Colombo Centre

Positive experience: Great location, cheap to get a day pass if you are in central London, unlike other gyms wherr you have to fill hundreds of application forms to have one workout

Fantastic experience: Always such a great place with the gym workout and super social activities

Negative experience: Messed up booking times. Unwilling to reschedule a day in advance. Poor customer service

Fantastic experience: Staff were very helpful and apologetic when I mistakenly got charged. Overall gym is good not that busy. Great for students who study nearby because it’s cheaper than other gyms

Fantastic experience: Really great gym, not too crowded overall in fact pretty quiet. Ladies showers and loos are very clean.

Positive experience: Nice-ish basic gym and changing rooms. But access to very good tennis and 5-a-side pitches.

Fantastic experience: I tried this gym on my last work trip to London and I only have positive words. It is quite central but the day pass is not as expensive as in other gyms. Helpful staff, great and complete strenght machines. It‘s definitely worth a visit if you are thinking on training during your trip! Greetings from Spain guys! :)

Fantastic experience: Old school gym with everything one needs

Fantastic experience: I take regular tennis coaching lessons here from Tom, who is incredible. I had tried out coaching lessons from a bunch of other coaches elsewhere but felt often felt feeling unimpressed. Whereas, when I took coaching from Tom, I saw the value to taking lessons from the very beginning. The most remarkable thing about him is his ability to figure out exactly what needs improvement and then explaining specifically how to achieve that improvement. Recently, we started doing a video analysis as well where after each session we would look together to identify weaknesses and see if I am indeed making progress on those or not.

Fantastic experience: My shop DX haircut salon

Fantastic experience: The team at Colombo Centre gym are super friendly and professional. I've been working out at the gym on and off for over 20 years. I love the offering of low-cost community gym in a light and airy space, plus tennis and football pitches. I love the ethos of the gym - the Colombo centre has been at the heart of wellbeing on the Southbank for decades. We started our Breathe London therapy centre at centre in 2005. We have four beautiful treatment rooms with therapies, including psychotherapy, massage, acupuncture, podiatry, yoga, positive psychology and physiotherapy. Over the years we've loved working with the team at the Colombo centre and Coin street - great partners.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Very friendly

Fantastic experience: Great meeting place for our weekly coffee morning. Staff are fantastic. Lots more goes on there and a great gym for all ages

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff, very clean gym, well maintained ,great place

Fantastic experience: Lovely atmosphere lovely friendly people

Fantastic experience: A friendly staff Clean Gym Affordable On another note hotel staff smoke outside the hotel Smoke access gym window put me off training

Fantastic experience: So Friendly & welcoming , best gym ever.

Positive experience: Great price for what you get and usually not too busy. The locker situation isn't great, having to put in 20p every time you use it to lock it.

Fantastic experience: Well maintenance on the equipment, clean and spacious environment, and friendly and welcoming employees. Even people workout here seem to be very well mannered and follow all the instructions for using the equipment. I really enjoy this place during my stay in London. Highly recommend❤️

Fantastic experience: Great gym that has everything you need. Friendly staff, clean, machines are well maintained and all at a great price for central London. No longer working in the area but would recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: This is such a good gym at bargain prices too. Excellent equipment that is well maintained. The gym is always clean and very spacious. Staff are incredibly welcoming and polite. A hidden gem for the cost and location. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good easy to get to gym at a fantastic price Has all the gear you need to work out ,the changing rooms are nothing special but there clean and tidy.

Fantastic experience: Great Nice place, I go here for football⚽️!! weekly but there's also a gym which I'm tempted to try out great atmosphere great place to take out with families & relative I used to play here & Go gym here during school time great place to play!☺️

Positive experience: Great gym!! I've been going there for a while and I have had a good experience so far. Staff is polite and respectful. Most of the time it's not that busy which makes it easy to find machines to train. ️

Positive experience: Have used the Studio 1 for badminton. Nice spacious and clean court. You need your own equipment though (but that is standard). One could say that the hour rate is a bit pricy but given its in the heart of London, it makes sense. Access and moving around is easy. Booking system is straightforward too

