Charing Cross Sports Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Excellent nurturing friendly supportive sports centre with outstanding facilities! Staff are welcoming, classes are motivating and the Olympic sized swimming pool is iconic, Thank-you!
Fantastic experience: Nice facilities, very friendly staff, and a really nice chill atmosphere
Negative experience: Staff do not answer the telephone and the it automatically rings off!
Fantastic experience: Good . recommended
Positive experience: 수영장의 한 쪽 끝의 수심은 약 4미터. 다른 쪽은 수심 1미터로 물이 깨끗하고 사용하는 사람도 적어 매우 만족. 다만 gym 시설은 족히 20년간 교체안된 듯 매우 낡았다. 그만큼 이용객이 적어 혼자 이용하기 좋은편. 그래도 좀 심하다...
Negative experience: This place was really very good before but has gone downhill recently, 2 of the squash courts have been out of order for long time, the men's showers goes completely off for maintenance frequently, the pool has many classes so hard for the members to find a lane to swim!
Positive experience: The pool is far too cold in between seasons. Or they must refund for the months not used. It must be kept at the same temperature all year round or not be offered to the private sector as it is misleading. I fell ill after freezing in it and I swim a lot!!!!
Fantastic experience: I really liked the pool and the girl from the reception was very kind and helped me a lot, despite my poor English. The club has a very pleasant atmosphere.
Positive experience: I attended a rehabilitation course here, and the main hall is excellent for the group of us doing exercise there. The swimming pools look well maintained, and the place is always clean and tidy.
Fantastic experience: I like it so much I renewed my membership for the last few years, a real swimming pool with friendly and kind staff , always eager to help. Finally a swimming pool of great standard
Fantastic experience: Simply love it
Positive experience: It doesn’t look like anything special, but my husband says the pool is fine and inexpensive. Fine surroundings, a hospital next door in case you exercise too much)
Positive experience: Quite
Negative experience: They close at 10pm mid week but literally chase you out! I was in the changing room getting dressed at 930 And the female receptionist pushed open the men’s changing area door and shouted for us to leave! This was with 30 minutes to go and and quite intimidating!
Negative experience: Staff are unhelpful and unfriendly, especially compared to other leisure centres.
Positive experience: Only joined this week so cannot comment on anything but the pool/changing facilities oth very good
Fantastic experience: Good facilities and reasonably priced
Positive experience: The changing rooms could do with private cubicles.

Negative experience: Ok
Fantastic experience: Wonderful venue with loads of sports activities for everyone at a really good rate.
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing pool. Way better than Virgin Active.
Negative experience: Most rabish I have ever come across,it is £54 per months plus fee joining membership of £25 and the phone numbers are all the same.It is absolutely crazy, why would anybody pay for 6 months in advance you never know for how long you be in the area or restrictions.....Very disappointing, the membership should be max one months this is just such a madness,
Fantastic experience: Mostly friendly staff. Nice and clean.
Fantastic experience: It was warm n more inviting than my 1st visit 5 yrs ago. Today I really enjoyed my pilates class as a non member.

Fantastic experience: Very good
Positive experience: I love swimming here and I've been coming here for years. Staff are very helpful. I'd like to be coming here at CCS to swim for many more years too.
Positive experience: Swimming pool and change room still closed, but the main hall was used for the first post pandemic yoga class
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, helpful staff
Positive experience: Reassures by cleaning regime and positive staff.
Positive experience: A good swimming pool & gym for a work out for all ages. Great atmosphere all round
Fantastic experience: Great 25m pool with very little crowd
Negative experience: Every Wednesday evening they put too many people in swimming lesson. Is that fine to mix more than 12 people indoor? The reception said "yes rule of six doesn't apply to us we can mix up to 15.”
Fantastic experience: Excellent friendly local gym. Has discount for nhs staff. Pool is full size and never too busy
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Fulham
Fantastic experience: A combination of gym,several choice of classes to choose from,swimming, badminton court and many other services to avail from according to one's preference.
Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere,great people
Fantastic experience: Yeah, I really like visiting this place. Funny what a difference a good stock of clients actually makes. The place is a little tired which I think adds to the experience. There's a real Stranger Things feel to the swimming pool. Use Hussle for a day pass to trial before you commit to the monthly fee.
Positive experience: I’d say generally a good swimming pool, but they need to turn down the heat in the changing room. The water is also too hot - but most customers are in their late 60s and swim slowly, so they don’t warm up as much. Still, I would recommend bringing the water down to 25c
Fantastic experience: Great club with all amenities. Dont miss Tyrons Classes they are really good
Positive experience: A practical down-to-earth sports club with a gym, swimming pool and several activity studios.
Positive experience: Decent swimming pool that is quite clean. Lovely to swim in mornings with sunlight flooding in through the windows. Change rooms (female) can be rather tight especially if there are swimming classes. great place to kick off some jet lag if you are staying on this side of London. Possible to get session passes as a visitor which is very good.
Fantastic experience: Loads of facilities and a lot bigger inside than it looks!
Fantastic experience: Great Staff and pool warm and nice.
Fantastic experience: Great pool.
Fantastic experience: Good gym and pool
Positive experience: Good place
Fantastic experience: Liked it a lot! Everybody so friendly, especially the life guard!
Fantastic experience: Great place to train
Fantastic experience: It was a Great event by Fabio Santos A.K.A. Professor Gringo.And this place is very lovely! Kind staff.
Positive experience: The club in general and all the employees deserve perfect score. Tyrone is my favourite. Two stars off the total because of the rude trainer Michael for Pilates.
