Fitness4Less Southwark

Fantastic experience: This is a really great gym - all the equipment you want. Not cluttered or ever busy. I was there a lot and never had to wait It’s surprising their prices are as low as they are I mean a water fountain would be a great improvement but otherwise it’s fantastic

Fantastic experience: I'm visiting for a few days...Very nice staff and there is good equipment to work all body parts. The equipment is a bit dated (which didn't bother me) but it's very clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.

Negative experience: I’ve must’ve visited over 50 gyms, some of them in god forsaken parts of the world - this is one of the worst. Almost all of the equipment is in dire need of maintenance. Some of it straight up just doesn’t work. You cant see what height/weight is on the cable machines because of how worn it is, and the height adjustment mechanisms themselves are all half broken. The showers are cold and automatically turn off after literally 3 seconds… There is NO water tap. The only reason it gets 2 stars and not 1 is because it’s one of the few gyms in the area to have a boxing section, and it doesn’t seem to get very busy before work. But seriously, for £35 a month it’s disgusting how poor this place is. Go to The Gym or Puregym nearby instead. Gutted I wasted my money on this place.

Fantastic experience: Have been going here for years. No, it is not a high-end fancy gym. Some of the equipment is old. But the range is excellent. They've finally put some new machines in too, which is great to see. For the money, I'm not sure it could be better other than a water dispenser.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym atmosphere.friendly people may equipment.no cue jump in.

Fantastic experience: Muy profesional el hombre que me registró . Es un lugar Enorme y agradable de entrenar

Fantastic experience: Good experience

Negative experience: Poor customer orientation from my personal experience. I had originally singed up for a "mini membership" in Cambridge Heath for 35,- GBP. Out of a personal emergency I had to change my stay and was since located more near to Southwark. I entered the Gym at ~21:15 (45 min before close) and was not aware that the membership is restricted to a specific branch only. Not that I would make this mistake twice but that the staff refused to let me train just one time and make an exception (my vacation ends the next day so I cant go neither tomorrow in Cambridge Heath). From my perspective I would say an unsatisfied customer and feedback causes more potential damage then to just let a guy workout for 45 min in another gym of the same chain he paid for... not that it was overcrowded neither. I call that nothing short but poor customer service. PS: Nothing like that can be said about the staff in Cambridge Heath, they were very supportive and friendly!!

Positive experience: Gym is ok overall but far from great. Main plus of this gym is its size and free weight section which is mostly sufficient. The problems are numerous though, some of the equipment looks ancient, could well be 30+ years old, then there is no water dispenser in the whole gym, which seems mind-boggling to me, they do not have enough weight plates which can make lifting heavy a chore, their homepage has incorrect opening times for the period between Christmas and nye, gym etiquette is not enforced by any of the trainers so most people do not care about bringing weights back, veryyy slow wifi and the men's changing rooms has basically no mirrors except at the entrance.

Positive experience: Decent gym with adequate equipment, one big minus would be lack of water fountain. For 35 pounds in Central is still probably the best value for money.

Negative experience: Avoid - will not stop contacting despite numerous requests to stop

Positive experience: It gets the job done, but it’s a very dirty and relatively poorly equipped gym with worn out machines and weights.

Fantastic experience: Visited Gym when I traveled to London. I exercise regularly and I have to say that it is a great gym, very spacious, clean, and great equipment. Definitely recommended. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Epic gym. Never busy. Good equipment. Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Спокойное место для индивидуальных тренировок, есть все нужные тренажеры и пространство между ними.

Fantastic experience: Good equipment. Clean Not too busy. Staff are really polite and professional.

Fantastic experience: No-nonsense gym with plenty of equipment and personal space. Minimal mirrors seem to deter the tiktokers and instagrammers, which is also commendable.

Positive experience: Full Review tbc: When on hired class - event not linked with gym Note - there is no water fountain. So bring lots of water! Staff friendly and easy going which is a plus. You can find the gym around the corner (not on a corner) underneath / past the bridge

Fantastic experience: As a regular member I would definitely recommend this gym! 5 stars….great gym. Staff friendly and accessible, willing to give tips and advice when asked. Welcoming atmosphere. I have never felt intimidated as a woman, even in the weight area. Always see the cleaner working really hard to keep equipment/changing rooms clean and tidy, there is also plenty of spray and tissue to wipe equipment if required.

