The Hogarth Health Club Review

Have been back to the club on numerous occasions since reopening; the level of cleanliness and signage is better than in any other establishment I ve visited. There is no comparison to pubs and restaurants I ve recently visited - I have positive antibodies so a degree of immunity but follow all the mask and hand cleaning rules. Well done Hogarth

Popular place to work out. Has a gym, pool and fitness sessions as well as a spare.

The Hogarth staff have done amazingly well to provide a super safe environment for members returning to use the facilities. The arrangements for use of the pool have been carefully thought out and work really smoothly and efficiently. It is wonderful to be able to swim again and to enjoy drinks in the bar or on the terrace. Brilliantly done, Hogarth. Thank you!

Very good facilities (gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room), lots of classes, hardly ever crowded, and with a nice cafe/bar attached. Highly recommended.

Tonight I visited Hogarth for the first time. Whilst working. The staff were amazing and the place was clean and the facilities were amazing.
I will definitely be back to visit again.
From the moment I walked in the energy was great. They even had a pyramid sign on the wall as I walked in, working in mental health on a daily basis, I love how the health club promotes all aspects of this. Maybe you might fancy a drop in clinic for mental health in that beautiful cafe of yours someday and I can pop down for work again?

Thanks for being such a nice venue to work at. I hope to see you again in the future.

With thanks,
Kirsty Redford

The club and the swimming pool is amazing!!
They posted a YouTube video about how they improved the Government guidelines! They even have a robot for cleaning! See you soon!

Best gym in a 5 mile radius. Love going there to let off some steam after work.

Lovely health club with great staff and service. Recently refurbished to a very high standard

It is amazing what the Hogarth have achieved in this small but unique club which we all love. Hats off to Tim and the team for the ingenuity that has gone into making the cub safe but still atmospheric to spend time . Our new Robot "Hellios" is the latest new member keeping the club hygienically on top of this virus.
Thank you to all its a haven for me and many of our fellow guests!

Avoid the MediSpa. I booked an appointment weekes in advance. Day before they ask me to reschedule. I show up in the new much earlier time and...oh she is sick and none if us can take you. Sorry we didn't tell you and waisted your morning with an hour travel each way. How horrible and unproffesional. Happy holidays indeed.

The staff has put in humongous efforts to make the club safe - and it shows! New online booking for the pool (only 3 max at a time!), cleaning crews continuously cleaning, staff all wearing protective face coverings, anti-bacterial stations everywhere, newly designed lockers, one-way system, socially distanced equipment/barrier in betweens, etc... it is deeply reassuring to see them making us all feel safe enough to visit, stay and use their facilities! Keeping the guests safe, AND the staff safe - that's how it should be! Thanks, Hogarth!

This is an excellent club which will take you on whichever journey you want to go. Nice, friendly, staff, good food, great equipment and classes. Terry Rodham, the fitness manager, is a class above.

The pool at Hogarth is my happy place! Awesome sauna, steam room, and hot tub, too. It feels like I'm on holiday every time I visit.

I have been a member of the Hogarth Health Club since 2004. If you are serious about working out the club meets your needs. If you are looking for a social club it meets those needs too. In recent years, the management have made lots of improvements in the gym, studios, and bar area. Although there has been change, the club has maintained its friendly, personal atmosphere which is at the heart of the club.

The place can do with lots of repairs, allways problems with showers, parking entrance and they can improve on the yoga classes/teachers. Everything else perfect. Food its amazying and spin classes are great work out.

Brilliant service and great health club overall. I've been a member little over a year and can honestly not recommend this place enough. Friendly staff with and great overall atmosphere and top of the range facilities that are improving with the new outside gym space. Deserves my 5 stars.

Wonderful, one of a kind club, with not only first class facilities of all types, but also a sense of friendliness, support and community quite unlike anything else I know. The cafe/bar adds hugely to the experience, a beautiful space with lovely food, coffee and staff, to relax/meet or do some work. The included personal trainer sessions in membership are more valuable than you can imagine, focussing efforts on reliable techniques and passing on knowledge. Get your gym facilities, classes, pool and racket sports all in one place (plus regular optional events like team challenges), in the heart of west London. - Member for 2.5years.

