    I had some problems when cancelling my subscription, so even they do not say it when joining the gym, please make sure you check the cancellation policy before joining. I had to pay two month after my cancellation and they did not offer my any solution! To be fair, I feel defrauded, how they treat the customer in this is what differentiates from competitors and makes a good gym, and of course, in my case they are not.

    Awesome staff, equipment and space is unrivalled and the vibe in this place shouts beastmode!!! Massive thanks to farringdon staff for making the intro in this gym real welcoming. If you want to level up and be your best athletic self, Gymbox it's definitely for you. Cleaners are working around the clock on the gym floor and cleaning showers to keep the place spotless. Staff always walk around putting things back in place. And for those worried about busy times, your're already on Google so worth checking out the "busy times" section. It's pretty accurate. Would be awesome if guest passes could be a monthly thing rather than one off so friends could get hooked on the place. Makes every other boring gym seem like a living room with some treadmills in it. Massive disservice to just call this place a gym. It's a whole lot more than that.

    If you are healthy and sober, as everyone else in the gym, please remember to bring your own noise cancelling headphones or earplugs. The music is super loud and there are speakers everywhere over your head, makes my ears hurt and feeling sick after half an hour being boomed by the noise. It’s not a night club after all, we value health more than others, that’s why we go to the gym, hearing health is a part of general health, thank you.

    Edit: Unfortunately, there's a bad smell of cigarette smoke all over the one half of the gym and the management is not all ready to even acknowledge it. Surprisingly, a nice gym spacious gym space with all of them located on single floor and enough machines which is unusual of other Gymbox centres.

    Very good gym. Pretty much two of every machines. Very really had to queue. Very good supportive staff too. Plenty of space. Really big Gymbox. Also really amazing classes. Could get really busy 6-7pm peak time but 2-5pm is basically dead quiet. Manage your time well

    Nice facilities and wide range of machines. I found the classes schedule a little limited and the rooms are too cold for yoga. You end up leaving more tense than when you arrived. Overall good gym for machines, not so great for classes.

    I had lost my shorts on the way somehow and I was sparring at 12:15. I turned up and asked to buy some short ls but they don't sell them, Ramon offered for me to be able to use his shorts and told me to even keep them, he had sustained an injury and was on a crutch and came all the way downstairs to assist me. Extremely lucky and also grateful for this customer service. The founder of Gymbox is a friend of mine and I'm overly impressed with how I was assisted. Excellent service

    Great gym! BJJ classes are excellent. Lots of classes, though it can be busy. Loads of equipment, something for every type of work out if you get board of the same workout.

    Gyms have decent kit out but the customer service is appalling. They seem to operate on a high volume budget provider business model so will not help you at all if you have an issue with your membership or contract. Gym is overpriced for what it is, despite the heavy investment in marketing. Reception team rude and uninterested. Sometimes literally making out at the desk. I left gymbox early and now going through dispute. Gymbox is only concerned how to take more money of you. I was planning to return to Gymbox once I had a little more time but I due to this bitter experience it is safe to say that I will not step foot in Gymbox again.

    This is one of the best gyms in London, it can get busy with all everyone olympic lifting and doing WODs but even still I would go out my way to train here if I could. It's built mainly for specific sports training (oly lifts, crossfit etc) but you have all the gym equipment you need.

    Couldn’t have asked for more at Gymbox - the receptionist Harvey at the front desk was incredibly kind to an older lady who seemed to get confused about class bookings. He was patient, kind and took the time to explain the gym’s policies without being condescending. I’ve recommended the gym to my Mother who often struggles with ‘new technology’ as a result of Harvey’s compassion.

    Great gym. Showers are clean and provided toiletries are great. Weights/dumbbells area gets pretty busy right after work, but wait times usually aren't too long anyways. The instructors are amazing -- shoutout Caroline for Bike & Beats!!! Music is always good and there's always locker space.

