Nuffield Health Shoreditch Fitness & Wellbeing Gym

Fantastic experience: I have been the member of Nuffield Shoreditch Gym since 2013 in the days it was called Market Place ( I think it was! ) Many staff have come and go. Things have changed. The only thing that has not changed is the cleanliness of the place. Special thanks to Alexandra who cleans throughly, every nook and cranny’s! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to get on the Joint Pain program in Shoreditch. It was delivered in a small group setting and Daen our excellent trainer was caring and extremely knowledgeable about how best to improve our health and relieve our pain through exercise. He ensured the course was tailored to our individual needs, even though we exercised together. It was a Holistic course that covered your emotional and mental health, along side the physical. I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from long term Joint pain and I'm sure all the trainers are good, but Daen is fantastic ! I would love to do it all again.

Negative experience: Often has issues where it smells terribly of sewage. Can't express just how bad it is.. Part from that is just too small for the cost and overall could do with some big TLC

Fantastic experience: I recently attended the 12 week joint pain program for my sciatica issue. Our rehab specialist was Daen and he was very attentive to each of our pain problems and needs, and adjusted the exercises and machines accordingly. It was really good to have the group to meet up with each week and go through the program with. It was well planned and well thought out and Daen was very knowledgeable on all aspects of overall health and fitness. My Health stats have improved since starting and I’m really pleased with that. Having the extra 12 week gym membership is a great incentive to keep my fitness, strength and flexibility improving, which in turn will help manage the pain flare ups. I would whole heartedly recommend this program if you have joint pain.

Negative experience: Staff just put your clothes in the bin instead of lost property. Picked up and binned during my workout, whilst the gym before closing. Glad I checked before leaving. Could do a zero stars for customer service here if possible. Opt for one of the other branches where they don’t have an attitude (literally any other)

Fantastic experience: Sometimes I teach here and it's a vibrant, bustling venue that suits Shoreditch. Close to stations and many other venues and a hidden pool, huge gym and friendly members

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a regular at Nuffield Health Shoreditch Fitness & Wellbeing Gym for my morning workouts, and it’s been a fantastic experience overall. The facility is well-maintained, clean, and offers a wide range of equipment, catering to both beginners and seasoned gym-goers. The standout feature for me is the swimming pool, which I use regularly. It’s always clean, and the water temperature is just right, making it ideal for both leisurely swims and more intense laps. The pool area is also never overly crowded in the mornings, allowing me to enjoy a peaceful and productive swim session. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The gym floor is spacious, and there’s a good variety of machines and free weights. I’ve never had to wait too long for equipment, even during busier times. The locker rooms are another highlight, as they are clean, secure, and well-equipped with amenities, which is essential for my morning routine. Overall, Nuffield Health Shoreditch offers a great balance of facilities and service, making it my go-to morning gym. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fitness

Positive experience: Home gym - clean nice and staff are so friendly. PTs are also very very good - guess one of the best Nuffield gyms are trying barbican Covent garden and islington

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and clean facilities

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Gym and Fitness Area, I started today and the staff were so welcoming and made sure that my first day was smooth and fun!, Thank You

Fantastic experience: Love the gym, staff are great and always welcoming

Fantastic experience: Madeline has always had a sense of positivity around her. She welcomes everyone to the gym and start your day off positively. One of the reasons why this gym is top tier, the environment inside is unbeatable.

Positive experience: Great team at the gym and they really make this place. Slightly tired building in parts but towel service is welcomed.

Negative experience: Bit of a dump see male changing rooms ! Too small . Went at 5pm and we had to queue for a bench . So many people . A real let down from what I thought should be a good gym Nuffield Health (not sure how they can use the word health) . People coughing and spluttering all over the machines . Very bad experience. The response form Nuffield below has taken more than 2 months - and nothing about the condition of the male changing rooms I guess nothing has been done

Positive experience: Showers could do with a better clean, hair all around. Clothing spinner often broken. The layout of the treadmills isn’t as comfortable /private as other branches. The entrance gate often broken too.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, very clean and well equipped. Have been a member here for more than 10 years and always happy.

