    Wonderful service by Alessandro and the team, this gym is seriously fantastic and the equipment has been perfectly selected. I adore the pool and the spa, it is so lovely and relaxing and the lap pool is great if you want to kick it up a notch. I wish I could attend the classes but my timetable doesn't allow - however I am sure they are fantastic also. I start PT with Aliz next week and I can't wait, I heard she is brilliant. Thank you so much Nordic Balance!

    What a relief to have this gem of a fitness centre back open. It has been carefully planned with safety in mind. I had a great PT session earlier with Alessandro.

    A great gym with a great team. From the moment I had my first class I knew I was in the right place! It's very hard to find a gym that ticks all the boxes and Nordic Balance does just that. Thanks guys, top marks from me...

    The staff at Nordic Balance are all super personable and lovely. They make going there feel like visiting friends - they call you by name and make it a wonderful experience. I have gone there for personal training, osteopathy and massage and have always been pleased with the experience. Highly recommended!

    Nordic Balance has got to be the best gym I have ever signed up to. Not only are the facilities and classes amazing, but the staff are so friendly and helpful. The quality of the personal training is just exceptional! This year I have been able to achieve my fitness goals and I don't think I would have done it without the Nordic Balance team. A special mention to my PT Aliz, who has been amazing this year. Would highly recommend to all!

    I loved the light filled space in Abeville Road it feels calm and serene. The space for class is for only 5 people which feels intimate. I tried the baby and mum yoga class and the teacher was great, moved through a gentle but effective flow with useful tips on how to engage with baby while having a workout. Great facilities and super clean. It’s fine if you have to stop and attend to your baby and come back to it. I only managed half class today and still felt amazing. Will be back!

    Laura is wonderful Therapist. I try and get a few sports massages each year. She is so knowledgeable in regards to her work. I'd highly recommend Laura as she's an excellent Physio Therapist, but most of all a very "down to earth " Scottish lady :)

    Everyone was very friendly at Nordic. Ben, my chiropractor, was very knowledgeable and took time to make sure he identified the problem. Great treatment and exercises given. Highly recommended!

    These guys are my hero’s - not all hero’s wear Lycra! These guys wear sports clothes and masks. They have helped to heal my spine. Without these guys I would have been in a wheelchair for 6 months.

    I have had such a positive experience with the whole team at Nordic Balance St James after never having done any sport or exercise and feeling very self conscious about starting. I couldn't recommend the team more highly and Ben, Andreea and Dean have been wonderful. 3 months on I'm still thoroughly enjoying every minute!

    Nordic Balance is far and away the best gym I have ever encountered. The personal trainers are all highly experienced and professional, the many classes are well designed and fun in a pulse busting way, and members have the benefit of an army of yoga instructors, physios, chiropractors and sports rehabilitation therapists. The team is welcoming and friendly, and the whole thing is ably, pleasantly and efficiently administrated. A top place!

    I was apprehensive about the gym having gotten the tour, but the customer service provided by Ben was perfect, it’s the kind of customer service you get when people actually care and Ben certainly does. The personal training I got from Dmitri and Phil was also perfect. They worked around my injuries and even helped me figure out one of them. 10/10 highly recommended.

    I work nearby and returned from maternity leave with no time and need for some personal training. I'm so pleased I reached out to Nordic Balance and met the wonderful team there. Such a hidden gem! Everyone is so friendly and kind - including the members! Very rare in Mayfair! My trainer, Liz, is helping me exactly how I need to be helped and I look forward to my sessions every week. Having an assessment with Laura was so insightful. Also huge thanks to Alessandro for showing me round the club in the first place. Super happy with every aspect of the experience. Thank you all!

    I love Petra’s Yin class on Thursday evenings. She is very professional and caters to her students’ needs. The yoga poses stretch our bodies well and I always feel super relaxed afterwards.

    I'm very active and regularly compete in sports - playing Football and competitively Boxing. As expected, there's a heavy demand on my body and a fundamental part of competing is keeping the body fine-tuned and learning how to recover and strengthen injuries. The Physio (Jean Vincent) and Osteopathy (Andy) have both helped me work through rehab (rotator cuff injuries, lower back injuries) and educated me on better ways to push my performance. Always recommended to friends and team-mates.

    Laura did an amazing job. She quickly understood my problem and patiently explained the process to me. I had immediate relief from the pain and I highly recommend this place for anyone who is suffering from chronic/acute pain!

  • 5/5 Will L. 1 year ago on Google
    Chris is very professional and experienced, he gave clear direction and guidance to help me achieve my recovery goals. I would 100% recommend to anyone needing a 'best in class' sports physiotherapy.

  • 5/5 William K. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been to see Chris Bond for a couple of injuries. On both occasions, he has guided me back to full fitness. Chris is highly informed on the science and has a practical and effective approach to rehabilitation. Would recommend!

  • 5/5 Barnaby C. 4 months ago on Google
    Diagnosed the fault quickly and accurately and then proposed a short term treatment and self help plan that has resolved my long standing injury.

  • 5/5 My A. 10 months ago on Google
    I've been using Nordic Balance for quite a while now, and I've seen Jean Vincent regularly for many many years. He's a fantastic physio, knows exactly how to treat aches and pains. Such a shame he's leaving. London's loss is Barcelona's gain! I wish him well.

  • 5/5 steph b. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff at Nordic Balance are amazing! I just had dry needling session with the lovely 'Laura' and she was brilliant. So professional and really put me at ease. I will definitely be returning soon for a 2nd session.

