Shanti Fitness - (Near , UK)

Gemma Grant This is a genuinely fantastic independent gym in east London. The staff are friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, and the recovery suite is top-tier, a huge bonus that sets this place apart. I really enjoy the Tuesday evening run club and with different paced groups, it’s welcoming for both new runners and experienced ones, creating a great sense of community. The weights and cardio selection is ideal, and I’m excited to see they’re planning to install sled tracks soon! I also really value the independent nature of the gym. It’s refreshing to see real investment and passion going into a space rather than yet another franchise. The care, attention to detail, and overall experience here far exceeds anything I’ve had at the many franchise gyms I’ve been a member of over the years. A brilliant east London gem — highly recommend!

Rebecca Scott The manager and the team here are great - has a community atmosphere. It’s always clean and tidy and they try to find out what the community want in terms of classes. It is tiny! So be ready to be friendly with the other people working out. Good for calisthenics / other body weight work / free weights.

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.

Alison Luker I signed up for a trial at Base 13, a little reluctantly, after reading a lot about the importance of resistance training for women of my age. Im in my fifties and Ive never been a member of a gym before; I felt quite overwhelmed at first by the equipment and strange new language of deadlifts and bench presses. I neednt have worried, Base 13 is a remarkable place. Despite having lots of longtime members, the gym is very friendly and supportive and not at all cliquey. The small group sessions provide excellent support and supervision; and all the coaches Ive worked with are both knowledgeable and approachable. Im generally quite lazy about leaving reviews but this gym is very special.

Justyna Gamea Without a doubt, the best gym. Two floors, excellent equipment, and great facilities. Cleanliness is kept to a very high standard, which is rare in commercial gyms. But it’s the team that truly makes this gym stand out! Big shout-out to Josh, Sweety, and Sam for creating such a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere. Special shout-out to Sam — an exceptional PT, highly recommended.

Dominik N Amazing velodrome, good seating area with tons of room and easy toilet access.
