There are so many gyms to choose from in South London. Choosing a gym is like finding a partner. It’s not down to what they offer but mainly to what you are looking for.

Are you a swimmer? Do you love classes? Is the free weights area your second home?

Once you’ve figured out what your fitness goal and budget are, you’re ready to go gym hunting.

Here is a list of the best gyms in London SE1 for every taste and budget. Every gym has been scored from 1 to 5 stars based on: 

-      Facilities (studios, pool, sauna, steam room)

-      Equipment (resistance machines, free weights)

-      Crowdedness (congestion of the gym floor in peak time)

-      Membership cost

-      Variety and number of classes

-      Cleanliness

These are possibly the best facilities in South London. You can spend hours in this gym without getting bored. Top-of-the-line gym equipment, countless classes, pool, sauna, steam room and a fitness café that offers healthy meals, too, to finish off your visit.

Best gym in London SE1 for class lovers and off-peak time lifters.

All that glitters is not gold though. Considering the high price tag, you will find yourself struggling to find any machines available in peak time, never mind following a full training program. It can also be difficult to sign up to classes in peak time. 

If you cannot be flexible with your training time, be ready to see the free weights area crowded, too.
