Here is a rundown of the best gyms in Hendon and the surrounding area.

Gyms in Hendon

Virgin Active 

Virgin Active is a premium gym in Mill Hill, providing a 20-metre pool, a well-equipped gym floor and a packed timetable of fitness classes. The class offering covers everything from reformer Pilates and lift club to boxing, so whether you’re training for something specific or want to mix up your workouts, there’s plenty to choose from.

Evolve Gym Hendon

Founded by sports and exercise rehabilitator Sina Ghami, Evolve Gym in Colindale is a step above your average gym setup. The facility has three studios and an ultramodern gym floor, with 3D Astroturf for functional fitness training built in throughout. 

Nuffield Health 

Nuffield Health Hendon Central is a one-minute walk from Hendon Central station, making it one of the most convenient gyms in Hendon for commuters who want to workout before or after work. The facilities are expansive, with a swimming pool, sauna and steam room, alongside the main gym floor and a full class timetable covering cycling, Pilates and HIIT.

It’s also one of the only fitness centres in the area with a dedicated women-only gym space. 

Gravity Fitness Hendon

My Gravity Fitness and Dance is something a little different. Based in Hendon, it’s an aerial acrobatics and pole dancing studio offering classes for all ability levels. If you’re after a new workout, want to move your body in a challenging way or want to improve your flexibility, this is worth looking into. 

The Warehouse

For those who want to train with more intensity, The Warehouse is a martial arts gym offering classes in Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu and MMA. Boxing in Hendon doesn’t get much more serious than this. The coaching is hands-on, and the community welcomes newcomers, so don’t let the discipline put you off if you’re coming in with no experience. It’s a great option if you want a training environment that pushes you.

Sports and Activities 

Not every kind of workout needs a membership card. Hendon Park has tennis facilities, a basketball court, an outdoor gym and sports courts, which you can book for a casual game or as part of structured coaching sessions. 

For something more adventurous, the Welsh Harp reservoir offers a range of water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and canoeing on the Brent Reservoir. It’s well worth exploring if you like to mix up your routine.
