JAGS Gym ... to join or not to join?


Recommended Posts

Hi,


I'm currently with Fitness First so I can access a gym near my workplace and again in Brixton. I'm finding, due to the distance, that I readily make excuses not to go on the weekend.


So I'm thinking of joining a more local gym and in terms of what is available I'm quite impressed by JAGs (according to online spec). Then I came across an EDF thread, dating back to 2009, that was really quite down on the place.


I'm hoping to get some opinions from people who currently use JAGS as to whether they'd recommend it or not.

Are the ladies changing rooms well maintained and kept clean? (one reason for no longer wanting to go to Brixton FF)

Are the studio classes of a high quality?

Is the equipment reliable?

Is parking generally available or a bit of a pain?

How does it work being connected to a school?


Thanks in advance.

I am a member and love it - pool is nearly always empty so good swimming (though during term time you can't use it during the day on weekdays), well equipped gym,good selection of classes (though having been a member of another incredible gym, the classes aren't that varied and are only in the evenings on weekdays, but that suits me).

I think for the monthly price it's definitely worth it - the only bad thing I think is the joining fee (but they do special offers sometimes that levy this) and also the general community feel - as in there isn't really one. I think they could

work on that by having member events or something but that's just my 2 pence!

To answer your other questions - parking always fine plus they have bike racks for cyclists, ladies changing rooms always nice, being connected to a school just means you can't use the facilities at certain times but you can always use them from 5pm ish every day and all weekend.

I'd echo a lot of that but for us parking is not always fine - my only big bugbear! You are offered use of the car park as a member benefit but the control gate is often not used at busy times and you end up dashing to classes having had to find a space in North Dulwich. This is only really an issue at weekends though.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
