Better Gym East Village, Stratford

The best gym I’ve been to. It’s very spacious and clean with lots of equipment and facilities, whether you prefer weight training, functional work or cardio. The staff and personal trainers are really friendly and helpful, always happy to explain how a machine works or exercise should be performed. They also hold a variety of classes throughout the week for all interests and abilities. Would definitely recommend.

The gym gets VERY over-crowded, there is lots of equipment in poor condition or broken, the flooring in the weight section is of poor quality. All in all, significant lack of maintenance throughout.You are unable to use lockers for free either. Changing rooms aren't in the greatest state either. The washrooms most of the days are dirty. Some PT can barely deal with their own life!

I go for the HIIT classes and have seen great results. It's a fun environment, the trainers is such a cool guy. The class is not for the faint hearted!

I wish the centre had more variety of classes, could be cleaner. It would be nice if the two Romanian cleaners (the very tall lady and short lady) both put cleaning in progress signs outside the doors when cleaning the mens toilets, half naked men in showers as there are open showers, also do not leave valuables in the changing rooms.

This is gym is the best I have been to! I recently moved to the area and checked out the options and Better Gym definitely came out on top. Very competitive prices! They really make an effort to promote community. I have been going for a couple of months now and I have already seen an update in the equipment which is rare. It is evident they care about their members. I also have a slight issue with access due to a fault of my own but every time I come it is never a drag for the staff to help out which I really appreciate. The customer service is great here! The equipment is very versatile and they have such a great range of bars for weightlifting. Multiple machines I have never seen before but so much more effective than the typical machines in the majority of commercial gyms. No matter how busy it gets I don't find myself twiddling my thumbs on how I can get my workout done. So much open space too considering the amount of equipment, huge props for how you decided to do the layout! The staff are friendly and work hard at keeping the gym organised. I am eagerly looking forward my next session. On the basis of getting stronger and fitter the this gym won't let you down. Thanks Better Gym!

One of my favourite gyms in London. The high ceilings give a sense of space and the gym is clean and well equipped. Also there is a nice variety of people who attend, with the majority of people not appearing to be Instagram obsessed, which is refreshing

Luciano's HIIT classes are the best I've ever attended, friendly and hardworking people, far more effective than CrossFit or Barry's. Got visible results in a week. Was fat and handsome, now I’m just handsome.

If this gym wasn’t disappointing enough, do not try to utilise the lockers because you will loose your 20p. This was not posted anywhere or communicated to members and I was told by a staff member that they’re aware of the issue and the “locker company” is collecting the money…paying almost £40 a month for gyms without working lockers. Stay away if you can.

It is an amazing gym and I absolutely love to train here, but I have to rated it with 2 stars because it is SO dirty: Toilets, showers and floors are absolutely disgusting. Same spots, stain and hairs in the same places for days and weeks! I have been a member of this gym since September and I can't believe how bad is the cleaning service in this place.