So pleased I joined Hogarth. It has been a positive step in the right direction . Welcoming environment and very nice staff. Before Hogarth I was allergic to the gym and now I look forward to my workouts.

The Club has worked really hard to ensure it's as clean and safe as possible. I feel completely reassured that it's as safe an environment as it can be

Members only club with gym, pool, squash courts, tennis courts, spa and fairly large cafe area.

There are not enough positive words I can describe about the Hogarth Gym! It truly is a special and unique place. From somebody who a year ago did not like gyms in the slightest ..I never thought I would have found somewhere that in many ways I can now call my safe/relaxing place where I can switch off and focus on me! Before or after a days work or even at the weekends it has become part of my daily routine which I would not change for the world. When you join you are given the chance to connect with a personnel trainer and continue sessions after. I was so lucky to be placed with an incredible PT called Helena, who really is one in a million and has been helping me achieve my goals! I Love attending as many different classes that the gym has to offer - and there are alot so you will not be disappointed! ALL the staff from reception, through to the P.Ts, Cafe staff and cleaners are beyond friendly and offer an exceptional customer service!

Great health club. I have to say the food was amazing. I'm a big foodie, so quite the critic. For lunch I had a katsu curry, served with rice, which was very tasty and the chicken was very good quality, followed by amazing dessert which was a trio (Banofee Pie, Salted Caramel Brownies and chocolate covered strawberrys). I don't think I've had a banofee pie that has tasted that good. Spa facilities were good and clean. Nice atmosphere throughout. Great bar with a good selection of drinks. Parking on site, plenty of it. Great experience and a good day out.

I was a member for over 23 years. I left the gym around 8 months ago. i am writing this after this interval today because i bumped into someone at the weekend and , they told me of their experience at the gym. This so mirrored my own experience that this prompted me to write so all potential and existing members who can see that they are not the only ones being treated unfairly.

The test is when there is a problem and how the club deals with it. My experience was, extremely crudely and without any professionalism.

My emails were not acknowledged , issues were not addressed, NO APOLOGIES WERE FORTHCOMING. The MANAGEMENT ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SOLVING ISSUES, or listening to members, as was shared by many others members since my experience, including issues of security in changing areas.

Front of staff when i was there were often too busy talking to each other rather than greeting the members .

i am sure there are members who had no reason to speak to management and would wonder what this is about. Be aware, if you do need to deal with them, you may be disappointed the way it may be handled. or hopefully this will start a review of how they deal with complaints and ensure the customers are being treated with respect and dignity.

Very well done to all at the Hogarth. Your attention to little details and cleanliness is first class. Opening the tennis courts in May was a major boost to many players. Special thanks to all staff who are really helpful and always have a smile!

Lovely pool and Spa , the Night Owl membership package is a great deal.Staff are always helpful and welcoming .

Pricy, but if you can afford it worth it. Pretty much has all equipments you need - extremely helpful staff, swimming pool and even a boxing ring!

Excellent attention to detail in present conditions, great friendly feel to this health club

Wide selection of gym kit, pool, tennis, squash, 3 studios.

Good to be back and impressed by what Hogarth have done in going the extra mile to make the club feel safe. Exemplary.

The HHC is back open for business... always a friendly and welcoming team from the guys at reception to the PT's and Snr management team bosses and decision makers. Liking the new menu and pop up dining experience at Crucial Cafe for the tasty food... Reliably reliable 10 out of 10. Thank you Jh

Very good club, glad I found it. Spent 7 years at Virgin Active Chiswick Park before I tried Hogarth, wish I'd done so sooner. For this review I will compare the two clubs. I go for the gym (mainly weightlifting) and the pool/jacuzzi area. I don't do any classes so can't comment on these.

