For the life of me I can't find a gym!

[dulwichdreadlocks]

I've checked out ESPH and I like it but I think the prices are too steep for a place that doesn't even have a pool, sauna or steam room. I've seen nothing else that hits the spot locally. Why no decent local gym?

Former McDonalds in Forest Hill is being turned into a gym as an fyi. Just over the hill...

[mightyroar]

there's always dulwich leisure centre, pool about to be refurbed. gym ok

There is a recent thread about JAGS which has a pool and gym. If you do a search you will find it.

Wavely road academy school has a Gym, as will the new boys school opening soon ! that one should be really good with lots of free weights. there is also one up by Dulwich College by the little pond on the south circular. sauna and pool you will be v lucky, the only one is la fitness nr sydenham, bit of a drive but very friendly and compact

[Sqiggles]

what about Brockwell Lido - I think they have a sauna and spa there.

[Bubblez]

Yeah brockwell lidos nice, nice gym, sauna, steam room, hydrotheropy pool and the lido in the summer

Ruffers, any idea when the McD gym is opening. I am currently schlepping to Virgin Active in Streatham, which aint easy.

DD there is also a gym on St Davids Road in FHill just across the south circular from the BR station.

I found a great gym and it's completely free! It's called Peckham Rye Park! ;-)

Not really although apparently work has started on it, there's a thread in the se23 forum.

Fusion is good cos you get to use all the other ones if you want and the Peckham one has a sauna and steam room. Plus some of the classes are really good - if anyone on here can do Theo's bodyblaster on Fri eve's in Dulwich Fusion all the way through, then you've got my respect. He teaches in Peckham too I think and his sisters Jennifer and Cammilla do some seriously hard classes including spin.

[AllforNun]

Wow cool, where are all the weight benches located in Peckham Rye Park and is there any bathing regs for the pool/pond is there mixed days or is it always same sex ?

Dulwich Hamlets gym. Cheap and does the job. No pool, though.

Dulwich College gym membership includes their pool, but it's only open to the public outside school hours. A lot cheaper than Jags, probably because of location.

Not in herne hill which is the exception, you still have to pay the full wack, even if you have fusion membership in goose green or the Peckham pulse.

Tight arsed gits.

I didn't even know they had one in Herne Hill!

Fusion do another membership for about ?45 a month which gives you acces to over a hundred centres and 80 swimming pools.

Here is the link - not sure if it includes Herne Hill but you might be able to check on the link.