Fantastic experience: I am a home member of Nuffield city, so that's a tough gym to beat. This one is a tier below, so not as big or fancy, but they do towels and have a pool, a sauna and a steam room. The lockers don't have built in locks, so you need to bring your own. The facilities and equipment are clean and well maintained, and every member of staff I interacted with was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Special mention of Amber who was on reception, she was very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Overall a great gym, one of the best Nuffields i’ve visited so far but what makes the difference is the amazing staff, always helpful and stepping it up. Special shout-out to Michele, what an incredible guy, absolutely impeccable costumer service and assistance, couldn’t ask for any better

Fantastic experience: Ria & Lisa both awesome sales executive would definitely recommend

I will continue to be a member here forever.

Fantastic experience: Nuffield health in Shoreditch is a great gym and all the staff are amazing and super friendly, and to be honest my only friends. Especially amber, her welcoming smile always brightens up my day and Sean behind the desk is super helpful and the facilities are pretty good too!

Fantastic experience: I have been a regular at Nuffield Shoreditch for some time now, and I wanted to take a moment to commend one of their staff members, Jack. He has consistently gone above and beyond to provide excellent service to all gym members. Every time I have interacted with Jack, he has been friendly, attentive, and professional. He has an amazing ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued, and his positive attitude is infectious. In addition to his exceptional customer service skills, Jack is also highly skilled in his role. He is efficient, organized, and always on top of his duties, which helps keep the gym running smoothly. Overall, thanks to Jack (but also to all other staff members there, and in particular Lisa, Artur, Trinidad, Michele and Ellie!) I highly recommend Nuffield Shoreditch to anyone looking for a gym that truly cares about its members. Thank you Jack for your excellent service and for all that you do!

Positive experience: The staff are always very friendly, particularly Lisa and Daen. It's a well-located gym in the centre of Shoreditch

Fantastic experience: I love this gym so much! friendly staff and been very helpful with my trainning and diet, I think now workout & going to the gym is become my new hobby.

Fantastic experience: Great professional instructors and friendly welcoming staff

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lovely staff, special shout out to Lisa for her energetic greetings

Fantastic experience: Great gym , Lisa is friendly and very helpful

Fantastic experience: Lisa and Jack are here to help you! One of the best gyms with awesome staff and great equipment!

Positive experience: Great local gym. Has everything you need including pool, sauna and steam. Good mix of people and friendly staff - thanks to Lisa and reception team for the warm welcome each time.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Dean and Lisa. Body pump with Laurie highly recommended. Lovely gym and class.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing been a member since 2020. The staff are great everyone is really welcoming. The facilities are always clean and have the best steam room. I have to take this time out to give a great thanks to Emily, she’s a great PT. She really helped me achieve a workout plan for the for the next 3 months. Great thanks to the whole team at Shoreditch Nuffield :)

Fantastic experience: Kerrie has been so helpful, so polite and just a pleasure to be around. I’m loving the gym as Iv just started and had so much anxiety. She showed me around and made it all so easy. I

Fantastic experience: Of the 10+ Nuffield gyms I’ve been to across the country, this is by far the best one yet. It all starts from the way staff greet you at the door. Very friendly and helpful. The gym floor itself has some of the latest and greatest equipments. The weights were all racked up and in the right place (we all know how much of a miracle that is at other gyms!) Great swimming, sauna and steam room downstairs. Very clean all round. Also a special thank you to Lisa and all the staff there for being so welcoming and simply enhancing the experience with great customer service.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good atmosphere. Always a pleasure to see Lisa who is very friendly and attentive. Michele is a great PT would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Lisa at Nuffield health Shoreditch branch is a stand out member of staff for me. Always has a beaming smile :) Her passion and care for both her customers and colleagues is infectious and inspiring. You are so knowledgeable and supportive and I would honestly be lost without you here!

Fantastic experience: I’m not one to really leave reviews but feel it’s needed for the staff at nuttfields shoreditch , especially Lisa and Ellie at reception these two are always happy always smiling and always very welcoming , they make my visit A pleasure every time , I’ve used a lot of gyms over the years and for me personally it’s the best in the area by far ,,,,,,, good lucazades too

Fantastic experience: Lisa and Ellie are the best! Very warm welcoming. Lovely gym. Coming again !!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Lovely staff and great equipment. Sauna and steam room great quality, and towels on entry! Would highly recommend to anyone working/living in the area!

Fantastic experience: Lisa n Nick are the dream-team of hospitality and motivation. Both very welcoming until they learn you skipped the final set; then it's all hell and damnation.

