Gymbox Holborn

Negative experience: Horrible customer service. Awful experience after years and hours at the gym.

Positive experience: Hate the dj sessions, the gym is far too loud. Great gym otherwise, not that big but good stuff. I would personally replace a calf machine with a shoulder machine.

Fantastic experience: Came on a guess pass Open nice and early Joshua on reception was exceptional great service potential Fitness superstar

Fantastic experience: Super glad I rejoined after years away from Gymbox. It’s a great space to work out in. Still looks great all these years later and it’s clean.

Positive experience: It's a great small gym, the dumbell rack is abit high to rack the heavy weights, it's a hazard and needs to be changed. The equipment does need updating its very dated compared to the other gymbox. Karina the receptionist is very friendly, helpful :)

Positive experience: Great, would be a 4/5 but if you've got PTs not bothered about returning equipment after use how can you expect punters to? Have witnessed several times. had hoped hydro punchbag would've been replaced by now too but no such luck.

Positive experience: So so, I was a member for about 6 months and felt it was a bit limited compared to the cheaper big chains but was cleaner. One of the trainers there kept asking me if I wanted training until I eventually said Id only do a "trial" for free, we did one but it was a bit awkward as I know he thought he was going to make a sale. Other then that it was fine, just don't go after work unless you like close human contact. I'm not sure if the shower cubicles got changed since I was a member but multiple times when using the shower the gaps were wide enough that other lads would peek through, not to mention what I saw two guys get up to in the steam room......

Fantastic experience: Amazing for Thai boxing and general weights, huge cardio section

Fantastic experience: Nice gym with a good array of equipment, all you need to have a stellar full body workout and more!

Fantastic experience: Super

Negative experience: Really strange interaction with this place. I had a callback today and was told the representative is not ‘allowed’ to tell me the price of a membership!? If I wanted to find out the only way was to book a tour. As a busy person, I don’t have time for silly tours before knowing whether something is within my budget or not!? Stupid tactics to get customers in the building, unappreciated by prospective clients For this reason I will find another gym nearby.

Negative experience: Poor value for money

Positive experience: Equipment: very good. They have everything you need for powerlifting/weightlifting/bodybuilding. Only thing: the barbells might need some maintenance... the Eleiko barbells are not turning properly anymore, such a waste. The reasons I would NEVER come back: 1. The music was TERRIBLY LOUD. After spending 1.5 hours inside, my ears were sizzling and have now been hurting for two days. So you might want to bring earplugs... 2. They are continuously having boxing classes next to the weightlifting area. Great that they offer these classes, but some really good boxers were doing such hard kicks that, on top of the loud music, you have additional noise that hurts your ears. 3. Also, the people here do not understand gym etiquette (e.g. people walked 0.5 m behind me on my platform while I was doing snatches!! So unsafe!) Apart from that, the bathrooms are not clean, even the ladies toilets smell like piss.

Positive experience: Not my favourite

Fantastic experience: Dylan Giwa-Gibbs is a true asset to this gym. Exceptional service when Dylan was showing me around and brings a lot of good energy to this gym. Brilliant equipment/classes available.

Fantastic experience: Top gym. Highly recommend.

Negative experience: A lot of potential but really needs some attention as it's all looking pretty tired - especially as membership is not cheap. Changing rooms are fairly grim and have a pretty pungent smell. Feels like it's been a while they've had any investment. Staff also don't seem particularly bothered and often just hanging out in the corner with PTs often surrounded by food rubbish. A few good classes but for the price you can certainly get a nicer experience elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with a a great selection of equipment

Fantastic experience: Uchuko was amazing and so informative. I'd never been to the gym before and he showed me how to use all machines safely. And he was a great motivator, he is definitely a credit to your team!

Fantastic experience: Classes are great as teachers push you greatly, are helpful, and kind. Temperature of shower and sauna was perfect, and therefore refreshing.

Negative experience: Great gym but too overcrowded, especially since they shut down the fitness first across the street. The smell starts to be a bit too much too

Fantastic experience: One of the best friendly gym for both male and female with appropriate equipments

Positive experience: Really enjoy the classes, the spin classes are the best I’ve ever had. The weights section of the gym can get busy at peak times, but is well stocked and really good at off-peak times. If you like specific class instructors, then can sometimes be annoying when an instructor of a class changes but it doesn’t change on the app.

Positive experience: The gym is okay. They have modern equipment. There is definitely a hygiene problem. As in, this gym is pretty dirty. The staff are nice (well, fake nice). A lot of young people.. not sure if that is a good or bad thing. All the classes I am interested in are always booked up by the time I want to join. It’s alright, been to better gyms though. I also feel like I have been scammed but that is a whole other story.

