    This is a fantastic gym. There's no two ways about it, it's the best gym I've been a member of by a long long way. See original review under this update, following which they listened and spaced things out better (and personally mentioned it to me -- which is impressive given I never talk to anyone, they matched the review to the membership system and my face to it when I enter the gym with my card). What other gym would do that? Moreover, the equipment is excellent and there are two weightlifting platforms where chalk is allowed (or tolerated, I'm not sure which..!). I'm very sad to be leaving the area ): I'll genuinely miss this gym -- Original review follows-- Good gym but has a bit too much equipment for it's size; and some machines are awkward to de-/load because of the proximity to the next machine.

    I purchased a bull in a bundle package. That was 10 sessions for Β£90. Β£9 a session, good value I would say. Equipment is lovely and clean. Not cheap and of great standard. Such a community feel in the gym. The staff do an amazing job at keeping this gym running smooth and looking amazing. Classes are run by clearly very professional and knowledgable instructors. All round great gym

    A good gym, 10Β£ for a day pass and ~60Β£ for a monthly. Good music, no powerlifting specific equipment but dumbbells up to 50kg, legpress etc

    I've been to almost all gyms in the area, this one is the best by far. Great atmosphere & team, friendly people, excellent equipment, and one of the only gyms in central London that doesn't seem to get too insanely crowded even during rush hour (thanks to their fairly large weight area)

    *** UPDATE *** My bad, the gym hasn't gone bust - the railway arches where they're located need some remedial works, the manager says. The gym has offered membership fee reimbursements. *** EARLIER POST *** Just a warning that this gym seems to have gone bust. They’ve suddenly put a padlock on the door and the website says it’s closed temporarily. Really sucks given many members are on annual memberships. Also a shame as it was a good gym.

    I regret having to write this, MBG was not only a fitness gym with a fantastic communal feel, but a great place to meet other like minded individuals and it scored so high on being personable, clean, and local. It’s now been over 3 months since the gym was closed unexpectedly. We were informed this was due to imminent remedial works in the arches, but in the last 3 months I haven’t seen anything of the sort. There was an email sent out to everyone to discuss cancellation of memberships. My question is whilst direct debits have been cancelled, what about pre-paid annual memberships? Many have paid this ahead and what is the procedure in compensating this back? There has been no follow up on this whatsoever. I presume bankruptcy? There has been no news from any of the gym management team regarding monetary compensation or its future. This is terribly sad because the venue and people were fantastic and highly regarded in the locality, and the lack of any correspondence renders it quite unprofessional. The following notice from the gates of MBG as now been put up. Regarding any equipment that may have been left behind by gym goers so they can retrieve their items. Once again, incredibly sad to see such a wonderful place shut with very little notice and very little communication with its members.

  • 5/5 Maxted N. 2 years ago on Google β€’ 12 reviews
    Super clean, great atmosphere - one of the only gyms I've been to where the culture is to put your weights back on the rack, and everyone does it. Staff are all really helpful and nice. Never too busy, and even if it is busy, there's always a free spot. Six bench racks!! Three squat racks and five deadlift platforms!!!!!

    They seem to have closed and are not responding to members requests regarding refunds... I can see in companies house they are in liquidation as well, so it looks like it is a lost cause.

  • 5/5 Joe C. 6 years ago on Google
    There is such a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere at this gym. I immediately felt at ease. The equipment is extensive, current and clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. This is a very special space. It is not big and characterless like the large corporate gyms but is a personable and quirky gym tucked under the railway arches. The trainers are interested in individual people and their stories which is a rarity in a big city. Go here. You'll be better for it. I am. Thumbs Up!

    I've been to this gym twice already and I absolutely love it. Nice people and a very friendly environment. Everyone is concentrated on their own workout. Trained with Jack and I am really impressed with his drive and positive attitude. He can literally convince you to try exercises that you would have never thought of.

    The best thing with my 3 months stay in Bermondsey is having this gym minutes from home. I've been around to a lot of gyms over the days and thanks to its friendly vibe and small size this is one of the best ones I've been a member of. Never too busy but always nice people around. I'm mainly interested in muscle gain but there's something for everyone and every need.

  • 5/5 ashley s. 5 years ago on Google
    I emailed the gym and enquired about prices and the facilities they had to offer, the emailed i received was very accommodating and was invited for a free trial. upon arrival i was greeted by very friendly staff members and shown around the gym to find it was quite possibly the tidiest well kept gym i have ever been to. the equipment was fantastic and so much variety, even at what is considered peak time it was not overly crowded and other members were very considerate of their space and not hogging machines, After my session i was treated like a member already before i had even signed up, it was a very nice experience and can say i will be returning to sign up. It has a real family feel about the place. Not a corporate chain give me your money member number *1253

    Very cool gym. It is close to my flat and they have convenient hours for me as well. The place is clean and organized. I think they used to have a sauna in the mens change room, but now that is removed but I am not sure why :( Other than that I really enjoy Muscle Bull gym.

