LSBU Active Sports Centre - (Near Southwark, UK)

Sharelle Velinor I absolutely love these classes! Being able to join from the comfort of my own home takes the pressure off and helps me focus without distractions. I’m quite new to Pilates and initially joined after experiencing sciatica, sessions have truly delivered, and I’ve seen massive improvements. Each class leaves me feeling empowered and stronger. I love how I’m consistently challenged and encouraged to push my body beyond its comfort zone. Having access to the recordings is also a huge bonus, allowing me to practise whenever I like during the week. Marietta is an incredible teacher. She guides you through every movement with clarity and uses great analogies to help you engage the right muscles. Her supportive energy, encouragement, and attention to detail make all the difference, she not only helps you improve but makes the entire session enjoyable. Since joining, I’ve noticed real changes in both my physical and mental wellbeing my posture, strength, and confidence have all improved. Monday nights are officially Pilates night — no social plans or phone calls allowed! If you’re thinking about joining, you won’t be disappointed.

David Giraldo I joined BMF Urban a year ago and I love it. Ive been attending 4/5 times a week and never felt stronger and fitter before. Trainers know what theyre doing and the equipment is great. I highly recommend this place.

Cecilia Compton Such a nice supportive place to take classes! Lots of variety of classes. My favourites are Barre and Pilates. However, when I ventured outside of my comfort zone and started spin I still felt motivated each class. Class sizes are small even in full classes. Best value classes in the area and they get cheaper per class if you are a member or buy class packs. Lastly and most importantly for me the teachers are supportive while pushing you to get the most out of the classes. Gavin and Lee are the best!

Bushra Farhana I’ve been going to Target Fit for almost two years now, and it truly feels like my second home. The trainers—Nicole, Carl, Natalie, Adnan, Gabriel, Jerome, usher….all are amazing, super helpful, and always keep me motivated. I never enjoyed working out before, but they’ve completely changed that for me. It’s not just about the equipment or the space (which are great), it’s the energy, the community, and the genuine support you feel the moment you walk in. Honestly, it’s not just the best gym in the area or in London—it might be the best in the world. I love, love, love this place and recommend it to anyone looking for more than just a workout.

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.
