Anytime Fitness Balham - (Near , UK)

3 /5 Mitch: The gym is okay but is small/compact and struggles with the amount of people using it. When I joined last year, the only complaint was how busy it was. You’d have to be in the gym by 5:30/5:45am to have a good 45mins of a gym without having to wait for every machine or weight you want to use. In the evening you always have to wait for machines. That’s not necessarily the gym’s fault but when you take into account the monthly cost, it’s a bit frustrating. The equipment is also starting to look tired and broken. Machines are sometimes not available to use because they’re under repair and the pulleys etc are fraying. For these reasons I’m not renewing my membership and will be going to a lower cost gym which provides the same or better quality and experience.

1 /5 EC Chan: Such an over-subscribed gym is not paying for Les Mills license to have body pump, GRIT and combat classes. Like other reviews said, it’s super busy 5am - 10pm (as in the picture), so I’ve been doing pump classes since I joined. Yet many instructors walked out because this gym is not paying for Les Mills license. All classes are removed from the schedule and the gym did not bother to communicate anything. Also when members email the gym asking about the license - radio silence. They are now recycling bad instructors they stopped using due to people’s complaints. This past week (end of June 2025): I walked out of a 7am pump I used to do now taken over by a bad instructor, I found all treadmills & equipments busy… then went home in frustration. They put “AF instructor” instead of names so I walked into a Sat 9am pump and endured 45 mins of the free-styling class part of which happened without any music or weight.. Think twice before joining. By the way AC is rarely working. Some spin bikes are perpetually “temporarily out of order” - - Sep 2025 When you come to a class realising it’s a replacement instructor and you tell them you want to cancel, they mark you as missing class. After 3 times your membership gets suspended. They do NOT care you showed up in the class and it’s their fault not announcing who the instructor really is.

5 /5 Ada Krzesińska: I’ve had an excellent experience at this gym! The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and there’s a great variety of equipment for all fitness levels. What really made my experience stand out, though, was Szymon. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely motivated to see members succeed. Whether you’re new to the gym or more experienced, Szymon creates a welcoming and supportive environment.

5 /5 mrmartyn: Great little gym in the middle of Balham, especially if you are into your compound lifts - they have 5 Olympics racks. Equipment and communal areas are always clean. Staff are super friendly - they even let me charge my phone and help put my weights back!

5 /5 Mal Ibu: Amazing gym with community vibes. Been a member over 4 years and have always been very happy here. Clean and friendly with plenty of cardio, squat racks and benches. It can get busy at peak times as expected for a gym in London but its easy to avoid by going slightly before or after. Highly recommend
