Better - Vauxhall Leisure Centre Reviews 

Friendly staff great service thank you

Hello, as a Senior Citizen my visits to Vauxhall is usually for AquaRobic plus Steam and Sauna, Swimming when I can access the App to get a slot for lesson with Maria - it’s running the gauntlet to get a space as they are snatched up in a moment. During the winter months my body and the water temperature does not align, because of various ailments my visits has been limited. I’m glad that Swimming and access to the Steam and Sauna are really well coordinated. Maria makes the lessons very interesting and the class is very enthusiastic we can never get used to the fact that 45 minutes can go so quickly. If at all possible it would be great to have an afternoon session. Thank you Maria I love every minute that you’re pushing us for the betterment of ourselves.🥰 keep up the good work.
The staffs are pleasant and very helpful- I have ventured to other gyms however Vauxhall is so close and convenient to my home and I am thankful for that. I’ve just noticed the price has gone up hopefully I pray that the temperature in the changing room will also increase. Enough said see you all when I can find my way there again once the weather gets better.

I have been a member of the Vauxhall better for nearly 3 years now. I've been going to Maria's aqua aerobics class for most of this time. She is a excellent teacher and I enjoy going to her classes every week. I missed the classes when I've been unable to go due an operation. I've been back a couple of weeks and she makes you feel most welcome .

I enjoy my Sumba class our teacher Volkan is so energetic and enthusiastic. The class is only for 50 minutes but it's non stop and you truly get a good workout. I look forward to my classes, it's so much fun.

Great gym. The place is clean, well-maintained, a great atmosphere, and with a good variety of classes. A huge shoutout to Volkan for Zumba classes. He is very approachable and keep you motivated, great workout and a lot of fun. I really enjoy his classes.

This is a really great gym and facilities for the price, it’s worth paying the difference from PureGym down the road. Instructors Carlos, Dalia and Sharon are fantastic, they’re all very knowledgeable and motivating in different ways. They’ve helped me lose almost 30 pounds in 8 weeks! Receptionists are always really friendly too and whenever I’ve used the pool it’s been good but sauna/steam seems to be shut a lot. Ladies changing always absolutely stink of the worst smell ever so I have to hold my breath. The building could do with wifi as service is terrible and you have to stand outside for ages to get membership id up, also would be good for using to watch something while on the treadmills. Overall I enjoy this gym and the facilities.

I’m coming to Vauxhall leisure centre for some time now and I do the fitness classes and also use the pool. My favourite classes are with Carlos, his power pump and HIIT classes are great fun, great workout, good energy, great music and good vibes!! The best! I also want to mention the manager Luke who’s done great improvements since he came to Vauxhall from Pancras Square where he also improved the facilities so he’s done a really good job so far.
Vauxhall leisure centre is a good place to come workout and also relax in the pool & sauna. Facilities are clean, well maintained & managed.

Better gym VAUXHALL
They have an aqua class there 2x a week... its GREAT! The people the pool & the best thing about it is the teacher, i believe her name is Maria, she is so full of energy & gets the people in the pool moving 10/10 i say!, sometimes it's like a tidalwave 😄😄😅. Booking is a must & spaces are in high demand. If your lucky to get one I might see you there 😉.

I love this gym, the sense of community and fun is lovely. The instructors are kind and friendly, it’s all a sports centre should be. Look out in particular to Volkan for his Zumba classes and Maria for her aqua aerobics.

Maria is a fantastic aqua teacher. I have been doing aqua for about 16 years and she is definitely the best teacher I have had!

AQUA WITH MARIA
I very much enjoy my classes at Better gym in Vauxhall. I especially love the Aqua classes with Maria. She's an excellent instructor. I would love to see at least one more day for Aqua. It's very much needed.

I have been doing Aqua Aerobics for over a year and the teacher Maria,is amazing.
I enjoy her class and she makes the class so enjoyable 😉
Maria,keep up the good work
You are the best!!!!!

This is such a friendly centre. The staff are extremely helpful. A special mention to Djon who is so patient and friendly with an old lady!
Maria’s aqua classes are amazing she is a truly great teacher.

Anqelique lovely too.

Only gripe increased numbers in class make it harder for Maria and not enough equipment.

