Vive Fitness Westminster - (Near Westminster, UK)

K Mac This has been my home club since 2010. It’s always been a really comfortable place to come to work out. Some reviews and comments reference the club being small but as a centrally located gym I would argue that to be misleading. Yes it is small compared to the non-city centre warehouse style gyms but this is zone 1 in London and it definitely stands in line with most other local gyms. It has a great size gym floor stocked with continually renewed machines, a sprung floor studio plus spin studio. The changing rooms have newly installed saunas (yes they are small but they are proportionate) which is great after a session. The current management team are genuinely awesome. Irma is beautiful soul who always greets me with a wide smile pure warmth…I literally have no complaints.

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!

Simon Bailey I’d been struggling with motivation, with discipline and with productivity. Convinced myself I had no time to achieve what I wanted to achieve physically, so on a whim I talked to BMF and they had this 6 week course which sounded like the right fit. It was. I can’t express how much this has changed me and helped me. Jackson and all the team have been so motivating, so encouraging and made me believe that anything is possible again and as a result, I’m more productive, more positive, more creative. My relationships with food, with alcohol, with exercise have changed dramatically. I’m just a better version of myself than I’ve ever been. I can’t thank BMF enough for everything they have done and would recommend to everyone, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Alison Pritchard I’ve been going to F45 BP for only a few months now but it already feels like a community. The coaches work hard to know people by name and make everyone feel included and pumped up for each class. I also love that both coaches stay engaged the entire class and assist with form and effort levels and push those of us who want to be pushed! I enjoy the classes very much for both building strength and conditioning. Would highly recommend this studio!!

Maya Eddison Highly recommend Dans spin classes, they’re small group classes with a lovely high energy atmosphere. He pushes you just enough without over doing it unlike a lot of other classes I’ve been to. Amazing value for such a great workout!
