1Rebel Holborn

Fantastic experience: Adam who took my pilates class was absolutely incredible. SO empowering, adapted the class for all abilities and was genuinely just an amazing energy despite it being a Saturday morning! The best class I've taken in ages. Thanks Adam!!

Positive experience: I come to pilates twice every single week and although my experience is great in general, the teacher Angelika who teaches reformer in the weekends us extremely rude. We were late by 1 minute and she did not let us in, and in a very rude manner told us to get out of her class while doing a get out hand gesture. I felt as if I was not welcome and I was kicked out. If the blue eyed lady at the front desk wasn’t there I would’ve lost my 2 credits which costs around £50. Angelika is extremely rude, and I will not be considering her lessons going on forward.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 I had a great experience at 1Rebel Holborn! The studio is super clean, modern and really welcoming. The staff always greet you with a smile which makes such a difference. A special shoutout to Harriet who is one of the reformer Pilates instructors. She was honestly amazing. So kind, patient and really attentive. She explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable and had such positive energy throughout the class. I genuinely felt well guided and supported the whole time. Overall I highly recommend the Holborn location, especially if you get a class with Harriet! -Fatima

Negative experience: For the price of Reset, the facilities are inadequate--cold plunge only fits one person, while 8 people get signed up. At the current price point, the reset sessions should be either (1) made double the time to allow for enough time for everyone to get the full sauna/cold plunge experience, or (2) cut down to only accommodate 4 attendees at a time

Fantastic experience: Lots of amenities for showering & prepping yourself for the day

Negative experience: I have never experienced such a rude and dismissive reception. I arrived for a late reformer class already dressed, 7 minutes before the start. While I fully understand the studio rules, the way I was treated was unacceptable and unnecessary. The receptionist with curly hair laughed at me when telling me I wouldn’t be allowed in, turned his back while I was asking questions, and responded with a smug, dismissive attitude. When I tried to clarify, he would simply smirk and look at me in silence instead of giving a clear answer. Rather than offering a polite explanation, he made diminishing comments such as suggesting I “go change in the bathroom” when I asked for a changing room. This behavior felt extremely disrespectful and I can’t imagine how a premium gym can be represented by someone with this attitude. His colleague ended up helping me and letting me into a class.

Fantastic experience: They genuinely care about their customers! I went in for a Reset cold plunge session expecting icy waters, but it turned out not as cold as promised. They not only gave me a voucher for another session, but also threw in a complimentary shake to make it right. I'm impressed by the service recovery and how they handled it

Negative experience: Huge step in changing room is health hazard

Negative experience: Reshape with Ben is just a cut below the rest of the other instructors. Super unclear instructions, bordering on dangerous. Also, had to wait for my prebooked shake - not happy

Positive experience: The location is great. The class was super intense. Sprinting is your recovery. Very good facilities.

Fantastic experience: Perfect reformer class.

Fantastic experience: Reshape class is a great all round HIIT Class, faiclities are lovely with products in the changing rooms. Reset sauna and cold plunge sessions and great for recovering. Staff are soo nice and attentive, couldn't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Huge improvement from 1Rebel on customer service. I found in the past they were rigid and unhelpful but over the past six months I’ve only had positive experiences. Ruby at the front desk in Holborn was especially professional . Listened carefully and was willing to work with me to solve an issue. Can I add that the staff (especially Dev) are amazing. They work to find solutions and bring positive energy to any issue. Thank you 1Rebel Holborn Team.

Negative experience: Cutoff

Fantastic experience: 1Rebel Holborn is exceptional. Dev, Ruby, Luis, Lovie, Angelika, and Vasi create a welcoming environment, the staff all work tirelessly and everyone is accommodating as possible with requests. All areas a spotless thanks to the incredible cleaning team at Holborn.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at 1Rebel on Saturday, 10th May. I arrived just one minute before my class due to transport issues and asked the blonde receptionist about the changing room. Since there wasn’t enough time, she kindly offered to look after my belongings at reception so I wouldn’t miss the class. Thanks to her quick thinking and helpful attitude, I made it on time!

