Discrimination

By suffering you can't say anything about the conditions of the place because it's easier to cancel the membership under false and discriminatory accusations than to clean it.

Overly disrespectful

Overly disrespectful, not only that but the place itself is messy and not clean, I wouldn’t want to train somewhere I know it’s not clean and hygienic. Overall I think before being rude to customers and taking away memberships make sure the place you work at is clean and safe I do not recommend this gym and wouldn’t ever go here again, get yourself sorted out stop being rude and be hygienic

Do not recommend this place.

This gym is a very bad place. The environment inside is toxic and uncomfortable. The manager is condescending and does not respect people’s privacy. There were times when things disappeared from my locker, and instead of helping, the manager said things like “you should not leave that in the gym,” “you probably did not close it well,” or “it is your fault for showing it.”

The bathrooms are always dirty and stay like that for weeks. Even when I tell the manager, nothing changes. Also, because of personal problems with a partner, the manager behaves very rude with me and other girls.

Basically, the service is poor, the atmosphere is negative, and I do not feel safe or respected here. I do not recommend this gym to anyone.

Misleading Sign Up Process

My experience with Énergie Fitness Thornton Heath has been extremely concerning and frustrating.

I initially signed up through their website for what was advertised as a free trial. Shortly after registering, I received an email stating that I had been placed on a £25 monthly membership. This was already confusing because this membership option does not appear anywhere on their website.

I attended the gym once but later decided it was not suitable for me. When I cancelled the direct debit, I was suddenly told that I was apparently locked into a 12-month contract and owed arrears. This was the first time I had ever been informed that a 12-month commitment even existed.

They later sent a supposed “contract” that I had never seen before, claiming it was agreed to during sign-up. At no stage during the registration process was it made clear that I was entering into a long-term contract.

Now they are threatening to send the matter to debt collectors over these alleged arrears.

Important contractual terms such as a 12-month commitment should be clearly explained before someone signs up. In this case the process felt extremely unclear and misleading.

I hope the gym improves transparency in its sign-up process so that other people do not find themselves in the same situation.

Incorrect Charge

I requested the cancellation of my subscription via email, and yet I was still charged. This is terrible! No commitment to the customer. Signing up is easy, but leaving? Apparently, they don’t care; they just keep charging.

I contacted them requesting a refund, and so far, no response. The worst!

DODGY

Despite never missing a single payment once, somehow my details got passed to an aggressive debt collection agency. I have now cancelled my membership because of this and deleted the direct debit as it's clear from other reviews that they ignore emails when you want to cancel.

The Best with amazing people there

The people there are very welcoming and more than always happy and ready to take you through the use of the equipment. There are very friendly and cared for everyone. Is the best for me for 4 years i was with them.

Trainer absent from class.. several times

It happened several times already, I booked a class though energie app and trainer didn't come. We didn't receive any notification that the class is canceled. That's very annoying and disrespectful...

Extra fees

The water fountain is been broken for a long time and you cannot refill your water bottle in there, you can only drink directly with your mouth, which is far from hygienic.
Only AFTER you sign up, they tell you that you have to pay extra 10£/ month if you want to use the locker. 15 years of using gyms in London, this is the first time i have to pay for the locker. This is the Ryan air of the gyms.
