    Great gym with the best reception staff and trainers who are really knowledgable, approachable and friendly! The gym is really well managed and maintained, and has a load of different classes that you can fit around your day-to-day, as well as a huge pool (and spa) which is rarely too busy. I have been a member for just over a year and have met a lovely community of members and had a great environment to work out in.

    Staff on reception are extremely unhelpful and are not welcoming at all. This came as quite a shock considering the area they are based in and the money they charge for one to be a member. Same reason why I left the harbour club, these 'luxury' gyms/clubs are really not what they profess to be, I've received better customer service from places like pure gym and better gym.

    I've been a regular at Body Works West for two years now and it's been a game-changer for me. The equipment is top-notch and always clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is incredibly motivating. Whether you're a fitness newbie or a seasoned pro, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommend!"

    Joined the gym as an investment and was hoping to use other facilities there too. I’d never done personal training before & a session was offered as part of the joining up package which I took up. The session wasn’t great. I did the full hour and felt shaky / broken afterwards but thought this is how it’s meant to be as maybe I didn’t get how to do certain things. Blaming myself for maybe not getting it. I was repeatedly told during the session i needed to work on my confidence & that it was the thing holding me back from understanding some of the instructions - this cemented the feeling I wasn’t up to it but I persevered. It was reassuring a few days later that the personal trainer came up to me and apologised for the session & offered to do another one with me free of charge -which I accepted (although I felt unsure about it) . It was somewhat good to hear they felt they’d pushed me too far during the initial session as my confidence was more broken by the experience. They also offered to send me feedback on the initial session via email & said they would be in touch re a new appointment but sadly I never heard from them again. The overall experience has made me feel uncomfortable about returning to the gym & soured the initial enthusiasm I had. I’ve only visited a couple of times since.

    Joined BodyWorksWest in January this year. From the first step I took in the gym I knew it was going to be a great decision to join! The members of staff are extremely friendly and incredibly helpful whenever you need fitness advice. Hector has provided my partner and I with first class trainer service and really cares about making sure we carry out our workouts safely and correctly. The classes are brilliant and Boxing with Farelle is the highlight of my week! I’ve never been to a gym where members are friendly and happy to talk to you! It really feels like a wider family and is practically our second home!

    BodyWorksWest has been like my second Notting Hill home for more than 7 years. Having had the opportunity to meet the owners it is no wonder that this wellness destination is a West London institution. With a calm and steadfast management style BWW has always displayed the latest in fitness concepts and equipment and having continual soft upgrades ensure their offering is forever relevant. I have only ever been met and welcomed by amazing members of staff, helpful, conscientious & friendly. Well done to the entire team

    Member since 2016,In the very heart Of Notting Hill; is not just a place for fitness and wellness, is a very exclusive environment with friendly and professional staff at all time. Starting with reception, very helpful and always ready to make you feel at home.The management is always caring with great initiatives and activities; the trainers and advisors are the best in town, with years of experience and expertise. Makes me feel part of an esclusive club and I’m so glad to pay every visit to find a moment of peace and self care. Strongly suggested

    I have been going to this gym since I move in the area and must say this is really the BEST gym I ever trained at. The team is absolutely fabulous, providing personalised attention and support from the moment they welcome you to the PT private session but the best is the variety of class they offer (love the pilate reformer class!!!!). The training area is clean, with very well maintained equipment. It's a well hidden gem in the heart of west London - Defo recommend it !!

    By far the best gym I went to in London. The facilities are great and the spa area is my favourite. What I really like about this place is the staff, friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Wellness of body and mind! I love this west London haven of calm. Having done some contributing content work with them it’s been such a pleasure to get to know the team. From the digital content person to the general manager – this is a place you could easily claim as “home” – LOVELY PLACE

    Great gym with the facilities of a Health Club. I joined this year in January with little experience or direction. 5 stars for my PT Hector who has been excellent. He has listened to my needs, focused on technique and tailored a challenging programme. I feel even more confident and healthier. Let’s keep it going! I would provide a 5 star. However I feel the facilities could to do with updating. For example the changing rooms have a lot of broken lockers and they aren’t always clean.

    This place is great. I've joined a full tilt boxing club or I would still be there. Great staff, its never too busy, and the spa and steam and pool situation is awesome. The change rooms get pretty fleshy but if you can handle that its a great boutique club for the solo traveller who wants to shake up their fitness. Love the apples in the foyer.