Negative experience: I mean, one star only belongs to the instructor, she was nice. The rest is a no-no. Very commercial, big groups, one in, one out, not much attention to what people are doing (and how? With so many people on a class). Not customer friendly, horrible arrogant reception staff (special greeting to the guy on the reception), with passive aggressive smile they will make you feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. I’ll never will come back there again! So happy I tried this place via class pass (which was probably the reason to treat me like that) and didn’t buy an expensive package. I’m going now to a Pilates in another central area, so big difference! Wish you reconsider your way of treating people.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it. Both the reshape and reformer classes are brilliant

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend 1Rebel enough! I have the unlimited membership and go every day—it's truly one of the best parts of my routine. The teams at Holborn, South Bank, and Victoria are all incredible, but a special shoutout to the Holborn crew who make every visit feel like home. Dev, Ruby, Luis, Lovie, Angelika, and Vasi—you all bring such great energy and warmth. It honestly feels like a family. The training conditions are top-notch, and the trainers are absolutely amazing—too many to name, but Jack D and Abdallah deserve a special mention for consistently bringing motivation, kindness, and killer energy to every class. Best workouts ever. If you're looking for a gym that’s more than just a gym—this is it.

Fantastic experience: Attend this studio regularly, and have had amazing experiences!! Special thanks to Dev & Katrina, truly excellent customer service, so friendly and helpful, and always make me wanna come back :)) props to them

Fantastic experience: I went for a reformer class here and loved it!! The front desk staff were lovely! Special shout out to LJ on the front desk who made me feel so welcome! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy Reformer as it’s an intense full body, strength building, low cardio exercise like no other! Holborn is the only location I visit and often go up to 4 times a week. Matt on Reception is brilliant and learnt my name from the beginning: always smiley, friendly and welcoming. He acknowledges all guests rather than just ignore. Ruby’s customer service is excellent, and the standards you would expect for the high monthly fee: she is very understanding, flexible, accommodating and super helpful! Also can’t forget to give Violet a special mention too for making me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I visited a year ago. They recently did a little refurb with a new look but the quality of finish is not as good as expected…however, I go there for the Reformer classes which really is an excellent class with really fantastic instructors. I mainly train with LJ, Paris, Cami, Dana and Melissa who all have a different style, but have you leaving with that satisfying gym-ache, allowing you live and eat guilt-free!

Negative experience: Disgusting behaviour from staff. humiliated me for being 1 minute late to a pilates class and essentially told me to 'get lost' with no refund. was around 4 staff ganging up on me as i was by myself. DO NOT GO HERE

Fantastic experience: Great concept and good studio. Super responsive and enthusiastic staff - shoutout to Ruby, Matt, Vasi, Dom, G, Clementina and the rest of the team.

Fantastic experience: Clean and super workouts as always

Fantastic experience: My favourite location of all the 1Rebels! The front of house team are so so friendly and helpful. The schedule has some of the very best trainers that 1Rebel have on their books. Been coming here for 6 years and couldn’t imagine gymming anywhere else. Shout out Dev, Vasi & Ruby

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love working out here! I recently made the move from ClassPass to a 1rebel membership and it was the best decision! I do classes with Taylah, Clementina, Soulla and Vicky and couldn't rate them highly enough. I always feel so welcomed and looked after, especially by Ruby and LJ on reception who are beyond helpful. Big appreciation to the clean team, in particular Violet. Mornings wouldn't the same without a little post workout chat with her and the place is also ways gleaming. My fav gym in London x

Fantastic experience: My favourite studio of the 4 I visit is Holborn! Top reception team always with a big energetic smile. When Violet is cleaning the locker rooms are impeccable . Great work Team Holborn

Fantastic experience: Good size changing rooms as per the other 1Rebels. Easy to get to!

Positive experience: I have attended reformer classes at 1Rebel, Holborn during recent work trips to London & absolutely love it here! Clean gym with spacious, well equipped changing rooms. Love that you can pre-select your reformer upon booking & the super friendly vibe! The instructors who have led my classes were great reformer coaches. They led intense, but inclusive classes with positive instructor feedback provided at the end of each class. Looking forward to visiting again soon and perhaps trying ReShape. A couple of queries/downsides: -the reformers are very close to each other so it can feel rather cramped, especially when boxes are used on either side of the reformer -are the reformers/equipment cleaned between classes? I found it surprising that attendees are not asked to clean the equipment following use -I used the ‘refer a friend’ function. Neither of us received the associated perks linked with this. -it would be great if additional 1Rebel classes were also provided at this location. Would love to try the Ride (spin) class.