Positive experience: Really pleased with the gym in all respects bar one - the smell in the mens showers is almost unbearable and the showers themselves are pretty poor. If they could sort out the smell it would be 5 stars and if they upgraded the showers id be recommending to everyone I work with...

Positive experience: Good gym, however there are some negatives, therefore I can’t give it 5 stars. 4 stars is quite generous. 1. One of the female toilets is out of use. There’s only two toilets and it would be nice if it was fixed sooner rather then later. 2. Not enough classes in the morning. 3. No water fountain. If you don’t bring enough water in your water with you, you have to buy water in a single PLASTIC bottle either from the gym or from the one of the local supermarkets. Not very environmentally friendly.

Negative experience: Cardio equipment is never cleaned as it was, when the gym opened in 2011...sweat..sweat all over. Some members use powder for their workout and couldnot be bored to wiped equipment after use.

Positive experience: Wonderful gym, especially for the fact that there is none there! I go off peak and I see 3 or 4 people. Just one little negative: today no soap in the toilets.

Fantastic experience: It's a budget gym but has everything i need.

Fantastic experience: Great place, so big and open. Feel very comfortable here

Fantastic experience: Recently joined and am so impressed by the facilities, cleanliness, availability of machines and relaxed and calm atmosphere here. Do not feel intimidated by others training as plenty of space and has a genuinely friendly feel.

Fantastic experience: Cool gym! Really clean and airy with loads of space! Hidden gem in a pretty central area!

Positive experience: Great bare bones gym in a beautiful converted train trestle. Really good value for money too, especially if you sign on with one of the many promotional rates throughout the year. It's never so busy you can't find a spot and the space and equipment are plentiful. It's always clean and well ventilated and the changing rooms are well kept. Only drawback is no pool/sauna facilities but perfect for a quick lift-n-dash.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym

Fantastic experience: The team is very friendly. Good place for workout. Plenty of space to exercise,even in the morning rush.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Very professional, clean, lots of space and equipment, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with great staff who really motivate and support.

Fantastic experience: For the price and range of equipment one cannot complain.

Fantastic experience: Great price for range of equipment and central London location

Fantastic experience: Great space for working out, lots of cardio and resistance machines, equipment for functional training, very well organised and amazing staff. Very good prices!

Fantastic experience: Great place, I am a member from 2012 and love the place, very spacious, great equipment, nice staff, no fuss, attitude free

Fantastic experience: Well equipped and spacious

Fantastic experience: Great price for London, great size for London, friendly staff (quite rare for London). A great gym all round.

Fantastic experience: Cheap and cheerful. Some fantastic classes and trainers on offer

Fantastic experience: Perfect

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the gym for over a year and it has been fantastic. The gym facilities, shower and changing spaces are brilliant, never too crowded and of a great standard. Classes and instructors make workouts fun and accessible. Staff very helpful and in particular Simon Gibbs, who has been excellent when dealing with membership and various other queries! Highly recommend!

Negative experience: Pro: nice open space and have a variety of activities. clean. Con: No drinking water. you need to bring water with you for your workout which is inconvenient. - Weights machines are old and definitely needs to be replaced. - Weights dumbbells are different brands and colours also the Weights dumbbells holder has no numbers to indicate where you have to place the weight back so you will see loads of weights on the floor or 10kg next to 35kg - Weights bars have many wear and tear. The rubber for most of them are gone.

Fantastic experience: Been at Fitness4Less Southwark for 6 months and I’m pleased with the membership. Friendly staff and gym goers, enough equipment and weights, spacious, good selection of classes, nice/clean interior, clean showers. Only ever ‘packed’ in the mornings between about 7 and 9 am.

Fantastic experience: Very impressive gym with lots of equipment.

Positive experience: The space is good and there’s a decent breadth of equipment. Biggest issue are the opening hours which are quite restricted for a central London gym (e.g. 6pm on weekends...)

Negative experience: Worst customer service ever! As if they don’t even want your business. Awful

Fantastic experience: Brilliant facilities and amazing staff. Very highly recommended, and an amazing price too!

Positive experience: This is a really good gym. Great location, well maintained, good value and not too busy outside of the lunch-time. The only thing that lets it down are the showers are not adjustable for temperature, that wouldn't be so bad if they were not so scalding hot! a problem exacerbated in warm weather.

