BH Live Active, Queen's Park: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Super friendly, warm and welcoming. Made a first timer feel very much at ease.
Thank you Peter for the positive feedback! We look forward to welcoming you to our centre again soon .
Negative experience: The building is amazing. Unfortunately, the gym is divided between the second floor, basement floor and different rooms, which is very annoying for training. The equipment is not bad, but is just one of each.
Hi Ricardo, thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. I can only apologise for any inconvenience, and hope we can see you again soon. - Queens Park
Fantastic experience: Great helpful staff. Never too busy in the early mornings. Clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend it for new starts as well as seasoned gym goers .
Thank you for your lovely feedback. See you again soon! - Queens Park
Positive experience: Cobwebs in the corners, machines often out of order, never any sugar free drinks, and now they charge people to park to use the gym. It's only not lower cos it's local to me so convenient
Good morning, thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. We do offer sugar free drinks here in centre, please speak to one of the team or check our vending machine for these. The car park is free of charge for customers to use during their visit, there is simply a validation tablet for our members to use when walking through reception. I will feed back your comments on the cleanliness back to our gym team, however we do operate a daily cleaning rota for the whole of the gyms which ensures all areas are cleaned throughout the day. Hope to see you again soon. - Queens Park
Fantastic experience: This is a great leisure centre. Lots of good classes with great teachers. I also really appreciate the friendly and helpful service from the staff on reception who really help make it a welcoming environment.
Thank you for leaving us such lovely feedback, Hannah. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! - Tom

Thanks for taking the time to leave some positive feedback! We hope to see you again soon! - Queens Park
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym if your child wanna start a gym early age.My son loves going to the gym,all bh live gym's.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Elena! See you again soon - Tom
Positive experience: Good gym with a decent selection of machines, weights and cardio equipment.
Positive experience: Today the gym is not the place it was a few years ago when there was a swimming pool. It is apparent that the gym is class-based while little is invested in exercise equipment. Some machines should be replaced with newer ones. The price for a pass is also too high for such conditions. Staff nice despite having to work under the conditions they have.
Fantastic experience: good place
Fantastic experience: Woodpecker cafe and play area very good, nice range of snacks and hot drinks available upstairs.
Positive experience: BH Live Queen's Park Gym is a fantastic fitness center that offers a wide range of amenities to cater to your workout needs. While it boasts an impressive array of equipment, including cardio machines, free weights, and resistance training tools, it's important to note that it lacks a boxing bag, which may be a drawback for boxing enthusiasts. Additionally, some of the machines may show signs of wear and tear, with rustiness and stiffness when adjusting the pins. However, despite these minor shortcomings, the gym shines in its friendly and helpful staff members who are always ready to assist you with any questions or concerns. Furthermore, the busyness of the gym varies, providing flexibility for those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere or thrive in a bustling environment. Overall, BH Live Queen's Park Gym offers a solid fitness experience with room for improvement in certain areas but excels in customer service and versatility.
Negative experience: I have a child’s membership after five months we were relocating to a different area. I asked to cancel my membership. They refused and demanded to pay up. They will take me to court this Gym and the organisation behind it are disgusting bunch of menaces. As for the gyms themselves, they are scandal You can get fined just for pulling up in the car park. The gym is dirty the changing room to dirty the equipment is dirty. I said we are really locating to a different area and they demanded the address and proof that we were moving. This is against the date of protection and I just don’t want scandalous creeps like BH live, knowing where I’m moving to. I will update you as soon as I get the court order to go to court for my 17-year-old boys Gym membership. They are scandalous creeps that will not let you go without squeezing every penny out of you, and possibly finding you for pulling up in the car park. That’s if you don’t get ill from using their equipment. As you can tell, I’m very angry and I am disappointed with his scumbags. I swear I will cost them more money than they will ever get out of me.
Positive experience: Plenty of parking & classes. Gym not as good as it used to be thanks to it being rearranged for studios but still prefer it to the big gym at Pelhams that always seems to be full of teenagers
Positive experience: Nice gym
Positive experience: It's a good gym with good equipment. The only issue, and this is spread across Queens park, littledown and stokewood, they are full of children. They stand around treating the place as a youth club. I have no issue with them training and trying to better their health, but hogging equipment in packs of 4 and above takes the mick.
Fantastic experience: Big up my guy Igor.
Positive experience: I do really like the gym, clean and with good vibes. BUT ITS SO COLD in all the gym rooms, you are unable to work out in the morning during this time. even good warm up doesn't helps. you need to have a jumper & winter gloves. any other location like the littledown, or pelhams are nice and warm - Queen Park you should really works on it, not very nice to working out in the winter clothing.
Positive experience: A nice local gym but lacks a lot of machines from other bh live gyms.
Negative experience: If you forget to enter your car reg at reception, after parking, you get fined £50. Some places in the gym are so dirty that I don’t think they’ve been cleaned since it opened.
Positive experience: Nice to have it back open again, nice gym, good facilities pool isn’t up and running though

Fantastic experience: Fantastic!!!
Fantastic experience: Nice place, awesome classes and amazing instructors...
