Anytime Fitness Balham

Wonderful gym. I use it almost exclusively for the spin classes which are great. Sessions from early mornings to mid-evenings seven days a week. Instructors approachable and knowledgable and classes usually have maximum of 19 attendees. The busy classes do get booked up but I've never had a problem getting in as long as I book a day in advance and they also operate a waitlist which is efficient and usually gets me in if I miss a booking. Highly recommend and it's a great location on the high street, handy for a post-work-out trip to Sainsburys.

An Honest, Constructive Review After 4 Years: I've been a member of this gym for about four years and have had the privilege of witnessing its journey since its early days. In its inception, the gym truly felt like an exclusive members-only hub, where each individual's fitness journey was celebrated. Lately, it's noticeable that the member capacity has increased, leading to the gym feeling a bit more crowded than before. As the space is not vast, this does result in occasional waits for equipment. Admittedly, I've found myself adjusting my workout timings to find quieter moments and to ensure I can get access to equipment without having to queue. Over the years, some of the machines are starting to show signs of wear, though the maintenance team is quick to address any faults, a commendable effort. However, I would suggest a re-evaluation of the gym's equipment distribution. The current trend leans more towards weightlifting, and the proportion of equipment might benefit from reflecting this shift. There are too many cardio machines and not enough geared towards weightlifting. Another point of improvement could be the air conditioning system. While it's functional, there have been inconsistencies in temperature across the gym, and occasional leaks. Lastly, for those of us who prefer evening workouts, it would be a treat to enjoy the daytime perks, like the complimentary fruit, which often runs out by the evening.

Excellent gym, really good equipment that is well maintained and kept clean throughout. Plenty of racks and two sets of dumbbells so never really waiting, with all the cardio you'd need. Separate shower and changing cubicles which is nice. As well as vanity mirror area with deodorants and other products if you need to rush off to work straight afterwards. Team is very helpful too if you need anything, the office is close by for a spot. Would and have recommended to friends!

I work 9-6 and this gym is basically unusable. Unless you go at 11am or 11pm there are queues for equipment, even benches. When people do get on the equipment they're on it for 45 minutes, others grab dumbbells and workout on any free square metre of the floor, which is at best annoying and at worst dangerous. I end up giving up and leaving after an hour having done two exercises - it's so frustrating. God knows what it's like in January. Shame because it's clean and the facilities are great.

One of the best gyms I have ever used, abundance of machines and equipment, often no wait times to use what you need - staff and users always friendly - great selection of classes and the shower/getting ready facilities ar enext to none - private, spotless and a pleasent experience after a tough workout! Not only the best AF gym I haveused, but the best gym!!
