Fitness4Less Cambridge Heath

The most bang for your buck gym ever. Friendly staff, all the equipement you need, not too busy outside peak hours. For the price you're paying to have a sauna is incredible value. There is one easy thing that would make it a 5 star - shower temperature control. It is unpredictable.

Group Exercise Instructors. Please beware. Do not cover or teach any classes with this company long term. I patiently waited 3 months to get paid last year. Delayed payment again this month with no formal commication and no reasonable explanation as to why. My classes have now been offered to another instructor because I decided no to show up one morning because they had not been paying staff with no explanation. I even informed the club and members I would not attend the class with no pay before hand. So not only have I lost money for the future but classes that I had been teaching for 6 months. Building up a great rapport with some fantastic loyal members. It is so disrespectful of this company to treat external contractors in this way. Now going through a Small Courts Claim to get what I am owed. I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. Please don't fall for it. Inviting cover instructors in and not paying them.

** A warning to LGBTQ+ Community. You are not safe or respected here. ** I want to preface this by saying I have never felt as dehumanized, degraded and violated as much as I have than from my experience at the hand of Fitness4Less and their management. I'm still traumatized months later. Most disappointingly the official response from Fitness4Less's Director "Stuart Rosenberg" after I sought answers. I was reported for using exercise equipment in the female gym area. As a trans woman 9 years into my transition, using the female areas is obviously what I'm accustomed to doing -- as I am a female. Criminalizing trans people for simply "existing" in their gendered spaces is what directly contributes to the high rates of murder, assault and bigotry we disproportionately face. Management should have taken this complaint as it was at face value -- transphobic, baseless and blatantly discriminatory. This complaint is akin to reporting someone for being black or wearing a hijab, all protected characteristics. Never did I think I would be apprehended, humiliated and forced to divulge my private status to F4L's management the next time I came to the gym. In FRONT of their reception area. Appalled by how this was handled, I eventually reached Fitness4Less's Mr Stuart Rosenberg, their director, who offered zero accountability. He in fact doubled down that: 1) Fitness4Less's facilities do indeed discriminate based on birth sex. 2) As Cambridge heath has no unisex facilities -- trans women, trans men and gender queer folk have NO access to changing rooms or toilets. 3) Most importantly, any queer person is open to any hostility from any patron who decides to report them. This is a dangerous precedent for any queer, gay or trans person at this gym. You are second class citizens and any bigot who wants to question your gender will be enabled. My queer partner and his gay sister --who have occasionally gone to this gym --- were equally horrified at my treatment. Fitness4less -- you have a moral duty to add a clear disclaimer on your sign up form that your facilities discriminate based on birth sex -- you are next to a large community of queer folk in hackney and they should not be at risk of what I went through. If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, please reconsider coming here. You are not safe or protected here.