Fantastic experience: Sweat sweat sweat

Fantastic experience: I like the facilities and everyone was perfectly polite. Cold towels and water bottle rentals are very nice touches. Reformer class itself was ok. The instructor was attentive and her music was really good. All in all, a great experience. I would come again.

Negative experience: I’ve been a customer of 1Rebel for a while, but my recent experience was really frustrating. This review is for the Holborn office, as I dealt with them directly, but I think the issue is company-wide. I tried to use my two remaining sessions on 23rd November, the day before my package expired, but was told I couldn’t book them. Despite explaining this multiple times and providing proof of my attempt to book on time, I was still told I was too late. It feels like 1Rebel focuses more on enforcing rigid policies than helping customers. To make it worse, after raising my concerns, I never got a reply. I hope they take a more customer-focused approach in the future. P.S. Most of the coaches are not that good. Tom was great but I don't believe he works there anymore.

Negative experience: I personally haven’t been here. However, my girlfriend tells me she was randomly charged £45 for ‘no show sessions’ despite cancelling the sessions. She didn’t have proof she cancelled as she had removed herself from a waiting list or something. She spoke to staff at the desk and they wouldn’t refund her. Honestly it sounds like a huge scam, but I guess I can’t comment as I’ve never been.

Fantastic experience: Great workout, Great Location. They oder showers, towels, water bottles and everything you need!

Negative experience: unfriendly staff and unclear instruction

Positive experience: LOVE working out here but low score because their team seems incompetent when doing private bookings. It is a second year for us booking with them private events and whilst we managed to muster the patience last year and chase them constantly (as their events person just doesn’t bother to email or even call when she has agreed to call), this year we gave up sadly and decided to go with a different venue. It’s a true shame too, 1R charges a lot, wish that their customer service would reflect it just a bit.

Negative experience: I was disappointed with my experience at this studio. The instructor lacked friendliness which created an unwelcoming atmosphere. There was also little information provided for class preparation, leaving us feeling unprepared. The workout area was small and overcrowded, noisy environments, making it difficult to exercise comfortably. The facilities were outdated, locker doesn’t work properly, with only two toilets available in the changing room, resulting in long wait times.

Fantastic experience: Great workouts! Would recommend to anyone training for Hyrox. Really friendly FOH, especially Vasi.

Negative experience: I have booked the reformer class at this gym through class pass. I came to the class earlier today and have been told that I need a specific type of socks to attend the class. Apparently this requirement was written in the ‘about’ section in class pass but you had to scroll down and click on ‘read more’ to actually read it. The lady at reception told me that if I don’t have the specific socks, I could buy them from the gym. I did not and left the gym. I don’t care about the cost of the socks, but this whole treatment felt very wrong. I accept this being a requirement, but it needs to be written somewhere that people can actually see it. I was very disappointed by this, which set the whole vibe off for me. The information just seems suspiciously well hidden.

Fantastic experience: Reformer class was so great. The gym is also very clean.

Fantastic experience: Top notch instructors, great staff and always clean. Keep up the great work! Also offering water bottles and fresh towels is such a luxury which I absolutely love.

Fantastic experience: Intense class❤️

Fantastic experience: The best 1rebel location! FOH is always super friendly and willing to help, facilities are spot on and the whole space is designed brilliantly! For me there is no better place to work out in London!

