Paris Gym (Closed Permanently)

(2 Ratings)
Popular workout venue in London's other gay hot spot, Vauxhall
Set inside two railway arches just south of the river in gay-humpy/thrivey Vauxhall, this very popular 8,000-square-foot gym was started in May 1996 by Peter Gann and Phil Hathaway, who for 11 years ran is as London's only exclusively gay gym. The establishment is now 'male only' rather than gay-specific and features a generous selection of weight machines and free weights from an unsually large number of different suppliers. Plus a cardio area and a sauna. Has a certain pull with over-30 gay muscle bears, though decidedly more friendly than sexy/cruisy. Day passes are available. Located two minutes from Vauxhall tube station. After 19 years Paris Gym closed its doors on Saturday 27 June 2015.

Place to work out

This is certainly a gym where you go to work out and not to cruise. There is probably the best selection of machines and free weights of all London gyms. The guys in the gym are dedicated to their routines and muscle building than to anything else. If you want to shape your body this is definitely the place.
