Very good old school bodybuilding gym in East London. Everything you'd expect from that with pictures of pro bodybuilders around and a lot of different machines and freeweights. There's also a boxing gym upstairs which is really cool. Staff here are very friendly and helpful. There's a charge for the lockers (20p) but if you don't have that, the staff have on many occasions given me the money to use the lockers. They have clean changing rooms and shower space.. this however is communal and may not be to everyone's taste but I'm generally fine with that so not a problem personally. They sell clothing and supplements at the counter and protein rich meals for after workout refuelling. It's a mixed gym as well ladies and you see a lot of females using the gym. They seem to be comfortable and haven't noticed any guys being inappropriate. For guys who may feel like these type of gyms are intimidating, there's all sorts of fitness levels at this gym but obviously there's going to be a lot of really fit big guys who have been working on thier guns a lot longer. I think this is inspiring which is why I joined to push myself further. (I still hold my commercial gym membership) There's also a lot of personal trainers about as well if you need guidance and help with your sessions. I am currently using a personal trainer Timothy Timi, and he's very good and knowledgeable.

Visiting from the US and wanted a bodybuilding gym, this was a great find! Day pass is only $6.50 USD. There’s plenty of equipment (main level chest and back/arms, upper half is a leg room, other half is a boxing room and cardio equipment). The staff were all very helpful, welcoming and friendly! Locker rooms/restrooms upstairs are small, but there’s a womens and mens single stall downstairs too. It was a good environment, hard workers all around.

This gym is old-school greatness! It has all the equipment you'll ever need and more, and is constantly renewing and keeps getting better. The staff and community are so warm and welcoming: no pretension - only transparency, and let's get to work! Extraordinary value for money: the membership is kept at a very affordable price, and you can feel that Sav always has the best interest of his members in mind. The gym has so much soul in it - they got something very special going on, the energy in the place is great. One of my best memories from London - this gym is incomparable!

Visited from Canada and needed a place to workout where I could pay daily and have access to a full blown gym at whatever time I could get away. Found Muscle Works on Google and I have to say that it’s one the best gyms I’ve been to anywhere, ever. Doesn’t matter if you’re someone whose been training for decades or days, you’re treated with the best service, from the best people, from the minute you step in the door, at any hour of the day or night. It’s open 24/7/365 The owner went out of his way to accommodate everything I needed, as did everyone that works there. I needed some tshirts and hoodies and no matter how many I wanted to try on (buy or not buy at the end), they kept helping with a smile. What you need to know that in addition to having every thing you can imagine in a gym, from weights to machines, they have so many that regardless of being crowded, you never have to wait to use anything. They also have pre workouts by the scoop, as well as post workouts and meals. All under one roof. I can’t recommend this enough. If you stop by, they’ll remember you the next time you come and make you feel like you’re a part of their gym. Thanks for your hospitality. Your friend from Canada

My daughter joined in May, she was happy with the availability of equipment, and to be able to start getting fit. However, three weeks ago, she started receiving unwanted attention from one of the gym's male clients. She had reported this to a member of staff, who had addressed the matter and informed her of this. Unfortunately, the culprit was undeterred and started to stalk once more, and involve other male clients. She now refuses to set foot in the gym out of fear for her safety. I am absolutely furious that this situation wasn't treated with the seriousness it deserved, and my daughter is unable to complete her annual membership. Save for one member of staff, the rest were uninterested in the issue. It's worrying that in this day and age this disgusting behaviour is being encouraged. ALL PROSPECTIVE FEMALE CLIENTS STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. UPDATE 03/08/2019: I CONTACTED THEIR HR AS PER INSTRUCTION, RE-ITERATED THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, THEY HAVEN'T RESPONDED CONSIDERING THEY MADE A VERY PUBLIC INTENTION OF REFUNDING THE FULL MEMBERSHIP. WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY ON THIS MATTER?

Had your heart broken recently? Then this is the perfect place to come and go full beast mode. Proper old school, metal plates kind of gym, equipment selection puts most other gyms to shame. 💪 Not quite 5 stars as a fair few bits of kit were broken on my visit and maybe a revamp on the shower area needed, felt like being back in the school locker room , just an open room with 4 showers, not for those who are shy. Once sorted this is easily a 5 star gym. This place might be slightly intimidating for the gym novice.

Been here a few years. In terms of price, vibe and 24/7 opening it is just amazing. Despite the majority of their machines being outdated they still function fine and have such a vast range. Although space is limited my recommemdations: -I would like to see another cable crossover/cable fly machine -Couple more bikes upstairs General recommendations: The lockers suck. 20p for lockers is quite frustrating especially when the gym is very congested. You see some folks walking around with their kit/bag.

