I've been a member of Set LDN for over a year and a half now and the reason I love it is because of the supportive staff, amazing and uplifting atmosphere and most importantly because I've learnt to lift weights properly. For me, my initial goal was to lose weight for my wedding. However now I'm addicted to the feeling of lifting heavy weights, the jokes and camaraderie of my fellow classmates and Billy, Rob and Ben just always make me laugh somehow. Even if work has been tough, I leave the gym feeling good. 100% recommend.
Honest review: I signed up to SET LDN as it was highly recommended by a colleague. I had a great phone conversation with one of the trainers prior to having a tour of the facilities. The environment was great and the consultation was not rushed nor did I feel pushed to sign up.
If you want to train in a space where you're individually supported and pushed by the trainers and the ladies this is the gym for you! The community and environment curated by the guys at SET LDN is incredible. I’ve trained here for 2 years now and have learned so much, gained confidence, strength and met a bunch of amazing people. I love the small group training dynamic to keep you motivated during a session.
You’re truly paying for the expertise the guys (Billy, Ben and Rob) bring to the sessions and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re new to training or fancy switching things up this is the gym for you - you’ll certainly walk away with gains and friends!
Oooooh gym friends ….

Set Ldn. What can I say? Many things. I love this gym, I love its people, its coaches, what they are about, what they are trying to achieve and of course Timmy (the gym dog)! I have been coming to Set Ldn. for a few years now, I’ve gained so much confidence and strength in the gym. I have always been fairly active, but I was never sure what to do when it came to weights. This gym showed me what to do and how to do it and how to have fun with it. Don’t have any reservations, join now, I promise you won’t regret it!!
I joined Set back in June and have really loved seeing myself get stronger and really get into my gym girlie era. I’m glad the insta algorithm brought them to my explore page as I absolutely hated going to a “standard” public gym because:
1. I had zero clue on what to do and how to do things safely
2. I need someone to just tell me what exercises to do at each session
3. Public gyms can have creepers 🥴
Set Ldn addresses all the pain points that a regular gym has for me but the best thing about this (which everyone’s already alluded to) is the community. The trainers (Ben, Temi, Billy and Rob) are all super knowledgeable, supportive and good fun! It’s really nice that they make an effort to know everyone’s names and give that personal touch. The group of women that come to the sessions (which never exceed more than 10 each time) are all equally as friendly and supportive.
All in all, it’s really easy to become and stay motivated in the environment that the team’s created. The playlists allllllways bring the good vibes too. So if you’re looking for somewhere that can help kickstart your gym girlie era.. Set is the place to be 🏋🏽✨

I’ve trained here for just under a year and seen more progress in general health, strength and mental health than I ever did at a normal gym.
The trainers are great and really get to know you so they can challenge and keep you accountable.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a community and to train with friendly people.

Honest review:
I visited this space with the prospect of signing up for a few months.
Pros:
- Friendly staff
- High quality equipment
- Great vibes
- Knowledgeable trainers
- Small group classes
- Caters towards complete beginners so you get a solid foundation
- Strength - based workouts
- They support you with weight loss
- Monthly membership you can cancel anytime
Cons:
- More expensive than boutique gyms that provide high-end facilities including gyms like Third Space which have a pool and in-house spa
- No trial period
- Showers and changing rooms are to an extremely low standard and there's no towel service
- They ask you to pay a £50 deposit to show your commitment upon speaking with a trainer for 10 minutes and having a look around the space. You can then redeem from your monthly charge instead of providing a paid trial period.
Overall, this is a really good space and the vibes are awesome. My low rating is because, on my personal opinion, I feel that a clean, fully-equipped and stocked shower is a must for any gym that charges £250 plus per month. And also it was the main reason I decided to not sign up as it was a problem for me (having to carry shampoo and towel and then heading to work and/or commuting back home with a wet towel in my bag, you get the gist). This is just me though and if showers is not an issue for you, then this is definitely a gym worth considering.
The second reason is the £50 I paid and never got back. I understand it's a small business and the membership is going to be on the higher end, but I've never been asked to pay a deposit while still considering a space with the justification of "to protect a small business", and when I decided that it was not for me, I was refused a refund. A paid trial run could have worked just fine - this is what all gyms around London do. And also, I don't know how other people feel about this, but, I would appreciate one or two days to think about it before I sign up for a £275 monthly membership.
At the end of the day, I paid £50 to chat with a trainer for 10 min. Nice! :)

Before I signed up for SET LDN, I had a commercial gym membership which I barely used, didn't know what I was doing didn't feel comfortable hence rarely went. Luckily I found Rob and Billy and they completely changed my relationship with training. I thought I signed up there to loose weight but I actually gained confidence, my body literature transformed and I feel much happier with the results. I love the feeling I have when I train with SET LDN! They are fun but super attentive and even though it's a group training you feel loads of attention on you on every session whether you're new or have been training with them for years.
