Gym Fitness center

👍 Good gym for the price. My only gripe is the fact the equipment is often sweaty from previous use but there are no wipes, spray or kitchen roll in the gym to wipe the surface. This is a huge shame, especially given they had multiple sprays around the gym during covid. People often mention equipment, clean, good, friendly, great, helpful, staff, classes, time, love,

    Has improved MASSIVELY in the last year! I’ve been coming to this gym for the last 4 years and tbh I’ve never felt comfortable, it had quite a hostile atmosphere, wasn’t very clean and no one seemed to care. But in the last year, since we’ve got a new manager - Luke Lanigan, I’ve noticed a lot of positive changes in our gym. It’s very clean, there is more equipment and the staff is really trying to make a difference. I have to say, I’ve never seen anybody clean around the gym or sort out the equipment in the previous years. Not even mentioning cleaning the ventilation and things like that. We’ve asked and they installed a mirror and provided free hygiene products in the changing rooms. There were a lot of different events with giveaways and challenges, that created a friendly atmosphere and connected people. The Instagram account of the gym was constantly updated and for the first time in 4 years I haven’t missed the info about closing up for a deep clean (and didn’t show up on the day, to find out that it’s closed…). The staff is very friendly,supportive and always trying to help as much as they can. I’ve had a few sessions with a PT, that were amazing. The gym is large and well equipped. Some things go out of use but they are fixed very quickly (and we have plenty other ones anyway). Very happy and I hope that the quality and the atmosphere will stay the same!

    I used to go to this gym back in the day. It's very clean and well-equipped but overselling their memberships made working out virtually impossible with so many people at once. That's what made me look for an alternative. Once I also encountered a rude and condescending personal trainer who nearly ordered me to give her my space where I had my exercise mat because she was training a client.

    i love this gym. it's clean, and i can always find equipment i want to use. it's spacious with two floors. the far away female toilet stall is good for crying. there is almost always at least one type of genuinely yum yum protein cookie in the vending machine.once in a while you can find a receipt in the dressing room and know what a fellow gym patron bought at claire's. all the trainers are nice and love to flip their hair out of their way before they do things. only nice surprises happen here.

    Lovely gym and amazing classes. Lots of natural light coming through during the day which is really nice. I started going more often to the classes they offer. John and Ellen have been really great. John's classes are intense but they are totally worth it. I highly recommend the abs blast class with him. And Ellen does a really good lower body workout in legs, bums and tums. Overall great gym.

    Really good gym with good equipment. Cheap price for what you get and there are also really good free classes towards the membership. I definitely recommend since it's also open 24/7

    This is my gym. However, I cannot give them the five stars because they have suppressed almost all the sanitisation points they have put at the disposal of the customers during the pandemic. The pandemic passed but the virus with all its variants is here to stay. In that regard is very dissapointing to walk all around the gym facilities to find a piece of tissue and a spray to clean the machines and other equipment used by other customers visible full of sweat and other fluids. In a few words, put at the disposal of the customers the sanitisation items and points again.

    Simple and well equipped gym. Love the off peak rate for only 16.95£/month. Moved to this gym after quitting Anytime fitness who suddenly raised their price

  • 2/5 Rayzorsharp 1. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality of service and facilities has gone down alot in the past few months. I'm fully aware that the cost of living has gone up and is effecting everyone and businesses alike, but to start turning off the air conditioning at peak times and leaving the gym like a sweat box sauna is now a risk to health and safety. Also now they are skin flinting on the blue roll and have stopped supplying it altogether, when it is even more needed now with everyone sweating all over the place due to the lack of air conditioning. Also with covid still being around I think that this cutback during these times, in hygienic facilities is disgraceful especially since they even up the monthly gym fee recently.

    One of the gyms that I feel comfortable when I workout. Big space with high ceiling, clean and friendly staff. Also thank Richard for very friendly and helpful about my membership.

  • 4/5 Josiane S. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    I met Reece today and he was already helping another client and a new person at the gym and then me on a technical issue. I appreciated his help, friendliness and good energy. As for the gym itself, it's dirty and the WiFi isn't good. But the machines work and there's a lot of space. And you can get good deals on membership at the right time.