Positive experience: The lunch fills up fast and your waiting for equipment. As people have mentioned the equipment is old and the place is run down, there has been an attempt to upgrade certain pieces of equipment but some piece of equipment our broken weekly and takes a while to fix. In the centre of london off of the southbank right next to offices, There is enough space and equipment to get a full workout in if you go at the quiet times, before lunch or mid afternoon.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: I was a member before the pandemic and have since moved away, so my review my be out of date, but I really loved the place - definitely a hidden gem. Its amazing value. A good range of solid equipment - even has punch bags and resistance bands which is great! There is a good functional area in the middle of the gym, and a more private area with matts for stretching. It was never that busy and I could always use whatever I needed. The gym area is a good size with a high ceiling and decent natural light (rare for Central London!). Staff were friendly and memberships were flexible (stopped charging as soon as lockdown began). It has a nice community feel, and its run by a social enterprise - so I knew my (small) membership fee was supporting something worthwhile. Its the sort of place where there is no pressure to look glamourous, which makes me feel much less self-conscious! The changing rooms were basic but functional. Only downsides were: (1) the lockers cost 20p, (2) shower pressure wasn't great, and (3) changing rooms could be cold in winter (its a fairly old building). I wanted to make sure I gave this place the recognition it deserves - maybe the owners can comment to flag if any of the above has changed since March 2020

Positive experience: Really great gym with this place. It's the perfect price for someone living in the area and has everything I need. Could be more up-to-date equipment, but it works fine, which is what matters to me. It's nice that it's local people and it's not a puregym type place where everyone can go to stay fit and healthy..

Negative experience: Not much happening atm as convid

Negative experience: I was disappointed with the customer service and professionalism of the staff I went onto the website and it clearly states free day pass I requested this and it was accepted when I went to the gym the staff there replied we no longer do free passes how embarrassing I I did mention or receive an email from a manager he then replied yes you can have it now that the managers emailed you a little bit misleading also the staff Behind the Counter need to be a lot more friendlier and not laugh at the customers there is no warmth there is no welcoming I won't be going there again no matter how much it cost to go anywhere else

Fantastic experience: Brilliant astro turf 5 a side pitches

Negative experience: There are THIEVES in the women’s changing room and the manager can’t care less! After my jacket had been stolen I reported it to the police and the manager took a WEEK to reply after I’d given him a nudge, he was saying no one had been seen wearing my jacket. What thief would have done that? The changing rooms are DIRTY and the club itself leaves much to be desired. I only go there because I have dance classes organised by the City Academy and I do love the classes as they are simply the best! Some of my group mates are not coming back though because of the venue itself. I will be trying to ignore the situation regardless of how I am feeling towards this mean act of stealing my favourite item and indifference of the staff as I know what goes around comes always back around ! I guess if I were a club member they would have been more concerned, which is very unfair.

Fantastic experience: I love my dance aerobic classes with Tracy. She's an amazing instructor.

Fantastic experience: Great place hidden away in the hustle of central London. Jumuah prayers are held here every Fridays. Spacious.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great community venue

Negative experience: Dog walking area.Nice facility for footie,tennis & netball.Ur a brick Angela!.

Positive experience: I only go to this place for weekly dance lessons. The place is pretty big. It has a gym, which is pretty huge and has several squat racks and other equipment. There are meeting or conference rooms. Also dance or yoga studios. Plus changing rooms with showers for both men and women. Over all, lost of the stuff looks alright. It isn't well maintained. would benefit from some upgrade. Still pretty good for geoup lessons.

Positive experience: Nice place, I go here for badminton weekly but there's also a gym which I'm tempted to try out

Fantastic experience: Muy bonito

Fantastic experience: Nice and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: very nice

Fantastic experience: Cheap, clean enough, staff at the entrance are super nice. It’s not of course as modern as the ones that charges you 15 times more but it definitely does the job.

Positive experience: Good local gym, friendly crowd and very affordable, especially as a local. Equipment is not the newest though and they have these annoying lockers for which you have to carry 20p coins (which are kept as a 'fee' for lockers...)

Fantastic experience: Good Gym, not to busy so machines normal free

Fantastic experience: Used a function room for dancing.

Positive experience: Good bunch of people nice and friendly I will be going again can't wait looking forward to next Saturday

Positive experience: Small space. Not big enough to accommodate not than 50 people

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Lovely place

Negative experience: Knackered!!! One of the worst gyms I've seen in London. The lady who runs the team there is also knackered. No communication skills.