  • 4/5 Eleanor B. 5 years ago on Google
    I really like this gym. The only reason I am giving it 4* is because it doesn’t lend it self well to flexible usage. You can put your membership on hold but only for a limited months a year - and you still have to pay when its on hold. This is a challenge for my lifestyle.

    I never knew it was possible to fall in love with a gym until I met BodyWorksWest. It’s tucked away in a side street and the whole facility is lovely with a range of classes and a great pool, jacuzzi and sauna setup. Going to the gym starts to feel like a treat which is never a bad thing. Highly recommend if you are in the Notting Hill area.

    BodyWorksWest has the best spa and gym in Notting Hill. It's basically my second home - and one of the main reasons why I've stuck around this area for so long. Their staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. You do not get this level of service from places run by big corporate chains. The only thing I would suggest is that they implement a policy to ban the usage of phones for talking or playing music in the spa which myself and others find irritating. PS. Their parties are great!

    + This gym offers great classes (boxing, HIIT, trx and many others are simply amazing). Pool is fine, not that big but due to “only 4 people at the same time rule” is never crowded. The atmosphere is really nice, you really feel welcomed and any reasonable requests will be heard and the team makes sure you are satisfied with your experience at the gym. - Gym has just few machines but if you know your ways around free weights, it shouldn’t be a problem.

  • 5/5 Melissa Sesana G. 2 years ago on Google
    BodyWorksWest is by far the best gym in Notting Hill! The facilities are always spotless, the environment is friendly, and most of all the staff is a delight. Nash in particular is an excellent trainer - in our sessions together he gave me valuable feedback on my lifting form and gave me good hints on how to remember how to adjust my hips and knees. In training session he also made sure to include sets that I enjoy while also including what I need to work on. Could not recommend more!

    Been going here for a couple of years now. Pool is great, often empty. Often get the pool to myself, which is a rare, beautiful thing. I think the cost is pricey but I get it free with work ?

    I absolutely LOVE BodyWorksWest. I’ve never been one for gym memberships, but this place offers an entirely different experience. The BWW team are truly wonderful – super friendly & helpful. The PT trainers are incredible, the classes are amazing, and the facilities are excellent. I always enjoy my sessions at BWW. Thanks so much, guys!

  • 2/5 Fred G. 2 years ago on Google
    Recently cancelled my membership after almost 10 years... This gym has a lot of potential, and very friendly members. The staff used to make you feel so welcome. Sadly, the quality has gone down in recent years and there seems to be a real lack of management. The PT department in particular suffers from very poor leadership. Such a shame when all you want is to spend money on training :( Some of the front desk staff are still super friendly but all in all very uneven service. I hope they manage to turn thing around.

  • 5/5 Ben T. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been a member for over 10 years and I wouldn't join any other gym. I love the spin classes with Debora and Igor, and also been having PT sessions with Marc Newby who's a fantastic trainer. The standards are really high and the gym is always nice and clean.

  • 5/5 Ben L. 3 years ago on Google
    WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL THIS TIME is kind of the question when you first get to go to BodyWorksWest. This place is amazing and so far beyond only a gym. The people are friendly and helpful, the equipment is super clean tidy and modern – the swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room is some of the best I have visited EVER.

  • 5/5 Jennifer B. 3 years ago on Google
    AND RELAX – this tucked away corner on Westbourne Grove has really made health, wellness & fitness a joy! I love my physio which is located in the same building and cannot get enough of the staff. I have come to be friends with so many of the longer-term faces and really cannot imagine life in this corner of London without these guys. Thank you for keeping us sane and fit during lockdown, being back and seeing everyone smiling and getting on with “the new normal” is so heart-warming – LOVE TEAM BWW

  • 5/5 Melissa D. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lina K. 2 years ago on Google
    Even though I couldn't fully enjoy my membership due to the pandemic, each visit to BWW was absolutely lovely. Both staff and members are very nice people, which I appreciated a lot. Glad that I found this hidden gem.

  • 5/5 Mr R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to work out, excellent staff.

