Can I just say that the review before mine about Cannons is absolute nonsense. Ive been a member there for years, and for £65-£73 a month membership this is a bargain for a decent gym in a decent area.. The airconditioning was broken for 2 weeks and now it has been fixed and is very pleasant, for claustrophobic people I'm sorry but places like Virgin Active and LA Fitness are much much worse, Cannons has a triple height ceiling, yes it is in the basement but if the ceiling is almost 10 meters above you I dont think that is claustrophobic! What other gym doesnt get busy after work? Im there almost every day and the only busy times after work are on a Monday, I never queue for machines. The Hydro Pool is amazing, your should see peoples faces when they sit in it for the first time! It massages all those sore muscles, its better than a Jacuzzi. The gym is clean (not perfectly clean) but cleaner than other places i've seen! I love the trainers there, some of them will help you out and train you, give you advice if you ask them to without having to pay a penny! The only bad point is for those muscle builders out there, the weights area is quite small. The cardio area however is great.

Anyway, i just had to say all this and stick up for my gym because right now Im working in Mayfair and live in Kensington so Cannons Covent Garden isn't easily accessable for me, I must say that I cannot find a gym with amazing facilities like this one and thats why I trek to Covent Garden every day.



Hope this changes your thoughts,

Pros
1. Quite a good variety of exercise classes, including the usual step and aerobics, spin, body conditioning, body pump, yoga, pilates and abs.

2. Great central location, near Covent garden tube station.

3. Nice little extras in the changing rooms such as body cream, hair gel, shampoo and conditioner (although not great quality). Washing machine and drier also available for use - can be handy if you don't have one at home!

4. Steam room, sauna, whirl pool and quiet swimming pool.

5. Friendly staff and instructors

Cons.....
1. Far too expensive
2. Inferior air conditioning
3. Feels small and claustrophic as it's in the basement - so no windows
4. Not enough classes at the weekends
5. Can get very busy on the machines during lunchtimes and after work