Fantastic experience: Jack and Lisa both made my pay visit a very pleasurable experience: I will definitely returning thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and swimming facilties very clean. Staff very friendly and accommodating especially Lisa on reception.

Fantastic experience: Today was my first time visit at Nuffield Health Soreditch branch and Adela was amazing!! She showed me all facilities and she was really caring and attentive. If you're working or living this area, that's definitely a branch you'd like to subscribe for as a gym. They really take care of your needs and requirements.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: I went through class pass, the front of house was very rude not welcoming at all I decided not to stay

Positive experience: Pool was warm. Rest of the place a bit dated.

Fantastic experience: I don’t understand why this place has a low score. The staff is always friendly, I always get a good morning and a chats with the team. the PTs are extremely helpful and are very approachable when you need some help with equipment. there’s sanitiser and cleaning wipes everywhere. yes the gym can be crowded AT PEAK TIMES! Just like every other gym in London. However if you attended at other times it’s great. some of the facilities need updating to make it more modern in the changing rooms, but they are always clean. The female cleaner is constantly working but always has time for a nice little chat. if you like a friendly gym that has all the Things you would want such as a sauna and steam room and a 3 lane pool which can get busy again at peak times. i love this gym and always bring guests along when they travel here.

Positive experience: My overall experience of this place is definitely 3.5 Star. I have been visiting this gym for about 2yrs. The gym staff are not so friendly, you will see them in the gym training on their own or doing nothing. They seem to change staff quite often or every week so you will see new faces... The Gym it self are not so big so it does get crowded often.. you have be there early times. The swimming pool is always busy with loud instructor .... you can always hear the loud lady, the steam and sauna its not big quite small always breaks down... it takes them weeks to be repaired ....absolutely.....poorly managed ....the building it self quite warned out. The showers are not great.The changing area is very dirty the cleaner does not care. I even saw her eating KFC bucket in the changing area....that was disgusting....imagine walking into.a gym and seeing that...!!!! ,,

Fantastic experience: Very high tech equipment and friendly- super prepared staff, I will definitely recommend it to my friends and colleagues

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and clean environment

Negative experience: Saw multiple people going into the swimming pool without showering first

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for a couple of months and have had a really good experience. I avoid peak times and enjoy an almost empty gym

Negative experience: Definitely the worst gym I've ever attended. Unbelievably crowded. First time I've ever walked into a gym and walked out immediately due to not being able to get any equipment or find any space on the floor for that matter. It's so crowded that people are standing in front of other equipment (dumbell racks etc.) because they have nowhere else to go. This makes it very difficult to grab the equipment. Absolutely in no way worth the price.

Fantastic experience: For me it has everything I need from a gym - clean, decent equipment, pool, sauna, steam and nice showers. For the area you will not find a gym with all this for the price of the membership!

Positive experience: went here for the first time and won’t go back, pool was crowded, spa facilities were all full of guys and the whole pool + spa area was too testosterone heavy (I was the only female in the whole area). also u need your own padlock for the lockers, and the costume dryer was out of order, generally felt a bit shabby / unloved

Negative experience: Myself and a work colleague have visited the club several times now. Both male and female lockers rooms are not being cleaned at all, towels everywhere floor looks dirty wipes toilet paper and bottles all over the floor strong smell of urine and there is no sign of female or male cleaners around. I have spoken with a member of staff at the front desk and I was told cleaners were in early morning. I find this so bad because of COVID 19. My colleague he also left a message to speak with the manager and never heard back from anyone. I emailed their head office. I am a corporate member and my experience at Shoreditch so far wasn’t pleasant at all.

Negative experience: Enjoyed being a member here for a few yrs but it's been an absolute nightmare cancelling my membership. Multiple people at Nuffield have given me the runaround in cancelling and getting fees returned to me for almost 1 yr now. For this reason, I would recommend going with another gym.

Negative experience: Horrible customer service!! Very disappointed. It’s a joke to try to cancel a membership I went there, I called and I sent email but they still trying to charge me for more months. I really want to have peace after lots of emails and calls still not done?!?! Don’t go near there!

Fantastic experience: Great location, love the pool and steam room, friendly staff, clean, good selection of equipment and a good cross-section of the community. Well maintained and the atmosphere is also good - sometimes it can be intimidating with everyone being cool and pretentious but happily not the case here.

Positive experience: Great gym, great staff.