    Very pricy in comparison to other gyms neaby, the website often does not work and the mobile app is a joke (horrible UI and keeps the passwords in clean text). Half of the equipment is mallfunctioning and needs attetion for some good years.

    Really cool independently owned gym under the train tracks. Focus is on heavy lifting but they have everything you need for strength training, lighter on cardio. As a biz traveler I find their membership options refreshingly flexible.

  • 5/5 Jennifer B. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 22 reviews
    Seriously the best gym I have ever been a member of. Well equipped, friendly staff, everyone is respectful to each other, and very clean. The owners listen to suggestions from clients and so they are regularly getting new equipment and making changes based on feedback. My only regret is that it took me 2 years of living in the neighborhood before I found muscle bull gym!

    One massive thing that you get at this gym, A NAME not a membership number or seen as walking currency. Its a real delight and so refreshing. Gets a massive thumbs up from me 10/10 in all aspects from cleanliness to equipment.

  • 4/5 Mrs W. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 73 reviews
    Good variety of weights. They are often progressing and upgrading machines. Love the classes. Andy's classes are full of energy, Connors offer boxing techniques and Damiens classes help build your Glutes. All classes offer a real sense of community. This Gym has something for everyone. A Friendly environment, with proactive staff that are always cleaning and tidying the gym space. I would rate 5 stars if there were a class every morning and evening to fit my shift work.

  • 5/5 HH L. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 46 reviews
    1) Nice selection of facilities and weights. But would love more glute machines (hip thrust machine for example) 2) Staff are extremely helpful and nice. Extra points for the cute dogs 3) Compared with other gym I’ve been to, this gym is the cleanest. Normally I have bad allergy reaction to dust and mites but didn’t have a runny nose while working in this gym Can’t think of anything negative so far would recommend to give it go

  • 5/5 Cameron M. 2 years ago on Google β€’ 20 reviews
    Fantastic communication and adaptation to new safety standards during lockdown. Staff are exceptionally nice and helpful. Wide selection of strength and functional training machines that are well maintained and constantly cleaned. My personal trainer - Connor - is second to none and has really helped me enjoy working out again. Highly recommend this gym.

  • 5/5 David P. 5 years ago on Google
    I was visiting from Philly, went to Muscle Bull Gym twice, great place for a serious workout. Not a good place for a casual workout. Some machines, alot of weights, clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Just my cup of tea.

  • 5/5 Tony C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great authentic style gym with reasonable pricing

  • 4/5 Barbi 0. 3 years ago on Google
    Hi it’s open now?

  • 5/5 Tony P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic, clean, independently owned gym! Do support them and give them a chance, instead of giving your money to the chains, if you live locally in SE1. Only one tiny recommendation to make - please make a few large enough tailored playlists with music. I feel that every person on duty behind the reception plays their own 20-track playlist on Spotify, and it can get a bit cringe (there is only so much one can take of US teen punk rock in one week).

  • 5/5 Thyago F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vibe and atmosphere. Staff is friendly and equipments are great.

  • 5/5 Sam F. 2 years ago on Google

    I’ve been going to this gym a few months now which has really helped change my whole lifestyle Very friendly environment with helpful staff members always willing to advise you I’d recommend muscle bull to anyone looking for a decent gym to help reach a goal

  • 5/5 Jason C. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent. Great equipment, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Ε½iga K. 5 years ago on Google
    MBG is a great gym with super friendly staff and a bit of a garage gym vibe. It's more weight training focused, meaning that there's plenty of equipment around and you'll barely ever need to queue to use a bench. My personal favorites is the the sauna box and the shake bar where you'll get free coffee on Fridays. MBG is a very community-focused gym with lovely staff and members (including a couple of dogs) which makes it well worth the membership fee.

  • 5/5 Connor G. 5 years ago on Google
    Great gym with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Plenty of equipment and amazing classes!!! I would recommend to everyone!!! :)

  • 5/5 Ben L. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stefan P. 5 years ago on Google
    Good gear. You'll love it if you're a fan of old school gyms.

  • 5/5 Oliver C. 5 years ago on Google
    Exceptionally well equipped, clean, nice staff, and other patrons are the sort of people who put their kit away when they’re done with it. One of the best gyms I’ve ever been to.

  • 5/5 Rosalind L. 5 years ago on Google
    Honestly one of the best gyms I've ever been to. Very unique and the staff are super friendly. I always look forward to my visits as it's like a second home, I always feel so welcomed and part of the MBG family. Great location close to London bridge and bermondsey tube. Amazing array of equipment - something for everyone... and they have made amazing use of the space.. managing to include a treatment room, sunbed, sauna and shake bar. I'd highly recommend anyone of any level of fitness to try it out.. you won't regret it!

  • 5/5 Lewis L. 5 years ago on Google
