BLOK Shoreditch - (Near City of London, UK)

5 /5 Case Italiane: Blok instructors are excellent and very professionals. The class variety is brilliant and I love barre sessions with ellya and Christina. Protein shakes are very good too and the reformer studio v well equipped. I’m surprised by so many negative reviews - I haven’t had issues at all and I have used both their own class packs and Class pass. Yes changing rooms aren’t that big and can definitely do with more TLC and fixes and a cleaning, and towels are charged for but frankly not that much of a bother given how good the classes are

5 /5 Leticia Sanches: I have only ever attended 2 classes, both Yang yin flow with Heidi G. And both experiences were amazing. The class had a good number of people so it didn’t feel crowded and instructor was kind with my level of yoga and offered alternatives. From what I can see on the reviews, yes hygiene could be an issue as some mats are damaged and old and you’re left to other people’s cleaning standards, but I do think that’s something you’d come across in all other gyms. Other than that, my experience has been great so far and I’m planning to come back :)

4 /5 Shanay Tia: Nice modern studio. The rocket instructor and reception were really nice. Mats were free to use but well kept. More locker space is needed as the changing rooms were quite cramped.

2 /5 Jey V: I love BLOK and my review is in hope of some policies to hopefully change. I have been booking classes for about 2 years and tried them all. Fantastic instructors. Not ideal showers and towel £1, I can live with that. What I cannot tolerate anymore is the amount of people popping sick to classes. I can bet I even got a fungal nail here (I know). I shared this feedback and their response is “we cannot control people booking ill”. But then I realised other reviewers noticed that the rigid cancellation policy may be to blame. ClassPass and BLOK are the same type of business model, perhaps they should have something like “3 cancellations / year” policy. If you get sick or issues more than 3 / year you may be better out the membership. Considering most classes are female based and many pregnant gals, plus super dirty mats, is just irresponsible. If you have any health situation that requires extra care, you could easily get bacterial/fungal infections just from the dirty mats (again, left to people to “spray” them as they go). Plus the ones coming over with a flu from hell. I have decided to move to another place that has classes for members only so …I assume no cancellation craziness as we are all charged a flat rate no matter what. Again all the best for the instructors and staff as they are FANTASTIC
