BBC Club Alive W1 Gym - (Near Westminster, UK)

Rupert Baker Hidden gem. Never too busy and so convenient.

Luke C Good gym but on the small side. 4 entry pods so never an issue of getting in and out. Changing room isnt the biggest and not enough benches/places to rest your bag but there is a lot of lockers available. Plenty of cardio machines, mainly treadmills. The weights area has a good selection of machines/free weights but spacing is tight so most days you will need to adjust your workout to what is available as it gets busy quickly due to size. Staff are friendly and helpful with somebody always available. Plenty of classes available but yet to take one. Vending machines with all the usual gym fare available by the entrance. I use this gym every day and generally enjoy it except when its over busy.

Anna Taylor Its on Marshall Street W1 and in the heart of Soho a stones throw from Carnaby street. Ive used the leisure centre couple of times. Theres a very well equipped gym and one of the biggest swimming pools in central London. You can also use the therapy room if you want to have a more relaxing day,recover and rejuvenate.

Oli Felix Health and Performance Studio on Little Portland Street is an outstanding training facility. The location is perfect—right in the heart of W1, making it incredibly convenient. The gym itself is state-of-the-art, with top-tier equipment that caters to serious lifters and athletes alike. What really stands out for me is the number of racks and barbells available. Coming from a barbell-oriented background, it’s refreshing to train in a space that prioritizes proper strength training equipment rather than just filling the gym with machines. Whether you’re into powerlifting, Olympic lifting, or general strength work, this place has everything you need. Highly recommend!

Yarpole Belfry Beyond terrible. Not fit to call itself a Virgin active. Grimy and disgusting. Hair everywhere. The cleaner was too busy having a sauna to do any real cleaning. The Jacuzzi had brown sediment in it. Its like a public baths from 1985. Its incredible anyone pays the fees to go here.

MoIdris Malik Good facilities with friendly staff and Paul at reception is amazing. I attend Hampton sometimes for badminton and the atmosphere is great and the coach Mannie is fantastic. They have 4 courts inside the sports hall.
