This gym is for people who want to come for a little peace of mind doing what you feel is the best for you with no problem, the staff is very helpful if you need assistance.
I feel very comfortable using this gym and will recommend it to every one who want to exercise for a reasonable price.

Better Gym is the best gym near my flat. There's a good amount of space, a good variety of equipment and a nice vibe to the gym.
There are a few minor problems with the gym:
- sometimes the weights area gets messy with weights scattered around
- the bench press stations are flawed - unless you have super long arms, the hooks to rest the bar on are awkwardly placed, with the higher hooks being too high and the lower hooks being too low. This for me is the most annoying problem with the gym, even though it's minor, as it makes it harder to maintain good form and sometimes results in shoulder pain. It needs to be made a little lower.
- the music is always the same playlist and it gets a bit repetitive
- the gym could do with some calve machines and maybe a proper deadlift area
Overall, I really like Better Gym in Holloway Road and will use it so long as I live nearby.
Not just a better gym- the best!
Absolutely love my better gym in Holloway. Very friendly staff, but not the kind that are chasing you trying to make conversation when you just want to work out. Excellent selection of equipment, both free weights and machines. The studio area is also amazing, it’s so great to not have to wait around for classes to finish to use it. You can just walk in and do your thing, again with any kind of equipment you can imagine. The gym is always looking presentable and other customers are friendly, too. Overall an accepting and relaxed atmosphere. With the low cost of membership I’m blown away with the excellent value for money.