Negative experience: I found this gym thanks to friend. It is very close to Southwark, but still easy walkable distance from Waterloo East. POSITIVE: Gym is spacious plenty of equipment, not necessary the newest stuff. Changing rooms spacious, clean showers. There is is number of different classes run through the day and you there is large numbers of personal trainers to pick from. NEGATIVE: Things are not fixed fast. During summer a shower cubicle was broken for more then 8 weeks. Now that same shower is broken again. First the watter was running non-stop for a week till they shut it down, so not environmentaly friendly. Now because of that another 3 showers are blocked so we have use of only 4 or 5 cubicles. One of the pully machines in room with free weights is broken for 2 weeks. Is it really so difficult to have it fixed? Stuff generally do not care about you unless you are one of the PT clients. You do hardly get "Good morning" or " See you next time" when coming or leaving gym. To put a cherry on the top there is one of the personal that is regularly playing guitar in the gym like there is nothing else do and no customers to look after. I guess I will need to start looking for new gym because this one is just going from bad to worst

Fantastic experience: Good gym, reasonable price

Fantastic experience: Very nice clean gym eith modern and comfortable equipment. with studios for classes, different variety of equipment, professional trainers and coach to always assist you. Every day from morning to evening there are several classes from yoga to spin revolution to weights work out. Nice changing areas with lockers and shower facilities. Glad I joined as I use it very regularly as it's close to my work place in Southwark.

Fantastic experience: For someone like me, who was once described as the most anti-fitness person ever, this gym changed my life (yeah it sounds cheesy but true lol). I've been going there for a year now pretty much every day. First I did that because it was conveniently a couple of minutes from work so I had no excuse not to go. If I chose a gym near my home I would have never gone for sure. What do I love about this gym? I love the architecture, I love the layout, I love the classes and I love the different tools and machines (apart from the kettlebells. Aluminium/metal handle instead of cast iron?! Seriously?! Whose 'brilliant' idea was that?! ) . But most importantly I love the people. The 'gymrats' are as part of it as are the Trainers. There is a living, breathing community with a bunch of great people. Good atmosphere, great banter and a lot of sweat. It doesn't matter, if you're a man or a woman, big or small, strong or weak. Nobody cares while they all make you feel welcome. What else would you want from a gym? If I ever changed my job, I'd make sure to look for work in the area so I could keep on going to this gym.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed going to this gym at this location. Classes and staff were the most favorite part. The price and offer value is amazing. If not moving to another location I would be still going there. Really recommend this place! Thank you!

Positive experience: Been going here for 3 years. It's a no fuss gym. Equipment a bit tired and sometimes a bit dirty. Nice lay out though.

Fantastic experience: Super salle à Londres. Grande avec de quoi faire !!!

Positive experience: Big, clean and well-equiped. Good distribution of the areas. However, there is no wifi connection and not even network signal, which makes it difficult for people who might need to answer important or urgent work phone calls. I have also noticed something strange: lockers are usually taken and locked while there are not many people working out, wondering if there are customers who will just "reserve" their lockers or use them as storage.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with quality equipment.

Negative experience: Slow WiFi, no data...no Spotify

Positive experience: I love it because i go in it almost everyday at the morning and there are no much people........................

Fantastic experience: I love this place. I've been coming here for years, since it first opened. It's a large gym, with a huge variety of equipment and weights. Maybe nine separate areas depending on what you're wanting to do. Plus a large studio room for classes. It's a marked constrast from the typical high-end gyms which you pay much more for. Where you get the whole swimming / sauna experience, fresh towels etc. But their actual gyms are never nearly as good as this one is. Over the years they keep making gradual improvements in the types of equipment and layout, until it's now in an optimum state for all tastes. It's cheap, very large, laid back, friendly. It's got a lot of choices, accommodating almost any kind of exercise. Except swimming. There's no water dispenser, so bring your own.

Positive experience: Exactly what it says on the tin. Fitness classes and well equipped gym with minimal cost. Great value

Positive experience: Good balance of all needs

Positive experience: Solid gym but no drinking water and some old machines (bikes, mainly) which need updating along with the treadmills which were done recently

Fantastic experience: Helpful instructors and comprehensive class schedule

Fantastic experience: Great gym for very cheap price

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym staff very Cooperative

Fantastic experience: Great spacious gym with lots of equipment. Friendly atmosphere with awesome staff giving awesome classes. And so cheap for a gym!

