Gym Clinic

"Love this place. Great space and great staff. Great for athletes, weekend warriors, and those just looking to get active. Something for everyone."

"Great gym, boxing ring is a good touch, would recommend. Bobby is a fantastic PT and boxing coach."

"I've been a member of the Gym Clinic for around a year and a half and in that time the gym has gone from strength to strength. It is a professionally operated, private gym that caters for both novices and advance trainees. The gym itself has a number of cardio machines including treadmills, spinning bikes, cross trainers, rowing machine and step machine - along with this it has a full range of resistance machines to work every major muscle group. The machines themselves are placed in an organised location and are very accessible to new trainees who may find some free weight exercises quite daunting. The gym also has a boxing ring where classes/ 1-2-1 sessions are held for a variety of trainee levels and ages - a great edition to any gym and gives the members something you won’t find in most privately run places. The free weights area boast 3 benches, an adjustable bench press going from 180 to 90 degrees, dual cable machines with a variety of attachments, a squat rack with optional safety mechanisms and a 3D 'Jones Machine' which offers the safety of a 'Smith Machine' but with lateral movement as well as vertical. Along with these machines there are free weights ranging from 1kg up to 50kg, weight plates from 1.25kg to 25kg and assorted barbells. Lastly there is a small area outside that has a number of punching bags as well as some tyres and sledge hammers so that trainees can try some more unique approaches to cardio/strength training. The kit itself is in fantastic condition, with the cardio and resistance machines being brand new and top of the range - while also being divided into approachable locations so that new members and trainees should not feel any intimidation with using any of the equipment; especially since they all have instructions on how best to use the machines. The members are incredibly friendly, and the gym has a family vibe to it - where people of all levels mix and help create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and pleasant to exercise in. This aspect is certainly something that gives the gym clinic an edge to commercial gyms where most members are anonymous to each other; never really exchanging pleasantries or training experiences - certainly not the case here. Though despite the professional kit the gym carries, it is certainly not a 'male' gym - the membership is split quite evenly between men and women which again helps create an inviting atmosphere. The gym comes with locker facilities as well as 3 small showers that are cleaned regularly. My only criticism would be some of the lockers are faulty and so it can be difficult to find a spare locker from time to time; but this is hardly much of an issue. Overall the gym is a fantastic place to exercise - offering professional trainers, modern kit, a friendly atmosphere and at a modest fee without tying you into a long contract."

"A good local gym. Lots of equipment, free weights and cardio machines. Never have to wait to use anything. The staff and personal trainers are friendly and approachable. There are showers and towels are provided. Having no contract is good as it gives peace of mind. 4 out of 5 as I don't ever give top marks - there's always room for improvement."

"This is not a fitness first/pure/kiss style gym first and foremost. There aren't 60 treadmills in a row and you don't have to press the panic button to find a trainer. The weights section is well equipped. Lots of dumbbells, lots of bars and benches, just what you need. The cardio section is all brand new. The spin bikes in particular are very cool and if you prefer a cable work out to free weights you can do that here. There are treadmills too. In the middle of the gym there's a boxing ring. I've not done any boxing yet but the guys that do push hard and are well looked after by the trainers. The gym is never too busy. Everyone knows everyone else by name and take the time to say hello to new people. I've only been a member two months and never have to look far for a spotter or a bit of advice. It's friendly. If you need 5 different machines to work your upper inside forearm then there are other bigger commercial gyms in, or around Chiswick. If you want somewhere with decent equipment, friendly members and staff for £45 a month then you won't be disappointed by Gym Clinic. NOTE: The changing/showering facilities are small. The only reason this isn't a 5* review."
