Gyms in ED

[NA]

Hi all,

Looking for opinions on JAGS and Fusion. Would likely be primarily for the gym, but would also use the pool and attend some classes. I will probably take up a free day trial with both to help me decide (I think they both offer this) but any opinions/advice would be greatly received.

Apologies if there are already lots of gym threads!

Cheers.

Test out fusion ed, pretty good for the price and all new kit. No big commercial gyms around here. Possibly try one AT&T brockwell lido?

JAGS is only open schoolday evenings and weekends so possibly bo=not for everyone.

ESPH is good.

I use Fusion all the time. They have a good range of classes offered at a competitive price. The main bugbear is that there are always ongoing issues with, for example, the temperature in the studios (freezing on Sat and this morning/conversely too hot) and the showers. Also there have been problems with the use of the swimming lanes, lockers broken into and teachers not turning up to classes. These are all management problems but never seem to be adequately addressed to customer satisfaction.

I'm a member of JAGS and I think it's a good family gym for the money if you are happy with good cardio machines (recently upgraded), and basic machine weights and free weights. If you are big into free weights it's no good for that but I don't think anywhere in Dulwich is. The pool is nice and clean and, whenever I've been, not too busy with room for all standards. I haven't been to any classes.

JAGS is also open in the mornings for a couple of hours. One of the things I like about JAGS is it opens early and closes late.

JAGS is open during the day in school holidays (and usually empty)

I tried ringing you a few times the other night to arrange a trial but there was no answer. When would be the best time to ring?

Hi JAGS, have you considered doing a swim only membership? I would be very interested in it as I don't want to use the other facilities

[JAGS]

Hi bloonoo,

Our club is inclusive of all our facilities which is what makes us exclusive.

It gives you the option to try something different as we have a wide range of facilities.

Why dont you try a free trial and see what you think?

Kind Regards,

[Huggers]

All the classes are free with jags membership.

Thanks for the reply JAGS, unfortunately I can't really afford the monthly fee and usually swim only memberships are cheaper than inclusive memberships. Your facilities do look great though, I have climbed and swam there before as one offs.

But thanks :)

I've been a member of JAGS, Dulwich College and Fusion

My favourite, and the quietest pool was Dulwich College (up to about 3 years ago)

Best classes were at JAGs (but this was about 10 years ago

Best gym is Fusion ...but the pool is too busy for me