Positive experience: Great but small gym. Great staff, good choice of classes and facilities. Small gym though, does get VERY crowded around peak times, having to wait for machines/benches etc.

Negative experience: Pray that these members of staff do not enter into any roles of real power or authority. Total 'computer says no' attitude.

Negative experience: Unfortunately, it needs more than an upgrade. In comparison to Paddington and Canon Street, this gym needs a face lift to say the least. Have a list as long as my arm of the problems it has, just don't know how anyone from nh walks into this gym and tells themselves it's OK. More of a health risk than health club.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with top facilities. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: Good local gym. Ideal if you work nearby however it's quite expensive considering how small and busy it is

Negative experience: Dirty! A couple of years back I wrote the management about some tiny black worms swimming in the sauna floor. Just visited it last week with a day pass and you could still see the worms in the same spot. Disgusting! Overall cleanliness is the main issue for me.

Negative experience: Good clean facilities however the wait for equipment is a long one. One squat rack isn’t sufficient as during peak periods, there’s a queue of people waiting to use it. I joined this gym thinking ample equipment etc but reality is it’s been disappointing.

Positive experience: Great staff who are always very welcoming and friendly. The gym is generally very clean and the equipment has just been updated which is great. However, there could be more space for just doing stretching/free weights etc., although space generally is somewhat lacking so understand that there isn't much of this. The changing rooms could feel slightly more high end given how much the membership is per month - they recently got rid of body lotion dispensers which is annoying and the body wash is anything but luxe. The pool is really big, especially given how compact the rest of the gym is, and definitely my most-used part of the gym and is generally not as busy as the gym floor. I haven't used the steam room or sauna but they are a nice addition. There are also a good amount of different classes with great instructors, and it isn't impossible to get a space like some other gyms.

Fantastic experience: Really good Nuffield branch with brand new technogym equipment.

Negative experience: I’ve been a member here for half a year and have noticed it takes quite a long time for things to get repaired. Overall the gym staff are friendly with the exception of one or two who refuse to acknowledge anyone (unless you’re a thin young girl). My main reason for the low rating is the broken air conditioning. The gym routinely averages temps in the high 20’s and despite several complaints the system has not been repaired. I don’t need to describe the smells in the gym when it’s 28°.

Negative experience: Was a member for one year and at times, this gym was convenient for me. However to echo a previous comment, PTs do use the space for personal 1-to-1 sessions to such an extent that when using the small tiny area you have to grapple for anyway, you're totally boxed in. I would always attend as early as possible to avoid peak times, but unfortunately this gym is always busy. Staff are totally hit-or-miss. Phyl is a real gem, as is the young girl on reception with curly hair (sorry, never caught her name!); and a couple of other staff on reception. On the whole though, PTs were rude, actually wouldn't even acknowledge you walking past, let alone seem welcoming for you to ask for help. Other members I spoke to said the same thing. Class teachers Uliana, Lauria, Kryztina, Paula and Sally were all really great, and I enjoyed the yoga and pilates classes. I think the thing that really made me feel negatively towards Nuffield was when I tried to cancel my membership, I was told then that my first "free month" of a 12 month contract was just in fact a free month, before the 12 month contract began - not what I was sold and not what I signed up for. Rather than listen to my understanding of the situation, I had several emails from Oliver telling me that I'd "joined for a minimum of 12 month membership, meaning that Nuffield expects 12 full payments". I called up because emails weren't getting me anywhere, and even after explaining what was sold to me, Oliver told me I was wrong, and kept saying "do y'know what I mean?" on repeat, as if that settled the dispute. I think really he didn't' know what I meant, but even though there was clearly confusion, the way he handled the situation was totally unprofessional, rude, and unnecessary; like he'd assumed I was trying to wangle my way out of the contract, when actually it was down to their misunderstanding/poor communication. It was pretty time consuming and stressful trying to explain myself to someone who refused to be open to the idea they weren't in the right. Off the back of that situation, I wouldn't use a Nuffield gym again, as clearly the longevity of a customer relationship means nothing to them - I was only leaving because of moving work/home, yet now there is no way I'd sign up to Nuffield elsewhere now, and have recommended against it for everyone I know - especially this gym. Giving it 2 stars as generally classes and facilities were a good standard, and convenient location for me, but otherwise I'd say don't commit to signing up here.

