The Life Centre Notting Hill - (Near Lambeth, UK)

Snss106 S I initially visited the gym last weekend and met Alex who explained the set up and offered to show me how to use certain machines at my next visit. I returned today and as expected, he very kindly showed me how to use all of the machines and even took the time to give me a list of which exercises to do. I am not new to fitness but have generally found gyms to be a bit intimidating and centre my workouts around outdoor activities. A big shout out to lovely Alex who took the time to help me out today - its people like you who encourage more women to strength train!

BritishEnglish The friendliest service! I went in the shop to try on a few things before ordering them online with a discount code, but the staff were so wonderful I would have felt guilty doing an online purchase instead. My discount code wasnt working properly but I still had the discount applied, and learned about other discount opportunities now that I have a Sweaty Betty account. Havent had such a great shopping experience in a while.

Fatima Jeilow Best studios in London. Love the variety between different instructors and levels. I usually prefer burn classes because it’s more advanced but I tried base and it’s also good.

Juney Wilmot What a great gym! I dont think I have ever been a member of a gym with such a lovely feel of community, friendly members and great staff, as soon as you approach them they smile. The gym is clean and I love the added touch of the supplement corner and the Infra Red sauna pod, that is my next try! Im definitely here to stay! I highly recommend this gym!

Denise Grant I saw what a friend had achieved at UP, so when I retired at the age of 57 I joined the Kensington UP branch with a goal of transforming body, my health and general wellbeing. I was aware it was an expensive option but having seen the results in real life I was willing to make the investment in terms of money, time and energy because I knew it would pay off. I was quite self conscious initially but I quickly got over that and followed all the guidance consistently. I quit alcohol and smoking. I ate 1350 calories daily from a healthy high protein diet, walked 15000 steps a day, drank 3 litres of water a day, slept 8 hours a night, and attended the gym 3 times a week. It was hard work and a daily challenge, but in just 6 months I dropped from 40% body fat to 19%. I lost 20Kg. I was strong and toned and I also looked 10 years younger. If a client consistently follows their trainer’s instructions (no cheating!) then results are basically guaranteed. And it happens quite quickly. Now over 3 years later having been inspired by the trainers at UP, I have built a healthy lifestyle around weight training, exercise and good nutrition. I feel like I am a new woman. I recently had my 60th birthday and a woman stopped me in the street today on my way to the gym and she said “can I just say you have a fantastic body”. For the first time in my life I am body confident. And most importantly I have never been happier. For anybody who wants to make the investment and is committed to the process, I highly recommend.

Renee Wood-Gush I absolutely love 1Rebel Chelsea! The new studio is gorgeous – modern, spacious, and such a motivating environment to work out in. The staff are amazing – so friendly, welcoming, and always on hand to help. Every class feels so energising and the team really make you feel part of the community. Couldn’t recommend it more if you’re looking for a fun, high-energy workout in a stunning new space!
