Review of The Third Space

I've been a member of the Reebok for 6 years, I've been a member that long, because it's an excellent gym. Great equipment, great classes, good swimming pool and nice sauna/steam rooms.

Unfortunately on the downside, the gym is massively oversubscribed. On a busy session, there could be anything from 500 - 1000 people in the gym, seriously this place is like Piccadilly circus at rush hour. Recently I've seriously considered leaving the Reebok, it's almost impossible to keep you heart rate up whilst using the weight machines, such is the long weight for some machines. In a gym of 100,000 square foot, at times, I've not even been able to find a mat or even just a space on the floor to do some exercises, let alone a machine to get on. I'm not exaggerating, that's just what the Reebok is like, Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday evenings. If you're happy to persevere with your workout in the face of adversity on these nights, you can get to the end of your workout, but it's hard work.

Just a warning.

Otherwise, it's a great gym.

Matt.