    Very big gym that's spacious so even when it's busy you don't feel it 😊. Multiples of each machine so if one's busy your more likely to find it somewhere else

  • 5/5 Kyle H. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Great gym with all of the equipment you would ever need! Even though I was using a guest pass, Azizul was incredible helpful and showed me a new stretch for my shoulder which has helped so much! Please can Azizul let me know what its called so I can check it out online to use again :)

    I've been going to The Gym Lewisham for 10 years since I moved to the neighbourhood. It's spacious, with highly ceiling, plenty of natural light - which sets it aparts from other gyms and is important for wellbeing I believe. Staff are friendly and helpful, highly recommended.

    Great gym to go in the early morning, equipment is great but it does seem to get flooded quite often which is the main reason I went with the 3 star review for this particular gym group. But on that note its a good gym for the price you pay.

  • 5/5 Lucy S. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Very clean and friendly gym, great equipment selection for a very reasonable price - best price point for London. Feel very safe as a woman working out here and positive environment from staff.

  • 5/5 Debbie O. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I’ve been coming to this gym for a few months now & the vibe and atmosphere is 10/10. I wanna personally thank Richard & Azizul for making my time there not so daunting and extremely enjoyable ☺️

  • 5/5 Debra J. 1 year ago on Google
    Really pleased with this gym! Clean, large, well equipped and the nice guy on duty this morning at 8am was VERY helpful. Thank you !!!!

  • 5/5 Fergus P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very large clean gym, friendly atmosphere. Stuff to wipe down machines etc, vending machines, water and everything you need in a gym. Never waited long for a machine, been going for 3 months and love it. The staff are great and very helpful, Especially Nick who’s always Cracking jokes. Helped me on my first leg day. 10/10 so far.

  • 5/5 Sean �. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the gym. They have done away with the clocks which is a bummer and also lots of the hygiene they had in place during the height of the pandemic unfortunately such as the spray and wipes. Lots of equipment and classes

  • 5/5 Julfiker A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best gym in the area so far as they have all the machines and military bars you can think of. Waiting time is short on peak time and on off peak times everything is free!!! There are 2 floors and a space for stretching.

  • 5/5 Cigdem A. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't been to a gym in years and at the age of 49 took up exercise...the gym is ok, clean...Good equipment etc. But what I love the most are the instructors. They are so nice and helpful. I enjoy the classes, Gilano, Jordan, Emmeka and Nick are super...they run well structured classes. No judgment to anyone...thank you guys!!!

  • 5/5 Jade B. 1 year ago on Google
    My go to gym, I haven’t changed up. The PT staff there now are really lovely especially Jordan always helps me with my equipment, keeps me motivated, I’ve been going to this gym for ages but never really spoke to someone so having Jordan never fail to say hello is nice! Nick is very funny see him if I go in the mornings. Most of them say hello to me whenever I come in. Gym is clean too which is nice and set up is great.

  • 5/5 Magnus W. 2 months ago on Google New
    Great gym, everything you need and not too busy if you avoid rush hour. Best value around.

  • 5/5 Cebotari A. 2 months ago on Google New
    I e been coming here for a year or so. I have to say Richard and Az are really helpful. The gym group Lewisham is the best gym in Lewisham and the world.

  • 5/5 Cam’ron A. 2 months ago on Google New
    Been coming to this gym for a while! Reece is always accommodating and ensuring the correct techniques are used during the workouts and providing me with great advice to help me with my fitness journey.

  • 2/5 Drew W. 1 year ago on Google
    Over the past few months there has been an obvious problem with leaks and flooding. The floor is constantly wet and there is mould starting to seep through in between mats. I realise this is likely a problem with the building but it would be better to close for a period and get it properly sorted. I'm sure whoever built the building is to blame and hopefully costs can be reclaimed from these dodgy builders.

  • 5/5 Dawud K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Staff are always polite, equipment is in good condition, and the gym is clean! Been using GymGroup Lewisham for 6 months, and had a great experience so far!