Positive experience: Small changing rooms , limited facilities, swimming pool is clean and spacious. A bit expensive in comparison with others. Provides discounts to NHS staff
Negative experience: This club advertises that they have towels available to pool users. However when I got there requiring a towel (for an aqua exam) I was rudely told by the man on reception that there were none, that I was allowed to take a dirty one rather then a clean but still slightly well one, and asked why would I need a towel because I was going to be getting wet anyway. I am disgusted by this service and would not recommend this facility. Had I taken a dirty one who knows what diseases I could have caught.
Fantastic experience: Best place for top quality squash and gym. Swimming pool is a big bonus too..and staff....always helpful.
Fantastic experience: Good friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Great pool. Friendly staff. Useful gym for a regular gym goer!
Fantastic experience: Excellent pool
Positive experience: Nice leisure centre for children and people living in Hammersmith. There is a 25 meters swimming pool, fitness suites, squash, group exercise classes, badminton, table tennis.
Negative experience: Horrible staff! You do have all equipments for someone that is just starting, but if you are into fitness then this is not the place. The staff is a bit rude and have an 'i don't care attitude'. If you could pay a bit more, then highly recommended that you go elsewhere.
Positive experience: The gym doesnt have everything but this place is good overall. Clean, with good deals and pretty much everything you need
Fantastic experience: Very nice staff and clean swimming pool, enjoy so much exercising there!!
Negative experience: I like this place..I play badminton every week..
Positive experience: It's alright, a lil pricey for the quality you get. But at least the staff is nice and you have a 25m pool
Positive experience: Not the best but not the worst. I goes there mainly for Squash so not too sure about the rest. There's a swimming pool which is always a good thing
Positive experience: Decent gym for casual use. Dumbbells go up to 40kg. Would be perfect if it had a proper squat rack
Positive experience: Great location, staff very helpful and nice, cheap, 25m swimming pool, decent machines practice fitness.
Fantastic experience: Have belonged to this gym for over six years.The staff are charming and very helpful.The facilities are well organised and maintained.The pool is 25 meter length but has a proper deep end. If you avoid the pre work rush,lunchtime and post work times you can enjoy a very peaceful swim,a gem. There is also plenty of gym area if you are so inclined including free weights on the top floor.
Fantastic experience: …for a Londoner? - the best pool in the world! Yes, this is what I say about Charing Cross Hospital Sports Club swimming pool each time I pass the reception desk after a swim. If you ever dreamt of a private pool, feeling fed-up by the state of the local facilities, this is your pool! Yes, a very clean pool, quiet with friendly staff. Unlike in some other local pools, you will find no smell of urine, fungus or chemicals or noise, just the pleasant sound of swishing water. The cosy ladies changing room is clean and comfortable. The management look after the place very well and add items which improve comfort, such as hair dryers, plastic bags, grab rails or recently, new shower heads which make showering great. Hopefully an additional non slip mat will be placed on the approach to toilets to prevent slippage. Doing back stroke you can enjoy a view through the glass wall of beautiful trees seen outside against the blue sky and planes passing overhead. You might think you are in Hawaii especially as the pool’s water temperature is lovely and you never get a shock when immersing yourself in the water. An additional attraction at this pool on some afternoons is an opportunity to watch swimming lessons being given by a genius teacher Perry, Norman or John the British champion. Inadvertent observations of their lessons helped me to learn the front crawl! The pool does not seem crowded; in fact it is possible at times to be in the pool alone. The atmosphere is very good and people can do exercises by the side holding onto the rim of the pool if they want to. There are plenty of foam accessories freely available which can add attraction to the exercise, but mainly people swim in lanes. These are my personal impressions, technical details about the pool and timetables can be found on the web page :-)
Positive experience: Very nice sports club with a gym and a swimming pool for a competitive London price. The downsides are: very limited number of wight training machines and equipment, e.g. no pullup bar, no calve press chair, only a single bicycle (particularly weird, since there are many ellipticals and treadmills).
Fantastic experience: Good local sports club and well priced.
Positive experience: Very nice facilities with a good atmosphere. Big pool (25 meters) and different classes with really good instructors.
Fantastic experience: The reception is so friendly! I love the facilities and the equipment is superb.
Positive experience: I have an off peak membership. There are 3 gyms, all laid out well. A good amount of aerobic machines, and the upper gym is ok if you want to use slightly heavier weights. A great mix of people. It's clean with very good air conditioning. Staff are helpful but relaxed. It's a gym for everyone.
Fantastic experience: The best sports club in town...the staff are ultra friendly.ive been a member for more than 30 yes and the place just gets better and better...new staff, still friendly and efficient service.
Negative experience: I haven't seen the sport club yet, and therefore, my review is based on the service i received today. I spoke with the receptionist Monica who was very unhelpful and despite being working for the company four years was not able to tell the difference between the 9.30 & 10.30 am Aqua classes. I did ask to speak to more knowledgeable person in order to decide which class is more adequate to my needs as registrations and fees are compulsory for both classes, however, she denied me this right. I hope not all the staff in this sports center has this attitude, otherwise it is a sad news!
Fantastic experience: Great pool, squash courts and tip top friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Best gym and squash courts in Fulham
Fantastic experience: Small, but well run club. The highlights are the swimming pool and table tennis lessons. It never felt crowded or stuffy.
Fantastic experience: I love Charing Cross Sports Club. All the staff are warm and friendly, they go out of their way to help and there is always a great atmosphere the moment you arrive and see Monika's smile behind the reception desk. I really enjoy the swimming pool - 25 m. I think it is one of the best pools I have swum in - the water fresh and cool. What I love is that it's a place that feels like home - it's an individual club that knows its members and looks after them.
Positive experience: I love this place. Good ambiance. A nice swimming pool. Not fully crowded and so you get to use any equipment of your choice at all times. Each and every staff is just brilliant.
Positive experience: Great value and pool