Positive experience: Leisure center at just a few minutes walk distance either from Southwark station and Blackfriars station, they have a fairly big gym and also 2 tennis court and 2 5 a side football pitches. Good deals on Mondays, and on certain hours of the day, I suggest to book in advance, because it's pretty busy.

Fantastic experience: Came across the gym by accident and the staff could not be more helpful, first class customer service from the girl on the desk Saturday 1 December at 1230 ish, we are down for 9 days and will definitely be back to use the gym and partake in some of the classes, decent equipment and always available to use.

Fantastic experience: Nice stuff. And quite place. "

Negative experience: Such old equipment. It's just nice cause it's quite empty

Fantastic experience: Super endroit

Fantastic experience: Great centre very friendly staff. Great for holistic therapies.

Positive experience: Nice basic gym. Cheap also

Positive experience: Everything you need

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun and fantastic atmosphere

Positive experience: The place and equipment could do with an upgrade. It does feel like a school converted to a gym inside. Reasonable membership rates based on location. Football pitches are £65 per hour, which are a bit steep

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun there

Positive experience: I like it. .. well done for space they have it. ..

Positive experience: Cool pitch!!!

Positive experience: Its ok

Negative experience: Old gym equipments falling apart.

Fantastic experience: As a gym goes it's functional and does what it says on the tin. The staff are friendly and there is a decent amount of kit to use from the stationary bikes to the treadmills and cross trainers. Plenty free weights to go around as well. It's also great value!

Positive experience: Central place to play

Positive experience: Nice new facility in bath, has lovely halls and ten pin bowling.

Positive experience: Pretty good considering the price and it being a local authority run operation - don't expect bells and whistles but all in all there's everything you need for an extremely reasonable price given the location

Positive experience: Had a reasonably priced game of doubles tennis on concrete outdoor courts.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere

Positive experience: Decent gym for the price. Relatively old building and older machines. Nice friendly staff and have tv's (no sound but subtitles). Music select is hit and miss with lots of jumping between songs. Overall good value.

Positive experience: Very nice venue and very well lit. The football pitches are very good quality

Positive experience: Nice people.

Positive experience: Gym and physio centre

Positive experience: Gimnasio con amplia variedad de maquinas y no suele estar muy lleno de gente lo que te permite hacer tus ejercicios sin demora.

Negative experience: Went here to play tennis with a friend..... It's dead. Noone is here checking the courts, they are not well maintained a generally would expect a higher level of service for 9 pounds an hour courts. Rip-off.

Fantastic experience: Nice leisure centre, mens changing rooms always seem to be semi flooded though...

Positive experience: Small gym, gets fairly busy at lunchtimes and after work

Positive experience: Fully equipped gym, but it can do with a refurbishment. Not too keen on the showers.

Positive experience: It's a cheap and its Nothing flashy but it does the job

Positive experience: Nice staff and easy to use gym equipment

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Friendly staff who actually give a damn. It's old and crumbly and no frills but I'd take that 100x over a souless city gym.

Positive experience: Good gym, shame about the new refit of the men's changing room, nice design but the shower should have been kept separate and not open as per before, some people who go to gyms are subconscious about their body image and weight.

Positive experience: Good gym but Staff gets annoying 30 minutes before official closing time. I understand the fact that they would be eager to go home and I'm not keen on staying locked up in a gym all night. Just don't need to harass me every 2 minutes to remind me you close at 10, I will be gone by then !

Fantastic experience: I have only ever used it for classes but I have tried several of those and it is brilliant. The instructors are very good; they care to find out about your level of fitness, injuries, help to ensure exercises are done properly, tailor exercises to suit the various levels of people in the classes, even remember your name... just brilliant! In addition the classes are small, you always get a space and the staff and people are really friendly. The location is of course also ideal and the price half what a gym in that area would charge!

Fantastic experience: Perfect no nonsense gym. In a key location. Staff friendly and extremely helpful. And they have real tv channels. ...

Positive experience: That a pretty poorly ran club from the perspective of someone trying to book the badminton court. You never get someone knowledgeable for anything, especially booking, their software never works, they never pick up the phone... and you end up having to pay full price for using 45 min of the court b/c someone else needs it for yoga classes (and makes sure you know that 15 in advance, starring at you the whole time). Also you're never quite sure the booking will actually get you a court once there... well, it's really about location, isn't it...