Fantastic experience: Great gym love the layout all equipment on one level, including the staff who are extremely friendly and polite

Fantastic experience: Nice gym! Just wish people put weights back in the right place! Lol

Fantastic experience: I stay at a small hotel nearby without a gym. This gym is isn’t the closest but I like the facilities, set up and staff. The manager is a nice guy and is always helpful when I visit. One of the better run FF I have been to

Positive experience: I came the other day while on vacation in London. I enjoyed the workout facility itself overall but the cleanliness is the main reason why I’m giving it 3 stars. I personally had a hard time trying to find wipes or any way to clean equipment. I am also making an additional effort to make sure I clean my used, sweaty equipment properly. Meanwhile, the average gym goer will try looking for 5 seconds, then give up and leave their equipment dirty. It wouldn’t be that hard to add at least 5 more wipe stations, right? Then I tried washing my hands before leaving the gym and couldn’t find soap in the bathroom. So now you mean to tell me there are people that may use the bathroom, can’t wash their hands with soap, and are touching equipment around the gym? Again, I’m somebody TRYING to be clean, and there wasn’t any soap next to the sinks. It’s not that hard, figure it out. We just went through a pandemic for Christ’s sake.

Positive experience: This place could be utterly awesome. Great big space and great infrastructure. But it’s tired. I first came here for a taster session when it first opened, and it doesn’t feel like it’s been properly invested in since then (must be nearly 15 years?). The barbell bumpers, DBs, KBs and smaller equipment were all dirty and chaotic. There were just a few cleaning stations that I could find, so none of the punters were cleaning up after themselves. And the staff were hanging around without feeling the need to tidy up a bit. Don’t get me wrong - great workout, great potential. Just getting rough around the edges and the staff don’t seem to be taking pride in their workplace.

Positive experience: Good gym in Central London with great reception customer service from Maisie.

Fantastic experience: Wonderfully located gym with top notch customer efficiency from Mary on reception One of the loveliest people I’ve met

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in London! Mary on reception is an absolute delight❤️! Top standard customer service.

Fantastic experience: Lots of varied equipment and very nice staff. Ellis is always giving me great advice for my workouts.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of this gym for almost a year now. I have found the place to be just what I need, in terms of facilities and classes - they’re outstanding. I particularly love the Bike & Beats classes as the instructors are fab. Staff on a whole are superb too!

Fantastic experience: Great gym ! Ellis and the team made me feel really welcome and made the transition to a new gym and easy as possible.

Fantastic experience: Great gym to work out at, best gym in London. The manager Ellis was very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great energy & atmosphere! Best gym in central London, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I love Gym Box! I've struggled to find the right gym for years and I've been on and off with fitness however for the first time I've been super inspired and its not just the boring run of the mill gyms. Staff and PTs are great!

Negative experience: An absolute scam. They charge me the price of subscription for the month of March + 86.66 for the month of April (01/04) + 86.66 again (04/04). So I literally had to pay 238€ for a month. Nobody want to solve my problem at Gymbox. What a shame. But I am not going to let a gym stealing me this way.

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to leave a message saying how incredible mark in the sales team is! He really got me motivated to join and was extremely friendly and helpful!! Thank you Mark!

Fantastic experience: My first time at Holborn Gymbox - friendly atmosphere and staff - particularly enjoyed the yoga with Yaz and the Dance hall class with Jess - definitely will return

Fantastic experience: Thanks to the amazing reception staff Chuko and Maisie I had the most pleasant experience! 10/10

Positive experience: Good use of space and 3 good sized studios. Wish there was more spaces to do floor work/ stretch when there are classes on and you're not in the classes but that's ok.

Negative experience: I have wanted to post this for a while, but could never find time. Gym has good enough equipment, but most of the staff are cold, especially on reception. Not always an acknowledgment or smile on entering, usually just chatting amongst themselves or with the PTs, oblivious to members coming and going. Even saying bye on leaving, I don’t always get a reply. Walking past most of them on the gym floor, again almost no eye contact or even a hello. Basically cold member service - contrast with Gymbox Ealing (my home gym), where staff are far friendlier. These little things make a difference. Basically I feel some of them need to go on some sort of training on how to engage better with members.

Negative experience: Reception staff needs training on customer interaction. No name mentioned. Complete joke of a place.

Positive experience: Great space, good instructors, a bit too loud though...Just a few notches lower.

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym. Lots of good, well maintained equipment. Have done a few day passes whilst visiting London and this is my favourite GymBox all the staff have been so lovely. Will definitely find time to workout here again on my next vacation!

Fantastic experience: I've trained since 1998 at many different facilities (in the UK and abroad) and Gymbox are the best I've used. For the price the facilities are right up there with the best. Great sauna, many options for weights/powerlifting, rooms for yoga etc, sleds, frames, Muay Thai with some of the best trainers in the country in Team Tieu, friendly staff throughout. Mi amigo Jorge muy amable! Liquid soap in showers could be better quality but that's a small detail. My London life revolves around this place as much as possible!

