    Terribly designed gym. The whole thing is split between three very tiny floors, and all the equipment is crammed into every room. So much so that's it's dangerous. You will need to step over several weights and people in the weights area. Safety is meant to be a main priority in gym use, but you will not find it here. The weights are also incredibly old, worn down and rusty, fitting the unsafe, unclean aesthetic of the place. This gym is not a representative of Anytime Fitness as a whole. Although I highly suggest this franchisey give up, and accept they should not be in the fitness industry.

    Do not go to this to gym. Here is why. Firstly it had only 3 individual bathrooms so you can’t shower or change. These bathrooms are always dirty. The gym is so small it’s a health hazard as you can’t move for tripping over equipment and weights. To top it off when I went in to cancel my membership the manager talked me into freezing my account despite my telling him I didn’t know when I would be back. He told me it was frozen indefinitely. Then a few months later they started to take money from my account again. When I contacted them they refused to give the money back and when I cancelled the direct debt started to threaten to take me to court. Don’t touch this gym. There are much cheaper better equipped gyms near which are also open 24 hours.

    It's very big, there are plenty of machines in reasonable condition but some weights and parts are missing. There's no staff to help you. You get help from other members. There were few staff in an office totally uninterested. There is a recording of a message reminding people to clean after themselves. Changing room is very big but you must bring your own lick. It's busy around 18.00.

    It's a very small gym, my flat is larger than it. It cost a lot comparing with the service provided. Never sign a contract because you'll have to pay 12 months even tough you want to leave. Better gyms around and cheaper:)

    Travelling in London for one week and went to ask if I could pay for a single session. Reception was marked as open but man refused to open the door and stood there watching as I tried to open it. He finally opened the door and asked in a rude voice what I wanted. What do you think someone who turns up to a gym with a towel around his neck and a bag full of gym clothes wants? I was told memberships only, so went elsewhere. Pathetic, rude customer service. I asked the same question to Fitness Kings around the corner and they were polite and easy to deal with. No excuses.

    Ridiculously small with poor facilities. One squat rack/combined bench press which means that if you go during any normal time, like after work, you will have no chance of using them. The rest of the equipment is essentially low quality machines cramped together. The price is outrageous for what it is. Good luck trying to cancel your membership by the way. Avoid this gym, there are much better options in the area.

    Interesting gym setup, with three floors to navigate (elevator access available). The water closets are in the basement, weights and strength machines are on the first floor, and cardio equipment is upstairs. Conveniently located within walking distance of the train station -- worth a stop-in if you need a sweat!

    Working here has changed my life. I love the environment. Simple,small but well equipped gym. PT's available,which makes it very easy.

  • 2/5 Callum R. 1 year ago on Google
    If you can go at unusual times this gym has the essentials for your work out. Generally clean and the bathrooms are good. However, it can take only two other people being in the gym to really disrupt a routine. Going at peak hours is unpleasant to say the least. Staff come across as immature and don't seem to take their job seriously. PTs are quite good but the manager may try and poach you from them, which is awkward to deal with. Leaving was a nightmare. Don't rely on email communication - slow, incomplete responses with no reference to the contract (which I wasn't shown on signing up either)

    This is not a ´gym’ as such! I’d say it’s a ´studio’ with very little space available! It’s really tiny…..!! It doesn’t really fit more than 5/6 people at most! I did a free trial and thank god I did… no proper changing rooms, bye… they asked for something like £40 a month which honestly is a rip off!

    Absolutely avoid. Asked them to cancel my membership months ago after the end of my contract, only to find out they didn’t and now I’m dealing with late fees. The staff is the absolute worst.

  • 1/5 Adi M. 6 years ago on Google
    I’m surprised a gym this bad has the “anytime fitness” logo attached to it. I only ended up using this because I was in the area but if this wa sky local ATF I’d cancel - super dated, old, tired machines, cramped space, no changing rooms. All of the machines need to be replaced and upgraded ASAP. Staff seemed nice enough. Location is good but they desperately need to replace the equipment. A far cry from the St. Paul’s and Woolwich gyms which are amazing.

    Really great gym, good selection of well maintained equipment. Staff are nice and easy to talk to if you have a problem. Bathrooms are really good since the refurb. Quite small but it's 24 hour so no waiting for equipment if you go off peak. Not sure what the bad reviews are about!