VA Chiswick Park Advantages:
-Loads of natural light on gym floor thanks to all round floor to ceiling windows
-(Slightly) wider selection of equipment


Hogarth Advantages:
- Smaller, friendlier atmosphere. This is really noticeable. Everyone so much friendlier here.
- Gym less busy so hardly ever any waiting times for equipment, unlike VA.
- Opens at 6am (VA at 06:30)
- Loads of parking (notoriously difficult at VA)
- Much cleaner (VA has gone down hill and is really dirty in places, especially male changing)
- Jacuzzi is really hot, lovely to get in. At VA it's often only warm.

I could go on. Its a smaller, less busy, much friendlier, much cleaner club that opens earlier, is easier to park at, and generally nicer in most ways. If the gym area had more natural light and was bigger with more kit, then it'd be perfect, but you can't have everything I suppose!

Definitely recommended. If you want a good gym, join Hogarth. The only reason I'll ever leave is if I move out of the area.

Great GYM facilities for someone that does not use the gym on regular ;) SPA staff very welcoming and everyone working at the crucial cafe always smiling as they great everyone !

I've been an on/off member for about ten years and it's the only club that's treated me as an actual person. Very pleased with the refurbishment that's going on.

Does not have the atmosphere it was renowned for. Such a shame

Staff are so welcoming and friendly, they cannot do enough for you! Facilities are amazing. The locker room feels private and is always spotlessly clean, pool is a good length and there is a wide choice of machines and always one free to use! Highly recommend.

It's been a joy to return to the Hogarth since they've reopened. All measures in place have made me feel comfortable and safe without imposing on my gym experience.

It feels great to move again, thanks so much for looking after us members so well throughout lockdown and now going forward

Roisin is writing this review. I have just joined the Hogarth Health Club having been warmly welcomed on my first visit by Jo Harris who discussed the most suitable membership options. Jo kindly invited me to have a trial session at the club. I enjoyed a very pleasant visit in lovely surroundings, trying the pool, the smart new sauna and the well-equipped gym and relaxing in the cafe afterwards. Jo and all of the staff have been very friendly. I am looking forward to enjoying the excellent facilities and many options available for my fitness programme for the autumn and beyond.

Brilliant service throughout, welcoming, nice facilities and generally great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Went to use the MediSpa. Treatment was OK (not great) but it was a good price. Pool is a good size but still packed. Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room were good. Very few lounge chairs (which were busy) by the pool to relax and nowhere else you could go without getting changed again, so I would say not suitable for a spa day but fine for a quick visit.

Myself and my partner have joined the club recently and could not be more impressed. The H&S measures around the club are easy to follow and enforced in an incredibly polite manner when necessary by the wonderful staff. The limit of 3 in the pool is brilliant and means not only do you feel safe, but you actually get a lovely uninterrupted swim in as well. The bar is lovely and again really good cleaning mechanisms in place in all parts of the club. I think of all the public spaces I have been since lockdown being relaxed, here is the place dealing with the new guidelines in the best manner. Love it!

Superb Health Club with an amazingly knowledgeable gym team! The classes are fun and motivating (spinning is my favourite). The stuff are super friendly and I'm always greeted on a first name basis with a great big smile the second I walk through the door. After a week of joining you feel like part of the 'Hogarth family'. The gym manager Terry is one of the friendliest men on the planet too. Long story short, this is one of the best health clubs in London.

This is really a tardis haven set in the leafy backstreets of Chiswick, such a welcoming friendly club. The only place in Chiswick you can sweat and feel a million dollars whilst doing it.

5* experience every time I go - from the reception staff to the gym instructors - everyone is so nice and accommodating. Wishing you all the best from Horton and Garton!

Exquisite facilities, great staff, the director Tim is extremely hardworking, smart and dedicated to the club.

Highly recommend this to any and everyone!

There's something depressing about this place.

I don't know if it's the snobby trainers, or the fact that it's been a building site for months, or the dirt/mould/smell, and the grimly lit (and slightly gross) swimming pool, or the fact that it shuts at 9pm at weekends ...

I would accept all those faults, if the membership fee was cheap but, astonishingly, it is really expensive.

There's an outdoor space which could be really lovely in the summer but, unfortunately, they've furnished it with the most uncomfortable metal chairs they could find.

Why do I go? Because it's often quiet, and conveniently located.
