BLOK Clapton - (Near Hackney, UK)

5 /5 Sinclair The Mage: Yeeehhhh BLOK is serious!! It’s the kind of place when you get there you say to yourself “this is what I’m talking bout”. Great facilities and trainers, whether boxing, Pilates or a hot and cold plunge it’s a dope and safe experience. The staff are incredible, so accommodating and don’t forget to grab a protein shake they are elite. Defo recommended for people who want a pro workout in a great atmosphere for sure.

2 /5 Rebecca Wingrad: The prices at Blok continue to go up without reflecting value for members. The cost is closing in on Third Space, which has a swimming pool and gym, significantly more classes and facilities and is a premium wellness centre. The changing rooms arent cleaned frequently enough. There are only 2 showers in the sauna, so when each session finishes you might wait 15 - 20 minutes for a shower in a queue. A few years ago all instructors were outstanding, but now it seems like a couple of instructors arent on the same level. This would all be acceptable if prices didnt keep hiking to unjustifiable levels.

2 /5 Lola London: The class was good (just OK, not great not bad) but the dressing rooms are too small for the amount of people, the floors are wet, the toiletries are cheap. To add to that there’s construction works that make talking to receptionists impossible, the tap in the changing room leaks, and there’s no lights in the corridor. It’s not worth it for how expensive it is

3 /5 lili fang: HOT + COLD GUIDED: Unwind INSTRUCTOR Evelyn Adams I attended a session and noticed that Evelyn was very focused on correcting my every action. She specifically told me not to wear a necklace, instructed me not to stand on the wooden platform before entering the water, and even during the sauna and rinsing afterwards, she continued to closely monitor my actions. For example, she reminded me to turn off the water even though others could continue using it, and if I chose a certain sauna seat, she would not use that area herself. Other participants did not seem to receive the same level of scrutiny, and I felt singled out. While I understand that guidance and safety are important, her approach felt overly strict and constant, which made the experience less comfortable for me. I believe coaching should balance instruction with respect for participants’ autonomy and comfort. I hope in the future, guidance can be given in a supportive way that allows people to enjoy the session without feeling overly monitored.

5 /5 Shirley Ly: Fabulous gym, the instructors are very supportive. My first time boxing with Declan and he was incredibly patient with me, giving me one to one guidance and support. Thank you!!!
