Oakley Fitness

Positive experience: This gym is okay. The pros are that it’s usually quiet when I go (mid-morning or after dinner), the equipment is generally functional, it’s in Petts Wood so I don’t have to get the bus to Orpington, and membership is fairly cheap. They’ve also replaced the weights upstairs with these shiny new silver ones which is nice. The cons are that it’s not clean, people leave weights everywhere, it smells of farts in some areas, and the toilets are really gross. I’m also often the only woman in the downstairs weight room. It’s nothing fancy but it’s a decent gym overall and serves its purpose

Fantastic experience: I was skeptical about this place due to the reviews. However, as I decided to give it a try, it’s actually not bad at all. Got all the equipments I need, although not necessarily the latest models as you’d have in Virgin Active. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Most importantly, the toilets/ shower room are kept clean so I do enjoy taking a shower there with ease.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, really clean, a wide range of high quality equipment at a very affordable price!!! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere! Great value for money! Happy I joined! Loved Becky's Spin class!

Fantastic experience: Just great! Sooo happy I finally joined!

Positive experience: Price good. Equipment ok. Too many kids. Avoid between 3 and 6 average age about 12!

Positive experience: Good for the price. Only complaint is the amount of children in the over 18’s weight room.

Positive experience: Great value for money locally.

Positive experience: Could do with spa facilities

Negative experience: Classic Oakley cleanliness!

Positive experience: Gym is good for the price with many machines and free weights in that regard. Talking if free weights, they are left all on the floor with no being bothered to re rack them. Place is also dirty and musty with stains everywhere. Private cubicles which are not cleaned regularly. There is air con if you want that. Cardio is very abundant with many machines. Place looks very gloomy most of the time. About to cancel which i can gather is not too easy to do. 7/10 gym could be better

Negative experience: Terrible gym... don't come here‼️ Facilities are whack, machines are slap bang out of order and half the weights are missing. Toilets smell of piss and I don't even know why I'm paying £20 a month to come here. I wish I never got a membership to start off with. Moreover, now that I've read other reviews I'm beginning to feel worried knowing that it won't be easy to cancel my membership. The actual gym is terrible by the way, though it is huge. Maybe this is why it is so dusty and old, since none of the workers here can be asked to clean such a big gym with so many pieces of equipment. The only good thing about this gym is that you can come here 24/7, though I won't bother coming here after 10pm. Once I came at midnight and it turned out they switch all the lights off inside for the night, so I had to use my own flashlight. After having an enquiry about this issue with one of the workers, they kindly explained to me that the reason is "to save electricity". Solid reason to be fair. Anyways, this gym is atrocious. If you want a decent gym with good facilities and clear membership information, come anywhere but here.

Negative experience: A cheap, budget-friendly gym that has had *very* little investment of the five years I've known its existence: multiple barbells and weight plates remain broken with no replacement, little to no maintenance on the equipment that still works, little in terms of sanitisation (dispensers in the toilets are always borderline empty). The atmosphere is caustic, with people showing no care for the environment they're in, casually throwing equipment on the floor where it's sometimes left *for days* with nobody around to enforce any form of order (two receptionists for a three-floor gym doesn't cut it). But all it's faults are down to management, not the general staff, for allowing the culture of disrespect to enter it and a blatant disregard for upkeep. I wouldn't recommend, especially of you're actually serious about training

Fantastic experience: fantastic gym, great value for money , spin classes are great and friendly staff

Negative experience: Dirty , never cleaned . Equipment is old but all works. Running machines are all old and filthy ! It’s cheap but needs looking after a lot! It has lots of weights to gain strength it is amazing value at 20 pounds per month .

Fantastic experience: Like the tardis, much bigger than it seems on the outside. Loved the dungeon downstairs with a wide variety of machines great for all body parts. Would come back!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym went there wile visiting my sister down south , everyone friendly and helpful would recommend

Positive experience: Good amount of equipment open 24hrs very cheap an very convenient

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant place.. all the facilities that you need under one roof.. love the fact you can visit anytime of day or night, staff really friendly also...

Negative experience: You do not sign up for a gym, you sign up with a finance company. They are awful, company, who you can not get through to on phone. They have lost a customer of over ten years due to ridiculous late payment fee. Will never use again, avoid at all costs.

Positive experience: Good gym for money

Fantastic experience: Good gym nice staff and good price

Positive experience: is alright

Fantastic experience: Everything you need

Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: Such bad service! You try and cancel your membership and then because you don’t pay they report you to DFC Debt collectors!!!! Then you have to spend over an hour on the phone trying to get through to them wasting time and money

Fantastic experience: Greatest gym of all time. Staff are angels also

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, excellent value membership. Also they have been considerate and careful throughout covid. I feel safe with them!

Negative experience: Gym is OK and cheap. However they won't respond to cancellation notice and just keep billing and the claiming late payment fees. I wish I had not joined.

Positive experience: Good gym, not too expensive, friendly staff and good equipment. Bonus for it being 24/7.

Fantastic experience: Not just a huge range of free weights and machines, but also classes if you want them. Spin, pump, abs, circuits all on offer. Bargain prices

Fantastic experience: Great gym got everything you would need I'm equipment and facilities.

