The Mission: 5 gyms, 1 day & don't get sacked!

Ok so I had the day off today, well some would call it a day off, others would call it a 'sick' day. And yes I did it for you guys!

I'm often asked which gym to go to so my mission today was to go to 5 gyms in one day. I will train for 30mins at each and will test all of their facilities (well not all as I don't wanna use the sunbeds for example and endup looking like a lesbian having done a half hour total in there!) but you get my drift!

Fitness First: Kingly Street


Ok so I start at 8am at fitness first kingly street- a small gym, cosy and 24 hours. The equipment is the same as any fitness first however for this time of the morning its quite busy up until about 9 when it empties out and I'm left with some old fart on a running machine. The trainers there are quite hot one in particular and I'd say 2 of the 3 were gay, however they weren't sleazy which is good and offered advice which is good. The steam room and sauna facilities were nice and empty but I guess would be packed in the evening. These are mixed with women so the dirty pervs who like to let it all gang out, be warned, don't! The next stop is jubillee hall in Covent garden.

Jubilee Hall: Covent Garden


This has amazing equipment especially if you like the hardcore old school traditional weights. The trainers are hot gay and arrogant, but pretty to look at. Its certainly the David Barton of gyms in London. It still wasn't too busy, thank God, but i'd worry about how cruisey this gym is considering that I felt impregnated by how hard one of the guys in there was looking at me! Next stop is Fitness First in Covent Garden...

Fitness First: Covent Garden

The equipment here is not far from that at Kingly Street but the clientèle is certainly different being a mix of business men on their lunch break and Brazilian escorts who've just woken up and are getting ready to bend over. Either way the guys there are hot. It gets to 1pm and I head to the shower for my 4th shower of the day and what do I see? 2 of the hottest little guys I've seen in a while showering together. Not in a quick shag discreet kind of way, but in a sensual I love you kind of way. They even shared a towel. Not sure if that's all allowed but I took a quick peek and walked into the sauna, something I think I regretted-why? I see a very cute young blonde guy who's maybe 19 getting blown off by this fat bald bloke...why, why why? I walk in and Blondie freaks out, and walks out. Tempted to punch the old pervert paedophile who's sat there with his nasty bits out and sweat dripping off his bald head, I walk out tempted to vomit and to avoid catching anything that may be flying around. Straight or gay that was not something I wanted to see so why do it?!

If you're reading this mr pervert, can you go to a gay sauna or something instead? So I leave from here and head to South London's Soho Gym.

Soho Gyms: Waterloo

I guess the closest gym to this is Jubillee Hall in terms of the equipment. It's got good equipment, isn't too cruisey and the showers are clean. No exciting stories to tell from here but I'm guessing the one in Soho gets cruisier.So if you can go here at a non busy time, I'd advise it.

Paris Gym: Vauxhall


The only gay exclusive gym in London, well openly gay gym. In comparison to 'closet cased Jubilee' for example. I was pleasantly surprised here. The staff were extra friendly and it had a nice family feel to it (without the family!). The equipment is very good and would suit any serious bodybuilder. In terms of the guys, there were a few hotties but the average age is around 45 so if you're after twinks i'd suggest going to Ku Bar or g.a.y. because you won't find them here! Not sure if I liked the 3 open showers that they had - it felt like I was in prison...or the army (hot!)..why am I complaining?

To Summarise

This is only a snapshot so if anyone would like further info or if you are a user of one of these gyms, feel free to comment as i'm sure you'll know better than me in my 30 minute review time. For the record, I don't use any of these gyms simply as they're too gay for me!


Tip of the day:

Don't neglect your leg muscles - they release a great deal of testosterone into your system, because they are such large muscles. This is a major anabolic hormone for the body.When this occurs, you will indirectly help to increase your upper body strength and size due to these anabolic effects

I wouldnit say the Jubilee hall trainers are that hot! But they are arrogant for sure!

Should Know Better said...

I love Paris Gym it's possibly the most un-cruisy, unpretentious gym in London. The staff are also the friendliest and their tab system for protein shakes is a great idea.

I miss protein shakes...and protein bars actually. Dammit.

dan said...

I don’t quite get it. Why is the “fat bald bloke” blowing off a cute 19 year old (seems to me like an act between consenting adults to me) labelled as a “pervert paedophile” “with his nasty bits out and sweat dripping off his bald head”. Strikes me as one of the most prejudiced remarks I’ve ever read!
Is public gay sex only socially acceptable between cute twinks? OK, I agree, it might be aesthetically more pleasing to the eye. I don’t know why you act so surprised and appalled that such “activities” occur in a gym frequented by gays. I’d be very surprised if they didn’t.

Will you be reviewing that new gay gym sweatbox in soho? as I've heard bad stuff about it so far so want to know what you think

Jason said...

I'm confused, you talk about the trainers being hot and ogling cuties in the shower but then slag off the places if they are too cruisy... Sounds like a double standard to me...

Liam said...

I'm intrigued about this SWEATBOX too but I've never heard of it but I'm hoping the guys are hot unlike Paris gyms

How long has it been around?

David said...

I don't think the trainers at Jubilee Hall are that hot either. I was a member there.

Gym Box on St Martin's lane has deffo the hottest PT's. Marcel in Paris Gymn is hot and there is a hottie that is also a stripper in Soho Waterloo.

You forgot to review Soho Covent Garden, cat walk central
