The Laboratory Spa & Health Club - Muswell Hill

firstly, membership is £155 per month. I only used the pool,sauna, hot tub and steam room (so I've no idea what the gym,cafe,classes are like). Pool etc generally ok. The main issue is five days a week the pool is closed for an hour around 10am-1pm (times change) when it's taken over by an old lady swim exercise class. So the car park is rammed, and as this class is very noisy the sauna, steam and hot tub are just too noisy to relax in while the class is on. It's a shame they don't allow a 'pool/spa' only membership for £70 a month, as £155 is a lot unless you use all the facilities there.

Update: I’ve now been a member for 7 years and all what I said 6 years ago (below) are still true today. A very happy member of The Lab. The Lab is a great gym, spa and health club. I’ve been a member for a year now and always look forward to going there! There is a lovely swimming pool, and the gym floor has leafy views (very pleasing to the eye). The equipments of the gym and their class variety are alright (for my expectations) although I’ve seen gyms that offer even more. I’ve never used their beauty treatments but it’s good to know they have these facilities. The staff are very professional, friendly and welcoming. Their cafe, with an Italian chef, is an extra bonus with great coffee and light food choices. Update: I love the fact it is located on top of a hill in a beautiful garden, but there is no public transport that takes you there. It’s my little sanctuary that makes me feel relaxed as soon as I walk in and feel great every time I leave! Keep up the good work team Laboratory! Thank you.
