Snap Fitness Elephant & Castle 24 Hour Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Nice place. I would really recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and the Bars & Bells class was legendary! The teacher led us with such care through a workout that was both challenging and invigorating - it gave me confidence & motivation and I’ll def be going back
Fantastic experience: Buen gym y fácil para poder ir a cualquier hora
Fantastic experience: Amazing!!! Every piece of equipment you would need, clean private cubicles, even GHD hair straighteners, which at this price and for 24/7 is a treat! Great if you just want to train and not face long queues or limited machinery.
Positive experience: Good gym
Negative experience: Super loud music when employers are in - They refuse to make it a bit quieter, I tried asking. Everyone has their earphones on, but still the bad music must be blasting. The gym is crowded between 8-9am and 5-8pm with not much space to do your own exercises. 80% men and 20% women at the most balanced days. Normally wouldn't mind, but some of the guys are quite aggressive and almost started a fight to use a specific machine. Avoid, if you can.
Negative experience: I really want to like this gym but it’s lacking aircon which is making working out here for more than 25 minutes impossible.
Hi Hayley. Thank you for taking the time to review the club. Sorry you found it a bit warm. We have recently had our air conditioning units serviced and we keep the main gym floor at 18 degrees. I understand that it doesn't always feel that temp when we are busier. I should mention that we don't always have the air conditioning on in our studio but instead it is set to come on for our classes and so I am wondering if maybe this was the problem during your visit? Feedback like this is very important for us and I will be taking steps to see what improvements can be made to the ambient temperature in the club. I hope that we might see you in the club again soon.
Negative experience: Usually I never write reviews but I’m not planning to letting this situation slide. Around March-April this year I had a regular session at snap fitness gym and I thought nothing could ruin it. I was about to put my dumbbells back on dumbbells rack where another man (rather old) was training with a personal trainer whose name was most likely John (he always wears blue T-shirt and a cap) but I’m not 100% sure of his name. As I was about to put my dumbbells back, I expected this man to take step back since that’s what everyone does when you want to put your stuff back as its normal gym etiquette. As I almost approached the rack he yelled at me saying that I “Ruined his exercise” to which I replied that I’m sorry and I didn’t mean to do it. Afterwards I got embarrassed in front of other members by a random old man who just happened to pay more money for his personal training hence his opinion is more important. Also got called ‘Di**head’ once I walked off. Personal trainer who was training him just stood at the side entire time staring at the floor and saying literally nothing. No one approached me afterwards and no one apologised in at least any shape or form. Seems like this kind of behaviour is reoccurring towards regular members hence I’m not going to sign up with snap ever again even if it will be the only gym in the entire country. Doors to shower rooms and showers are not working properly 30% of times too. If I could leave this gym 0 stars, I’d definitely do that.
Hi Ramiz, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am truly sorry to hear about the incident you encountered during your session at our gym. This type of behaviour is not something we accept or condone at Snap Fitness Elephant and Castle, and I apologise for the distress it caused you. The situation you described is completely unacceptable, and I assure you that we are taking steps to prevent such incidents in the future. I will personally speak with all of our trainers to ensure they are actively maintaining a respectful and supportive environment for all members. Additionally, I will be investigating the incident further to understand exactly what happened and to address the behaviour of both the trainer and the member involved. Regarding the facilities, I'm pleased to inform you that we have recently completed repairs on the doors and have overhauled our hot water system to ensure consistent functionality. We are committed to maintaining our gym to the highest standards for all of our members. Again, I deeply apologise for your negative experience. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and I hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Kevin Smith General Manager
Negative experience: i think this 24 hour gym has very friendly staff and the vibe is quite energetic, the equipment is cleaned daily hence I have used it for several years. BUT one thing I have noticed is some faulty equipment does not get repaired! It has been 2 months since this leg adductor (see photo) went down but the "maintenance date" keeps on postponing, giving gym-goers false hope. I hope this can be repaired asap
Negative experience: The showers are filthy today, we are expecting better. Please pay attention to cleaning. I’ll amend my review in the next couple weeks for an update.
Negative experience: Not enough words to describe my disappointment
Are you OK?
Negative experience: It's a shame as this gym has potential but the customer service has been the worst I have ever experienced. They clearly don't care about their clients. I travel for work and have used many gyms and the standard here is sub-par. There are people fighting in the gym making a scene without the staff intervening or kicking them out. The showers could do with better cleaning. The pilates teacher could not gain access to the equipment so the class was 20 minutes late. Just unprofessional. There are better gyms near by so I would unfortunately recommend you to avoid this one.
Positive experience: This gym is always buzzing probably because of its location but the changing rooms and showers are really clean for such a busy area. The location is convenient and the equipment is somewhat modern.