Positive experience: Nice little gym.

Positive experience: Cheap and friendly gym with all the weights you need

Fantastic experience: This gym is great and cheap. I have had memberships of better gym, pure gym, and the gym all in the local area. I have also tried Bannatynes and Virgin Active clubs elsewhere. For the money, this gym is spacious, the equipment is decent, there are plenty of machines and the trainers are great. I especially love Legs, Bums and Tums on Tuesday and Wednesday. In fact the trainers for those are so good I actually look forward to the next one each time, I wish they could have another 2 at the weekend. Because the gym is cheap, the people are more down to earth and the staff working there are polite. Nadia is especially really friendly. Better gym's corporate membership is 50 a month, 30 more than this, and the trainers aren't as good and you have to queue to go in when booking for a class. TheGym have those annoying caged gates that are a nightmare to open if your card stops working. Virgin and Bannatyne have those annoying touch button lockers that always go faulty. PureGym is alright but more expensive. Only downsides, and they are easily overcome: No water in the training area, you need to go to the bathrooms to refill bottles. And the bottles need to be 500ml or less to get into the sink. Only 2 ladies loos. No towels for hire/available. No wifi. Some of the more popular classes get full really quickly, and they don't really do pilates here (which is a shame because I would love a pilates class) Thank you fitness4less for helping my life without breaking the bank!!!!

Positive experience: Very nice gym! Recommend.

Negative experience: The music is awful and they put ads wich are really offputting when exercising.Everybody wears headphones so I dont get why they have to blast such awful music.

Positive experience: Good, cheap gym but very busy at peak times

Fantastic experience: Body Blitz is the way!!

Positive experience: I like this gym, which has good open space. I myself probably going to join from next month

Fantastic experience: nice club

Positive experience: Good gym especially for the price! However I don't really feel safe squatting heavy in there as the two squat 'racks' are terrible. You need to get at least one proper squat rack (cage style).

Positive experience: Good value for money. No men's showers for now so need to go back to the office all sweaty and have the shower in there

Positive experience: Great value for money gym. Plenty of membership options. Has everything you need including plenty of cardio machines and a sizeable room for free weight training. Separate rooms for classes. Sometimes gets a bit crowded. Staff are friendly ans helpful. The look and feel of the place is great, brick walls and high ceilings. Some equipment are out of order from time to time, and the dumbbells are always a mess.

Positive experience: Big, full of activities, lockers, tons of different Machinas. Cons: only 2 toilets and bad recirculation air system

Positive experience: Cheap, cheerful, I wish there was water and WiFi

Negative experience: How can a gym like Fitness4less have no any contact number, not good for business I think.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym for the price.

Fantastic experience: Large variety of classes, take Yoga and Pilates classes here, instructors are great and it's all included in the gym fee.

Fantastic experience: Love this place, friendly, clean and cheap!!

Fantastic experience: Can’t fault this place. Loads of room, plenty of equipment (including machines and free weights) and clean facilities. Love it.

Positive experience: No frills, but good value for money. Equipment is good and regularly updated, gym is clean and staff are freindly. Very busy during first half of week, but quiet Thursday to Sunday.

Fantastic experience: Great gym only facility with a variety of equipment at a great price.

Fantastic experience: The steel... The STEEL!

Positive experience: Great price, reasonable equipment (including Olympic weightlifting area), free classes, but quite crowded during peak hours. *Edit* Additional star for the new equipment and moving the stupid Smith machine out of the lifting area!

Fantastic experience: Cheap and cheerful. Friendly stuff and good selection of equipment. Clean showers.

Fantastic experience: Cheapest place around with Olympic lifting platforms and bumpers

Positive experience: Great gym.

Positive experience: Have worked out here for a couple of years and other than a few issues with the showers always found it an easy place to workout compared to some other gyms

Fantastic experience: Best gym around. Super cheap and clean.

Fantastic experience: The best value for money, the trainers are very enthusiastic and attentive at the classless. Great atmosphere during the classes

Positive experience: Great value and clean. Never crowded on the times I go (2-5 pm). Friendly staff. Minus one star for lack of water fountain or wifi.
