As most other reviewers have pointed out, you can expect this gym to start out at a base level of "overcrowded" and work up from there. I would typically head there first thing in the morning as it is barely worth it to go there in the evening time. It really is a tiny facility for what is supposed to be one of the top universities in the world.
To add to this, the showers are regularly out of order (gym staff never notify members in advance if this happens, causing people to turn up and have no option of a shower facility). The customer service is shoddy at best, any complaints would typically fall on deaf ears. The weights area is pretty pathetic, with a bare minimum of free weights while a dis-proportionally large area is given to bar weights/benches etc. Space for stretching and core work is minimal also.
The only relatively positive aspect of the gym comes from the classes which are quite good and varied but, even then, their booking system is a shambles with many classes being overbooked and nothing being done about it.
All in all, I'll be making sure to join the new branch of "The Gym" in this area as soon as it opens
EDIT: updated review to say that I have now left this gym. The staff's indifference to any of the above issues is pretty insulting. The Gym Bloomsbury is a far better option in every sense

Big gym in a good area in Bloomsbury. The student prices are quite good and they get lower the longer you buy your membership for. It is quite spacious with multiple squat/bench press racks and a few deadlift platforms also. Pretty much every other machine you could need is also present but it does get very busy during peak times so unless you want to work in with someone, you're going to have to wait until the machines you want are free.

Booked to play squash here, arrived and was told that my booking had been cancelled because of a fault with their system and that I should have been called (I wasn't) and that there are now no courts available.
Basic incompetence.

It's a low cost gym, so as you would imagine it's often overcrowded. To add to that even tho it was renovated not so long ago, the machinery often is out of order. And as for the free weights, there are only two sets of the most popular weights (10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5). A massive pro is that the instructors are always there to help you out and they do a pretty good job in my opinion. There are plenty of lockers and the enough shower cabins. It's really a 3.5 star

Wide range of equipment and best gym I've been to. Great for students and inspiring place to be, always come out feeling refreshed.