    As an avid bodybuilder I have visited a lot of different gyms in London, but GYMBOX FARRINGDON really sets itself apart from all of them! Amazing equipment for all disciplines, ALL CLASSES ARE FREE AND EASY TO BOOK, and you wouldn't believe the size of the space. The vibes are amazing: great music, DJ's, cool lighting and everyone there gives it 100%, which really motivates me. Whether you are an experienced athlete or a noob GYMBOX FARRINGDON is the place for you. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the prices don't bite! If you are looking to join (which you absolutely should) or even just take a tour of this epic place, I recommend reaching out to the sales guru Dylan Lee. He is super helpful in understanding how the club works and the price breakdown as well.

    The best gym in London! Can’t fault anything - the atmosphere, people, equipment and classes are incredible. Special thank you to Lois for making the signing up process so easy and always being super helpful & friendly. And a big shout out to Sam for always being so lovely and helpful too!

    Really great gym. Had some issues with the sales guy when I signed up as he seemed to be just trying to get the sale and showed no real care. I was going to join the gym in any case. But there was no real friendly touch. I didn't feel too welcome. I had to kind of make myself comfortable in the gym. He also gave me misinformation which the membership team disputed which meant what was agreed by us wasn't actually true. Always had issues with the membership system at gymbox. But the membership lady was really nice. Also note classes get full really fast. But the gym is huge and rarely need to wait for equipment. Other gym users generally are quite nice.

  • 5/5 Lauriane C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great gym ! So many options for classes - survival training, trapeze etc - it is hard to chose ! A lot of space, many treadmills, weights etc ! Each evening there is a DJ playing ! Very colourful ! Orignal concept, which create a real difference with more classic gym !

  • 5/5 Ciara D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym, blows my mind each visit. Such a big site requires great management. And Michael, Mark, Lois & Liv smash it!

  • 5/5 Ilaria 4 months ago on Google
    This is for me the best gym in London when it comes to balance between good facilities, equipment and classes. I love especially their yoga, pilates, barre and all their "mind" classes. If you like meditation classes, Teresa Callan classes are something unmissable. I got some pt sessions with Allison and she is very knowledgeable, it made a difference in my body and the way I do train.

  • 4/5 Haaris B. 8 months ago on Google
    Great gym. Lots of equipment, lots of classes and the people are extremely friendly. Only wish the weights / dumbbell area was slightly bigger as it gets super busy there after work. But it's a great, great gym. Highly recommend checking it out.

  • 5/5 Gabs G. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love it! The spinning classes are just great, I am a huge fan of the LED lights and your always working bikes! The weight lifting area is pretty good too, plenty of space and equipments, not so busy, only certain times. Lockers are always free, you don't need to struggle to find an empty one, cleanliness is spot on.VPTs are not doing my head in by trying to force a session on me or hit on me. Honestly, I love it 🤭 Only one tiny little con: the water fountain in the female changing room has now been struggling to recover, it's been a few weeks :)

  • 1/5 Clever C. 4 months ago on Google
    So I joined the gym and it's fine, not great but I got what you need. However, the pricing for the gym is just entirely made up. I joined with my partner so we could train together and her offer was £35 per month less than mine for the same service, £79 vs £113 for access to all UK Gymboxes. When I asked why I was expected to pay £420 per year more than her for the same service I was told because I joined slightly before her. I don't know why we need to play this stupid game to get a fair deal, but it has entirely soured my relationship with this gym.

  • 5/5 R D. 2 years ago on Google
    Best gymbox by far!! The most amount of equipment and machines. Literally massive!! Changing room facilities are clean and cleaners are actively on the gym floor. Wasn't too busy when we arrived around 1400. Gym staff seem okay but didn't really engage with them. Steam Room also available.

  • 4/5 F T. 1 year ago on Google
    Looks good enough overall on first sight, rarely specious, good couches and extraordinary members (amazing people). But I really like them to improve some accumulating small disappointments, it’s a slippery slope. 1. They somehow managed to use my photo 10 years ago as my profile picture in the app, which I never provided to them, and they can’t explain where they got them from. 2. Got told I need to email them if I’m looking for a PT, and then got told on the email, it’s not their business, go use the screen in the gym to leave my email address to the PT, which I did for 3 times, nothing happened. 2. It started with 1 elliptical machine not working well, then soon became 2… and there is always a spinning bike with similar situation. Been like this for months. 3. Music seems like a selling point for GYMBOX, but sorry I personally don’t think it’s any good, even with DJ performing. It got unnecessarily loud sometimes, it’s not only harmful to our hearing and also nerve wracking, especially when the music is bad or having a yoga class trying to relax. Some reviews mentioned it, I also heard some people shouting to each other complaining about it, seems like a common complaint. 4. I always felt safe at the changing room, until I saw people taking photos in the changing room, maybe they just want a selfie, but it’s a shared changing room.

