    The gym is well equipped, the trainers are top notch and admin is on point. Workouts are thoughtfully designed and are consistently challenging. You can also track your workouts and progress over time using an app. I highly recommend Chris’ 1on1 PT and the small group classes with either Chris or Jamie.

    The best gym with amazing, talented, motivating and inspiring people! SGPT sessions are fun and will surely push you to do that one more rep and push harder. PBs are part of your journey without any doubt :) I absolutely love the Engine Room Family. Highly recommended!

    One of LDNs best kept secrets. If Calrsberg made gyms this would be it! It is incredibly clear that Chris and his team care about the well being and progress of every member. I have never known a gym so welcoming and committed to their clients, and I have tried several. Great vibes, the team of trainers are amazing, good for banter and really supportive. Love this place!

    Working out at Engine Room has been one of the best decisions I have made since moving to London. It is a beautifully designed and well-equipped space that is the home of a supportive and active health and wellness community, championed by personable and knowledgeable trainers. I look forward to each and every session, knowing that I am going to be pushed to my best!

    I am thrilled to have discovered Engine Room, I never thought I would hear myself say I miss the gym! I signed up at the end of April for a month's trial, and since decided to take up membership. The Engine Room team are brilliant! I was nervous when I first got involved, but now it's such an important part of my weekly routine. 8 weeks in and I am feeling great and seeing results. They are a lovely bunch, and there's no pressure or judging. And the venue itself is great! If anyone is contemplating hitting the gym, definitely give Engine Room a try! Highly recommended : )

    Truly great gym and community environment. Cannot praise the trainers enough for their thoughtful approach and watchful coaching throughout all sessions. The atompshere is the opposite to most class dynamics elsewhere in London, smaller intimate workouts, no intimidation or sacrificing form to get the calorie burn. Highly recommend. Early morning and late PM classes for those with long working days is a plus too. As another reviewer mentioned, great facilities downstairs to shower, blow dry, GHDs etc!

    Engine Room has the best workout ethos you will find. The best, friendliest trainers, great facilities and challenging programs to get you the results you want. I cannot rave enough about the team and how they have helped me achieve my goals. The small group classes have a great atmosphere and, although not 1-2-1 you really feel you’re getting the same attention. Do yourself a favour and become a member and join a great community! Thanks team!

    Been trying to lose weight and going to different gyms for the last 10 years, this is the best gym I've ever been to and the first where i've been able to see gains. On top of this, going here doesn't feel like your doing a chore, but more like visiting friends who smile to you when you walk by and genuinely care about you which is a huge factor in getting the motivation to keep going. I can whole heartedly recommend it.

    Passionate, precise, progressive coaching. Amazing experience AMAZING and transformative I could go on but the stats speak for themselves; between Jan 2nd-Feb 4th 2023, I lost 8.5 inches, 3.2kg of fat, 8 years off my metabolic age and gained 2.8kg of muscle. A friend who works in the fitness industry recommended The Engine Room- I’d never lifted weights before so I was really apprehensive and a bit scared! But it has been incredible. From the moment I made contact it’s been friendly and accessible. Amber answered all my many questions. Chris, Jamie and Bailey are all excellent highly skilled, knowledgeable coaches and push you to perform your very best on each visit with personalised tips which deliver results. I combined 2 SPGT (55min) with two classes (45min) a week, classes run literally all day so there is always something available and was manageable with my full time job. I Followed ‘roughly’ (I am a pizza and wine lover!) the veggie meal plan I was given and saw results quickly. Started lifting 21Kg weights with squats and got up to 47Kg in just 8 weeks. The venue, equipment and lights are all fantastic. Towels, toiletries, hairdryers, GHDs all provided so all you need to remember to pack is your gym kit! My GP prescribed me HRT last year for low oestrogen, low mood and general lethargy. I didn’t take the HRT after reading the side effects and seriously don’t feel like I need it now having been going to the Engine Room regularly for two months. The Engine Room is definately the best prescription for physical and mental wellbeing- I can’t recommend it enough! Getting into my size 10 jeans for the first time since 2019 is an added bonus! Don’t delay try the introductory 30 day trial today!

    Engine Room is a brilliant boutique gym which provides and inclusive and welcoming environment for people of all fitness abilities to come and enjoy exercise together. Over the last year I have learnt how to lift weights, do indoor rowing and made loads of friends. Engine Room has changed my body, made me feel strong and given me confidence - I couldn’t recommend this gym more highly!

    Just great ! I did not think a gym could be such a friendly place. The trainers are definitely skilled from a technical standpoint ; but more importantly, they always keep an eye on you and make you feel at home. I recommend to anybody who wants to be fit and healthy to join Engine Room 😉

    Jamie‘s rowing workout is great. First, he’s pushing you to go where it hurts, so you can improve. Second, his core exercises teaches to prevent injuries, and helps with any type of fitness goal, be it rowing, lifting, or other sports. I just wish these rowing classes would be scheduled more frequently.

