    24 treadmills, loads of bikes, two punch bags but only one bench press?!?! Weight section is an afterthought. You can never get one of the 4 small benches because there’s usually a queue 2-3 deep to use one. If you do manage to get a bench then you’re constantly being hassled by another member because they are in the same boat and just want to get their workout done. Staff just sit at the front on their phones all the time. It’s a waste of time coming here because you can never use the equipment or get a full workout in. The place is also generally quite filthy but I guess the staff don’t notice/care because they never leave reception. God forbid they say hi when you walk in, they don’t even look up from their phones half the time. There are so many other better gyms in the area I have no idea why anybody would go here.

    Me and my boyfriend signed up for a month membership and were told to sign up online as we did while standing in front of them. We asked if we could cancel it or if it would cancel automatically and Ahmet told us that we had to cancel before end of the month. Now we are here 4 days before the end of our monthly membership and are told by Klaudia that we had to cancel 2 weeks in advance and that we could have cancelled it right when we signed up. No one informed us properly at that time and we really feel manipulation.

    Really friendly staff and a good crowd who go here. Only giving three stars because the place really needs some TLC - new/fixed equipment, new/fixed lockers, a fresh coat of paint of the walls to cover where it's peeling. This could be a really great gym, and the staff do a fantastic job, the facilities let it down in my opinion.

    I love my home gym in Leyton I’ve been attending here now for atleast 5 years!!! And that speaks for itself. I travel to get here too. Variety of equipment which is what I love, amazing classes, and a great sauna / steam room to go and relax in after a long sweaty workout. Lovely 😊 I love the atmosphere and it’s a great friendly environment ; like a big family here and it’s always good vibes. Andy and Andrew are both great members of staff ; they always welcome me with a big smile and just tip top customer service. Always very helpful. I love my gym and I don’t think I’ll be leaving.

    Thinking about joining as local to me. Quite impressed with facilities. Looks like it will be busy at the usual peak times. But where there is will there is a way !

    Very clean, friendly staff. The general manager Andy has done a great job with the club. Good range of classes, parking available in the retail park for up to 3 hours. Steam room, sauna facilities and changing rooms are very clean. Good clientele compared to neighbouring clubs. In general a club i would happily sign up to!

    It was my first visit there. The gym is very spacious. Has a very good variety of cardio and resistance equipment. Also there are hanging boxing bags which I love. The toilet facilities are well maintained and are kept to a good hygiene standard. I would recommend this gym to anyone. I haven't explored the classes they have available there, so I can't make any comment. It's a good gym.

    I don't consider it a gym, I consider it more of a room where you can run on the treadmill or on bikes, in the area with free weights there is only a bench press, 👎👎

    Fantastic gym with great staff. Before pandemic I used the central London clubs and none of them were ever as good as Leyton. The gym is spacious with loads of equipment and the manager Andy always makes sure that the gym is clean and members enjoy their experience. Good vibes all around.

    Great gym with a good atmosphere. My only gripe is that it will be closing to be changed to a Gym Group gym, with no sauna or steam room facilities later this year

  • 1/5 Ahsan J. 2 years ago on Google
    I just started gym when the corona lockdown opened and joined the membership. No one told me that it is a 12 month contract and I can’t cancel it without paying the fee or anything. The gym closed straight after 15 days I started and paid £45 for joining and one month fee in advance. When the gym closed I cancelled my membership and stop the DD BUT now when gym opened again they started to send me text/emails that i have got payment in arrears. I mean for what I haven’t been using gym and they telling me to pay for not using the gym. After all this Me telling them that i cancelled membership and the DD still had to pay £74 for nothing. Very unprofessional and disappointed during this time of pandemic they doing this instead of giving some relaxation.

  • 1/5 Yasmina VAN DE P. 3 years ago on Google
    Gym was good until I wanted to cancel my membership. Has anyone else had poor communication and issues when cancelling their membership? I've been waiting since July 25th. I keep chasing them up. I just wish they kept me informed with their process and the refund. They were very keen for me to join, always chasing up and calling but no support when you really need it.

    FF Leyton is a really good gym for new starters. Antonio and Andrew have been very helpful from the start but all of the staff are good. Gym could do with some new equipment. Classes are fantastic. Klaudia and bret David adam too love this gym make me feel like home , will miss you guys ❤️ Why are you running lol

    I love love love this gym. It has such a lovely community feel to it and the classes are always to a high standard. I have been coming to this gym for years now and I have to say a special thank you to Natalie, the new manager in charge of classes. She really listens to our comments, be it good or bad, and actions our requests. As a result, the classes are getting better and more varied so there is something for everyone! It is so refreshing to be listened to! All the staff are amazing, smiley and helpful! Keep up the good work everyone and thank you!!

    Would have given it a five star if there was enough gym equipments. Lovely member of staff. They do have steam and sauna, which is one reason the expensive price.. However, it is desirable to have enough gym equipments for busy periods since the monthly price is 10-15£ more then other fitness chains.

    The gym is in a large retail park. It is a very large gym with lots exercise machines. The place is spacious and the main gym floor has a effective layout . On the downside, they no longer provide towels , the mens changing room are a bit antiquated- more akin to 1980’s public baths. Further the mixed steam and sauna could really do with a refresh - wooden paneling refit etc so to bring it up to FF standard.

    If I could give more stars, I would. I mainly do spinning, but the gym has a good choice of classes and plenty of equipment on the gym floor. All the staff are always friendly and helpful. My PT, Basia, is literally the best trainer I could have hoped for. Every session is always hard, but fun. She is so patient when I’m lacking motivation and always encourages me to push myself harder. She has helped my mindset in so many ways. Her knowledge, experience and passion is second to none. I would recommend anyone, who is looking to get fitter and stronger, to speak with Basia. It’s the best decision Iv ever made.

    Its a decent sized gym, busy, generally well kept and the staff are all without any question helpful. No hesitation at all in recommending this place to anyone. Well worth the money and parking is great. Cleaners always smiling and the Manager walks around the place all the time while wiping machines down.

    I have been a member of this gym since 2018 and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else now. It is clean and tidy with a good amount of cardio equipment and weights. Most important though is the lovely and friendly team. The trainers are incredibly dedicated and knowledgeable, and the gym staff like Andrew, George and Klaudia make training there a happy and positive experience.