Fantastic experience: I was a member of Snap Elephant for over a year. For the first few months I was just using it as an open gym, just doing my own workouts etc. From that regard it's well equipped and has everything you need. Busy in peak times but had enough areas to use if waiting for a specific bit of kit, and members were happy to share the equipment if asked. Live locally so didn't use the showers but can attest to the washrooms being a bit grotty, but it's a low cost gym, not The Ritz. Where Snap Elephant really excelled, and where I spent the best part of the year properly enjoying it, was the classes. I mostly did HIIT, Spin and the Barbell options. Luigi, Gessica and Tanya really put a personal touch on their classes, making everyone feel comfortable - whether just starting out or one of the regulars. They took the time to get to know you, something that bigger gyms could really learn from. It had a lovely family feel and I was sad to move on, only doing so to be more closely situated to my office. Wishing them all the best. Give those guys a raise!
Fantastic experience:
Positive experience: I enjoy going to Snap because it's nearby and there's always plenty of equipment to use, but there is definitely room for improvement. The equipment and toilets need cleaning more frequently. Often the female toilets are filthy and out of loo roll. Same with the towel and wipes to use when done with equipment, there's often no wipes or paper towel about, even when the gym is very quiet. A lot of the lockers are faulty too and you can't attach your padlock to them. Overall, it has the potential to be an amazing gym especially considering the location of it - if the cleanliness was more of a focus it'd be a better experience for me.
Hi Louise, thanks for your feedback! It's something that we as owners value so highly. We completely agree with your points, and we feel the exact same way. It's with this in mind that we have taken steps to change this, so that the club doesn't go down the wrong direction. To address these issues, we have made changes to the management of the club, and from this Thursday we will have a new General Club Manager On top of this, myself and our regional manager, who oversees 5 of my clubs will be preset more regularly over the next few weeks, to make sure that standards we have set are upheld - and everyone has the BEST training experience possible We hope that you can come back to this review in two weeks and update your review to 5 stars all the best, Management
Fantastic experience: I joined Snap Fitness earlier this year in order to get back into shape and combat a back problem which I have had for a few years now and to which I have not had anymore problems with after concentrating on workouts to strengthen my back. The size of the gym is ideal, as it's not too big and from what I have seen of the gym goers there, the majority are serious about training, instead of posing like some gyms I have been to in the past. The staff are cool (Tunde especially) and I thoroughly recommend this gym to anyone who would like to improve their health and fitness.
Fantastic experience: The staff are great. The gm Tunde super motivational
Fantastic experience: Hygienic, professional staff, and great equipment. No complaints from me.

Fantastic experience: Snap Fitness, nestled in the heart of Elephant and Castle, has truly left an indelible mark on my fitness journey. From the moment I stepped through their doors, I was greeted with warmth and a sense of belonging that is often hard to find in the fitness world. What sets Snap Fitness apart, first and foremost, is its exceptional staff. The gym's team is not just knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly friendly. They are always ready to assist, answer questions, and offer guidance, making every visit a pleasure. Their dedication to creating a positive and supportive environment is truly commendable. One of the standout features of Snap Fitness is the impeccable tidiness maintained throughout the gym. Cleanliness and hygiene are top priorities, which significantly enhances the overall experience. It's refreshing to walk into a gym where you can focus on your workout without any distractions. I wholeheartedly recommend Snap Fitness to anyone in the Elephant and Castle area or beyond. Whether you're a seasoned fitness enthusiast or just starting your fitness journey, you'll find a welcoming community here. The gym's well-maintained equipment and friendly atmosphere make it an excellent place to achieve your fitness goals. In summary, Snap Fitness has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's not just a gym; it's a supportive community that fosters growth and wellness.

Fantastic experience: Great facility! Looking forward to my next session!
Fantastic experience: Excellence customer service! The manager was very helpful when I had a issue with my access card.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and convenient gym I’ve going here for about 2/3months and I enjoy it every time I came. Staffs are friendly and helpful and the price is reasonable toowould recommend to everyone who lives around this area Also shout out to my PT Tunde - I’ve had experiences with PT before but they have never been as helpful. I’ve seen changes in the past few months without having to drastically change my lifestyle and it was amazing thank youuu xx
Fantastic experience: I came to snap fitness with my friend for the first time. I had a great time. The environment was clean and spacious. Tunde was super helpful and I will definitely be back again.
Fantastic experience: I love training here and Tunde is always happy to help when I need him.
Fantastic experience: Lovely clubs and a great manager!