Fantastic experience: Danny - front of house - 10/10! So lovely and welcoming and made me the best shake everrr. Abbie for reformer - great class! X

Negative experience: An instructor called Craig was soooo rude to me , I still can’t believe it I have never received such a bad treatment I would never go again

Fantastic experience: This is my go to! What a place! clean, staff friendly excellent classes I go for reformer Pilates . I just like the layout and the teachers are helpful. I haven’t been to an intermediate class yet! But I’ve been able to catch on pretty quick. I will be back, just to say the changing rooms are amazing and me being really noticeable, they even have products for Afro and Caribbean hair which is 10 out of 10 in my books. Also fresh towels and lovely toiletries to use. Thank you

Negative experience: Front of house is friendly and nice but Pilates instructor Erin isn’t. She is out of tempo, barely use Reformer machine. 95% of her programme is just body weight…with short pause. 80% of people in the class made a funny face but she still kept going without clue. Poor…It’s ok for workout but wrong purpose of the class; pilates REFORMER..45 mins with Gemma Lawson is like going to live concert but with Erin, it’s like going to the bad film that i wanted to leave asap. poor poor

Fantastic experience: Tried 1Rebel for the first time and loved it. I did the reformer Pilates class with Sophie and she was amazing.

Negative experience: The worst experience I had on reformer Pilates. The instructor didn’t notice my attendance and therefore didn’t give me an instruction. After she done the instruction for other member, she asked me to leave the class for missing my instruction. Totally wasted my time to make this commitment today. The receptionist is also not very helpful and flexible to reschedule classes or refund ClassPass points.

Positive experience: DON'T BE LATE! Given the setup and the nature of the class, I can understand why the doors need to be closed and latecomers not admitted. Fortunately, I was let in, but they gave a rather dismissive vibe,despite the circumstances being beyond my control. I've used these boards before, but still found the changeover between exercises very rushed, to the point of being stresssful. Not a lot of attention from the instructor to improve my form, but on the way out they did indicate that I had done a good job. The changing area is great: spacious, clean, large lockers, several showers, towel (from front desk) and plenty of product. There was even an iron and ironing board (in the men's at leaast)! Debating whether to go back though. Also remember to have grippy socks before arriving, purchasing there is expensive (£12.50 at time of writing)

Fantastic experience: Really challenging yet fun classes! Always enjoy coming here, staff are weloming and go above and beyond. I think I've got the 1Rebel bug...

Fantastic experience: Reformer with Tom is something to look forward too!! He is a fantastic instructor who gives clear instructions with advancements, if you feel brave enough. He pushes you to limits you didn't know were possible and I love it

Negative experience: Had my first reformer class there today which in itself was a decent workout BUT induction was a quick 60 seconds (after being told to be there early for an induction). Also, I think 1Rebel's business model is to hope people don't bring reformer socks (which are mandatory or you can't join the class) so you have to purchase them at a ridiculous price of £12 - £15 (more than lulu lemon!) I appreciate it states in your booking policy to bring socks or buy them at 1Rebel but perhaps make this more prominent and state the cost of your socks in-house (or better yet price them fairly). I was happy to buy them but was shocked at their rip off price. Not cool at all. On top of that I went with my brother who has been to many reformer classes (some more intense than this one) and has never had to wear special socks! Such a money making gimic in the guise of "health and safety".

Negative experience: Extremely disappointed with my recent experience at 1Rebel Holborn. The instructor, Bethany, lacks empathy and communication skills. And the manager, Nathan, is completely unresponsive. I would not recommend this gym.

Negative experience: Booked a reformer through class pass and as a first timer I needed to go through and induction. After the induction I let the instructor know of a recent injury and that I has never done reformer before. After he was surprised that it was my first time EVER he said that I should go to place with a slower pace that does not focus on the intensity and I would not be able to follow if I did not know what I was already doing. Eventually he said it was okay since I was already there but he does not recommend to start reformer at 1 rebel. This did not feel inclusive and actually felt really stressful so I left when I thankfully was prompted to get grip shocks after which the instructor reiterated that this is why 1 rebel was not for first timers as they have strict policies

Negative experience: The front desk and staff at One Rebel were really friendly. But, I had a bad experience because the pilates instructor named Tom , that wouldn't let me join the class just because I arrived at 4:42 and the class starts at 4:45 so he could "not give me instructions". However, I've done reformer pilates before, so I did not even need those instructions. It was my first time trying a class at One Rebel, and I was looking forward to it. But the instructor was rude, impolite and wouldn't let me in despite me explaining all of this to him. I think sports classes should be fun and relaxing, not stressful. It's a shame that this one instructor made my whole experience at One Rebel a disappointment. I hope they think twice before treating anyone else like this.