The staff are wonderful. The atmosphere is friendly and the facilities are good. Marcelle

The sauna is nice and peaceful as a rule, and the swimming in lanes is very satisfactory. Hugh

I’m coming to this gym for long time and the members of staff is amazing. Any issues or problems I had regards my membership or anything else was solved straight away with understanding and respect. This gym is absolutely a factor nr 1 for my improved mental and physical health and became as a social part of my life. Warm welcome from receptionists Djon 1 greeting always with smile, especially…, insructors - Angelic, Shane , of course aqua lady Maria and the life guards Nacho (with advices ant tips for better swimming); Kapo. Dimitrius is helpful all the time! I can see lots of improvement coming with a manager Luke on board and the exciting issues I believe will be solved.

Poor facilities, lack of equipment, consistently comment into the Gym several things damaged and repair takes forever!

This is for route the days I attend the gym as it’s consistently happening with items being worn and torn and a lack of investment in the Gym

Two positive things I can say about the Vauxhall leisure centre is the two employees they currently have one of them Angelica, and the other one is the Djon, two people that I think are an asset to the business and it’s probably one of the main reasons why people like to come back, pleasant to talk to and always as a positive attitude and vibe about them!

Better Vauxhall - A Sanctuary for Body and Mind
If you're looking for a place where fitness meets mindfulness, then Better Vauxhall is your answer. Going to this gym isn’t just about building muscle – it's about creating a balanced, centered version of yourself. Each class feels like a meditation, not just for my body but for my mental state as well. And the best part? The instructors are the reason I keep coming back, day after day. Their energy, expertise, and unique styles have made this my second home. Here's why:

Sharon – The Precision Maestro
Sharon’s Tuesday and Thursday classes are where the magic happens. She doesn’t just lead a class; she teaches you to truly understand your body. Every movement is broken down with such clarity, ensuring that when you leave, your muscles feel exactly how they should – worked, stretched, and activated. Sharon’s attention to detail makes every session feel like a personalized workout, and I always leave knowing I’ve pushed my body to its limit, in the safest, most effective way possible. Her classes aren't just workouts – they're transformations.

Carlos – The Energizer
Carlos on Wednesdays and Fridays is the human embodiment of energy. His classes are an explosion of life, making every second feel like a celebration. The beat of the music matches his contagious energy, pulling you into a rhythm that makes you forget you're even working out. By the end of his sessions, you're drenched in sweat, heart pumping, and full of adrenaline. But more than that, you feel alive. Carlos doesn’t just make you sweat – he makes you feel invincible. If you need a pick-me-up or a shot of pure joy in your workout routine, Carlos' classes are the answer.

Rosemary – The Climb to Everest
Rosemary's Monday and Saturday classes are a whole different level. From the moment you start, you know you're in for a ride. The intensity is unmatched, and within minutes, you'll feel like you've just scaled Everest. But here’s the thing – as tough as her sessions are, you don’t just survive them; you thrive. Her classes push you to your peak potential, and you leave with a sense of accomplishment that no other workout can give. If you’re ready for a challenge that will leave you drenched in sweat and feeling like you’ve conquered the world, Rosemary’s your guide.

Aurora – The Leg Shaper Extraordinaire
Aurora’s LBT class on Sundays is my personal favorite weekly reminder that legs can hurt in the best way possible. It’s the kind of class where the pain is a sign of progress, and each movement carves out strength and definition. By the time I walk out, I can feel that satisfying burn in my legs all week long. Aurora’s ability to combine intensity with precision ensures that every rep counts, and she has this remarkable way of motivating you to keep pushing even when your legs are screaming for mercy. Her class is not for the faint-hearted – but if you want strong, sculpted legs, this is where you need to be.

All of these incredible instructors make Better Vauxhall my go-to place every single day. They each bring something unique to the table, ensuring that no two days feel the same.

The classes are fantastic, especially those taught by Rosemary and Carols. I also have a great time with Volkan in Zumba. The only issue is that we don't have 3 kg weights, which are essential for these classes. The gym recently purchased new sets of hand weights, but unfortunately, they only have 4 kg and 2 kg options. I often need to bring my own 3 kg weights from home. Also more space on the gym floor will be good for doing own experiences without using machines with a good grip floor not laminated one.

Djon is an amazing worker. He has help me out alot these pass days and he is very kind. Thank you Djon for all your help
