Holborn (Main Branch)Gymbox reviews
Pretentious and awful gym. I joined on an offer in The London Paper. The sales staff were pushy and superficial. I signed for a monthly pay-as-you-go fee and was not happy with the attitude or knowledge of the staff. There were always 3 or 4 of each type of machine which were out of order, despite the fact that I never see many people using the gym. I read the terms and conditions of my contract and cancelled within the correct time limit (annoyingly, you need to give a month's notice otherwise you have to pay another month's fee even if it's 27 rather than 28 days). Even giving my notice orally and in writing with the unfriendly reception staff and cancelling my direct debit well in advance, another month's payment was still taken from my account. The manager was unbelievably rude when I called up about it and it took some talking just to be refunded for the extra month's fee they unlawfully took from me.
All in all, it's just one big gimmick so that people can feel like they're getting a new experience, but the classes are pretty contrived and either overcrowded or the instructor won't teach if there are 5 or less people. Definitely go elsewhere - this place has short-term appeal only!
Absolutely awesome and the staff are really helpful and HOT! Best gym I have ever been to. I love it!
by Mrs Smith, 29 Oct 2007Classes are fun but because they are all pitched at a 'suitable for all' level, the intensity is quite low. Studios are pretty small and the spin room is ridiculously compact! That said, great selection of classes - plenty to choose from. Staff are pretty fab.
by bambina, 31 Jul 2007I've never seen a gym like this before! It's absolutely amazing! Great atmosphere, great classes, great machines. It's the gym I have always looked for.
