Gyms Near Bloomsbury and Kings Cross

Whether you want to make sure you can get your gym fix during your stay at the Mentone Hotel, or you’re generally just looking for gyms near Bloomsbury, you’ll hopefully find this list I’ve compiled useful.

The Gym Group London Bloomsbury

Coram Street, London WC1N 1HB
4 minute walk from the hotel
Open 24 hours
Tel: 0300 303 4800
Website

This wheelchair accessible gym in Bloomsbury is open 24 hours a day. I’ve personally not tried it but often walk past it. According to its website it offers a contract-free membership plan, has personal trainers available, and lays on free fitness classes every week.

Barry’s London Central

6 minute walk from the hotel
Open weekdays 5.30am-9.30pm, weekends 7am-3.30pm

By all accounts the “high energy” workouts are the main attraction at Barry’s (for those who are that way inclined). Again I’ve not tried it personally, but I’ve read the reviews and it would seem that the staff here appear to be friendly, and the facilities good quality.

7 minute walk from the hotel
Open weekdays 6am-9pm, weekends 9am-6pm

This gym near Bloomsbury is located within Coal Drops Yard, so once you’re done working out, you can move on to a splash of retail therapy, or refuel at one of the many eateries there. There are over 45 shops within the complex, so it could be worth making a day of it.

Going back to the gym, this is very much a class-based setup, offering dance, fitness, Pilates and yoga classes, as well as personal training.