Positive experience: Good gym, always free machines to jump on, unlike the bigger gymbox in Farringdon that is absolutely insanely busy during rush hours (17.30-19.30) The towels are as disgusting as in the bigger gym... The toilets are cleaner, in part due to lower amount of people.

Positive experience: It's good. They recently messed about with the free weights and now you can never quickly find the dumbbell weight you want

Negative experience: I'm just going to preface this by saying that Gymbox Holborn has some of the most motivating spin instructors with lovely energy and they were the reason I first joined. However, I am extremely disappointed with the attitude of the receptionist stationed on 20th October at 12:00 PM -- she was very rude. She had an air of haughtiness and the way she communicated with us (my guest included) was outright disrespectful. Her tone was one of arrogance and this incidence has me reconsidering my membership at the branch. For the sake of fellow members, I certainly hope this was not an incidence of micro-aggression and/or a prejudiced stance.

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym and Bethany helped me get settled with a quick tour! Amazing staff generally too

Fantastic experience: Big fan of gymbox and their classes and this gym doesn't dissapoint.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Best of all gymbox gyms by far, pleasant crowd and helpful stuff. Many thanks to Team Tieu, Bianca Pegrume, Teresa Callan, Wayne Nicholas and Amy Murchison for outstanding classes.

Positive experience: Friendly staff-Clean gym-Lots of machine options. LOUD - LOUD MUSIC- just needs to vary music a bit and it would be 5 star!

Fantastic experience: What. A. Gym. I’m never leaving.

Fantastic experience: Did a class at holborn and Emma at reception booked me into the dance class I loved GYMBOX Holborn it’s a great gym and Emma was so nice and friendly & she showed me around and couldn’t have been more helpful !!

Fantastic experience: Helpful staff! Shout out to Madison for showing me around and giving a great tour experience.

Fantastic experience: I’m super excited to join today! Thanks to Madison who welcomed me onboard with really great genuine customer service and assistance which is just so rare these days. Kind, friendly super helpful, she actually listened to me as a potential customer and genuinely directed me to my best options. Not at all pushy just genuinely passionate and excited about the gym. She listened to what I wanted to achieve and was kind and reassuring some weeks ago.. I called back to ask for her specifically today and she was just the same, patient and enthusiastic to help me reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: Such a fabulous gym! Particular shout out to Amy, great customer service and always so bubbly and warming! Makes my day when I see her in the gym

Fantastic experience: Just like been a member since Xmas and trained in holborn one day and loved GYMBOX Holborn super friendly staff and Emma at reception showed me around and couldn’t have been more helpful - really cool gym worth it

Fantastic experience: Great gym - the equipment is good but what makes it is the staff. Super friendly PTs and front of house. Great for stand-up too - decent sized boxing ring and plenty of bags.

Fantastic experience: Iv recently moved to the area and tried out Gymbox Holborn and absolutely loved it !!! Emma at reception showed me around and made me feel so welcome and comfortable !! Her energy was amazing !! I will definitely be signing up long term!! Such a cool gym! ⭐️

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym, with plenty of good equipment. Josh was superb.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with great facilities, good mix of classes, the staff are always friendly and helpful, especially Josh….can’t do enough to help

Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent facilities, has a really good vibe. Josh made me feel really welcome getting back into the gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a gym-goer for close to 2 decades and have trained at lots of different gyms… I’ve been a member of Gymbox Holborn for almost 6 years and it’s honestly a wonderful place. They get it right on lots of levels; it’s kept perfectly clean, lots of great equipment that works well, countless varied classes for all types of fitness levels. But the thing that really sets them apart is the vibe; it has something special about it and the sense of community is strong. The manager Emma is brilliant, she brings so much good energy to the place, and from the team of personal trainers to all the members; everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. Zero pretentious egos. Couldn’t recommend theirs gym more.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, staff, team etc. from the hygiene to the vibe! High level in all aspects Emma is very warming such a friendly face when coming in, as do the cleaners and staff trainers throughout. Solid like me soon from going here!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train and Great Muay Thai coaches and fitness instructor are fantastic

Positive experience: Great gym, extremely helpful staff. Geared towards boxing but lots of cardio and weight lifting equipment too

Positive experience: Pretty good basic gym, but lost two stars because the music is universally awful. I mean heartburn-inducing, anger-fomenting, how-could-humans-make-let-alone-voluntarily-select-this music. Maybe good for getting your hackles up when boxing?

