Gymbox Westfield London - (Near , UK)

1 /5 Ashley Vu: I used to love this gym so much, but it has completely gone downhill since the new management took over. Complete negligence and lack of care on all the facilities. The boxing ring, which is the heart of this gym, is falling apart with zero attention from the gym for weeks. Weights are left everywhere and never been put back to the right places. All the members I know are so unhappy with this gym. It is so clear that Gymbox management only focuses in their fancy marketing to draw new people in and squeeze money out of all its members. They increased the prices and yet slowly takes things away and reduces the quality of the gym. There is also talk of them removing combat areas completely which will be the final nail in their coffin as it looks to alleniate its loyal members more and more. Gymbox - wake up!

1 /5 RSR 23: I used to genuinely enjoy coming to this gym, but ever since the new management stepped in, everything has gone completely downhill. The level of neglect across the facilities is unbelievable. Equipment is constantly broken or worn out, and nothing ever gets fixed in a reasonable timeframe. The combat area, one of the main reasons so many of us joined in the first place, is deteriorating with no effort from the gym to maintain it. Weights are scattered everywhere, machines are left in disrepair, and it feels like no one on staff actually cares about the members anymore. It’s painfully obvious that the only thing Gymbox management seems to prioritise now is flashy advertising and getting new sign-ups through the door. Prices keep going up, yet the quality of the gym keeps dropping. They add extra charges, remove useful equipment, and reduce the very things that made the gym special to begin with. I’ve heard from several regulars that they’re even considering phasing out some of the combat sections entirely, which would be a massive mistake and a slap in the face to the loyal community that built this place. Gymbox, seriously, get it together. Your members deserve better.

2 /5 Kosta: Deteriorated Gym, and Not in the Good Way. Been a member for 6+ years. Have seen negligible reinvestment of gym membership fees. I’m talking upkeep of equipment, not procurement of 3 additional pull-up bar pulley stations to provide a grand total of six pull up bars, before counting the calisthetic bars. I can do pull ups at home. Grappling zone mats haven’t been replaced since I joined. Boxing ring cover is held together with duct tape. Boxing bags are falling apart (though those bags take some punishment keep grinding lads). Sauna’s out of order for almost 6 weeks, meaning it’s been good for nothing over flu season and the cold months of November/December. Incessant cleanliness issues in the changing rooms. Yes, we’ve received new pulley machines this year, but PureGym installed a new compliment battery of BootyBuilder machines, and back at GymBox all the carabiners for the cable machines have promptly gone walkies. Procurement have decided to stock the gym with 4 different brands of weights, meaning only the power racks have a decent number if weights, for everything else you have to go on a pilgrimage from one end of the gym to the other to rack up a symmetrical bar. Was going to give 3 stars until coming in today and not being able to find enough carabiners for the pull up cable stations… Only thing that keeps me going is the full padded-wall grappling zone, but this place doesn’t seem to appreciate that for the worth it has - there’s word that the grappling zone is going to go. Over 6 years I’ve introduced 8 members to the gym just thanks to that zone alone. Unable to get the same concessionary membership I have, all but 1 have discontinued their memberships, if the grappling zone goes I’ll have zero reason to point colleagues and training partners here. I remembered coming in to see a fully matted zone, a full size crash mat and a welcoming combat community, now it’s a sad six years later to see classes canned and the community at risk being pushed out. But hey, we got a new sled with HYROX stamped on it.

1 /5 Darren Flatley: Since the takeover they have neglected the boxing ring repairs, there not enough pads for boxing and Muay Thai classes anymore. There are rumours that they are removing the combat completely, if that’s the case might as well join fitness first as that’s cheaper and has better equipment.

1 /5 Han Rou Zheng: I’ve really enjoyed being a member at Gymbox, mainly because of the combat sports community. The boxing and MMA classes are the reason I signed up, and they’ve been a huge part of my training routine. The coaches are excellent, the sessions are well structured, and the atmosphere is something you don’t find in most commercial gyms. Hearing that the combat classes might be removed is really disappointing, as they’re a major part of what gives Gymbox its identity. I hope management reconsiders this decision, because many of us come specifically for the combat training and would love to see it remain a core part of the gym.
