What a relief to have this gem of a fitness centre back open. It has been carefully planned with safety in mind. I had a great PT session earlier with Alessandro.

I loved the light filled space in Abeville Road it feels calm and serene. The space for class is for only 5 people which feels intimate. I tried the baby and mum yoga class and the teacher was great, moved through a gentle but effective flow with useful tips on how to engage with baby while having a workout. Great facilities and super clean. It’s fine if you have to stop and attend to your baby and come back to it. I only managed half class today and still felt amazing. Will be back!

I love Petra’s Yin class on Thursday evenings. She is very professional and caters to her students’ needs. The yoga poses stretch our bodies well and I always feel super relaxed afterwards.

I work nearby and returned from maternity leave with no time and need for some personal training. I'm so pleased I reached out to Nordic Balance and met the wonderful team there. Such a hidden gem! Everyone is so friendly and kind - including the members! Very rare in Mayfair! My trainer, Liz, is helping me exactly how I need to be helped and I look forward to my sessions every week. Having an assessment with Laura was so insightful. Also huge thanks to Alessandro for showing me round the club in the first place. Super happy with every aspect of the experience. Thank you all!

I go to Nordic Balance in order to use their gym facilities, use their squash court (lessons with Jaymie Haycocks), and Osteopathy services (Andy Mansfield).
Regarding Osteopathy, Andy is fantastic -- he takes his time to explain his observations, how he plans to address the issue, and to answer any questions. He is also very careful throughout the session. He was extraordinarily helpful in addressing my costochondritis -- I will definitely continue to go to Andy for osteopathy sessions, and would recommend him hands down.
Regarding Squash, Jaymie is a great instructor: patient, clear communicator, and knows how to push you in order to improve. When thinking of squash lessons, I will definitely continue returning to Jaymie for instruction.
Regarding the gym itself: although small in size, the gym is well equipped, is always clean, and the staff are great

I tried Nordic Balance at the Naval & Military Club for the 1st time this week. After much walking over the last few days (weeks) I decided that my muscles deserved a treat.
Laura gave me the most fantastic "Sports Massage" ever !
It hurt, but that's what its all about :-)
She is an expert masseuse and I would highly recommend her.
Thanks Laura !

A great gym with a great team. From the moment I had my first class I knew I was in the right place! It's very hard to find a gym that ticks all the boxes and Nordic Balance does just that. Thanks guys, top marks from me...

Nordic Balance is a fantastic gym. The space is small but has everything you need, the size is actually what makes is special as it feels so personal and all of the staff are lovely. The classes are small so near on personal training. Just a great little haven :)

Very friendly staff, great facilities but the best reason for me is that it's so quiet you can always get on the machines or find space to workout - the pool is a great way to mix up your workout too! If you're fed up of the mainstream crowded gyms just book a tour and see for yourself!

Wonderful service by Alessandro and the team, this gym is seriously fantastic and the equipment has been perfectly selected. I adore the pool and the spa, it is so lovely and relaxing and the lap pool is great if you want to kick it up a notch. I wish I could attend the classes but my timetable doesn't allow - however I am sure they are fantastic also. I start PT with Aliz next week and I can't wait, I heard she is brilliant. Thank you so much Nordic Balance!

Nordic Balance is amazing. I don’t know where I would be without it. The trainers, classes, and people are all incredible. Aliz has been keeping me fit and motivated for over a year now along with Chris, Liz, Alessandro, Pierre, Jo, Simon, Dimitri, Laura, Jelka, Maggie, Jack, BB and everyone else being amazing at what they do. It is a home away from home. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I started my membership at the Nordic Balance in February and have since, regulaly been going to the evening classes. I love all the teachers and because the groups are small (max.6 people) you receive great attention and guidance from the teachers. I can see a clear improvement in my posture and health (both mind and body).
The prices of Nordic Balance are excellent for the quality you get in return and really worth the investment.

