QMotion (Londres) Review

I was a member of Qmotion last year. In many ways it seems to deliver members with as many options of group classes and activity areas as possible, but it fails to actually do so on many levels.
Firstly, only a very small percent of the group class instructors are real instructors and good at what they do and actually know what they are doing. Classes like LBT, dont even waste your time going there to watch an old lady making her extremities in a chaotic way, making it easy for someone to injure himself...
Secondly, the facility is seemingly clean when you take a look around, but when actually start using the equipment is where it's getting disappointing. the mats smell really bad causing the area around to also smell bad. Never actually seen someone cleaning around (not even with a dezinfectant).
Further, the organization/management of the classes is definitely no reliable, especially for the ones in the morning. The 7:15 classes often start at 7:30 if not later.
Lastly, the gym lacks crucial equipment like inclined bench press, leg abduction machine, pull down machine or even pec deck. For those available you always have to queue to use them.
The facility is not small, but probably the organization of makes it so inconvenient to use.

The only good things are the yoga and the pilates instructors, when they are not being replaced by others, which is a total disaster

Think twice before signing up

4 squat racks, 4 platforms, 3 benches so if you are into powerlifting, weightlifting or just compound exercises then this is good.

Equipment and gym good. Be sure to get everything you're told on a tour in writing.

Great gym with state of the art life fitness cross trainers and treadmills. A lot of equipment for weight lifting and very clean locker rooms and bathrooms.

Good gym. Good price. Everything you need to make mad gainz (or losses). The road to absolute WHAMNESS continues. Would give 5 stars but power lifts hog the racks at times. #Getshreddedorgohome

Great gym with good equipment. The lighting is stellar, optimal for showing off maximum vascularity. The staff are friendly too. Esp the baldish looking asian guy.

Modern gym with good amount of space for all equipment. Good cardio equipment and squat racks. Only one of each machine with pins. Difficult to do a workout during busy periods.

Used to be a great place, but management is just letting the place go. Staff is inexperienced and not very professional. For QM students and staff, it might still be worth it as the price is really good. For the general public, not worth the money unless you have very low expectations Biggest issue is inconsistency: music is blaring at uncomfortable levels at times or the air conditioning will be set at high temperatures (I complained 2-3 times about some units blowing hot air in the cardio area), but sometimes they get it right and the place is not loud or uncomfortably hot. I guess that is what you get at a student gym, where staff isn't properly trained and cannot handle client expectations. Sad to see such a great place deteriorating due to lack of professional management.

This has everything you need from a range of cardio machines to 4 lifting platform in the main gym, and with the largest stretching area I have seen in any gym! There is also a women's only gym which has everything you need in it! Great gym!

Best gym in mile end, worth the travel even if you're in whitechapel, aldgate and beyond.

The best gym in London with an atmosphere that makes people motivated to train hard!

sometimes has a very strong unpleasent odor of BO, and when its busy you couldn't swing a cat in there. Then again, this is london but the cleanliness was an issue for me.

Great atmosphere and great place for Queen Mary students

I normally moan quite a bit about other gyms, but thats probably because I only ever go to budget gyms in Mile End. I mean you get what you pay for, right? Honestly outstanding facilities and really professional staff. I had issues with some barbell exercises and a member of staff helped me out - she seems to really know what she was talking about.

Prices resonable for Queen mary students but limited when busy

Very spacious with high ceilings and good natural day light shining through the main gym. 4 platforms which are ideal for Olympic weightlifting and Power-lifting. Dumbbells range from 2kg to 50 kg. The latest state of the art cardio equipment from Life Fitness, Concept 2 Rower's and Watt bikes. Members have access to all classes, the option to book a free 1-to-1 with a trainer (where they will also be given a 6 week program - updated every 6 weeks) or avail of the more premium option of evidence based Personal Training.

Only complaint is that the women's gym is always a mess. Every time I have to clean up someone elses equipment they've left lying around so I have space.. Need a more obvious sign for people to put their equipment away.

Nice, modern and affordable student gym with good programme. Wish it was open till late, though.

Great facilities and classes, and a very reasonably priced public membership

Gym facilities are very good, nice atmosphere and a good mix of people.

Well equipped gym with great group classes. Off peak membership good value.

A good fitness centre for students. Badminton halls were decent.

Very unfriendly staff, esp an Asian looking baldish guy. Talking the way like he's the boss.

I LOVE QMotion gym. It s the best. The staff are really friendly and professional, the gym is functional and has everything I need, there s a women s only gym and the classes are great fun. I get personal training with Chris- he is the best.

Overpriced for facilities offered convenient if you go to QueenMary just buy yourself an easy curl and save alot of money.

A good equipment and much better vibes/environment to train.

Really great gym. Very knowledgeable staff and incredibly good value. You really get looked after. Facilities are maintained at a high standard especially for a university gym. I'm pretty impressed by how well the gym floor is maintained and how clean and tidy it is. The problem with the previous gyms I went to was that you get a culture of very intimidating members. Caters very well for powerlifters and weight-lifters

Amazing gym and atmosphere! Great staff who are all very helpful. Would highly recommend

Have registered here around 6 months ago, very good place to work out
