Glenda Health and Wellbeing - (Near Redbridge, UK)

Paul Silver I am delighted to say, that my recent experience with Nuffield health Chigwell has been excellent. I had a problem with gym equipment that needed attention. To my pleasant surprise, Charlotte on reception was extremely efficient, polite and helpful. She involved her Manager Kingsley into solving the issue and they both rectified it without any fuss, "brilliant!" I then had a couple of membership issues that were handled by the wonderful Rebecca in membership. Nothing was too much trouble for Rebecca and over emails, Rebecca was kind, polite and on top of it throughout. You are a credit to your employer, thank you all.

Shahriyar Hassan This place goes way beyond boxing. Backroom Boxing gave me structure, drive, and a way out of my rut. The PT sessions are tailored to your mindset, mood, and physical goals. Every round feels purposeful. The coaching is intense but supportive, focused but personal. Hands down a 10/10. Zero hesitation recommending it.so good i had to take my nephew who loved the challenge!

Sonia Sylvester I have been training with Vaz for some time now and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His approach is the perfect blend of patience and professionalism which has made a difference in my fitness journey. He motivates me and gives me that extra push even when I feel I cant go any further. He is clearly passionate about what he does and it shows. He never lets me settle for less than my best. Thank you Vaz you are a star. x

F Ahmad I moved to Virgin Active Repton Park in January after spending 5 years at Nuffield Health, and the difference has been a complete revelation. Nuffield raised prices twice in a year, removed key facilities like the jacuzzi without offering any discount, and the overall atmosphere — especially with some PTs — felt disrespectful and unfair. That experience pushed me to leave. Virgin Active has been the opposite in every way. From the gated community car park where you know your car is safe, to the friendly and welcoming reception team who greet you with a smile and provide fresh towels on every visit, the hospitality here is on another level. The locker rooms are a bit outdated and could use a modern refresh, but they’re always clean. The gym floor is great, though I do wish it had a bit more space and additional machines — especially a dedicated bicep machine. The real highlight of this club is the spa area. The sauna and steam room were recently renovated and are consistently in perfect working condition. The jacuzzi is incredibly relaxing, and the swimming pool is huge. As someone who’s been bodybuilding for over 10 years, having high-quality recovery facilities makes a massive difference. The architecture of the building is beautiful — transforming an old church into a gym gives the whole place a unique, almost royal feel. Overall, Virgin Active Repton Park delivers exceptional value, atmosphere, and service. Easily one of the best fitness clubs I’ve ever been a part of.