Such a wonderful gym - great equipment, a friendly team of trainers, and the perfect size and vibe for me. And Liz! Where would I be without Liz! I started a course of personal training with her after a surgery, and haven't been able to let her go since. She's hugely knowledgeable, has taught me so much about movement and training for my own body and needs, pushes me in all of the ways I need most, and is absolutely the best part of my day. Even at 06:30!

I love the atmosphere the team generates, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Yesterday was a prime example as they let the lunatics run the asylum for a class. I have loved my time at the gym and will really miss it when we relocate to the city. Good luck in the future

Excellent staff, super friendly and accommodating - they achieve a lot in a compact setting. I have had therapy sessions with Laura (sports massage) and Paul (chiro), both are excellent, friendly and I can highly recommend them! Also, very central and convenient location for anyone looking for a go-to spot near Piccadilly Circus.

Andy at Nordic Balance is a highly experienced and professional Osteopath. He was able to quickly diagnose my issues and conduct a treatment plan that really worked for me. He takes the time to take you through the function of the body and describe the different techniques, and is a very good listener. I would highly recommend him!

Andy is fantastic at his job and I truly feel after every session there is progression. He is very professional,efficient and always goes beyond any expectations I may of had. I didn’t ever think after being diagnosed with a torn disc that I would be at a point when I don’t feel any more pain without medication but due to all the sessions we have had I now feel no pain at all. I couldn’t recommend Andy enough and also I have recently referred two other colleagues who also feel the same way.

Review of Jean-Vincent Michel - Physio. I first came to see Jean-Vincent with a snapping in my hip and tight feeling around knees. Immediately he made me feel comfortable and was so knowledgeable and skilled in approach. After just the 1st session there was a noticeable difference and I am now fully healed. He was so giving with this knowledge and tips / exercises for me to follow through on post each session. Ive seen Physio's before but none quite a good as Jean-Vincent. He ha also helped several of my colleagues and we all call him the miracle worker. He is truly talented and a lovely, warm and welcoming person. Thank you so much! I hope I wont need more physio again in the future but should I, I will only be coming back to you. Chloe

Nice quiet gym with very competent staff. JV helped me with my numerous injuries during a busy running race schedule. Without him I wouldn't have crossed the finish lines! Also the classes are small and allow the instructors to help with your technique etc. Highly recommend

Nordic Balance has got to be the best gym I have ever signed up to. Not only are the facilities and classes amazing, but the staff are so friendly and helpful. The quality of the personal training is just exceptional! This year I have been able to achieve my fitness goals and I don't think I would have done it without the Nordic Balance team. A special mention to my PT Aliz, who has been amazing this year. Would highly recommend to all!

I have joined this gym a little more than a year ago and I am delighted with this decision ever since. It combines everything I have been looking for. It is clean, it has all the equipment I need, yet it’s small enough not to feel out of place and the best part of it is its staff! I also highly recommend PT classes, and Aliz in particular. It’s also a bargain compared to other high-end gyms out there and really worth the money

Nordic Balance......my secret sanctuary in the City! A small but perfectly formed gym with a selection of fantastic trainers and great changing rooms! Monday and Tuesday mornings would not be the same without a kick start from Aliz, a great trainer, motivator and music curator to start the week on a high.

Quite simply the best gym in London in the best location. The trainers are exceptional and are able to provide a holistic approach to fitness. A special mention to Aliz, who makes you run further, row harder and do more squats than you ever thought possible and always with energy, enthusiasm and a big smile whatever the time of day. ????????????♂️

Nordic Balance is far and away the best gym I have ever encountered. The personal trainers are all highly experienced and professional, the many classes are well designed and fun in a pulse busting way, and members have the benefit of an army of yoga instructors, physios, chiropractors and sports rehabilitation therapists. The team is welcoming and friendly, and the whole thing is ably, pleasantly and efficiently administrated. A top place!

