Thegymgroup.com is brilliant! The gym group Waterloo to be specific.
It's £20 a month with well spaced equipment in a large area with almost everything one can want out of gym equipment. There aren't pools and there aren't saunas and there aren't tanning beds so there aren't a mass of people who just get in your way.
In fact, this has more variety they most virgins I've been too. Only issue is that the dumbbells dont go heavy enough.

The freeweights area in those gyms are a bit pants from what I have seen. About the same as puregym or virgin which are also pants.

Virgin at least has two power racks (even though the flooring is made of pillows making them almost unusable)

"The Gym Group" only have one rack, and poor quality bars too. I only had a tour but can imagine its like being in a chinese prison in there. So many curl bros, such little space.
