BXR City - (Near City of London, UK)

5 /5 The Lit Brit: Had such a good time here! The gym itself is beautiful, good amenities especially the sauna. Reception team as well are amazing. Thank you especially to Gigi - I had an issue with ClassPass for myself and my friend coming to one of the strength and conditioning classes. She calmly and incredibly politely sorted us out, explained everything from BXR’s end and resolved the issue within about 2 minutes of talking to her. It is really appreciated :)

5 /5 Elif Sila: I’ve been a member at BXR Gym for over three years, and I can honestly say it’s a fantastic place to train. The reception and management teams are always friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about the members — they really listen and create a welcoming atmosphere. The view from the gym is amazing and gives you that extra motivation to show up every day. The classes are such a vibe — full of energy and fun — and the trainers are absolutely lovely. The gym hours are also very convenient, with doors opening as early as 6:15 AM, which is perfect for early risers like me. If I had to point out any cons, it would be that the changing rooms can be a bit slow, and it can get a little crowded during peak hours. But overall, these are small things compared to everything the gym offers.

4 /5 Amira Lakhouane: Nice luxe gym on the 25th floor of 22 Bishopsgate. Has all the main equipment but if you’re an avid lifter or into bodybuilding it is definitely lacking. The classes are meant to be good and that seems to be what most people visit for. The gym floor is never super busy which is nice. The views are stunning but once the novelty wears off you get used to it. Changing rooms could be bigger with more showers. Staff are super nice, and the members. The closing times aren’t great, especially on a Saturday and not open on Sunday, and that’s the main reason for me not giving 5 stars, as well as lack of additional equipment that would be nice, e.g Smith Machine, even smaller barbells, but the gym just isn’t big enough to accommodate this. Update: gym is open till 4 on Saturday and until 2 on Sundays. Still not great but better than before.

5 /5 Hannah: I work nearby and wanted a gym with equipment that caters to functional training and has a bright open area to do BW conditioning, and tried the Pan Pacific, Gymbox, Equinox and Third Space before finding this place. What I appreciate besides general cleanliness (lack of BO smell cough Equinox), beautiful space and well-maintained equipment is that fellow gym-goers genuinely just mind their own business and the smaller space and community adds to a sense of privacy. The membership options were helpful given that I already have access to two gyms at home. ps Had also read the other reviews before checking the gym out, and would say that while the observations about influencers are correct (albeit mixed, eg while one has physically moved my things out of the way and didnt bother pointing out where shed thrown them even though I was looking for them right in front of her, another has been nothing but polite when asking she could use an area for filming), Im not sure what happened with the comment on Fred. When I went for a tour, it was clear that I was only after a WFH membership and had specific needs, and he was very upfront about the costs and pros and cons of the space. He as with all of the staff are pleasant and professional, and non-judgmental (I can point you to certain gyms if you want to be judged based on your appearance or the colour of your skin), which makes it a pretty nice place to train in.