    Have been banned from the gym as an international member as he doesn't like that he doesn't get my membership fee. Will find another anytime close by. Gym is very small and not well maintained ,

  • 1/5 Luke F. 3 years ago on Google
    Post lockdown Anytime Fitness reopened my membership without my consent and charged me a months fee without me using your serrvices. I asked for a cancellation and you continued trying to take my direct debit, constantly harassing with automated emails, not responding to me emails (to George Molan, Manager) and now trying to charge me with late fees? I am not in the country, i asked for my membership to be cancelled, i did not want my membership restarted after COVID lockdown in the first place.

    I am extremely happy with Anytime Kings Cross Branch and would recommend anyone who lives around. Have been a member for more than one year and have never had a bad experience. It is not busy, there is all essential equipment for lifting and cardio, even weight belts.. 24 hours and easy access, best price are big plus. Stephanie is a lovely person who helps with everything you need. Thank you for everything

    Managed to get a good workout in because it was bank holiday but the gym is extremely cramped with you having to crawl around to get to certain machines. Grips of different equipment felt sticky/dirty. Not to the usual AF standard

    Only Anonymous accounts give good feedback. There is no good machine to exercise. One more thing read the agreement first before signing as these Gyms are dodgy.

    Sorry to say but this is the most unprofessional Anytime fitness I have visited, the spot where to squat and deadlift is in a very bad condition, mats are torn, not up to the standards of anytime. Sorry Kings cross

  • 1/5 Stephen w. 2 years ago on Google
    Paid 45 a month to use the shower, facilities were poorly taken care of. When my membership ended and I tried to get my “deposit” back for the fob they wouldn’t give it back, so basically just stole £20, said they would contact “cooperate”, never heard from them again. There are better and even cheaper options around

    Great vibes to exercise here, Staff and guests are all friendly. Run by a charismatic and helpful manager, Richard. He is approachable if you have any queries. All personal trainers here are very kind and approachable! However, the building is small despite it having 3 floors to exercise. Do come when it is not peak hours to avoid crowded exercise floors.

    I’ve been going to this gym for 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier. Staff are all very friendly, equipment is clean and there’s enough to cater every workout. Bathrooms are also kept to a high standard.. but the best thing about this is that it doesn’t get busy till the evening slot so for a lunchtime workout it’s perfect.. today there was literally one other person in the weights area.. highly recommend but avoid lunchtime please 😂

    Fantastic gym , the staff are way too friendly I have spend there 2 months now and I always had a better experience while doing workout. I started from the bottom and now I feel my progress. The trainer/GM game me a good suggestion and I have been following that since that day and now damnnn man thank you so much for this suggestion I already feel my strength now. Hope I will always be a part of your membership untill I get to the desired top. Cheers man and cheers to this gym.

    Great staff and the manager (George) is such a friendly and welcoming guy. The gym has a decent range of equipment and many regulars, including myself. It does get very busy at times. The blackboard wall always has some inspiring or funny messages, ideas on challenges and recipe ideas. Definitely missing in lockdown.

  • 5/5 Hasan A. 5 years ago on Google
    The gym is one of the best in the area from several factors. First, its safety and security premises allowed me to visit 24/7 feeling safe at all times. Another factor is the general cleanness of the gym, the machines, and most importantly the showers and bathrooms. They are clean at all times. The staff are friendly, helpful and always ready to give advice. I highly recommend.

  • 1/5 Ilona G. 3 years ago on Google
    For some reason the management decided to keep charging people for the services the could not provide during lockdown. Got charged full amounts for 2 months until noticed it. Was promised a refund that I never received. Consulted a legal advisor, that said that this is FRAUD as the gym received a government support also, and not have done this! Please do also report to HMRC if you have also been a victim of this scam.

    absolutely one of the most unhelpful people i have ever met. wanted to cancel my membership and told me i was on a 12 month contract that i did NOT know or agree to. i applied together with a friend and she was able to cancel hers just fine but they said i can’t because i’m on a different contract which makes zero sense when we signed up together for the same contract ?… weird. Been trying to get help and emailing them as it’s a mistake they clearly made and they have been so unhelpful. feel like i’ve been scammed do not go here.

    I have been a member for more than 3 years and I really enjoy working out at Anytime Fitness KX. The gym is very cosy, well-equipped, and super clean. You’ve got everything you need for a great workout. Also, the manager and the staff members are fantastic, friendly and always helpful. I highly recommend this gym.

    Visited the gym today for an introduction and Agnes at the gym was extremely helpful. She showed me around the gym, explaining where everything is, the peak times and even gave me some encouragement getting back into my fitness. The gym is a really nice size, is lovely and clean and has everything you need for a good full body workout. Excited to get back into it with Anytime Fitness Kings Cross!