    I haven't felt more encouraged, supported or positively challenged by any place in the way that Engine Room gives. Beyond the professional guidance and structured phased workouts (with key milestones to measure performance and reset goals), the team bring a true sense of honesty, openness, character and delight to an environment that many can feel may feel hesitant or intimidated by. It really is the opposite of such assumptions, and I can't stress how much coming here for the past years has changed my perspective in the best way about myself and my health.

    I attended a full body workout and an upper body session last week with Chris and Jamie and I found them absolutely amazing. Their attention to details and professionalism made me feel calm and ready for any challenge. They were very attentive and generous with their time- explaining any move and what area is targeted. I will be recommending engine room to all of my friends. The gym is in a beautifully converted church and the equipment is brand new.

    If you want the best rowing experience or class you have to go to the Engine Room near Regents Park. Try it yourself or with some friends for a competitive session. Take your business team for some bonding or challenge your client for some relationship building. They will love it and its such fun Just ask for Chris the most experienced guy in London for leading edge fitness training that's different and fun . I'm training 2 Olympic hopefuls there Husein and Rakan under Chris. Bill Barry OLY International Sports Coach

    Fantastic gym with small group training sessions. Second month of membership after the 30 day trial and I'm already seeing changes to my fitness and my body shape. Friendly trainers and plenty of time slots for sessions. Highly recommended

    I simply cannot recommend this place highly enough. A welcoming, comprehensive and family-feel gym in the heart of London. My partner and I are getting married in September and signed up to their 30 day trial, it was absolutely brilliant. We couldn't get enough of the classes! We will be joining full time as a result of our positive experience. Trainers The trainers are all really knowledgable and approachable, we particularly enjoyed their 'small group personal training' sessions, which give you the attention of a one-to-one training session, but in a small and dynamic, sociable group setting. We were mainly trained by Jamie, who was always enthusiastic, motivating and highly professional. We had so much fun. Facilities The facilities are also brilliant - clean, well thought out - with lovely finishing touches such as GHDs, fresh towels and lovely shower soaps. Classes and Variety There's a great range of classes to do, the owners Chris and Kelly have really thought this through considering the needs of their clients. My personal favourite classes were Yoga with Hannah and Small Group Training with Jamie, whilst my partner really loved the Rowing with Chris. Technology Another great element of the training is that they provide you with a MyZone belt which helps to keep you motivated during sessions, and to focus on competing against yourself to improve each session. Overall If you're looking for an inclusive, friendly and results-focused gym, with great facilities and even better trainers...The Engine Room is for you!

    Group rowing HIIT class: Great gym concept going on here in a great location of a church! Provides the ultimate full body workout using rowing machine and weights. High quality studio and equipment and the instructor and staff are friendly and motivating! Loved this gym. A state of the art rowing studio hidden in a church!

    By far the gym that leads to the best results. Chris and his team are true professionals and know how to get results. The gym is in the perfect location, has great balance of strength and cardio equipment and convenient changing rooms. The clients are loyal and the atmosphere couldn’t be more fun.

    Dropped into one of The Engine Room rowing classes at the weekend. As an Olympic Rower (92/96/04) I found the coaching of the rowing stroke was first class, and the workout had all the elements of a proper hard rowing training session. Highly recommended Niall O'Toole OLY

    The Engine room is a fantastic bespoke gym which combines excellent training and indoor rowing coaching alongside creating a really warm and inclusive sense of community. I have towed there for a few years however started the small personal training classes a few months ago. My fitness, strength and confidence have improved massively and I have made a lovely group of friends.

  • 5/5 AJ B. 2 years ago on Google
    The Engine Room is my favourite place to workout. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the training facilities are top class. I found the small group personal training sessions incredibly rewarding and after 30 days I saw a massive improvement in both my physical and mental well-being. I love the competitive nature of the myzone technology and also the camaraderie within the sessions. All the trainers are brilliant at reinforcing and encouraging whilst making sure your technique and form is correct. The standard of training is top level and I felt lucky to have such amazing coaching. In short, The Engine Room is the place to be!

    I host life drawing hen parties here. The venue is very conveniently located, I used to have difficulty getting guests to find it, but they've updated their Google location and it's much better now. The staff are always friendly and helpful (with a knowing smile on their faces ;). The facilities are perfect for what I need with the chairs and desks provided. I've popped my head into the gym, and though I haven't used it, it's a very impressive gym too.

  • 5/5 Eugenie C Yen (. 8 months ago on Google
    My partner and I saw an Instagram advert for the 30 day trial and signed up immediately - best decision ever, and we look forward to many more sessions as members after! We used to do a lot of Barry's-style circuit classes, but weren't seeing the results we wanted. Engine Room's approach suits us perfectly - we love the personal training style with a strong focus on form and tracking, and are already seeing strength improvements after a few weeks. All of the trainers are also super friendly and knowledgable, so it's a joy coming to the gym. Big shout out to Bailey, who we've done most of our sessions with during the trial. He is always energetic, fun and attentive, and never fails to leave us with jelly muscles and a smile!
