Awa Chats I went to the joint pain programme after hearing about it following my physio sessions at St George’s hospital. I was a little apprehensive as I’ve never been to the gym before. Ryan did an assessment with me to find out what my level was… it’s necessary! After the first session I was in pain but it was a different kind of pain. I was using parts of my body that I hadn’t used in ages! I’ve had a lower back pain for years but this pain was new. It was a healthy pain. The pain came from the muscles in my body that I ‘should have been using’ but wasn’t due to my body compensating the pain I was permanently in. OMG! This was a complete revelation… I was using wrong parts of my body to do everyday exercises and I never knew that. Alex, trainer and class teacher is absolutely brilliant. I’m sure she has memorised each person’s capabilities because she give us the same exercises but they are sort-of-ish tailored to each person. She’s amazing! I never got that feeling where I couldn’t be bothered to go. I even went to the class when I felt rough because I knew it would make me feel better. Exercising is not just a physical activity but it’s a mental one too. It makes me feel so good inside and I can’t recommend the joint pain programme enough. I tell everyone about it! I’m just sad that the 12 weeks programme has come to an end. It helped me so much and although I’ve another 12 weeks, that is going to fly by. Thank you Alex, the team and thank you Nuffield Health for providing this invaluable service!

Dmitry S The only decent indoor tennis venue in whole of central London! Best option for rainy and windy days to play tennis at.

David Rebello Great experience. Super clean changing room, spa centre. Staff helpful and very attentive. Well worth a visit.

Tom Sparks Epic new Reformer Pilates studio! Megan is a fantastic instructor, especially for beginners like myself. She gave me a number of adjustments to help my form. Great vibe with a super friendly team. I’m now hooked to the Pilates life

Sabrina Carta Had a wonderful day at the spa. Facilities were clean, staff were very helpful and overall I had a very relaxed experience. I had lunch at the gate and the staff were attentive and service was quick. The food was good. The only thing I would say is it should be mentioned on the spa website that you only get 4 hours complimentary parking. Overall I’d recommend to others considering coming for a spa day.

vee ill Fantastic circuit classes and outstanding gym instructors! They helped me train for both HYROX London and the Spartan Beast 21km. The gym has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere—they’re great at helping break the ice and making it easy to meet new people.