  • 5/5 jez a. 8 years ago on Google
    A boutique health club that i have always had a great training session in, the spa is amazing spend hours in there. Friday mid morning spin is a tough one but one of the best classes i have been to. Great staff :)

  • 5/5 Danielle W. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite gym in all of London! I love how new the machinery is and never feels like the floor is too busy. I really enjoy the classes the most, because the trainers are so friendly and take the time to push you and get the correct form. They were also super great during the isolation and transition out of covid-life, with super clean facilities and clear protocols for the classes. 10/10 would recommend.

  • 5/5 Kat 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve just joined and it’s literally the best gym in London! The trainers and teachers are all so professional, compassionate and highly trained. The gym facilities are gorgeous (the jacuzzi is my favourite part) and the front of house are lovely. It’s a real personal experience you get at BWW and I’m absolutely in love with the place! Highly highly recommend !

  • 5/5 Isabel Martín V. 2 years ago on Google
    BWW is the best gym around the area. The installations are amazing for a small boutique gym with a pool, steam room and sauna and amazingly friendly staff that is always super keen to help. Nash at the front desk always goes the extra mile to help from booking anything for you to great training tips. You’d be lucky to get a pt session with him too. Have tried other gyms and classes studios around the area, but this one’s home ♥️

  • 5/5 Vilhelmina L. 2 years ago on Google
    I have recently started training at Body Works West ,and I absolutely love it ! Great gym facilities, the changing rooms are clean and well maintained. In addition to the changing rooms there is a sauna in there , so after a swim or training you can go and relax. Staff is always very helpful and nice !! I would definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 Alexis S. 5 years ago on Google
    BWW is a great gym, located off the beaten path in Notting Hill. I, for one, am a fan of the smaller, nice touches that BWW has to offer - like a sauna and cold eucalyptus towels to cool off with after your workout. The gym is small, but good. They have great equipment - and the classes are good.

  • 5/5 Emma G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the gym that changed my entire perception on exercising, showing me it can really be fun and integrated into my routine. My months at BWW were exceptional to say the least. I was extremely satisfied by absolutely everything: the class variety, the instructors' quality of teaching, the facilities, how lovely and helpful the staff is, literally everything! This is a gym that feels very welcoming even for people who are not into hardcore exercising, but it certainly has the potential of converting you into a regular gym person! In my 3 months there, I saw incredible results on my body (and mood too) out of primarily attending group classes. They are challenging enough to push you but also move at a doable pace not to discourage you. This means that the better you become, the more you can get out of each class! Not to mention super fun classes like 80s Aerobics and Zumba I loved. But also more technique-based like Barre. Those were my go-to but I attended lots of others and loved them all. Another element I also liked is the variety of people attending classes, in terms of age and gender for example. It's not a 'showing off' gym at all and other members are friendly and very encouraging on each others' progress. I know there are some 'fancy' gyms around like Equinox but i'd highly recommend you checking out BWW before signing up to one of those. I think you can get much better quality and attention and a very warm, community feeling compared to impersonal, huge, detached places. Overall, I cannot recommend BWW enough! I truly adore BWW and I can assure you it has the potential of truly upgrading your daily life. It is worth every penny and I totally see it as an investment in my physical, mental and psychological health and wellbeing. Well done to everyone for making it the little heavenly corner it is! Much love to all of you 🤍🤍🤍

  • 2/5 Quentin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Not enough equipment, the gym is old , very expensive for what is jt ! And the staff is not even nice ! Good location is the only positive point.

  • 5/5 John C. 10 months ago on Google
    Imagine the opposite experience to the worst features of a corporate gym chain and you’d get close. Privately owned, customer-focused and with some genuine/knowledgeable/friendly trainers. I was a member last year and if I lived in the area again would join in a heartbeat. Don’t miss the Members Christmas Party!