Just had my first osteopathy session with Andy at Nordic Balance. At the end of the treatment I felt like I'd just stepped off the magic carpet. Andy's a self-proclaimed nerd which comes across in his attention to detail throughout the treatment. It was almost as though he was speaking to my body through his subtle adjustments and releases. At the end of the treatment I felt relaxed and energised. For anyone who has had on-going issues like myself, I cannot recommend Andy highly enough. His caring nature makes you feel instantly at ease and he is clearly passionate about what he does. Thank you so much!

Nordic Balance offers a focused, professional, and personal training environment. The trainers and physical therapists are top notch. I selected Nordic for its very discreet location, the quality of the staff, and the low-key, anti-glam experience they work hard to maintain.

The perfect gym. Small personalized classes, with friendly, committed and highly competent trainers. I have been a member for three years, and I have never been fitter, stronger or more flexible. Nordic Balance - the best gym in London in my book.

I have been training with Nordic Balance balance for a number of years now and I can safely say it is the best gym I have trained at. Pierre and the whole team deliver a consistently friendly, approachable, personal experience and their commitment to this ethos is evident in every interaction. I also train with PT Alessandro who has delivered a fantastic programme helping to take my all round fitness to levels I didn't know I could achieve. He keeps raising the bar, setting new challenges, whilst always keeping the circuits fresh and varied (but always tough!). I have also received first class physio and sports therapy treatments and advice throughout this time from Jo and JV and I cannot stress enough how great it is to have this available in house from members of the team who already know your training style, injury history and who can monitor and give advice on your recovery as you train.

I would give it 6 stars if I could. I have joined this little gem 2.5 years ago and have not looked back since. Nordic Balance is a welcoming and friendly gym with the most competent team around lovely owners Jo and Pierre. I can highly recommend trainer Jo Collins who is not only able to work around any body limitations but also to adapt to my ever changing objectives. Nordic Balance helped me achieve a level of fitness that allows me to tackle all sorts of multi-discipline challenges. I cannot be more appreciative.

A genuinely first class gym. Jo and Pierre take great pride in the quality of what they offer and the quality of the communication/service is representative of a much bigger organisation. My experience of the personal training with Alessandro can't be faulted. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Training with Liz has truly been a holistic experience. Her skill and ability in yoga and other associated disciplines is second to none. She also takes a keen interest in your health & well-being generally. She makes it very hard to change to anyone else...how could they match-up? More Liz please!

Great personal trainers with a holistic, client-centred approach. I'd particularly recommend Nordic Balance if you have had an injury and want help with rehabilitation and injury prevention. I have a back injury, and my personal trainer Simon helps me stay pain free, and gives me the confidence to try new equipment and exercises. I've had a few personal trainers in the years I've been a client, and they've all been excellent, knowledgeable, skilled and focussed on supporting me to achieve my goals.

Love the osteo sessions! Andy is thoroughly professional and a wonderful osteopath. I could not do without the sessions for keeping general health and wellbeing in check and particularly when I have any niggles or pain. Best in London!!

Having recently started training for the London Marathon in April, I arrived at Nordic Balance in quite desperate need of a sports massage. Gratefully, in-house masseuse guru, Laura, worked her magic over one especially intense hour; her various techniques tenderised me to the point of no return. However, had it not been for her, I would still be wandering around with unhealthy muscle tightness and knots galore. Don't delay getting help! If you want to release your athletic potential, Laura's the one to see. It helps that the location is so central too - totally convenient! Will be sure to book a follow-up in the months to come.

Great BodyFit class, Aliz took the time to make sure I wasn't hurting myself, being a novice at classes - I just felt bad about slowing the class down! I can hardly move today (in a good way) so that's probably a good sign... Very friendly staff indeed, in particular Pierre, Alessandro, and Aliz! I'm sure once I meet the rest of the crew they'll turn out to be nice too... 10/5 stars!!