    Visited on a guest pass - signed up the week after. This gym is epic; the equipment is plentiful, a great place for weightlifting. The staff seemed friendly and welcoming (in particular Richard Rorak who helped me sign up). Very excited for my first month :)

  • 5/5 Martin .. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice gym with amazing equipment. The staff are top quality, especially Mark! I asked him about a routine I had in mind and he gave me a few pointers. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Crispian H. 2 years ago on Google
    What a breath of fresh air the staff here are. After scouting some of the gyms in the local area, and having some absolutely atrocious staff with little to no knowledge of any information within their companies, I walked into Gymbox and was greeted with the biggest of smiles and the warmest of welcomes. Rhiannon was the woman that served me and gave me all the info on prices, classes, tips on when to come - why can’t all other receptionists be as helpful. Thank you for some great service. I will be back.

  • 3/5 Carles Laurent G. 2 years ago on Google
    It is ok gym! Lots of space doesn't feel like a traditional gym, which makes it different and cool, on the other hand it makes it difficult to take advantage of the whole thing and space. Also in winter since it is very spacy it is cold. Classes are great but always booked rooms are like every other gym almost. A plus: towels and sauna included and top rate allows you use all of the other gymbox in the city. I think is a good gym but it goes on the overated side and can be a little expensive 125£ p/m I don't really think it is much worth it for towels and sauna.

  • 5/5 Angelica G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best gym I ever been to ! A lot of space and different equipment, many classes and great training teams! Gym is also super clean and i really feel at ease every time I go.

  • 5/5 Amir A. 2 years ago on Google
    At first I thought it was pricey but when I saw the gym itself and the facilities I gave it a go. The classes are superb, very pleased. Only downside it’s not 24hours.

  • 5/5 Adriano P. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool gym with excellent equipment, classes and music! The gym has a range of lovely classes and and everything I could ask for. Boxing ring with various experienced trainers and an amazing water row machine. Great place.

  • 5/5 R B. 2 years ago on Google
    Top rate gym. The staff are always engaged and on point. The class teachers are second to none and absolute leaders in their field. Towels are provided and all areas are always clean. This gym is very well kitted out and the pick of the bunch. It has large open spaces and loads of space. However, each as it’s own feel so worth seeing which of their gyms is best for you; in many cases the decision is based on which is closer for your needs.

  • 5/5 Nando S. 2 years ago on Google
    Disneyland for fitness enthusiasts. They have a section for every passion of fitness. I really enjoyed the theraguns at hand to mobilize before the workout. It has a very club vibe and everyone is into working out, it might be a little intimidating for beginners, but I love it.

    Best gym I’ve ever been to

  • 5/5 Deirbhile M. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to a class yesterday and absolutely loved it. Then went around trying new machines, staff were so amazing and helpful! Didn’t want to leave!! Then spent a sold half hour in the sauna. Omg just beautiful! Loved that the tunes were going the whole time especially in the shower. loved my first day there. Have planned to be back all next week too. Such an amazing place. My new favourite thing now is looking at the classes coming up and booking them ! 😂😍 you could definitely spend all day here. Little bit of heaven - weird to say for a gym but 100% true

  • 4/5 Andrea 2 years ago on Google
    Very reasonably priced and well-stocked. The equipment and instructors are of a high calibre. Can always get booked onto classes or the waiting list. One star removed as some equipment, particularly dumbbells and the massage guns are not always put back where they belong so you can waste time searching. It would be good if they had someone on the floor to ensure equipment was put back properly as it’s a big gym and finding it isn’t always easy. It also risks injury if a heavy lifter fails to remove his or her plates from the machines (this is a regular occurrence).
