, and now some of the best equipment available all in my high street.

Fantastic experience: Quality, clean, and fully equipped!

Fantastic experience: Vo2 London has everything you would need to achieve any goal you require in fitness. The equipment is top of the range and kept in good order, with hygiene top priority. The staff are brilliant and have massive amounts of knowledge to help anyone with any particular fitness requirement. More than your normal gym, Vo2 offers great classes ranging from boxercise, bum and abs, yoga and even specifics like pole dancing classes. The vibe and atmosphere in a gym is important to me because it makes you feel comfortable, and for people that are nervous and anxious starting gym for the first time this can be a big issue. I found the atmosphere really calming and friendly. Its the best gym in the area by a mile and to be honest I prefer to most of the massive chains that are out there....especially for the price. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Such a nice gym, high quality equipment and the staff and PTs are soon helpful, i had such a nice experience back to the gyms

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Panny, Alexi and Abs have done a amazing job rejuvenating the gym. The team are great!

Fantastic experience: The best place.

Fantastic experience: Been to most gyms in the area, and since the VO2 management took over and revamped the place, I absolutely love it. Great place to train, and can mix weight training and cardio without too much interference from others

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym since the new transition and the quality of service is impeccable. The machines are also top of the range.

Fantastic experience: Clean gym. Cleaning products readily available. Reception staff are extremely welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love the classes here, so happy you guys are finally open. Great service love the new decor.

Fantastic experience: Brand new state of the art equipment. Full refurb all under new management. A quality place to train and do classes for people of all levels.

Fantastic experience: So far so good. Always clean, friendly staff, and not very crowded during peak hours. It is more expensive than what I would normally pay, but the cleanliness and the overall situation deserve it. I hope the new administration keeps the standards as high as they are now.

Fantastic experience: Since the refurb and change of owners this gym is AMAZING! Best in North London. Wide range of really cool classes.

Fantastic experience: Since the change of owners. Its been amazing. Best Equipment for miles around. Credit to the new management....Highly Recommend. Great Staff, Personnel and Customers. Good to see a lot of the rif rough are no longer here....

Fantastic experience: Going back to this gym as finally got some good honest and helpful owners Can’t wait to leave park view and and go back

Fantastic experience: Great staff, wonderful enviroment!

Positive experience: A mixed review really. Some decent equipment and reasonable-ish prices considering how expensive gym's can get. The downside is staff can be quite rude and blank you even if you say hi whilst passing. Cancelling was an issue as they wanted 3 months notice on top of the remainder of your membership so be careful. All in all I feel 3 out of 5 is fair.

Fantastic experience: This is perhaps one of the best Gyms around Palmers Green and even Southgate. It has many top end machinery and free weights, most of the staff are friendly and helpful. They also have a lot of fitness and martial arts classes.

Positive experience: I really like this place. A back to basics, old-school gym, where you come to work out rather than to show off your gym clothing. All equipment you need is there, it's never crowded, so you can focus on your work. Yes, a lot of patina, but it adds to the atmosphere, I wouldn't want it any other way. This is a gym where Arnie would want to work out. In fact, to the point where the iconic Arnie poster hanging in the toilet doesn't look tacky! Full marks. Just wish I had time to go more often.

Positive experience: Had a day pass here once wasn’t bad has everything you need. Please note parking is a nightmare even after 6:30 there is Ltd street parking.

Negative experience: just to let you know that is almost one year since you promise to give my money !!!!!! one start because they wont let me post without it!!!

Negative experience: Waiting for a refund 8 month of my last two month, more than a year to sign off this place due to I use to work Saturday and they only accept to sign off contract on Saturday. This management shouldn't be able to manage any direct debit or something similar.

Negative experience: It's impossible to cancel your membership! I have called them multiple times! I filled in a cancellation form and handed it at reception 5 months ago. I spoke to the receptionists face-to-face at least five times before I left the country and 4 months later I'm still charged! Better don't subscribe at all because you will never be able to cancel your membership! This is absolutely ridiculous! The worst experience I ever had!

