Virgin Active

This Virgin Active location is actually quite alright — it’s clean and modern. The staff is friendly and the best thing about it is, is how bright and airy it is everywhere. Just like the previews reviewer mentioned, the gym floor is above the ground (1^st floor, in fact), which is rather unusual, for many gyms are usually quite dim and need to be lit by artificial lights.
This gym is really very local — as there is no major tube station around, it is frequented only by people of the area and thus it is actually never really packed.
Downsides are: no pool and a charge for towels. (I have an all-​club membership and I feel that Virgin should update their policy so that people like me should get free towels everywhere I go!)

This gym is relatively new, and has nice facilities. Due to it being zone 2, and no pool, it is much, much cheaper than other Virgin actives… sorry, MORE AFFORDABLE than other.
HUGE studio, so if you like classes, this is a good place to go. Plus, it is entirely (except the locker rooms) ABOVE ground, so it is well ventilated, and they have plenty of sunlight. Always a plus. Zumba teachers AJ and Arvin are both really cool.
The ONE thing that is annoying about this gym is there are NO FREE TOWELS… if you want one, you have to pay £1 to the front desk. Lame.
