Muscleworks Gym

Very good old school bodybuilding gym in East London. Everything you'd expect from that with pictures of pro bodybuilders around and a lot of different machines and freeweights.

There's also a boxing gym upstairs which is really cool.

Staff here are very friendly and helpful. There's a charge for the lockers (20p) but if you don't have that, the staff have on many occasions given me the money to use the lockers.

They have clean changing rooms and shower space.. this however is communal and may not be to everyone's taste but I'm generally fine with that so not a problem personally.

They sell clothing and supplements at the counter and protein rich meals for after workout refuelling.

It's a mixed gym as well ladies and you see a lot of females using the gym. They seem to be comfortable and haven't noticed any guys being inappropriate.

For guys who may feel like these type of gyms are intimidating, there's all sorts of fitness levels at this gym but obviously there's going to be a lot of really fit big guys who have been working on thier guns a lot longer. I think this is inspiring which is why I joined to push myself further. (I still hold my commercial gym membership)

There's also a lot of personal trainers about as well if you need guidance and help with your sessions. I am currently using a personal trainer Timothy Timi, and he's very good and knowledgeable.

Visited from Canada and needed a place to workout where I could pay daily and have access to a full blown gym at whatever time I could get away.

Found Muscle Works on Google and I have to say that it’s one the best gyms I’ve been to anywhere, ever.

Doesn’t matter if you’re someone whose been training for decades or days, you’re treated with the best service, from the best people, from the minute you step in the door, at any hour of the day or night. It’s open 24/7/365

The owner went out of his way to accommodate everything I needed, as did everyone that works there. I needed some tshirts and hoodies and no matter how many I wanted to try on (buy or not buy at the end), they kept helping with a smile.

What you need to know that in addition to having every thing you can imagine in a gym, from weights to machines, they have so many that regardless of being crowded, you never have to wait to use anything.

They also have pre workouts by the scoop, as well as post workouts and meals. All under one roof.

I can’t recommend this enough. If you stop by, they’ll remember you the next time you come and make you feel like you’re a part of their gym.

Thanks for your hospitality.

Absolutely incredible old school bodybuilding gym!
Really enjoyed my legs session and to be able to use some proper bodybuilding machines.
Was greeted by the lovely Carol who showed me around the gym and the female changing room - absolutely amazing staff who know what they're talking about whilst being approachable!
Managed to get a t shirt at the end haha - again helped by Carol who helped me choose a size and colour.
I definitely will be training there again!

This gym is old-school greatness!
It has all the equipment you'll ever need and more, and is constantly renewing and keeps getting better.
The staff and community are so warm and welcoming: no pretension - only transparency, and let's get to work!
Extraordinary value for money: the membership is kept at a very affordable price, and you can feel that Sav always has the best interest of his members in mind.
The gym has so much soul in it - they got something very special going on, the energy in the place is great.
One of my best memories from London - this gym is incomparable!

Had your heart broken recently? Then this is the perfect place to come and go full beast mode. Proper old school, metal plates kind of gym, equipment selection puts most other gyms to shame. 💪

Not quite 5 stars as a fair few bits of kit were broken on my visit and maybe a revamp on the shower area needed, felt like being back in the school locker room , just an open room with 4 showers, not for those who are shy. Once sorted this is easily a 5 star gym. This place might be slightly intimidating for the gym novice.

BEST GYM IN UK.
This may be only be applicable to some but I find this gym is such a good enviroment for bodybuilders.
Machines are great

Visiting from the US and wanted a bodybuilding gym, this was a great find! Day pass is only $6.50 USD. There’s plenty of equipment (main level chest and back/arms, upper half is a leg room, other half is a boxing room and cardio equipment).
The staff were all very helpful, welcoming and friendly!
Locker rooms/restrooms upstairs are small, but there’s a womens and mens single stall downstairs too.
It was a good environment, hard workers all around.

Best gym ever , I’ve been training here for more than 2 years and it’s the best place with the best environment. Also I can train my clients there 😊
