The honest view
Pros and cons
Pros
- Clinical services in the same building, which no budget chain offers
- Pools and saunas at nearly every club
- Multi-club access across the national estate
- Discount routes — corporate, Vitality, AXA — mean many members pay well under list
Cons
- Three to five times the price of a budget chain
- Contracts rather than rolling months
- No 24-hour access; early and late trainers are shut out
- Prices are quoted per club on enquiry, which makes comparison harder than it should be
Not for you if: Anyone on a budget, anyone who trains before 06:30 or after 22:00, and anyone who only ever wants a barbell.

Questions
Nuffield Health, answered
How much is Nuffield Health membership in London?
Roughly £85 to £115 a month depending on the club, with central London clubs at the top. Nuffield quotes per club rather than publishing, so our figures are estimates and are flagged as such.
Do all Nuffield Health gyms have a pool?
Almost all of the London clubs we list do. Battersea is the notable exception — it has a spa pool rather than a swimming pool.
Is Nuffield Health open 24 hours?
No. All clubs run staffed hours.
Can I get Nuffield Health cheaper?
Usually, yes. Corporate schemes, Vitality and AXA partnerships all discount the monthly rate, and most members pay below list. Ask before you sign at the quoted price.
