20 Best Gyms in London, UK

Best Gyms in London, UK

Choosing the top gyms in London is a highly subjective affair. On the one hand, high-end establishments such as Equinox, Third Space, and Virgin Active will pander to you with anti-gravity treadmills and Le Labo products. In other words, it’s hard to pick a single finest gym in London, therefore there is a comprehensive list.

1. Heartcore

Address: Heartcore, 723 Fulham Road, London, SW6 5UL

Price: From £20 per class

• Heartcore has something unique about it. Each of the seven studios in London – Bayswater, Chelsea, Fulham, Hampstead, Kensington, Notting Hill, and St John’s Wood – has its own distinct appearance and feel.
• The Chelsea studio, for example, has a massive gallery wall with an outstanding collection of artwork, the St John’s Wood studio is built in a renovated church, and the Fulham studio (my favorite) has bare brick walls that remind me of some chic Brooklyn apartment.

2. Third Space

Address: Third Space, 22 Clarges Street, London, W1J 5FA

Price: Membership rates start at £180 per month

• Third Space is so much more than a gym, with seven beautifully designed clubs across London – in Islington, Tower Bridge, Soho, City, Canary Wharf, Marylebone, and, most recently, Mayfair – all featuring outstanding fitness spaces and luxurious changing rooms filled with cowshed products and fluffy towels.

• In 2009, friends Pip Black and Joan Murphy opened the first Frame studio in Shoreditch with a single goal in mind: to make training entertaining.
• They wanted individuals to leave their concerns at the door and exercise their bodies just because it made them feel good, rather than just to burn calories.
• There’s a class for every day and mood – yoga to unwind, kettlebell courses to get you excited, rave and rebound to put a serious smile on your face, and classes with names like ‘ass and abs’ and ‘bend it like barbie’ that simply scream good vibes only. Inclusionary, approachable, and female-friendly.