Fantastic experience: Really lovely place, supportive to first time people and will definitely be back

Fantastic experience: Went for a reformer class whilst I'm on holiday here in London, and it was the absolute highlight of my trip! Tom was my instructor and he was so welcoming, amazing and he made the class so fun. Facilities were clean and the reception staff was friendly too, would definitely recommend and return (on my next trip!)

Fantastic experience: Tried it out with classpass. Concept wasn’t for me personally, but it was well run, very friendly staff and top notch facilities

Positive experience: Facilities are very nice and well manteined/clean. I went there with classpass and I tried reformer pilates. I was a bit disappointed for the lack of information provided before the booking. Initial time for Induction, socks requirment, the lack of adaptation during the class. There is only one level. So you are able to perform the exercise only if you know already how to use a reformer pilates or you have a great fitness level, if not there aren't option to perform an exercise in an easier way. This is the first time I was in a class so discriminating(I was invited to leave the class since as for the trainer if I couldn't do the first exercise I wouldn't be able to do nothing else coming after, so had had no options and I left the class that was ok since I am using free classpass promo for January and I am very happy/welcomed in frame studios so I am OK with my self esteem ) on personal fitness level, not giving options, time to get comfortable with the equipment(although I do beginner reformer pilates in frame) . I probably had to look more into the concept of this studio because they are great in what they do, just this isn't a gym for everyone but for someone already fit and knowing how to train.

Fantastic experience: Regularly visit after work for reformer Pilates, shout out to Sophie for always being supportive and encouraging!

Fantastic experience: This is exactly what I've been looking for!!! Not generally used to this "genre" of gym venue with the lights/music/industrial interior etc so was slightly worried the vibe would be intimidating - but the staff are so friendly and the reformer class was great, both fun and challenging. Loads of class times, close to work for those in the theatre industry, and my ideal workout.

Fantastic experience: Tom is by far the best reformer instructor. His classes are well designed and very challenging. You can tell he’s an expert and he will guide you through every single movement so that you can get the most of it

Fantastic experience: Tried Pilates for the first time yesterday with a friend. The instructor Fabia was really welcoming and friendly and was great at balancing easy to follow demos and taking individual time for people who needed it, She also gave great options to make things harder and to take breaks for those who were struggling on exercises and was very encouraging to us all. I'd definitely come back :)

Negative experience: London’s worst studio about behaviour!! I wanted to join reformer class, i had reservation already, I was there 5 mins before the start time and the class door was open. But instructer (Tori or Tory) rejected me to join the class bcs this was my first time in Rebel and I had to be there 15mins before. I explained I’m already a pilates instructer and aware of the principles, I did reformer hundred times, but she showed me the door and ask me out like an army soldier! Guys, we do sport for relaxing, we plan our days for the sessions, and the ego of one instructer destroy it. I never behaved to my students like this and never seen this kind of behaviour before in other studios. Who they think themselves? Ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous!! Do you think that losing one person isn’t necessary?? With this approach they will lost many I believe.

Fantastic experience: Best pilates ive ever done

Fantastic experience: Tried the Reshape class, utterly exhausting but in the best way. Wasn't really 100% sure what I was going in for but it was easy to follow and still very intense. Big dopamine high after. Instructor was great, facilities were clean, receptionist staff were all nice. I like a dark loud workout room so this was right up my street. Will absolutely be back.

Fantastic experience: Really great Pilates reformers class one of the top I’ve been to in London so far.

Fantastic experience: Amazing reformer class! Make sure to be on time to get to know the machine if it's your first time. Another level of reformer, fast paced and you'll leave here sweating

Fantastic experience: Five stars for Ruby, Cameron and Kate for five star service every time! These guys are all fantastic, friendly, professional and always go above and beyond (genuinely puts some of the other clubs to shame). Thank you for always making the 1R experience a joy!

Fantastic experience: I truly love this place. Best reformer classes you can find in town. Super friendly team that greats with big smile when you enter the door. Dev and Ruby are super helpful and lovely receptionist. Thank you for being just so kind.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic workouts at 1Rebel. Classes always start on time. Amazing trainers. Great ambience...Great changing room and facilities.