  • 5/5 Oleg B. 5 months ago on Google
    I use the gym everyday besides Sunday and its a very positive and welcoming environment. I’m able to train at whatever time without being judged and there’s always helpful staff if I ever need help. Would reccomend

  • 5/5 Brian C. 3 months ago on Google New
    I’ve been working out at The gym group Lewisham for 2 months now, they have good enough equipments for all purposes and a wide free space for whatever exercise you’re doing. Good friendly staff and free classes as well

  • 5/5 Simona F. 5 months ago on Google
    I have recently just join this gym and Reece has kindly introduced me to all the machines and created a tailored program that will help me meet my goals. Such a professional, I will make sure to recommend him and this location to all my friends.

  • 5/5 Simon H. 4 months ago on Google
    This is by far the best gym in the Lewisham area with top equipment, an amazing manager (Moyo) and a welcoming atmosphere. The team are ultra-hardworking and friendly, with personal trainer Leha being patient and able to get excellent results for those looking to build body strength.

  • 5/5 Jonny T. 8 months ago on Google
    I really enjoy going to this gym, it’s always clean and there’s plenty of available equipment to use. The staff are super friendly, especially Ellen who helped me sign up and has given me some amazing workout tips!

  • 2/5 Lianne S. 1 year ago on Google
    Left this gym recently, management changed and too many staff turn overs. The last management made such great progress and the vibe changed when they left - I just felt really uncomfortable. The signs at front threatening to take away memberships with a tally chart is an odd welcome to the gym. Place gets messy and overcrowded during peak times. Best trainers and classes left. Constant moving of equipment for new management to make their mark was getting annoying too. Has a fair amount of equipment but considering size of space not always room to stretch or use mats.

  • 4/5 Lillo M. 7 months ago on Google
    Really good assistance, specially from the coach Leya!!! She is so amazing and helpful person and such good skills communications. On Easter time i was struggling with the water machine and she has the amazing patience to explain in details and help me sort it out any doubts!! I love Lewisham the gym group, amazing machines and huge space… the team is lovely people!! The only inconvenience that i found all the time is on upstairs, once I started my abs session or whatever workout, I need to go downstairs to use toilet, because they do not have facilities unisex toilets upstairs apart for women, which make a bit hard for men all the time in the middle of session required to stop and go downstairs to use the facilities services. I would love to advise if they could install an unisex upstairs to avoid those inconvenience. The rest is fine.

  • 5/5 Jerome M. 7 months ago on Google
    Moyà is really helpful and professional and helps everyone around the gym. And always gives us good advise

  • 5/5 Brooke K. 7 months ago on Google
    PT Ellen is so encouraging. I have never met a PT like her. She is firm but the most loveliest person I have ever met. I have seen so much progress in not only my body but my mental health since I started training with her. Best Coach ever!!!

  • 5/5 Team D. 8 months ago on Google
    Signed up a week ago, I've attended a few classes to get back into moving again and I must say that the trainers are awesome and super friendly. Had a really fun session today with Ellen Clout to loosen the stiffness! Very clean and spacious gym

  • 5/5 Aaron C. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a great session the other day and was greeted warmly by Ellen! She gave me some very useful tips about my squats and I can already tell she is a great personal trainer! Even in our brief interaction she was so encouraging and pushing me out of my comfort zone! Just the motivation I needed!

  • 5/5 Arnaud C. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi. Just mentioning that the shower are running with cold water. Maybe it is the boiler that need a check, maybe it is a new policy. Any chances, you could bring me up to speed. I love a shower after a workout. Thanks

  • 5/5 Conan L. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Great gym! Staff are helpful, friendly, and professional! It’s clean, there’s a lot of natural light that comes in which is great. It’s spacious and has all the top quality kit you will need. The only thing missing is a heavy bag! Please install one gym group!

  • 5/5 Gervis M. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Loving my very local and friendly gym. Thank you Gym Group Lewisham for providing a clean and energising place to work on improving my fitness. Great equipment, friendly managers and PT who are attentive and helpful. The gym is across two floors and has a good range of cardio and weights machines, free weights, mirrors and other equipment like kettlebells, sandbags etc (sorry don’t know all the names) In fact my whole family are regular attendees and we thank you for the hard work that you put in to this gym, much appreciated.
