Update: I’ve now been a member for 7 years and all what I said 6 years ago (below) are still true today. A very happy member of The Lab. The Lab is a great gym, spa and health club. I’ve been a member for a year now and always look forward to going there! There is a lovely swimming pool, and the gym floor has leafy views (very pleasing to the eye). The equipments of the gym and their class variety are alright (for my expectations) although I’ve seen gyms that offer even more. I’ve never used their beauty treatments but it’s good to know they have these facilities. The staff are very professional, friendly and welcoming. Their cafe, with an Italian chef, is an extra bonus with great coffee and light food choices. Update: I love the fact it is located on top of a hill in a beautiful garden, but there is no public transport that takes you there. It’s my little sanctuary that makes me feel relaxed as soon as I walk in and feel great every time I leave! Keep up the good work team Laboratory! Thank you.
I used to be a member at the Muswell Hill Lab Spa a few years ago, and though I remember there were issues with cleanliness, I was still going to come back to this gym as they have a proper length pool (25m) which is difficult to find elsewhere in the area and I love to swim. Unfortunately, it seems the Lab don't care much for their membership sales! I first emailed their general manager Seb asking about options for myself and my fiance - two new members! - and heard nothing back for weeks. Then decided to try their main inbox - you guessed it, no response again. You would think they would get excited by charging a premium for a mediocre service, but I guess they don't need any more new members! We will be taking our business elsewhere.
firstly, membership is £155 per month. I only used the pool,sauna, hot tub and steam room (so I've no idea what the gym,cafe,classes are like). Pool etc generally ok. The main issue is five days a week the pool is closed for an hour around 10am-1pm (times change) when it's taken over by an old lady swim exercise class. So the car park is rammed, and as this class is very noisy the sauna, steam and hot tub are just too noisy to relax in while the class is on. It's a shame they don't allow a 'pool/spa' only membership for £70 a month, as £155 is a lot unless you use all the facilities there.
I joined the Laboratory club in Muswell Hill one year ago and have really enjoyed it. It is a wonderful sanctuary with a gym, swimming pool and a fantastic cafe overlooking the beautiful grounds. It is a very special place with friendly staff. I unfortunately became ill in May with a life threatening illness - I decided I needed a trainer to rebuild my strength. The personal trainer Roxani has been wonderful, guiding me through strength exercises in a fun and supportive way. I couldn’t ask for more dedication and support. I highly recommend this club.
Overall happy with it, rejoined after a 17 year gap. The gym is good, friendly staff, excellent PT Roxani who understands fitness for my age group ( 60 yo) Classes generally been good lovely Zumba ( Claire) excellent Pilates ( Alison) wonderful yoga ( Lisa). Cons certain classes are very oversubscribed and hard to get into. I have fed back to reception and one of the managers about the studio ( yoga one) windows being dirty a few times and nothing has been done. Air con seems hit and miss in that room also same for gym. But overall it’s giving me what I wanted from joining.
