I absolutely love my gym, Better Kentish Town has truly become an essential part of my routine and overall well-being. The facilities are always clean, modern, and well-maintained, with a great variety of equipment and spaces to suit all kinds of workouts. The staff are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help, which creates a really positive and motivating atmosphere. Whether I’m hitting the weights, taking a class, or just enjoying some time in the pool, I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. It’s such a welcoming place that makes fitness fun and rewarding!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families on membership who want a clean pool with a well-stocked gym alongside it. Day pass visitors should factor in the substantially increased per-visit cost when comparing to other North London leisure centres. The pool area is clean and staff respond quickly β€” a positive for families with young children.

β€œMy son and I got a week pass while in town on holiday. He was able to get some decent swims in trying to keep in shape over break. Staff was extremely helpful and got us sorted nearly immediately. Upper gym area is large with good variety of equipment. Highly recommend it!”

β€œA great gym, but terrible toilets! Toilet button has been broken for weeks now, also broken hook on toilet door aswell as the hand dryer which now has an β€˜OUT OF ORDER’ sign. Surely the maintenance team can manage this??”

β€œI’m really concerned about the condition of the ladies’ showers at this sports and swim centre. There is a significant amount of mould on the ceiling, and it’s quite noticeable. As someone who regularly uses the facility, this is worrying from both a hygiene and health perspective. Mould in a damp environment like a shower area can spread quickly, and it doesn’t give a good impression about maintenance standards. Many members, including children and older adults, use these facilities daily, so it’s important that cleanliness and safety are prioritised. I hope management can address this issue and ensure the showers are properly treated and maintained.”
