Here’s a great listing of pay as you go gyms > http://www.gymsinlondon.com/index.php/membership-fees

since i don’t go very often , prefer not having to commit myself to paying a full fee every month!

Hope it helps

If enrolment is closed, it sounds like they’re full already! Give them a call to check. It’s effectively an adult education course and you sign up for 1 evening a week. If you want to do more, you have to sign up for more evenings.

Hey, great info on gyms in london!

I am interested in going to bethnal green gym but am a bit confused about the enrollment procedures. The site you provided says that enrollment is closed until April. Would you happen to have someone I could contact to see if I could enroll this late?

Also, if you want to do multiple days, how does that work? Do you have to come to an agreement with them and pay extra?

Thanks for the website and the info. I’ve been looking around for ages for an olympic lifting gym so to have someone tell others where it is and how to enroll has been a godsend. Good luck on your lifting endeavors!

There’s a great weightlifting / bodybuilding gym very near the one mentioned. It’s in Hague Street, off of Bethnal Green Road, called Muscleworks. I’ve been weight training there for a few months. There are a few crossfit exponents there and you can pay £5 per visit or the membership is reasonable. There are a high percentage of pro / serious bodybuilders there but they seem very relaxed about letting people cross train and there is more than enough equipment and space.
Search for muscleworks on google, they have a small website.
There’s a great coach who often trains his clients there, his name is Nick Mitchell (www.upfitness.co.uk). I’ve seen him cross train some clients and have been extremely impressed indeed. He is very knoledgeable, a great motivator, and will make you cry for your Mum if you want to be pushed that hard!!! I say this as a former military airborne PTI who has done both Paras ‘P’ Coy and the RM Commando Course.

Enjoy.

This sounds like what I’ve been looking for since I moved to London, do you have any contact details for enrolling at Bethnal Green? Your help is much appreciated.
