Nuffield Health Friern Barnet Fitness & Wellbeing Gym - 264 Royal Dr
Julian Ponce I’ve just joined having sustained a running injury and used the gym for the first time today. I can say it’s a brilliant gym and was quiet at 830am so I didn’t have to wait to use any equipment. There’s a big range of cardio and weights. People here seem to want to just get on with their workout, and it’s not at all pretentious like other gyms I’ve used. The pool is decent and there’s a lovely sauna and steam room which look quite new.
The building has been described as ‘old’ in some reviews, possibly because it was built in the 1800s, so this is expected surely? How refreshing to find a leisure centre set in beautiful grounds and with stained glass windows.
Despite others saying it lacks cleanliness, I didn’t find this was the case. In my view, the price is much more reasonable than others I’ve looked at and there is a village / community feel, which is much more welcoming than some newer gyms which lack any character.
On signing up for membership, I was warmly welcomed and in my view received a level of customer service which is highly unusual for London. There was no pushy sales either. I was very impressed and it was a no brainer for me to part with £89 per month including blue light discount. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