Fantastic experience: Favourite gym, shame it's not open at the moment
Fantastic experience: Sorted covid rules well. Classes good - much better as they all use large upstairs studio. Gym is great and spaced out well.
Positive experience: Nice place and well equipped but swimming pool too small for me
Fantastic experience: Lovely, friendly gym with a great range of classes. The gym itself is rarely very busy and has a variety of equipment to suit any work out. Awesome spin studio with its recent upgrade to Technogym bikes.
Positive experience: Clean very popular
Fantastic experience: I enjoy every minute I am here, friendly staff and members, much better now the gents showers have been redone
Positive experience: Had everything here for me to do a workout. Only feedback would be to have better air conditioning.
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! £32 a month for the gym and swimming pool, we can use at any time through out the day! The staff there are super lovely and really helpful! While exercising you can also watch Netflix, YouTube, Tv or even play solitaire on the machines so it keeps you more motivated! Real nice clean gym as well
Positive experience: I love this Gym . I’ve been using it since 2003 when it was Fitness first. All centres have there ups & downs . Everything about this place is great apart from occasional dirty floors in wet changing room & showers
Positive experience: Nice place
Positive experience: Swimming pool was very small
Positive experience: Nice gym with a wide variety of classes.. Parking can sometimes be an issue
Fantastic experience: Karen Morrison is an excellent personal trainer here. Gets you going without any inane chit chat too :)
Positive experience: Nice gym but the gym space is too small
Fantastic experience: The best !!!!! Nice staff
Fantastic experience: My second home. Lovely staff. Lovely friendly co members.
Positive experience: Nice sauna
Fantastic experience: Dobrze wyposażona siłownia sauny, basen wszystko rozlokowane na kilku poziomach jest też kawiarnia i parking wszystko mieści się przy głównej trasie choć w godzinach szczytu bywają korki ogólnie polecam .
Fantastic experience: I'm in that gym for years and will not hange ot for any other
Fantastic experience: Great gym
Positive experience: Crouded, not enough equipment.
Positive experience: Great place, little quaint Caffè too!
Positive experience: I like this gym but should have more classes available. There is always a waiting list for the classes that I want, even if booked in advance! I love the program "Les Mills" . But honestly.. more availability of classes would be nice!!
Fantastic experience: Friendly Fun gym
Fantastic experience: Super miejsce na spalenie dodatkowych kilogramów
Negative experience: The new swim timetable format is rubbish ! Bring back the old version , so much easier to see what session you want at a glance , without all these daft filters ...
Positive experience: Fitness studio has good air-conditioning, thankfully. There are fun classes, but they get booked up really quickly during school term time.
Negative experience: @BHLiveActive right, I’ve been holding back as I know how hard it is to run a health club BUT..months worth of bodyfat in the showers, broken tiles,& showers that haven’t worked properly for at least 18 months! Front desk customer service has been eroded to not even a grunt hello..... seriously don’t know who does your cleaning and who ensures standards are adhered too but this is pretty damn rank now.... the only good thing going for this place are the PTs and a couple of fitness team.... such a shame
Negative experience: NOT HAPPY HAVENT BEEN IN 5 YEARS I WANT THE SWIMMING POOL BACK ANGRY ITS NOT BACK I DONT WANT TO GO LITTLE DOWN POOL BEFORE YOU SUGGEST THIS I WAITED AGES FOR YOU TO REOPEN.
Negative experience: Staff were always helpful and friendly, but let down by the facilities. The male changing was always a little grim.
Positive experience: Great location, friendly staff, good choice of classes and a decent gym with a relaxing spa facility. However, male showers, both dry and wet change, are like something taken out of a Saw movie... it's unbelievable how run down these facilities are, with cubicles out of order, low water pressure and filthy... well... everything. It not only needs a proper deep clean but also a total refurbishment. I recommend bringing flip flops... and disinfectant.
Fantastic experience: Everything you could want from a gym, all in a great location
Thanks for the lovely review Sam. See you again soon!
Negative experience: Toilets are dirty and stink. Swimming pool area also not a clean place. If you call in for enquiries nobody is answering, they have a voice message "leave a message and one of the staff member will call you back " this never happen. Once you signed with them they don't care about you. Think twice before you signe a membership with them.
Hi Daniel, thank you for the feedback. Please could I ask you to email our centre manager [email protected] to discuss your comments further.
Positive experience: Great location, lovely build, polite and friendly staff. Very clean with one exception: male dry changing room shower facilities. It stink, it's filthy and I need deep clean. All tiles and screen dirty and stained. It looks no once has clean it since BH Live owns it for a past few years. One need wearing wellingtons not to caught any skin diseases. No shower is fully operational (pressure issue). Please do something finally it's been like this for ages now. I will not post any pics to save you embarrassment. Hope you are open to constructive criticism. Overall I really like this place and hope mentioned issues will be addressed ASAP. All the best.
Hi Pawel, thank you for your feedback. We have a cleaning rota to ensure our facilities are cleaned on a regular basis, but we will look into improving upon this where needed. We're really glad you find our staff to be polite and friendly, and hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Good house of gainz
Fantastic experience: Not that safe...
