I've just quit my membership at the Fusion Club after one year of growing increasingly frustrated with the general unpleasantness of the free weights area (people not wiping down, hogging the equipment, etc), the smelly changing rooms (guys, urinals exist for a reason. Don't take a wee in the shower!!), and the overcrowding (it appears as though they really don't consider the number of people that can fit in the gym).


I am currently considering joining ESPH. I was wondering if anybody who is/has been a member had any thoughts on the gym. Is it worth the extra ?20 that it costs compared to other gyms? Did the physical trainers help you achieve your goals?


Ta in advance!

Bringing back an old thread here.. but I agree with the complaints re: Fusion. I went in last night and turned around a left. Aside from the bad changing facilities it's always so busy. Not a single cardio machine free. And the weights area is poorly managed. Have only been a member for a month but going to cancel membership and join ESPH.

If you want lots of heavy free weights, resistance machines, smith machines, squat racks etc then Flaxmans behind Camberwell bus station is the place to go. Old school but v friendly. A few cardio units too for warming up/down.


And cheap. Gym only is just ?20pcm.

Fusion is such a waste... lovely space and gym ruined by terrible management. I remember going last summer during the heatwave and the place was steaming hot with no tissues available and worst of all, both water fountains constantly broken/empty. Hopeless.

I can vouch for Esph. You get a physio assessment when you join so you can understand your body and any problems. The classes are not over full and a good variety. There is equipment Pilates or cardio to pick from. And a good gym.

Check out www.esph.co.uk if you join before Xmas you get a month free and a ?25 fitness voucher.

Dulwich Fusion has improved since the summer but it's still badly ventilated and changing rooms are getting tatty despite being newly fitted not long ago. Also their pilates classes are oversubscribed, making them not worthwhile. I'm thinking of letting my membership lapse and going elsewhere.

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