Positive experience: Cardio equipment is old and worn but can still carry out their primary function. In built treadmill fans are virtually all broken, which is particularly frustrating given the gym is not as cool is it should be (the air conditioning can’t be in good working order). Would expect newer / fresher equipment for the price point given how small the gym is. The water bottle refill station has a sensor tap which is a bit odd and you have wave your hand around to get it work (painfully slow process). Positively, the staff are polite and happy to help, additionally the other gym goers all seem of good character. Overall, not great but okay and conveniently close for me.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate the cardio equipment is not brand new however as you say it does carry out the functions. We are looking into the getting fans fixed as we know how frustrating this is! The water refill station was fitted with hygiene in mind and our members love it! Sometimes it can be tricky but you simply hold your finger next to the sensor and you’ll have running water. Please let a member of staff know if you need any assistance and they’ll be happy to help.
Positive experience: Nice convenient gym. But please have the AC units on the main floor serviced as they are not blowing out cool air (even when set to coldest temp). Btw the AC unit in the class room works perfectly
Hi Aaron, We are sorry that the AC is frustrating for you. We are in contact with engineers to have this reviewed asap, as we are aware it is not working how it should be - despite the regular services.
Fantastic experience: Great gym nice atmosphere
Negative experience: Awful tried to join online and was denied several times and received a mandate email saying I will be notified in 3 working days etc. Then I was contacted and told I 'entered card wrong' when it was literally scanned. Weird, probably because I decided not to tell them my gender!
Fantastic experience: This place is really clean!! I like make part of this gym <3
Fantastic experience: Amazing dance fit class with Pauline she is an amazing dance instructor with a great sense of humour and she never fails to make the choreographies as fun as they can get. This class is very beginner friendly but pushes you to have fun and enjoy your time !!
Positive experience: This gym room is amazing! The staff here is friendly, and the equipment is great. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a local gym room!
Fantastic experience: Fully equipped gym and nice staff, would recommend. I went twice during my short stay in London
Fantastic experience: This is one of the smaller snapfitness locations but they have done a great job laying out and picking all the right equipment. I love how this gym has a safety bar and other equipment some snapfitness locations don’t have. However I have noticed equipment being broken for weeks and sometimes staff are no where to be found. All around great gym and no serious complaints
Negative experience: Charged twice in the space of 6 days !
Positive experience: Plenty of equipment - free weights, functional area, weight machines, rowing machine, several treadmills (incl. a curved non-electric one) 9, bikes, 3 elliptical crosstrainers, etc. However some of it isn't well maintained - for example, the foot straps of the rowing machine are pretty much unusable. There's only one tiny changing room but a few toilets and 3 shower rooms one can use. The lockers are pretty small and lota of the doors were broken or loose. Otherwise it's great value for money (or credits if you're not using ClassPass), it just needs more care. Bear in mind that the gym isn't always manned so if you're booking through ClassPass you need to have that in mind - on weekends they only have someone until 3pm, weekdays 8pm.
Fantastic experience: Staff friendly and equipment excellent staff very helpful excellent gym
Fantastic experience: Snap Fitness Elephant & Castle is a fantastic gym and I’ve been a very happy member since November 2022. Best thing for me is the friendly but motivated atmosphere as regulars tend to be committed gym goers trying their best to improve. They have a good range of equipment and the gym is very convenient as it is open 24hrs. Its well located for my home and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Nice little gym, friendly staff and Jamal runs a great Wednesday eve Boxfit class.
Positive experience: Good. Well equipped and clean.
Fantastic experience: Accessible 24/7 and good equipment
Negative experience: I was member of this gym due to locates my next door. But it’s very tiny and every time I been there felt suffocated. Definitely lack of oxygen there. I don’t recommend this place to other.
Hello, Sorry you feel that way. Most of our members love the size of our gym, as it accommodates for two variants of almost every machine - including a large functional area with plenty of space for stretching or HIIT. Our air conditioning is also regularly serviced every 6 months, and was done so again last week.
Negative experience: Broken Equipment, Only 1 cable machine in the gym - has been broken for weeks ...Senior Management slow to respond and fix it. Could be a lot better if they listened to constructive feedback.
Thanks Dale !
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym to anyone living in the Kennington and Elephant and Castle area. It's open 24 hours a day which is so so convenient. Love knowing that I can go to the gym anytime I feel like and have a good work out whether it's early morning later afternoon or just after midnight. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a good balance of free weights and resistance machines. The gym is always clean and tidy and smells fresh. It's also very well ventilated so even on the warmest summer days it's cool in the gym. I'm so happy I found this gym. It's only a few minutes walk from my place so now I have absolutely no excuse not to go and exercise.
Thank you Kelvin !
Positive experience: Like the class sessions space could be a lot bigger doe
Negative experience: I DO NOT RECOMMEND Really expensive for how small it is you can find better quality and valued gyms around the area! Reply to owner: I will not disclose my information & THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW SAVE YOUR MONEY & AVOID!!!
