Jemma Valentine Its been a great 4 months studying with No1 Fitness to gain my PT Level 3 qualification. The zoom classes were interactive and engaging which is why I choose No1 - learning by flicking through powerpoints without any chat or personal guidance just isnt for me. Classes were for 2 hours, twice a week and that was really good as it allowed me to recap on my learnings throughout the week. Constant communication with peers and tutors was made easy with various group chats. Totally worth jumping on the course with No1 Fitness they make the paperwork, assessments and exams feels like a breeze.

Petros If you want a gym that delivers real results, Roar is it. The PTs are genuinely supportive, the nutrition advice is practical and tailored, and the whole atmosphere pushes you to show up and give your best. In just a few weeks, my strength, form, and confidence have all taken a huge step forward. A special thanks to Matt, who’s been incredible to train with, and to Jack, whose nutrition guidance has made such a difference already. I’m genuinely excited for what’s ahead. Roar is an exceptional place to train — simple as that.

Nevada Jahja I am extremely happy that I started my fitness journey at Fitness First Bishopsgate. The gym is always very clean, especially the swimming pool and the showers, which is very important to me. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. I would especially like to mention Reuben, whose behavior and support have been outstanding. He is very kind, professional, and always willing to help, which makes the experience even better. Overall, this is a fantastic fitness center with a very positive and welcoming atmosphere. I am very satisfied with my decision to join this gym and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, supportive, and professional place to train.

Nadiah H Beautiful venue with a charming cafe with delicious homemade cakes and coffee. I come here to unwind and chat to lovely Annarita that runs the cafe.

Mass This gym has been a safe space for me to train, helped massively by how friendly and welcoming the staff and members are. For the money, the value is honestly unbelievable. A special big up to Oya (hope I’ve spelled your name right). He is amazing and takes immense pride in his work. He’s constantly helping and is a true pillar of a company that will only continue to grow from strength to strength. Mass

Ajith Asokan Fitness First Fenchurch Street has always been a staple for the City crowd, but the recent refurbishment has elevated it from a standard "basement grind" to a high-spec training environment. While the aesthetic upgrade is undeniable, the sheer technicality of the new kit introduces a significant learning curve for the average member. ​The Transformation ​The gym floor has transitioned to a much more open, industrial-chic layout. Gone are the cluttered rows of legacy machines, replaced by a curated selection of Technogym and Eleiko equipment. The lighting is sharper, the air conditioning actually works, and the functional training zone has been significantly expanded to accommodate the growing demand for HIIT and hybrid training. ​The Tech Gap: Innovation vs. Intuition ​The centerpiece of the refurb is the integration of ultra-modern biometric equipment. However, for those of us used to "pin and pull" machines, the new hardware feels like stepping onto the set of a sci-fi film. ​Biocircuit Integration: Many of the new resistance machines are now fully digital. If you dont have your app synced or your RFID band ready, the machine essentially stares back at you blankly. It’s no longer about "getting a pump"; it’s about data management. ​The "Mystery" Mechanics: Several pieces of equipment—particularly in the functional area—defy traditional logic. There is a cable-and-rail system near the back that looks like a prototype for a vertical slingshot. Without a PT standing nearby to explain the planes of motion, it remains a very expensive piece of modern art.