It's a pretty good gym. The original Muscleworks. Visited for a change of scenery for my deload day with my brother. Proper, proper old school with plenty of pig-iron - spanning two floors, upper on the ground with legs on the first floor - with machines that are probably as old or older than I am. Didn't have to wait for anything, which is always a nice touch! Members seem to have a fair bit of ego, but that doesn't bother me too much. All in all, I'd go back, but the cardio floor is just way too hot & muggy for someone like me who has breathing issues.

We took a day pass here and it was amazing. So many fantastic machines packed in over a lot of space. The guys at the desk were friendly and we even bought a couple of belts there. If we’re back in easy London we’ll definitely pop back.

I went to workout and discover this gym during my recent stay in London. Superb gym with enough machines and above all a Bodybuilding atmosphere that I hadn't seen for a long time. Very good gym, very pleasant staff and you can eat on site. Thanks to the whole team. I'll be back! Baptiste

Great gym. Awsome layout, good machines and most importantly the ambiance of family that unites us. ????

Good to be back here, the best gym in London can’t go wrong. Downside is price gone up other then that all good.???

Looked amazing.. but couldn't provide what I wanted ????

Nice

(Translated by Google) For every weight lover and good fitness, of the best legendary gyms in the world ?? (Original) Para todo amante de las pesas y buen acondicionamiento físico , de los mejores gimnasios legendarios del mundo ??

I visited to view about 2 weeks ago Was there 20 mins looking at everything they had, ....basically it's a muscle building dream come true playground, with all the machines and equipment you hunger for them gains, still not had a chance to workout there, but I will get to it and sign up They offer day passes, monthly and annual and it's 24hour gym opening. With personal trainers on site Will review again asap when I have trained.

The best

One of the coolest and best bodybuilding gyms I’ve ever been to in both the US and the UK. They have every machine you could ever think of, more than enough free weights, and the cleanest gym locker rooms I’ve ever seen. Can not recommend this place enough.

Came to this gym from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and was so impressed. There’s nothing like it here. Such a friendly atmosphere with so much equipment to use. Very clean and staff were very helpful as it was my first time here. Can’t wait to visit again.

By far probably the best gym and the golds gym of UK. Very friendly.atmosphere...kind owner sav who goes the extra mile to keep members happy and his staff who do an amazing job...plus Nash the legendary oldschool PT who freely shares his wisdom of knowledge...

After going to Muscleworks for many years I finally decided to leave after catching Covid at the gym last year due to a lack of ventilation- I was not minded to return. Sadly, the community feel has been lost over the years, new gym members are often aggressive and rude and there's a lack of respect for the staff. It will remain one of the top bodybuilding gyms in London by equipment alone, not by the 'old school' community that it once created.

Great Gym! Nice staff! Plenty of equipment so you’re not having to ask how many sets are left. It also has a large boxing ring upstairs.

It's a good gym with great equipment, but I'm disappointed that when I was told I was being filmed while training, the response from a staff member was they have no cctv and I should wear different clothes, that is 100% not an appropriate response. Members shouldn't be filming other members period. Said he agreed and hed talk to him but the guy was still in the gym. Really disappointed that's the kind of response you get in a bodybuilder gym though.

Me and my mate are only 16 and visited for our second time .. the front till lady watched us repeatedly fail to pay for a pre workout shot (card wasn’t working) and as well as this, try not once, not twice but three times to pay for a locker and she had immense patience and was happy to help all whilst managing the front desk. She also was kind enough to give me 60 pence at the expense for 3 attempts to close the locker. As we left after a great session, she also made sure we navigated the gym well and asked if we got the full experience as we signed out. Top class gym, top class experience. 10 10 💯💯

Nice gym. Good equipment. 2 floors. Enjoyed my session here. It's 24 hours, 7 days a week, so no excuses! Friendly staff as well, welcoming.

The place to be when you wana feel humbled by the dedication and hard work some professionals put in this space. From PTs to Social Media experts, all fitness and mindset related legends, starting from Sav (CEO) who's worked with Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates and many more big boys dropping in for sessions permanently or otherwise when local. When you wana get big, there's so much to learn from just being amongst those big knowledgeable guys as they say - make sure you're the stupidest man in the room, with the highest understanding levels. 💪 Go give and you'll get it!

Incredible gym with most exhaustive range of equipment I've seen in london. Great atmosphere / energy also. Of ~10-15 gyms I've been to in London this is by a long, long distance the best (note: only if your focus is on weightlifting)

One of the best gyms I've ever trained in, with all the machines you could need and the best motivating and friendly atmosphere. I'm sure I'll be back and always recommend!

The best gym I ever seen ! Wonderful people can saw you how to use all these gym stuff , atmosphere we are good

old school bodybuilder ... no compromise ... push push push is the one religion

Incredible service. All the machines you'll ever need. Hardcore gym. Lucky some of these are still around ?