  • 5/5 neil m. 7 years ago on Google
    "I have a far from normal working routine working with bands and artists , nothing is regimented and I needed a Gym that would accommodate this. I have been delighted with Body Works West , the entire crew there are just wonderful and completely professional. I signed up for personal training with Marc and have seen great results , not only from the tailored workouts but also from the nutritional advice in my everyday life. I never write reviews but these folks totally rock, thank you"

  • 5/5 katie W. 8 years ago on Google
    I recently joined as I was sick of the corporate gym that had tied me into a twelve month contract without providing a good service. I have no regrets. Body Works West is a tranquil haven that I enjoy visiting a couple of times a week. It has a real boutique feel to it and the staff have always been super friendly and helpful. The highlight for me is the pool - it's stylish and of a good size for lengths and I really enjoy the sauna and a steam room after a stressful day at work. Thanks Body Works West :)

  • 5/5 Pascual S. 8 years ago on Google
    BodyWorksWest is truly a diamond in the rough. There class selection is second to none, with some of the best instructors I've ever come across. Not only do they have an awesome gym and great classes, but they also have a stunning swimming pool and spa area too, it's really deceptive from the outside, I was stunned how big the club actually was. My time at BodyWorksWest was a most memorable one, I would Highly recommend to anyone living in West London, or even if you just paying a short visit to London like I was, and need a good place to work out, you won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Margaret S. 7 years ago on Google
    I have been a member for 5 months. Very pleased with the experience and the results so far, felling so much fitter. The staff could not be more helpful or professional. The facilities are excellent and kept in good order and clean.

  • 5/5 Iain B. 8 years ago on Google
    I use the gym 3-4 times a week and love it. The gym is never too busy so you're not waiting for machines to come free. The staff are friendly & always happy to help. It's so central so it takes me a couple of minutes to walk to from work. I'd recommend joining.

  • 5/5 Kate H. 7 years ago on Google
    I have been a member of almost every generic gym in London and always found things such as class quality and 'busyness' frustrating, so decided to make the jump up to this gym, definitely the right decision. I'm really motivated to work out and finding I actually use the pool, sauna etc. Staff are really friendly and equipment is all excellent. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 MARYANN H. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolute gem of a gym. Great atmosphere and professionals at hands for all types of advice. Whatever fitness you’re into is on hand. Pilates reformer, HIIT classes, stretching and yoga. The place just is just buzzing with positive energy and smiles. Wholeheartedly recommended.

  • 5/5 Miranda M. 7 years ago on Google
    Having worked and been a member at most Gyms in London I'm so happy I joined BBW. The range of classes is great, the gym floor is never over crowded and always tidy, the pt's and staff are really approachable and the swimming pool and Reformers classes are an amazing bonus.

  • 5/5 Okker L. 7 years ago on Google
    Been finding it amazing! The facilities are great and the boditrax session was very invaluable. Will be coming a lot more!

  • 5/5 Chiara 7 years ago on Google
    Best gym in London, located in the heart of Notting Hill: very exclusive, ideal to achieve any fitness goals and to get support from the fitness team. Very professional staff at all levels and great vibe. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

  • 5/5 Federica S. 7 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place! I was someone who didn't like to go to the gym - only until I joined BWW. Great classes, beautiful swimming pool and very friendly staff will make your experience so pleasant that you will want to go every single day!! Definitely recommend!

    Went for a trial,left with a membership. Only used the pool and jacuzzi facilities,so that's what I can judge. Really ambient and beautiful place. Friendly is a poor word when it comes to the staff...super polite and helpful. Unlike the pool temperature,the prices are insane,but It definitely worths it,we have one life,let's pamper ourselfes! Highly recommended!

    I've been a member of a few gyms and this one is by far the best! I love coming in on these cold nights after work and unwinding in the lounge before I prepare myself for a workout with my trainer!

    BWW is an excellent wellness space, framed within an iconic and historical location. The swimming pool has always been a flagship and distinctive feature of this structure! I have been a member since 2018 and I have always appreciated the friendliness of the staff, a refined environment full of freshness and dynamism. There are activities aimed at satisfying the most specific needs but they also try to achieve popular targets within everyone's reach. The facilities are excellent with cutting-edge equipment and layout! Recommended for those who want to start a fitness and general well-being journey for the first time but also for gym geeks. :)

    Hello, I’ve been a member of the club for quite a long time and was fit and healthy. I used to do lots of activities & classes including reformer but recently I had a serious injury in a Friday class with Irina. So be careful in that class because now I have several fractures to my wrist as well as the bone being misplaced. I had surgery but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to my normal routine, and no one has taken responsibility for that. Forogh

    I would just like to say what a wonderful, calm, relaxing place Bodyworkswest is. After a lot of stress being alleviated by exercise followed by a swim and a coffee, alongside the really lovely helpful staff, it has really made my day! Thank you BWW x
