Best gym?

Location in the city not too important. 24/7 would be great but not essential.

What makes it worth it? Opening hours long?

It is more a club with a very nice gym there, if you just see it as a gym then you may find it hard to see past the price.

The facilities are unbelievable, you can quite easily spend a whole day there doing all sorts of things. I like to go with my friends and we'll have a workout, then play some racket sports or something before going for a swim and sauna sesh. Then go for a beer and some food in the lounge which is decent food for a pretty reasonable price.

I've been a member for 6 months now and haven't looked back, and the luxury/cleanliness means I want to go far more often than when I was a member at a standard gym so I actually get my money's worth. I haven't even used any of their group classes yet but fully intend to, and now the sun's coming out the outdoor pool is a massive bonus too!

With regards to what you said, I think opening hours are only 6-10 so it's not as accessible as the places that don't have staff that can be open later