Positive experience: The staff at the club are very friendly and helpful. The club itself is quite 'compact', with a small and busy gym and a cupboard sized spinning room. That being said, there is everything you need here. There is a 25 meter pool which doesn't get too busy in the mornings and if you are smart with your work outs you can make your way around the gym without too much waiting time. All the facilities are fairly new and to a good standard. The one glaring issue is that huge lack of bicycle parking, but you can get around this by parking on a nearby street without too much inconvenience.

Negative experience: Been a member for over 5 years from when it was Market Sports to when it was taken over by Nuffield. This tiny gym continues to be more and more crowded in primetime. Perennially poorly ventilated. Trainers use the space for personal 1-in-1 sessions with zero regard for others using the space. Repeat complaints to management went unheeded. Shoreditch deserves a better gym, adios.

Positive experience: Pros: they pack a lot into a small space, it's good value for money, you can use the other Nuffield Health clubs (there's at least two in the centre of town) and Paula's Tuesday Pilates classes are amazing Cons: It can get really busy - there's often a wait for running machines and the changing rooms are often packed and much too hot. It seemed like stuff was often out of order (toilets, running machines, swimming pool) when I was a member

Positive experience: Visited Nuffield with a day pass ('pay as u gym' app - £13). When I arrived, the process was quick and easy, I merely gave my code and I was sent through, however, it cost me an extra £6 in the process as I didn't have a lock (my fault I know). The gym is extremely small, perhaps a 1/4 of the size of Fitness First, Liverpool St Station, which is in its own right known to be a smaller sized gym. The free weights section has everything you'd desire and so to does the machine weights area. However, if you're like me and you like your space to skip or indeed lift weights, then you're better off elsewhere. In terms of price, I believe that a monthly contract is around £70 - £80. I believe this pricing is of course mainly for the brand name and the swimming pool. If you like swimming as I do, then obviously it's a great addition. However, for the price per month, the gym isn't worth it. You're better off becoming a member of the multitude of Fitness Firsts scattered around Shoreditch/Liverpool Street or if you're desperate for the pool, signing up to Virgin Active Broadgate. Would have been 4 stars if the price was £50! Apologies for waffling on, just like to give my opinion! PS, this may have just been my experience but all members that were present on the day seemed incredibly rude with no social aspect to the gym whatsoever. Opened the door for a couple of members with no response. If you're new to the gym it may perhaps be an intimidating atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad to have been introduced to this gym by this lovely little South American girl that works there. I got a one day free pass to try out and was shown around the place. It’s clean with a large swimming pool, sauna and steam room spa facilities! The gym is well equipped and there’s a lot of workout support personalised to individual needs. Least to mention unlimited fitness classes I can attend at time that suits me! I’m now a very happy member! Highly recommended!

Negative experience: The gym is clean and staff are nice but other gym membership are not. I was there for few hours and found other members arguing. I would recommend Moorgate branch.

Positive experience: not as good since it was bought by nuffield...

Fantastic experience: Very helpful, friendly and knowledgable staff. Especially love the pool which is never crowded and which is perfect to do some serious training in.

Positive experience: Ok for trendy Shoreditch. Bring your own padlock for the lockers. Swimming pool is ok. Quite expensive

Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym I have used in London. I even write a few articles about them. Google "Emmanuel Ray Market Sports" and you'll see them. Trainers Lucian Comiza and Earl Cottrell were brilliant. Exceptional service and very skilled. I wrote about them and told everyone I knew how good they were. Lucian was promoted to The Fitness Mosaic in Chalk Farm. The manageress of Market Sports at the time, took him with her when she left. Earl was poached by Virgin Gyms and paid 3 times what he was getting at Market Sports! Bizarrely, this has happened before to people I have written about and commented on how good they are. My friends sat I have the Midas touch! But it works for those who come into contact with me! I hope it works in reverse next time. Market Sports is exactly what's gym should be like. Compact, clean, straightforward and simple, with friendly staff and nice people. The classes are great too. Steam room and chlorine free pool, sauna etc. I've never spotted a fleck of dirt. Clean. Ben the manager certainly does a good job, although he could be a bit more efficient with communication. A studio with Pilates machines would be great but I guess that's asking for too much in a limited space. The instructors, Pilates and Yoga were brilliant. I might actually go back here again. If you're new to the area, give Market Sports a go.

Fantastic experience: the new equipment, and the gym floor looks fantastic after all the renovations, amazing costumers service, the stuff is really friendly and enthusiastic.

