London Gym Day Passes: Where to Train, Prices and Tips for Tourists

Your London hotel gym is a treadmill and a few light dumbbells, or there’s none at all. You want a proper session between meetings or museums without signing up for a membership.

Below: eight gyms worth the trip, then which ones are near your hotel, what passes cost, how buying works, and when a weekly pass beats paying by the day. For every listing, see all London gyms with a day pass or the map; for other cities, browse our United Kingdom page. Not sure you need to leave the hotel? Read our hotel gym vs day pass comparison.

How much does a gym day pass cost in London?

Several figures come from reviews rather than price lists, so confirm them. Each gym’s page shows where its price came from and when it was last checked.

Buying a pass: what to know

Buy online for one club, or pay at the desk

33 of the 69 listings sell online for one specific club: The Gym Group and PureGym passes are for one gym, and Fitness First’s are for a chosen club and date. Most independents sell at the front desk. None of the 69 records a cash-only desk, and none records a free trial; Hitio Gym Hoxton’s paid 3-day trial is the closest. Choosing between the chains? Our PureGym and Fitness First guides above explain how each pass works.

What the pass leaves out

Check opening hours on your training day, especially at weekends in the City: PureGym Aldgate, Moorgate and Tower Hill and Fitness First Liverpool St, Fenchurch St and Oxford Circus list Saturday and Sunday as closed. Towels vary — Tonico included them in February 2026, Buzz Gym Cannon Street hires them out, and Retrofit London had stopped providing them by September 2025 — so pack a towel and a padlock; our carry-on gym packing list covers the rest. None of the 69 listings records an indoor-shoe rule or a women-only policy.

One message settles most of it

Day pass or weekly pass?

Where a gym publishes both prices, the week pass pays for itself on your third visit. As of September 2026, 4 London listings on Daily Sweat have a weekly price.

The Hidden Gym also sells a 10-visit flexi pass for £40, and Gym Nation sells 10 day passes for £120. Count your realistic workouts first; our day pass vs weekly pass vs monthly guide works through the break-even maths.
