<![CDATA[Greater London - Camden - Holborn - Health and Beauty - Health Clubs - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Dodgy dealers! http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/holborn/health-clubs/gymbox-wc1v6lf.html#r53203 THIS IS NOT ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT TRYING TO CANCEL! I realised two days after signing up it would be useless to cancel. Once I joined I noticed they had taken £30 EXTRA from my credit card. After a week of phonecalls someone finally got back to me saying they'd give it back. I also had a friend join and was told I get the next month free. They still took £58 from my account. I called and they gave an excuse about in 2 months time it will be free. Its now 2 months later and they've AGAIN taken the money out of my account. I only go to a couple of classes a week and the FT who ran them has left. I remember hearing her scream at the Owner/Manager to pay her wages by the end of the week.

THIS GYM ISN'T WORTH THE HASSLE...

It looks amazing inside too! There are plenty of machines and I have never had a moment where I can't get on something because someone else is already using it. I am yet to try out any of the classes but they all look amazing and plenty of them! I have heard alot about the trouble canceling memebership but I haven't had to experience that yet, I will look forward too it. The VPT's are also friendly and the front desk are always chirpy when you walk in (Probably because we pay for them to be there!) But yeah.. it's good!

They make it very difficult to cancel - asking you to come in person despite the contract stating written notice - and continued to take my money claiming not to have received the second of my written notices.

Even when this all came to light, they continued to claim that further membership fees were due and ignored all of my letters, instead sending standard debt letters.

I would not recommend these guys to anyone.

The staff are helpful if you ask them but i think are quite happy to walk past people who are clearly doing things wrong without telling them.

I love the boxing ring which i think is a bit odd, who uses it? You certainly will get fit here as the members look serious and toned and inspire you when you're in a cant be bothered mood.

I paid the additional month even though I didn't use the gym for about 6 weeks (62 GBP per month) - BUT THEY KEPT CHARGING. Even after I cancelled the Direct Debit - THEY KEPT CHARGING MANUALLY USING MY CARD DETAILS. I cancelled my card to avoid future charges.

Due to my work I move around London and would have joined again - BUT NOT NOW. I’ve never been to a gym before where there is a notice period for cancelling membership. It’s just a cash grab.

Really friendly and helpful staff coupled with more than enough space and equipment make this one of the best gyms in central London.

Highly recommended.

I haven't been able to say that about many gyms I've been to, but with Gymbox it actually annoys me if I can't go at lunch! The classes are great fun, and are on at good times too. The instructors are really friendly, helpful and know their stuff! I don't feel intimidated there, and can always get on the machines at lunch time.

Some people don't like the look and feel of it, it's quite industrial looking, but I think i t's really funky and enjoy the environment to workout in. Would thoroughly recommend, even though it's quite expensive, I've never been to the gym so much and so feel I get my money's worth!

The boxing ring is great, not that its of any use to me, i think it should be located in a seperate room.