Fantastic experience: great staff, always willing to help. Nice swimming pool/sauna. Would recommend.

Positive experience: Staff are really nice, informative and helpful. they have motivated me to achieve my personal goals and have made them realistic too. i feel very support when i train. thank you

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out and customer service is superd!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for many years(from back in its market sports days ) the staff are a very fun motivating bunch which take there services seriously. Any feedback given is acknowledged. The cleanliness of the premises is spot on. New equipment, New Pool. Sauna. Steam room. Spin studio. Classes, personal training with great personal trainers and Studio hire should you need it. There are a number of options all in one place. And once again Really Great staff

Fantastic experience: Very happy with this gym. Even though space is limited they are allow striving to maximise the space. The staff are lovely and polite. I get a lot out of my gym

Fantastic experience: Great customer service, friendliness and help provided is on the top level. Highly recommended to be par of this gym.

Fantastic experience: Well located gym in Shoreditch with friendly, helpful staff. They have a 25m pool, which is great for Central London!

Fantastic experience: Great club with a full range of facilities, ranging from brand new free weights and fixed weights to a cardio suite. 25 metre pool, new sauna and steam room as well as over 70 classes a week. The team are warm and welcoming making going to the gym fun

Negative experience: Was much better as Market Sports - the pool used to be chlorine free and Nuffield changed that, also got rid of long standing friendly trainers and physio - and by all accounts much more cramped.

Negative experience: Member for 3 months. Glad I didn't sign up for 12 months. Difficult to get into the weights room, even if you make the effort to go in the morning. For the price - £72 I was paying - I'd expect to be able to stick to a routine. I understand its central London and super busy at peak times but have some rules and regulations in place to ensure the satisfaction of your customers. The staff are friendly and helpful which is a plus but to many downsides for me to remain with them.

Negative experience: Crap equipement, and overloaded, most of the time you need to wait to exercise. Go somewhere else !

Negative experience: Really bad customer service with I can't be bothered / it is not my problem attitude. Wild not recommend.

Positive experience: Agree with all of the above reviews, I have been a member for about 8 years on and off and really liked the friendly local atmosphere where people said Hello to you when you arrive. Its such as shame to see that its gone down hill after being taken over by Nuffield Health which seems really orientated towards offering additional expensive health services rather than focusing on the primary function of being a gym. The good PT's have mostly left although I have yet to deal with new guys very much so they could be great. The changes since the ownership change have been a nightmare, the class booking system has been changed about 3 times each with no communication to members which is clearly possible as Nuffield are able to send out 'customer satisfaction surveys'. I have passed on feedback to the gym and there have been improvements however I fear that it has once and and for all lost that friendly local feeling.

Negative experience: So disappointed how poor this gym has become. It claims to limit memberships however is now so over subscribed there are lines to use the cardio equipment. Recently changedbooking system for classes however have no system to check attendance at the class. Have been told on 2 occasions that the class I was wanting to attend was full however upon walking past the class counted 4 spare spaces. So disappointing as the gym use to be great.

Negative experience: Nuffield have taken over and it's taken away its charm, friendliness, community spirit, the little touches that made Market Sport so unique. It's horrible now. The machinery is still not very good despite all the changes, there are no extra health benefits st all!!! The same usual massage room, same equipment only now there is a huge amount of chlorine in the pool (unlike before when it was free of dangerous chemicals)...The steam room is smaller, uncomfortable and dangerous as is all in stone. The PT all want to leave down to changes and so we... Very sad indeed, after being a member for over 18 years. Gone down the drain. Time to move on...

Positive experience: good equipment, nice pool and steam bath. Unfortunately, it's often overcrowded and smelly. Booking a class was usually very difficult.

Negative experience: Market Sports benefits from being the only decent gym in a 1 mile radius which ensures constant influx of new members, and the gym managers do not control the number of subscriptions coming in (even though they promise that they do). And because there is a constant flow of new members, the gym does not cater to loyal, local members. The oversubscription issue makes the gym unbearably busy during peak times and classes are overbooked. The ventilation in the gym and class studio cannot sustain the overcrowding resulting in a foul smell and steaming from too much body heat. During class (especially Yoga classes) there is no space to move and no air to breathe due to too many people squeezed in a tiny room. This makes the gym very unpleasant and unbearable for people who want to go regularly after work.