Negative experience: Equipment: Lifting - Rubbish, to be perfectly blunt. Two squat racks which have too big increments, so finding your true rack height is very unlikely. The mats that the racks are placed on are made of tarmac and have therefore become "dug in" and uneven over time which leaves a very unstable platform to squat from. Speaking of platforms (Deadlift/Olympic lifting) there isn't one. The plates are not calibrated - they are made of rubber and have chipped over time so they do not weigh close to, for example, "20kg" which can lead to an instability when loading the weight on your back for a squat such as a "hip shift". The barbells are very cheap, they have no knurling, differ in diameter, and will whip under heavier loads. Cardio - no opinion, the discrepancy in cardio equipment against even the top manufacturers is non-existent i.e a cross-trainer is a cross-trainer even if it is made of Gold. Therefore, to say "this gym is good" because it has good cardio equipment is a blanket statement when there are plenty of other gyms as equally or more equipped if your training goals are endurance/weight loss oriented. THERE IS NO AIR-CONDITIONING AT THIS GYM (and before anyone says "oh but it's good to sweat" - cite me one paper in the peer-reviewed literature which supports this. It may be good to sweat if your specifically cutting water weight for a sport e.g. boxing but it does not benefit performance and likely reduces it). Owner(s): Mario originally had two gyms (one in Southgate and one in Palmers Green) He closed the Southgate one and sold it as a boxing gym with no notice given to staff or clients. When asked at the time, he lied, claiming that the gym was undergoing "renovations". I then had my membership moved to Palmers Green. Before studying abroad in Canada for four months, I asked to have my membership frozen yet payments were still taken from my account. Upon returning, I was told to write down my number where he would call me to transfer the money back - he did not call. Any issues with bank payments must be taken up with him but he is only at the gym on Saturdays at 6.00pm (and he is rarely present and this is conveniently an hour and a half before closing time). I can't speak on the aforementioned prejudiced/racist tendencies since I have not worked there. However, I have heard similar claims. In fairness to Mario's mother, she is very old and was born in a "different" generation. Furthermore, such is Mario's cheapness, he makes her work hours at the reception to avoid paying staff. Lastly, to run any successful business you have to have a passion for the that industry. I don't condone body-shaming, but Mario is severely overweight and likely clinically obese and this is reflective of his efforts in the equipment and running of this gym (HE ONLY WANTS AND CARES ABOUT YOUR MONEY). Staff: Very friendly. One staff member often stays late and tries to keep the equipment tidy. Another staff member, Panny, has a coaching background in Olympic lifting. He is actually fairly knowledgable when it comes to the scientific principles and systems of training, such as daily undulating, concurrent periodisation, conjugate etc. He's worth talking to. Conclusion: If your goal is to be an IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, or an IPF Powerlifter, or an IWF Weightlifter this isn't the gym for you. Again, not to body-shame, but the phrase "DO YOU EVEN LIFT?" is particularly applicable to most members who train at this gym. Which makes it so surprising to know that some are actually using steroids, evident by the occasional needle found in the changing rooms (another deterrent to joining btw). However, if you just want to be active for an hour, feel good about yourself, work up a sweat, go to the "classes", then fair enough. Not everyone shares my goals so this is why I gave two stars instead of one.

Negative experience: very bad!!! starting with reception! ridiculous !!!

Fantastic experience: New Gym looks Amazing well done...

Positive experience: MUSIC is uncomfortably loud, to the point I get headaches/nauseous from it. Poor staff that work there..it's unsafe at dangerous listening levels. They don't change the station so your exposed to a poor one genre station (only appeals to under 18 year olds). Even wearing earphones doesn't drown it out. I wish they changed the station to play older music pre 2015. HEAT It's so hot due in the weights area due to lack of air conditioners that it's hard to workout. Buy an air conditioner please.The weights room is always packed and has more sweaty people.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff with plenty free weights!

Positive experience: Cheap and cheerful, good value

Positive experience: Nice gym located on the high street that is quite competitive with the spawn of lots of gyms that have opened in the area. **Positives** -Location - if it only arranged some discount with local shops.. -Opening hours. Early. Late. Sundays. Perfect! Don’t change. -Price : they competed with pure gym. As long as they are competitive, I won’t go elsewhere. **Negatives** -Heat! So hot. One room has air con that's never on. The weights room doesn't have air con and needs a portable unit more than any equipment... Gym goers work up a sweat and staff don't realise as they are not working out. The place needs to be cooler so you walk into a room and say 'ahhh' instead of 'it smells of heat' -Music. Same station that never changes (KISS!). If I hear another Rihanna song I'll headbutt a 10kg plate. No rock music, not even an oldies radio station? The music is bad and repetitive enough to bother everyone under the age of 20 and it only caters for one genre. I hate KISS and the unfortunate urban foul mouthed music that's so bad, they censor most of the words to play it during the day. Not the kind of stuff you want to hear constantly. The playlist rotation is so limited on this station. Can you play something more generic?

Negative experience: PURE GYM IS BETTER

Fantastic experience: Nice gym the staff are great

Negative experience: Place is cramped full of equipment. Not very well organised. No symmetry in the lay-out at all. As the outer walls are not straight, it feels awkward working out in the space. It a good effort to challenge the two other gyms in the place as it is opened longer. Perhaps a good idea will be to get rid of some of the equipment and stop trying to please everyone. I don't know if you can do something about the smell of fried chicken coming into the gym. it does not say healthy. Short of finding another space within the area, as there is the demand for a more affordable gym, I'm certain you can tweak this and make it work. Good luck and all he best.

Negative experience: Not really sure why there are such good reviews for this gym. Not that much space for cardio or free weights as its such a small gym space. Fees per month are high for what you get. I turned up for a class and was told the teacher was on holiday - that is despite calling an hour before it started and a female receptionist told me yes it was ok to come in. Then another male member of staff told me to go through to the class. I told him exactly why I was there and he waved me on through. I waited for 5 minutes in the class space but no body showed up. After that I went back to reception and the same guy is like 'oh, the class is cancelled'. Would have been nice to have been told it before or even after I showed up. Moving to a different gym now.

Negative experience: The reviews below that this is a great gym are so ludicrous. The gym is small and reminds me like someones home gym where they have cleared space packed it with cheap machines and created a box room which they call a studio, totally unorganised. I've attended many spin classes in my time and I'm sorry to say the instructor hasn't got a clue, bless him. I was there for only one session and glad for this horrible experience to be over once I got to the safety of my car which was half way around the block Which is really a bit scary if I had to leave by myself. I've signed up to a gym in Friern Barnet and happier to pay extra for that bit of class.