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment in good condition, great value for money.

Positive experience: Fantastic fitness gym. Three floors.

Fantastic experience: Great value and good environment

Negative experience: Cheap. That's all the good stuff listed. Impossible to cancel. Just try, see what happens :) Still trying to cancel several months later.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities not over used. Sometimes noisy. No shower facilities.

Negative experience: Cheap and thats what you pay for. Has all sorts of machines etc but they are bit outdated. Good weights section but a mess. Again, cheap as chips and 24 hour!

Positive experience: The gym is good value. Staff a usually friendly but theres one thats a bit difficult. Couldn't understand why i was upset for getting charged twice. Needs more chest machines

Fantastic experience: Very clean..... very helpful staff

Positive experience: Gym is ok good value for money problem is lots of people sitting on machines on their phones instead of working out, which means us that want work out can’t get on!

Positive experience: OK gym. Gets away with unimpressive services because of low price.

Positive experience: Equipment is good, showers look like something out of a horror movie though. Haven't been updated in years. Mould everywhere. Feel dirtier coming out than going in. Good gym if you plan on showering at home.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great value for money paid. Open 24 hours

Fantastic experience: After having joined gyms in the past, I was sceptical that this was going to be any different but having moved back to Petts Wood recently and having a sometimes erratic sleep pattern I decided to give it a go. There is always equipment available regardless of the varying times I go, after work, Saturday afternoon, and very early mornings. The age range varies which is great. There aren’t younger people stood around posing as with some other gyms. You get a sense that people go to get fit and enjoy doing so as I do.

Positive experience: Only good for young people.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Excellent place. Alot of space. Will always be able to workout.

Fantastic experience: Kimono is great

Fantastic experience: Great gym, go to Krav Maga class there.

Positive experience: This has everything neeeded to be a casual gym member or for a dedicated member. If its just cardio you want to work on there are lots of machines if its for muscle then again there are lots of machines. The only downside is the toilets are frequently in use and you sometimes have to queue and theyare sometimes left in a bad way.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, a wide range of high quality equipment at a very affordable price. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Can't speak for the gym but I go to the café regularly with my little ones. Very friendly staff, nice cuppa, small soft play/crèche which the kids love.

Fantastic experience: Good gym

Positive experience: Great soft play area, good staff. No parking space though

Negative experience: Charging me a penalty £55 because I cancelled my gym membership which I haven't used for about three months when the contract I signed was a leave any time you wish to leave! Staff clearly didn't explain everything and weren't very good anyway. Be careful what contract you sign up with as they'll grab anything they can off you when you decide to leave!

Negative experience: Very disappointed Never had hot water in bath and always blocked.

Positive experience: It is a small but friendly neighbourhood gym. They have a soft play area and a coffee shop where you can purchase sandwiches, fruits, light snack as well as hot and cold drinks along with cakes and pastries. Their membership is reasonable and the gym is open 24 hours which is very handy if you have a hectic schedule. Their coffee shop is frequented by the local people including mums having brunch after their morning school run and retirees enjoying their cuppa while reading newspapers or meeting friends. The new coffee shop owner is extremely friendly and kind. The staff are lovely too.

Positive experience: Very cheap gym. Lots of weights but equipment partly worn out.

Fantastic experience: Please note I have only used the coffee shop. The coffee shop area is clean and spacious. A good selection of foods and drinks with friendly helpful staff willing to carry things to the tables if you are juggling children. Toilet seems pretty well looked after and they are quick to restock if you let them know something is running out.

Fantastic experience: 24 hours gym with a soft play area which if you book in advance children a certain age can be looked after. Nice cafe. Weights are good and have good range. 4 floors so allows room for different type training. With basement floor tailored for body building.

Positive experience: Lovely staff in cafe

Fantastic experience: Cheap, open all hours and great.

Fantastic experience: Have been going there for an year. It's spread over 3 floors, lots of equipment for weights, cardio, Calisthenics, etc. And the price is quite lower than the gyms in London, hence it provides a great value for money

Positive experience: Good for a quick snack

Positive experience: Budget friendly gym. Open 24hrs.

Fantastic experience: I love Oakley Fitness, they have all I need and it's so local! I particularly like the escalator machine :-)

Positive experience: Spacious, clean with good mix of machines...best of all very cheap and open 24/7, ideal for pre-work workouts

Positive experience: Great local gym... 24x7!

Positive experience: Good gym but not what I like. Very broken up as it's stacked over 3 floors. Everything works, showers are a bit weird but fine for a gym. Weights area us very messy inspite if numerous posters asking to clean up after yourself.

Positive experience: A good creche and kids play area - haven't used the gym but it's very cheap

Positive experience: Great children's facilities

Positive experience: Cafe staff are fabulous not sure about gym

Fantastic experience: I love dis gym

Fantastic experience: All you could ask for in a gym. Well spec'd lots of space. Up to 50kg dumbbells and lots of weight plates. Fitness area on the middle floor. Friendly staff and above all else the prices are amazing!