Hi Paulo. Are you able to email us with more details about this review please? [email protected]
Positive experience: Located perfectly for people located in Springbourne. Parking available nearby and at the gym. Varied number of classes and pool available as well along with sauna and steam room. The service is really great and people are very friendly to help you out. Small cafeteria is also present.
Thank you for the great review, looking forward to seeing you at the centre again soon!
Negative experience: I joined the Gym about six months ago, the service has steadily gotten worse. They oversell memberships so the gym is unusable at peak times (no parking, no space to work out). The male showers are downright disgusting, some days they smell so bad you would rather drive home sweaty. The showers also don't have any pressure if more than one person is using them. When I made an attempt to cancel they refused saying that the service hasn't changed enough, even though the service is practically unusable to me now at peak times.
Fantastic experience: I love it!
Thanks for the great 5* review :)
Negative experience: Satisfaction
Fantastic experience: Great gym & friendly staff. Been a member for 14 years.
Thank you for your 5* review Helena. Looking forward to seeing you in the centre again soon :)
Positive experience: Nice place for exercise. 4 stars because the pool was closed, even if I asked one day before. It's so little, not good for swimming, but good for the persons who doesn't know swimming and trying to learn.
Thanks for the great review Roxanne! I'm so sorry the pool was closed on your last visit. We do have nearby alternative swimming facilities at Littledown, Stokewood and Pelhams with larger pools :)
Fantastic experience: By far my favourite gym, go there almost everyday. The staff are so lovely and motivating, prices are great, classes are superb. Definately worth the money!
Thanks for the lovely review Margot, looking forward to seeing you back in the centre soon!
Fantastic experience: Queens park offer a wide range of classes suit all ability. I do a fabulous spin class on a Monday morning with claire carty great venue!
Thanks for the great review, looking forward to seeing you again in the centre soon!
Fantastic experience: Really nice gym. Good cafe and plenty of equipment. No shortage of squat racks. Parking can be a bit difficult at peak times though
Fantastic experience: Staffs always great. Exercise area always tidy. Only toilet room inside dry changing room a little bit not tidy.
Fantastic experience: Really good gym. Alot of classes of you're that way inclined and the free wiehmghts and cardio rooms are good enough for anybody.
Thank you for your review Deepak, it's great to hear your feedback
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym although the pool is too small
Thanks for the great review Imran! We also have pool facilities at some of our other nearby centres; Littledown, Stokewood or Pelhams might be a good close-by alternative if you'd like a bigger pool :)
Positive experience: Came here as a non member to use the swimming lanes with partner. Pool was quiet on a monday afternoon amd changing rooms were spacious and I must say how decent the showers were. Powerful, warm and continuous (a rare find for leisure centers). However £4.80 for such a small swimming pool os very expensive. It is much cheaper in london where they had six lanes a a casual area and diving boards. Hence the three stars. Membership is incredibly pricey if the pool was larger I would consider it but it is very small. Will be taking my membership elsewhere! Shame really
Positive experience: Been going to this venue for over 20 years. Just been completely revamped, nice new café and bar area selling alcohol
Fantastic experience: Only been at off peek. Mot too busy. I think the gym equipment should be cleaned after each use during this hot weather by the people using them, staff knowledgeable and always around to help.
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've attended to in a long while! Great staff, really good equipment and space as well as a great bar with yummy, post gym, things to offer!
Fantastic experience: Really bad smell in male's showering area. It has been there for quite sometime. I have been using some other bh live sites . Corfe Mullen is the best. Went back to queens park after 8 months and still the bad odour is there. Bad bad.
Fantastic experience: I took my little two year here for a swim. She loved it. The pool water was very warm and the steps were perfect for her to play on. The change rooms are like any other. After our swim we had coffee and cake in the lovely cafe. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Parking is right outside the building and it is free.
Fantastic experience: Great place
Fantastic experience: Great classes
Fantastic experience: Great gym, staff are always there to help. There nearly everyday as it's a great environment to workout in
Fantastic experience: Miła obsługa, mały ale za to nie zaludniony basen, to mi odpowiada polecam
Fantastic experience: Lovely swimming pool enjoyed it with my family very adequate
Positive experience: Not keen on new locker system ,however,everything is the same.... customer service has changed aswell... feel less personal and less welcome.
Thank you for your review. We would like to talk to you more about your feedback, please come and chat with us next time you are in centre
Positive experience: Nice swimming pool and staff are friendly. My only disappointment & complaint is during adult swimming times, they allow children in the pool. This is not good if you purposely choose the time to go when it is advertised in the time table as 16+ Swimming only.
Fantastic experience: Great clean gym. Staff are very friendly,helpful and knowledgeable. Good price just wish the steam room was open more often.
Positive experience: Really nice, however the swimming pool is a bit small. and you need a lock for the lockers as they don't take money
Positive experience: Lovely place to keep yourself in shape. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Super miejsce
Negative experience: imma do this because sofia farted in the swimming ool area
Positive experience: Super gym Modern equipment Friendly staff Pool sauna steam Room Changing rooms need updating
Fantastic experience: Everything you need is at this gym
Positive experience: Old favourite been around since the last ice age...