Fantastic experience: amazing facilities ! great teacher and super clean changing rooms ! always look forward to my visits ! pilates for me :)

Fantastic experience: The FOH staff at Holborn are awesome! They recognize their regular members by name and are always courteous in helping you with any queries you might have. I start every Friday morning at Holborn Reshape with Andy. His classes are always challenging and energetic! Andy is one of the best Reshape/HIIT coaches in London and all around great guy. Holborn also has a PT studio that is fantastic for those looking for PT options. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, challenging classes and really supportive instructors. The front of house team are lovely as well!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in London! Lovely FOH, clean facilities and towel service and the trainers are all phenomenal!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and nice front desk team. Reshape was an intense workout, definitely adjustable to various levels to get an endorphins building workout wherever you are,

Fantastic experience: i like the vibe and the instructor is very encouraging. the best reformer pilate i have been so far.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, lovely vibes from FOH and BOH. One big Rebel family. The studio has recently been refurbished to accommodate Reformer which looks like pilates on a mad night out. Looking forward to trying it.

Fantastic experience: This is the friendliest 1Rebel studio in London! The staff are just wonderful— never change! The changing rooms are big and easy to get around in and the workout classes are really fun. Highly recommend Jono, he’s a great trainer and has a fantastic energy. Beginners do not shy away! This space can really build you up:)

Fantastic experience: Brilliant class - came as a one off with a friend visiting london and it was amazing. Super good instructor (Gemma) who brought ENERGY to the class, we loved it

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the reformer class as well as the smoothie!

Fantastic experience: Really like this gym - it’s clean, the studios have a good vibe, the music gets me pumped in the morning and I feel like I’ve accomplished something before heading to work!

Fantastic experience: It is amazing. Reformer instructors are so helpful and you can take your time with the exercises if you are struggling. Hiit classes are great too, although some treadmills are noisier. I definitely recommend

Positive experience: I love this class and all the 1rebel location so much - I am just very angry with the late policy. I was 2 min late to a class and could not get in. Sometimes London traffic gets in the way unexpectedly and I live 45 min so I always leave my house very early enough to get there. Not being able to get in a class just because my bus had a deviation on route has me so incredibly angry. We pay so much money for classes at 1rebel the least you would expect is some sort of flexibility on people who need to commute to be able to make a class

Fantastic experience: My absolute go to gym for many years now. I just love a good Reshape and the studio recently added Reformer Pilates to the mix. Holborn‘s FOH is always friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Best 1rebel branch, it is super clean and the equipment is brand new. The trainers are all amazing! Every time going there, feel like a treat!

Fantastic experience: I think her name was Dev, she provided amazing service and was absolutely amazing!!! There also was another lady, her name began with N, and made the best smoothie ever!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, my partner and I are regulars, we also never miss a lunch session with Bryony!

Fantastic experience: Really excellent studio and instructors. Always feel inspired after a class. Also really friendly FOH staff. Was served today by a very helpful staff member Nathan, who made the best smoothie!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Lizzie and Calum - Holborn (apologies in advance if I have misspelled your names) Talk about going above and beyond for your guest! My first time at the Holborn studio and I was worried I wasn’t going to make the 10am reshape class. Approaching 2mins before my class, Lizzie and Calum were determined to get me in on time and in fact Calum went outside to help direct me to the studio. I made it into class bang on 10:00 - all thanks to these guys! Super thank you

Negative experience: Very unpleasant experience with 1Rebel, the monthly contract was automatically billed and there is no way for you to cancel the package on the application. I have the impression that they are trying every possible way to rip you off. And the staff was not helpful. Don’t recommend it at all.

Fantastic experience: From facilities, welcoming & helpful staff to great trainers. Great vibe overall. A++

Fantastic experience: Julie on reception is so helpful and friendly! Always great to hear a smiley and happy voice down the phone!

Fantastic experience: Great classes and facilities.

Fantastic experience: One of the best hiit workouts in London

Fantastic experience: Love the style of this studio, and as always with 1Rebel you get a fantastic workout with wonderful trainers and staff.
