Equinox Kensington - (Near Lambeth, UK)

5 /5 Mona Kiwan: Love this gym! Been working out there for over a month (mostly weight training) and have been really enjoying it so far. The space is beautiful and well-maintained, so it has been motivating me to come consistently. I’ve done a couple classes which were good as well.

3 /5 R Zar: I had heard a lot of good things about this club and, with the great promotional discount over the next three months, I decided to visit with the idea of joining. The gym area itself was excellent, exactly as advertised on Google, but unfortunately, the rest of the facilities had very little to offer. Even with the “3 months free” promotion, the price of £250 per month felt far too high for a club without a proper pool, sauna, or jacuzzi. There was only a small steam room located within the changing area, separated for men and women, which could be useful but certainly not enough to justify the cost. Overall, while the gym space was impressive, the lack of other facilities meant nothing convinced me to sign up for membership.

5 /5 Arina Tetera: I have trained at many gyms in London and other cities, from every single one of the big chains to smaller local gyms. Equinox Kensington is genuinely my favourite place to be. There’s daylight (it gets beautiful especially in the evenings in summer months as the sun shines through the metal lattice of the big, historic windows drenching the gym in patterns of warm light), the music isn’t overly loud, while there are busier peak times just like at any other gym, it is spacious and comfortable the majority of the day, the equipment is amazing and they have staff tidying up the floor and equipment constantly! The dumbbells are ALWAYS sorted by number and in the right place. The best part however is the location and community. I found some of my best friends there and it’s a great place to find a network of ambitious and health & fitness oriented people that enrich your own training and inspire to be better. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else ❤️

2 /5 Andrew Baker: I was a member here for a year. Previously a member of Third Space, I joined because this was closer to home but - so disappointed was I with the offering at Equinox - I have since rejoined Third Space even though it’s a bit out of the way for me. A few things to be aware of: pricing is high - £290 pcm - but you can only access one gym, you’re locked into a 12 month contract, the equipment is dated, none of the classes I went to were particularly good, the changing rooms are old, the showers feel run down and are often being repaired, the toilets are often smelly and dirty etc. The whole gym just doesn’t feel like a premium offering at all and just doesn’t justify the price tag. Equinox? EquiNO.

1 /5 Eleanor Shipulina: I’m currently a member but not really sure why I’m still here. The amenities are poor, the gym equipment is very dated and there isn’t enough of it to meet demand. The receptionist’s attitude is poor, which makes the overall experience even worse. I would not recommend joining.