Great range of equipment and friendly staff. I wish there was a little more attention to the basics though. For example, machines with missing weight indicators isn’t great, nor is the placement of a urinal immediately adjacent to the lockers in the changing room.

Best gym around.

Absolutely AMAZING gym! Great atmosphere and an absolute MUST for any genuine bodybuilding / lifting enthusiast! Super friendly staff - made an out of towner feel right at home. Stop reading reviews and GO AND LIFT SOMETHING. NOW!!! ??

Good old school body builder gym. Open 24/7!

Great old school gym full of beautiful energy and vibes . First time for me there and absolutely will go again and again . So happy to be there and thanks for the lovely stuff .they are very helpful with big smile and very welcoming

Best place ever

Simply The best Gym in London.

Real hard-core bodybuilding gym, with a huge range of equipment and a great atmosphere.

Well equipped

Amazing gym! Recently moved to the area and excited to check it out - I've heard good stuff from friends who have been members for years.

Amazing gym. I just moved to London and cannot be happier. The staff are passionate about what they do as are the people who work out here. They are respectful, nice, and the energy is unbeatable. Easily the best gym i've been to.

Pretty much every machine you could ask for, which will allow you to get NASTY like 1993 Dorian Yates.

One of the best bodybuilding gyms around with a great atmosphere and diverse range of equipment.

Best gym in east London

Best gym in uk. Bodybuilder haven. Owner and staff amazing.

One of the best gyms in the world. And I've been to a few.

Good atmosphere, good equipment.

Great place, great vibe and guaranteed to get your gains if you persist. Hand sanitising stations available and one way system to promote social distancing. Very impressed

Is there any place to place to park?

Good place, Great staff.

What a gym, raw, power & grit gym. Dedicated to the art of looking after your body. This place is awesome a big upgrade from the previous building but it brings everything and more that you want from a real gym. Sav is still the man behind it all still motivating everyone to do there best. Great gym a credit to East London.

Very good gym near Whitechapel. Old machines and weights but very cheap prices. Friendly staff. Covid19-related review: the gym is very well ventilated, not too busy and probably the only one in London still open 24/7.

Great place to have a workout. Feels a bit expensive for a day pass. But compared to the location and the other gyms nearby with the facilities it offers with great staff it is worth it. The showers and lockers are well maintained. Facility equipment includes treadmills, bikes, free weights with squats racks , and resistance machines.

The best gym in London

Excellent gym 💪🏿💪🏿

Seriously well equipped gym in East London. Friendly staff and great space for a work out.

I have achieved my fitness goals after visiting this gym daily. The trainers are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The best thing is they have collection of all the latest equipment required to lose weight. Will surely recommend them to anyone looking for gym in London.

Proper bodybuilding gym. No frills, very good equipments, Sal, the owner is the value added

my regular gym was closed by the time I finished work this evening ! I was adamant I wasn’t going to miss or skip leg day ! Muscle works was recommended to me I drove out over an hour just to train & have the experience…. I wasn’t disappointed!! Old school hardcore bodybuilding Atmosphere was pukka Vibe was banging People were sweet as a nut ! Guy working tonight was extremely helpful Thanks for taking the time to go thru all your stock to find what tracksuit I wanted HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Obviously lots of equipment, very busy on Saturday afternoon when i was there, some equipment is quite creaky / needs updating - the door is always open so aircon can't really get going ... hmmm, it was ok - for somewhere different to go.... starting to realise that good gyms with equipment designed for physique prepping arent that common.

Great place for weight loss. They have all the latest equipment for maintaining healthy weight. I feel active and happy after gyming here as ambience of the place is too good.

Loved it after doing few days on pay as you go, I took the full membership. Customer service is excellent, and the gym has everything.

Proper gym with a massive selection of machines , squat racks and weights. Great boxing space/ring and good amount of bags. Definitely recommend

So far so good! Large gym with lots of good equipment and a good mixture of people 💪🏽

This little gem in the heart of East London is an old school bodybuilding gym with boxing facilities, things might not be as fancy or shiny as in PureGym but if what you're looking for is to get big this is a place where you'll find all the equipment you need and can think of and an environment of like-minded individuals. The place seems to have a reputation on the bodybuilding scene, having produced several bodybuilders over the years, and it's an institution in the Bethnal Green area for both bodybuilding and boxing. It's reasonably priced with a lovely little bar where you can get supplements, food, equipment or merchandising. Overall it's always worth it to train at Muscleworks Gym and I'm looking forward to my next training.