Fantastic experience: Ok, GYMBOX in general gets 5 stars. Gymbox Holborn gets 4.5, because it's not Gymbox Farringdon (they're just different, and I like Farri better - one is allowed favorites)

Fantastic experience: Team Tieu training gonna make you tough and mindful

Negative experience: 90 quid a month for a gym that doesn't have any equipment different to your standard pure gym (costing 20-30 a month across London) while also having relatively few lockers + tiny changing rooms. For anything above 50 I'd expect it's own café and a pool. I came here for the Muay Thai but didn't have to pay for the gym membership - only for the classes + private lessons - but now a 15 quid entry fee has forced me to look elsewhere. Even with a discount it'd be 65 which is just unfeasible for a gym with this level of quality

Negative experience: The gyms good it just needs an upgrade

Fantastic experience: Fantastic for Muay Thai. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym and has a an amazing team

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great customer service... Hayley really helped me out and persuaded me to keep me membership after covid. Awesone place

Fantastic experience: From the start Jordan has made my mornings better with her sparkle. What a lovely lady on the front desk. Always makes the effort to chat and to go out of her way to make you feel welcome. GymboxEs greatest asset in sure ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Negative experience: Be warned they aren’t laying out hand sanitisers! They claim they are all being stolen. But they aren’t making this clear

Fantastic experience: Great physio team.

Fantastic experience: Gymbox Holborn is by far the best gym i have ever been a member of. They have a ridiculous range of classes you can attend so there is no doubt you will find a class that is best for you. For myself it is the combat classes, i love the boxing and muay thai, because the coaching is top level and the classes are held by active professional fighters, who are always willing to give you tips and great advice. It is for all levels so even if you are doing it for the first time you will get all the help and attention you need to progress and improve. The gym facilities are top notch and the changing rooms/showers are always clean and tidy. The staff are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. In particular, the lovely gym manager Rochelle often asks us for feedback, and our opinions of the classes as they are always looking to make improvements and it shows they actually do value the members feedback. All in all it's a fantastic gym!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, variety of classes for all levels, particuarly the Muay Thai and yoga classes. friendly staff - especially Rochelle!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of diverse classes.

Fantastic experience: Atmosphere is great and the team there make you feel really welcome and motivated! The best Gymbox I've been to so far.

Positive experience: I use the studio space regularly as an external person, not gym member. Good size and great floor for dance rehearsals. The studio has Full mirrors, ambiance light changer, aircon, yoga equipment and great changing facilities. Music with a pulse and industrial decor - it looks and feels trendy but with some serious gym bunnies. The gym looks well equipped and cool temperature although I haven't used it, I would recommend it for a gym goer new and experienced.

Fantastic experience: Ive just joined but... I already love it! I had the most welcoming gym tour and smashing first few classes! Thumbs up all the way!

Fantastic experience: Great facility to get some training in and very friendly and helpful tour from Eugy!

Fantastic experience: Great, clean gym, with amazing facilities. The General Manager Eugenia was very welcoming and friendly on arrival. I would definitely recommend the gym to both newcomers and experienced fitnessers.

Fantastic experience: This gym is extremely conveniently located and decked out with Eliko equipment (with a a good sized lifting platform), a boxing ring, all the cardio machines your heart could desire, a free weights section and a callisthenics area. In additional to this the gym offer a multitude of class available to book. Although no where near as large as it's sister in Farringdon this gym leaves nothing to be desired; in fact, in some ways, I would prefer to go to Holborn as it is far less busy than other locations. This gym may be small but is perfectly formed and has an extremely friendly team who is always willing to help. Shout out to Eugy the general manager who is always accommodating and helpful making sure you get the best session! 10/10 would recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Very well managed and all the staff is lovely. The manager Eugy is the best!

Fantastic experience: I love this place, huge space and lots of equipment - got shown around by the manager Eugenia, such a great member of staff

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with fantastic facilities! The staff are all friendly and very helpful. The combat sports are fantastic and something that not many other gyms have!

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym with amazing location and friendly team

Fantastic experience: Perfect gym. Great atmosphere, amazing staff, spacious and really good equipment.

Fantastic experience: Friday night, MetCon and HardCore is where you need to be!

Fantastic experience: Had a great tour of the gym! Visited off peak hours and it wasn't too crowded, they have great facilities and the classes look interesting too!!

Fantastic experience: Wow! This gym is so cool. As someone who just moved to London, I was looking for an inclusive and fun place to work out. The manager was really nice and explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. Can definitely see this place and the people becoming my sweat community.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very clean, excellent and friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: I Signed up to gymbox after leaving david Lloyd's due to the overpriced monthly payments and I can honestly say it was the best move I did. Holborn gymbox is my home gym and my experience so far has been really good. There are a variety of classes which all have very enthusiastic gym instructors, they also do dance classes which I'm excited to attend next week. The gym is very well set out in terms of equipment and there are many different machines, ones you would not find in most gyms. There are duplicate machines aswell which means waiting around to get on a machine in peak busy times is not an issue. The gym has a nice feel and vibe to it and staff are very friendly and helpful. Getting there is easy as it is right next to holborn station!
