  The staff are very friendly and the gym floor and changing rooms are really clean, which is great. The gym itself is pretty basic unfortunately - no plate loaded machines (except a leg press), which other VA clubs have. The actual floor of the weights area is uneven, so most benches need to be put on 1.25kg plates to make them stable. The weights area is also really small and should be relocated to one of the larger areas of the gym.

  It was a good gym, clean and equipped well beyond my needs. Lately I just avoid it and can't wait to be out of contract. It is so crowded every time I go there that sometimes I just walk back out straight away- can't justify spending 3 hrs on a workout because there's a waiting line for every piece of gear. Patrons are stragely territorial and I long gave up on asking to switch in - all it got me is passive aggressive barks.I know club can't control this though.It's not helping when an aspiring strongman takes EVERY SINGLE PLATE to load up the sled and because he either works there or is friends with the staff nobody says a thing. "I''ll pass it on " means nothing will be done. At this point the only difference from a budget gym is the price of membership.

  Disappointing gym. Sauna is warm at best. Limited gym equipment eg no hip thrust machine. Shower pressure is very weak. However, there is a nice co working space.

  Eugenio Barbosa, the experience consultant and Hakan at Virgin Active Cannon Street were very helpful today. Eugénio made sure to show me around the entire gym after advising me on the best membership for my needs. I got two months free and paid half the registration fee, which was great! This gym is super clean and has an unbelieveble spa with new features such as a salt bath room, ice therapy and mineral water showers! The atmosphere is super friendly and there's a cosy lounge area where you can work and use as a co-working space. I recommend going directly to Eugénio to start with queries to support your decision of signing for this gym.
