Hello


I'm thinking of ditching my ridiculously overpriced gym in the city and signing up to either Peckham pulse or ED leisure centre. Pulse is marginally closer to me but not by much. Is there anyone who has been to both? Which one is less busy? Would like to use it for both gym and swim.


Also, does anyone use a personal trainer at either gym? Would be interested to hear about your experiences!


Multigym membership is ?20 more so would just like to pick one...


thank you in advance!

Really like dulwich leisure centre - changing rooms clean and plenty of machines so not too much queuing (tho January bound to be rammed!)


Intersperse gym sessions with Hi-vibe sessions (Melbourne grove) which are just fab! Highly recommend for some seriously personalised workouts along with addressing any physio problems

I would recommend ED leisure centre I've been to Peckham Pulse too but only used the pool-I found it clean and well staffed.

Having never used the gym at PP I can't comment on that.

I have multi gym membership because I work in W1 and EA have the franchise for gyms in Westminster so its well worth the extra money.

I do use a Personal trainer at ED Tracy who works for Everyone Active and is not an independent she's brilliant (I have never used a PT before and because I found the classes she took at the leisure centre so good I took the plunge and do 30 min sessions with her-they give you the option of 30 or 60 mins PT sessions)

Your membership can cover both if you want (I think they are both run by same chain). Worth checking the Camberwell one, run by Everyone Active too, as its also a good site.


Worth keeping an eye on membership deals for a while - they vary considerably but I'd be looking to pay ?250-300 for a years full membership based on their current offers - anymore than this and you're being seen off.

I note what you say about the swim, but if you can do without it or go separately, perhaps on one of those free of charge days on Friday / weekend (I think), then I can't fault The Gym at Peckham. It's an absolute bargain price, spacious, with some good classes and staff (all personal trainers too), and it's never absurdly busy.


I've been a member of many gyms, including some in the City. I was a member of Peckham Pulse for a few years and it wasn't great. It was dirty, the weights area was sparse, and there was a bad vibe about it. I went in the changing room once and almost every locker door had been kicked / ripped off. That must have taken some doing. This was a few years ago so maybe it's improved.


I hear the ED centre is good (my colleague goes). The pool at Camberwell was dirty last time I went, visibly so.


As a poster above says, Peckham, ED and the other Southwark gaffs are part of the same chain.

Both gyms are run by Everyoneactive and therefore its the same membership fees.


It's also worth knowing, if you didn't already, that you can sign up to use any of the everyone active gyms in southwark on Friday's, Saturday and Sundays for free, under the 'Southwark Free Gym and Swim' scheme. https://www.everyoneactive.com/southwark-free-swim-gym/


If you go to the gym beyond these days, then you should get a membership!

Wow that doesn't sound good about the Camberwell pool as you mention Paul. Was about to recommend as always been great when I've been swimming there. The changing rooms can be a little hit and miss but otherwise a good venue IMO.

Camberwell is best for the Gym. Nice big gym, lots of space and equipment, high ceiling and skylight running the length of it. Never hugely busy either. Pretty sure the membership allows you to use any council run (by Everyone Active) Leisure center in the borough.

I would highly recommend obi at clean Body Health, he's much cheaper then the personal trainers at peckham pulse and Dulwich, plus you get the gym included with the price and he's happy enough for you to take kids along if your stuck!! He really is amazing and I couldn't reccomended him enough! If you need his details just p.m me. He's based at Dulwich Hamlet by sainsburys!

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By malumbu · Posted

      Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.

      Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
