The Gym Group London Walthamstow

Nice place to workout. I like taking their classes. This is an economical gym. They have very nice trainers as well. They have different classes running every day on different time slots. I love this place.

Been here for two weeks now, coming over from the United States, and this is consistently how this gym looks. The members here have little to no gym etiquette, and staff do a poor job or enforcing proper lifting code. Free weights are usually misplaced and out of order. Not a great experience.

I've been a regular member of the Gym since September 2020.

Positives
+ Friendly & helpful staff members
+ Spacious with an air con
+ Many shower cubicles
+ Plenty of lockers
+ Generally functional and well maintained lifting equipment
+ Non-problematic gym members
+ Great location

Negatives
- Toilets & showers not maintained frequently enough during peak hours. Sometimes I had to cut my workouts short due to inability to use the facilities
- Large lockers padlocked by the same padlocks for months. The problem gets resolved every 3-4 months when the gym is closed for a couple of days
- some gym members (unnecessarily) slam machine weights for attention (I have tinnitus and pretty much I am forced to wear earphones to protect my hearing)
- The treadmills either work or half of them don't, no in-between. Some of them make funny sound when jogging

Despite the negatives my overall experience with the Gym is good. My hope is that they can resolve changing rooms problems as these can make or break a good gym session.

Excellent gym. It's popular and has typically 3-4 of each of resistance machines and about 40 running and step machines.

Also, the day and 3 day passes are very well priced and easy to use.

Highly recommend. Great location, Great gym! Very spacious! Plenty of benches, squat racks and spacious weight section and also loads of cable machines. Weight etiquette isn’t great but to be expected at a large gym. VERY GOOD value for money. The gym group App is very good and tells you the capacity of the gym. Not sure there are poor reviews of this gym. Has everything you need and more. Was paying £57 for a smaller gym with less weight options at Feel good centre.

I'm looking to join a gym, arrived with no reception, no staff to greet you or even explain what the gym has to offer, the whole floor (what was visible through the awkward glass doors) was crowded by many people who looked like they were waiting for some of the weights and machines to free up, but I couldn't see any if the rest of the gym to be fair, entry is just prison style pincode with rotary doors only big enough for one individual, a couple sign up screens at the entrance before you can even talk to any staff, also, you CAN'T pay via MasterCard and make sure you bring your (Non MasterCard) card with you unless you have all your details like card number, sort code all memorised as there's no chance to pay with your phone or smartwatch or even cash. Or just sign up before you arrive.

£27 a month for a basic plan as well as a first time sign up fee of £10 is a little expensive. I would say a gym like this is worth no more than £20 a month with a basic plan and a sign up fee.

Sign up method if you're at the gym is not appealing at all, crowd control style doors, no staff to help, just some screens asking for payment before you're granted entry into the gym where the staff is.

Great gym, nice equipment. Lovely ambiance and ample space to workout. Strategically located in the heart of walthamstow by the side of the shopping mall. There's wheelchair accessibility. And Victoria line train. Bit driving to this gym is tricky, there is no free parking anywhere nearby.
The only meaningful parking nearby is the paid underground parking in the walthamstow mall. Which is about 5mins walk to the gym.

This review purely because of the instalation, half of the lockers doesn't work, dirty stinky bathrooms, walls need painting. This is one of the busiest gym I ever been, some how looks like there is not enough budget to pay cleaners, fix etc.