  • 5/5 Ashraf J. 6 months ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Gina and I can't speak highly enough of her expertise and care. She was incredibly attentive and displayed an impressive level of knowledge. With ease, she assessed my posture and identified issues with my neck and back. Her skillful approach not only identified the problem but also successfully rectified my issue. I left feeling noticeably better and more confident in my overall well-being. I highly recommend Gina for anyone seeking professional and effective osteopathic care. Thank you for making a positive impact on my health!

  • 5/5 Jesse K. 6 months ago on Google
    Gina has been treating my 'crunchy' shoulder and I now have much more movement and less pain. I was also seen at the clapham branch (I would have happily continued but I couldn't a time in my diary). Both are clean and professional and all osteopaths and staff have been kind and friendly

  • 5/5 Eva K. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently started seeing Ben to treat my neck / shoulder pain and shin splints and was really impressed by the work. Ben has a holistic approach that included manipulations, strength and conditioning work as well as sports psychology. I really appreciated the personalised approach which has helped me to not only be pain free and overcome my injury, but also become a better and more confident athlete for the long-term. Ben was honest and transparent about the timelines and found exactly the right way to communicate the plan to me. He'll be my go to person in the future. Can't recommend him enough.

  • 5/5 Mathieu P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing professionals and service - quality and effectiveness of the treatments

  • 5/5 Georgia S. 5 months ago on Google
    I was treated by Kaylee over 3 sessions and she swiftly identified a few problem areas, provided me exercises to work through at home and was clear she wanted to see me only a handful of times to leave me with the tools following our sessions, which was hugely reassuring. I came in with back problems but she helped identify the route cause including hips and ankles and was a great mix of analysis, exercises and sport massage. She also helped advise on pilates exercises and how to continue with the exercise I enjoy Can't recommend Kaylee highly enough!

  • 5/5 James Just N. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend chiropractor Ben Breen. The adjustments have really helped with my posture. He has shown me some useful exercises and stretches to keep things going between visits. Super grateful!

  • 5/5 Lina H. 1 year ago on Google
    Ben Breen is incredibly knowledgable, personable and professional. He is passionate about what he does and has helped me find relief from pain as well as equipping me with tools for long term self-management.

  • 5/5 Simon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding holistic approach to fitness, health and treating injuries. Their joined-up approach at Nordic Balance has helped me immensely in addressing some lingering injuries. The treatment plan overseen by Ben has literally been life-changing.

  • 5/5 Sophie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Couldn’t recommend JV enough - his technical expertise, guidance & patience for rehab on my ankle has been brilliant. His friendly & fun approach similar to all staff at Nordic Balance makes each visit such a pleasant experience.

  • 5/5 kieran h. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience working with physio Chris, very patient and progressive with each task. Regained strength, power, flexibility and stability in my injured shoulder. Highly recommend Chris and the team he works with, absolute pleasure.

  • 5/5 Sony G. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff here are fantastic. They are friendly, professional & efficient. Ben who is usually on the front desk is very welcoming, chatty and helpful. I have had 10 sessions with the wonderful Jean Vincent (JV) who has the most charming French accent. He has done an incredible job with the mobility of both of my shoulders. He is always encouraging, enthusiastic & personable. He has a ton of experience & is always so patient with me but pushes me to do that little bit more when doing the exercises. He even gave me a written schedule of how to approach my skipping exercises which was thoughtful & sweet as it had nothing to do with the issue I was there for & he was receiving payment for, but he genuinely cares about his clients. We chit chat about a ton of different stuff during my appointments which is lovely.I also had a session with Chris when JV was on holiday & he was great too. Great team of people from the chaps on the upstairs reception too.

  • 5/5 Tim F. 1 year ago on Google
    Working with Ben has been brilliant, I feel that I'm getting the best technical advice and work out for my rehab whilst having a good laugh at the same time

  • 5/5 Mark W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service from Nordic balance and would highly recommend JV to anyone seeking a physio. Treatment plan is clear, concise and tailored to your person needs.

  • 5/5 Lionel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend Ben for both chiropractic and sports rehab. Ben gave adjustments and exercises for lower back pain which helped almost immediately - and followed up with a perfect balance; chiro, physical rehab, and education. His focus on addressing the source of the issue and strengthening for future is key - completely pain free after two months and 100% down to his skills and expertise. Don't look anywhere else for a chiro - Ben's your guy

  • 5/5 Bernard G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent Physiotherapy at a clinic in a very convenient location. Friendly helpful professionals

  • 5/5 Angéla I. 2 years ago on Google
    Recommended 👍 Nice, attending staff, got lots on info about how certain muscles work& the way they all connected, many advices. next week- next treatment, can't wait

  • 5/5 Marco B. 4 years ago on Google
    I tried Nordic Balance at the Naval & Military Club for the 1st time this week. After much walking over the last few days (weeks) I decided that my muscles deserved a treat. Laura gave me the most fantastic "Sports Massage" ever ! It hurt, but that's what its all about :-) She is an expert masseuse and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Laura !

  • 5/5 Lucas 4 years ago on Google
    I go to Nordic Balance in order to use their gym facilities, use their squash court (lessons with Jaymie Haycocks), and Osteopathy services (Andy Mansfield). Regarding Osteopathy, Andy is fantastic -- he takes his time to explain his observations, how he plans to address the issue, and to answer any questions. He is also very careful throughout the session. He was extraordinarily helpful in addressing my costochondritis -- I will definitely continue to go to Andy for osteopathy sessions, and would recommend him hands down. Regarding Squash, Jaymie is a great instructor: patient, clear communicator, and knows how to push you in order to improve. When thinking of squash lessons, I will definitely continue returning to Jaymie for instruction. Regarding the gym itself: although small in size, the gym is well equipped, is always clean, and the staff are great