Great gym, so much equipment it's unreal, great atmosphere and friendly clientele. Staff are welcoming and rules are in place to make sure the gym is clean and tidy. Great selection of supplements and food at the front desk and perfect opening hours

Excellent gym, The machines are some of the best I have ever used. The vintage machines may not look fancy but they target the muscles better than anything I have used so far. Staff are friendly, as are people that use the gym. Slight issue is that during the busy times, there is a staff member hoovering with a corded vacuum which is quite unsafe. As someone could get hurt tripping over. Either invest in a cordless hoover or clean up during less busy hours. Hence my 4 star rating rather than 5.

The best boxing gym with weight, you won’t go wrong as the boxing coaches like Kesper Shah extra are the best coaches you can learn boxing with, 5stars for this gym

Brilliant gym. Proper Old skool Hard-core gym. Plenty equipment. Machines dumbells. Boxing ring Whole floor upstairs leg area.

Absolutely incredible old school bodybuilding gym! Really enjoyed my legs session and to be able to use some proper bodybuilding machines. Was greeted by the lovely Carol who showed me around the gym and the female changing room - absolutely amazing staff who know what they're talking about whilst being approachable! Managed to get a t shirt at the end haha - again helped by Carol who helped me choose a size and colour. I definitely will be training there again!

BEST GYM IN UK. This may be only be applicable to some but I find this gym is such a good enviroment for bodybuilders. Machines are great

Here on vacation and instantly felt at home here. As a powerlifter I’ve had trouble finding gyms in London with powerlifting equipment but the setup at Muscleworks is great: multiple squat racks with a sturdy space for deadlifting in front, one combo rack for benching with adjustable height, as well as multiple (fixed height) benches on the first floor. Much better than any other gym I’ve seen in the UK. Most bars are good quality Olympic bars and there’s a couple power bars. The weights are a bit all over the place but there’s enough of them that it’s never a problem. On top of that staff is super nice and the hardworking atmosphere pushes you to do better. Highly recommended over any gym in London as far as I’ve seen.

Best gym ever , I’ve been training here for more than 2 years and it’s the best place with the best environment. Also I can train my clients there 😊

Great vibe, everyone super supportive and the energy is unreal. Got every machine under the sun and despite going at the busiest time of day there was almost always free equipment. Two things which could be improved upon though - 1. The Dumbbell rack is pretty messy and it’s a challenge to find the weights you’re looking for. 2. Weights are hard to find with stacks in obscure places and are often just left on bars etc. otherwise great gym would recommend.

My first time visiting Muscle Works in East London and what a treat. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The membership fee is great value for money. The equipment they have is amazing. You are spoilt for choice. From Hack Squats to Stair Climbers for those who want that 🍑. It's spread over 2 floors. Legs and cardio upstairs and the whole of the ground floor for upper body and free weights. The members are super friendly and approachable. They even have hot tasty dishes for when you want to get your proteins in. I even met the Owner, Sav, who was sweet and humble. I highly recommend this gym for all types. The beginners and the heavy hitters. Day passes are like £6.50. You cannot go wrong with this place. One of the BEST gyms in the UK. Check it out!!

Amazing gym as always. People there are focused and all there for one reason, to workout hard. Push the limits. You can see this is also the vision of the owner. All very friendly. Strong motivation to be focused and have explosive workouts. Get stronger, focus your mind and improve your body psychic. Staff in the reception also very helpful.

Great gym. Old school and the best equipment at that…. Really friendly people who run it and welcoming… will be my go to when coming to London.

Old skool iron pumping house! Pros: -Open 24/7 -No nonsense sign up process. Pay & Pump. -Range of machines (they added another dual cable machine!) -Serious vibe. If you come here, you will develop. Atmosphere alone will give you a boost. -Boxing & Muay Thai classes through private coaches. -Pre-cooked meals at a very fair price. -Lots of supplements, pre & post workout for a fair price too. -Gym is very clean. Respect to the boys who keep it hygienic constantly. They keep the gym ticking. -Toilets are also very clean! -Friendly staff. Talk little and smile a lot. Cons: (These are not neccessarily bad things about the gym. Just things to be aware of) -Louder than your normal gym. There are big dudes in here moving mega weight. -Peak times are very busy. -Air flow is sub standard & no AC. Hopefully this is something they can add/improve in the future.

This gym is a muscle gym it’s not like the modern 24 hour gym that looks pretty on the outside but takes years to actually achieve the look you desire. Good equipment good staff and good location -can’t complain.

Phenomenal selection of equipment. Gym is clearly laid out strategically with a separate leg room upstairs. 10/10 recommend!

One of my favourite gyms. It's a great boxing-style iron work gym where you can train hard!!! The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is chill and laid back.

Best gym in London. Great atmosphere that puts you in the mood to train your hardest Any machine you can imagine they have Fantastic price/value Friendly staff
