This place is brilliant. I mainly attend small group PTs and can share my personal experience: there really is a sense of community, fantastic trainers (I meet Reiss, Tom and Sam) give full attention to detail, you are being welcomed at any step and equipment & changing rooms are fantastic.
A very easy review to write: without sounding totally cliché, joining the Foundry has been life-changing for me. Never before have I enjoyed or stuck at exercise that wasn’t a sport - but this is different. The coaching and variety of the sessions keeps things motivating and interesting, and I’ve loved being able to both feel and see myself getting stronger and fitter. Despite it crippling my bank balance (membership is not cheap), can confirm it’s worth every penny!
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the facilities are great, the other members are friendly and supportive, and all the coaches are knowledgable and enthusiastic. It really does feel as though they get to know you and your goals, and are invested in your progress. A particular shout-out to Crystal whose endless positivity and encouragement is a VIBE!
While I’d rather keep it a secret, if you’re thinking of joining a great gym where you’re guaranteed to see results, look no further.
The Foundry is on another level. The small‑group personal training sessions and classes are truly bespoke: the coaches know your name, tailor exercises for any injuries and push you just the right amount. The atmosphere is what makes it special. There’s a real sense of community and zero ego, and coaches make everyone feel welcome. You never have to worry about what to do; the structured programmes keep training enjoyable and time‑efficient. Training at The Foundry really helped me achieve visible results. Their workouts levelled up my fitness and strength and made me actually enjoy going to the gym. If you want serious results in a supportive, fun environment, The Foundry is it.

Thank you so much for leaving your review! - Foundry HQ
Its pricey but for a good reason. Its at a convenient location. Moreover, you can tell the trainers are handpicked professionals who are really good at their jobs. Some may worry that because its a group pt session, the workout may not be intense, and such... However, dont underestimate the power of group pt, because it is guaranteed that the end of every session, with training tailored to your physical abilities designed to push you, you will end up exhausted, and the trainers will ensure that you are.
Im a student so there will be a time where i will have to leave foundry in a few months but i have learnt many things my time here. I recommend this gym heavily not only for the workout but also for the vibes here. What more can someone ask from a gym?
Hands down the best gym in London!
The sessions (small group PT and classes) and evolving programmes are completely bespoke. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced - they not only know your name, but your capabilities and injuries - adapting exercises to suit you and nudging your further.
After a few months of consistency you will be stronger and fitter than you have ever been - no matter your age. The community of gym goers are supportive and encouraging - no egos here.
My only complaint is that there are not more branches across London - I travel on 2 tubes to get there - and have done so for a number of years. C’mon Foundry!
I joined Foundry in at the start of this year having been referred by a friend, and despite having never done any weight training before on a regular basis I am now an absolute convert. The trainers are all so friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and I am loving seeing the progress in my strength as the weeks go by.
Since joining, I’ve seriously levelled up my training — and I actually love going. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and the people are genuinely supportive and inspiring. The trainers — Sam, Reiss, and Tom — are outstanding. They tailor each workout to meet you exactly where you’re at, helping you push your limits safely and effectively.
The facilities are great, with thoughtful touches like GHDs and towel service that make a big difference especially when commuting around London! It’s clear that a lot of care goes into creating an experience that’s both high quality and community-driven. Couldn’t recommend it more. Thanks team!
