Clinton McKenzies Boxing & Fitness Club - (Near , UK)

Prachi Priyadarshini When I started I was quite pleased with it. My induction class was good, I tried a few spin classes and they were fun too. Some of the PTs seemed friendly which is a bonus. The bathrooms and changing rooms are also kept clean. However, in the past few months I’ve noticed the services decline. A few weeks ago the AC was not working and it felt like working out in a sauna, it felt like there was no ventilation which felt like an awful thing during peak time when it was packed with people. That took a couple of days to get fixed. Recently, the gym was flooded in certain areas, and they eventually closed the gym again to fix it. It’s now been 7 days of the gym being closed… it wasn’t a planned closure which was communicated ahead of time. The fact that we have to still pay full while a fourth or more of the month the gym isn’t even open is not okay. Many of these factors completely disrupt my fitness routine and the basic quality of gym service you should be getting. Allowing access to other gyms while this one is shut down for days is still inconvenient because not all of us can accommodate that. The gym is also not 24/7 which a lot of others pointed out too and that makes it difficult because you have to plan your day around the gym rather than the other way around. Overall I echo other reviewers sentiments on school-going / younger groups of kids sitting idly on machines and chatting with friends for 30 mins. If you ask some of them how many sets they have left, you usually have to wait for the whole group to be done. Some people look offended if you ask them how many sets they have left even when they’ve just been sitting and scrolling on their phones and not using the machine. I’ve also had a run-in with a rude trainer recently but I can’t say that they’re all the same - I’ve had some good initial conversations with Frank and Leyla and if you look at the other reviews you’ll figure that it’s only the good PTs and decent equipment keeping this gym alive.

Cristiana Filipa This gym is absolutely amazing! The facilities are top-notch, the staff are always friendly and supportive, and the prices are very affordable compared to other places in London. Honestly, I think it’s the best gym in the city — highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to train! A special mention to Lucy, my personal trainer — she’s incredible! She motivates me so much and has a unique style of training that I’ve never experienced before. Also, Lauren is always so sweet and helpful, which makes coming here even better.

Anju Mac Came here for the first time and I was truly amazed!! I’m currently on a mission to visit and review all Southwark sites, so far I’ve been to Dulwich, Peckham and Camberwell, with Dulwich leading but after today the Castle is definitely the best so far!! Great customer service, the place was spotless, it’s got a nice layout. Very nice place to train and will definitely be back soon!! Sadly I didn’t have time to use the sauna/steam room as the site was closing. Also the canteen was closed so could sample any food, but it did look very tidy and clean. I’m glad I came here today, wish I had done so sooner!!!!!!!!

Damon Tedford Dropped in for a work out, and was impressed with the selection of equipment. Their front desk staff - David - was courteous and very helpful.

Zak Belk Ive only trained here twice before during my brief time back in london, and just the teachers are extremely friendly and its a very nice warm environment. I was watching the kids class for a bit and it was just very very nice and fun and friendly. I would recommend this place for anyone

Nick Mansell I’m no fighter… but… Chris and the team have welcomed me to the community. Meeting so many people with a shared interest has been great. The training is always physically challenging, great cardio and above all INTERESTING! If you’re thinking about stepping into a fight gym… come on down If you’ve walked past and wondered what goes on in there… come on down If you’ve any kind of interest in keeping fit but find normal gyms a bit dull… come on down. See you on the mats!!! @Chris and the whole team… well done for creating such a great environment.