Hi there, We can’t seem to find you on our membership database? Here at Snap Fitness, we offer a clean, tidy space with one of the biggest ranges of equipment in the area. Including a Hack Squat, Booty Builder, Lying leg curl, and huge variety of fitness classes. All this in a gym that is much quieter than our competitors as we are open 24hrs, leaving your training limitless. Please feel free to come and visit and leave us a honest review afterwards.
Positive experience: It looks nice clean,polite staff but very limited classes. It would be great if you had classes between 1000 and 1700
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You may not have seen that we do in fact run mid-day HIIT classes which are well worth a try!
Fantastic experience: Brilliantly cheap gym. Opening hours are great especially if you want an early start!! Or even a late session
Thank you Helen!
Positive experience: Good ! Quiet in the mornings so no hassle .
Fantastic experience: The best gym around. All the equipment is really new and well maintained, the atmosphere is good and all the staff are really friendly and amazing. This is the only gym where I have been able to consistently keep going without giving up. The classes are really good and Tanya is a great trainer and motivator. Luigi's and Ben's classes are also really good- but tough which is what you need! I have felt myself get stronger, whereas at other gyms you waste more time waiting for equipment and get bored easier. You can also use your pass at every Snap in the country which is a great perk.
Thank you Dani! Appreciate the review
Positive experience: If looking for pay as you go when visiting London this is definitely a cheaper option- but ask when a staff member is going to be there otherwise you can't use the gym for short term. Clean with friendly staff
Fantastic experience: It's never too busy during the evenings and the classes are great!
Fantastic experience: I tried a few gyms during my time living in London but Snap Fitness Elephant & Castle was hands down my favorite. From the first day when I was given a guided tour I felt welcome. Of course you get the usual tour at other gyms but then the staff move on to the next potential customer, not here, every time I went in I was greeted at the door and the staff were genuinely interested in how you were getting on and really made you feel you were part of a fitness community, which of course helps motivate you to keep going. The equipment is all in great condition and they have ample room so it never felt too crowded and I never had any issues waiting for equipment. The local gym regulars are also friendly and it was good to see familiar faces when I went in and it made you feel like you're not on your own. As well as this the gym offers a range of classes like HIT, cardio, spinning box fit, yoga, you name it they have it. If you're looking for somewhere you can work on your fitness goals in a friendly welcoming atmosphere this is the place
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Mark has been very wonderful and kind. It’s a shame he can’t be at snap fitness more often in the evening to help out as he has helped me with equipments and techniques. Love this gym
Positive experience: Been with the gym for over 3 years now. Facilities are always clean and they've taken great measures to ensure COVID compliance. The place is never too crowded and the 24h access definitely is a plus. The equipment is rather new and well maintained - I can't recall a machine being broken for more than a day or so before it gets fixed. The place is lacking a seated row machine. The current chest fly machine is rather uncomfortable. Same would apply for the decline bench.
Fantastic experience: Very clean, all good Technogym equipment, not too busy/loud
Fantastic experience: Lovely local gym, glad I joined as friendly staff & was cleaner and better kept than some bigger brand gyms I’ve been too, nice selection of new equipment & rarely had to que for machines
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and trainers. This gym has helped with my sports specific training allowing me to reach my top level of performance.
Thank you for leaving us such a nice review!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and place,very clean and tidy especially a great thanks to Suzette for all ways smiling and helping when needed. Keep up the great work guys
Fantastic experience: The club has an extremely warm atmosphere and the fellow members are amazing. Managers and PTs are very friendly and approachable, always willing to offer help. With the equipment provided and the surprising amount of space, definitely the best gym in the area!
Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Snap Fitness for around two years and have had nothing but positive experiences at the gym. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and have gone out of their way to create a welcoming gym space. The facilities are excellent and the equipment is regularly updated, all for a great price.
Fantastic experience: Good gym
Fantastic experience: Great gym with good equipment and not too busy even in peak times. Staff is nice and helpful. Brilliant value!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Class gym, great equipment, and 24 hour !!! Can't rate it highly enough
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Compact well equipped and friendly gym. I felt the gym staff responded well to covid constraints ensuring everything is cleaned and with a focus on safety. They keep members well informed too. Thank you Snap team
Hi Brian, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. Providing a clean and friendly environment is one of our highest priorities as well as clear and timely communication. We look forward to seeing you during your next session! Snap Fitness Management
Fantastic experience: Really great gym. Well-kept equipment, not too busy, friendly staff. Always kept clean. Value for money also. Love that it is open 24/7. Have really loved having my workouts there. Sorry to be leaving the area and having to stop my membership.
