Ten Health & Fitness St James's - London

Highly recommended for massage. I had a session with Timea Szegedi who is very patient and professional. Her manual therapy is very effective in releasing my shoulder tensions. She voluntarily extended the session for 10min to make sure I had the full experience.

Very inflexible policy and not pleasant customer service. I was late for five minutes due to traffic and was told I cannot enter studio because I lost the chance of warming up. Never encountered such inflexible policy from other fitness studios in London (usually they would understand the situation and let me in as opposed to enter argument with customer about whether it’s a few seconds early or late…) The reception staff is also not friendly when responding and dealing with customer frustration. If the staff is friendly and try to be helpful, think customers like me would not feel so upset about missing one lesson even there is no refund.

With that said, the class itself and teachers are quite good ?

Ten is a facility with great quality classes, even thought not all of the instructors are completely caring towards the clients. A shout out goes to the outstanding instructor Zoe Cornwall with whom I’ve had the most beneficial class for my injury. She is incredibly knowledgeable but most of all she was caring of my problem and constantly came to me to help me make the most out of every posture, and support me through all the exercises. She’s the kind of instructor you wanna work with. She does her job with heart and charisma, and that’s the perfect mix. Keep up the great job Zoe!I can’t wait to practice with you again.

After a number of relatively unsuccessful visits to Physio’s around London I decided that it would be better to try Massage at TEN Health & Fitness, St James's Studio. After only a small number of visits, one issue had cleared up almost completely and there was a marked improvement in general mobility and flexibility. I can only put this down to my masseuse James Hurst and his identification and resolution of the issues – a mixture of assisted stretching and massage. He has a good sense of humour, is clear and concise in his explanations and above all, has the ability to identify and resolve the issues presented. Thanks for all of your help!

I have done 3 sports massage sessions at Ten Fitness St James studio with James Hurst. I was impressed by James' knowledge and skills from the start. I have a lumbar scoliosis and tight shoulder and neck from working at my desk all day. James listened to my concerns carefully and take the time to find out what is causing the muscle tightness. He also gave me some exercises to do at home which really helped. I would highly recommend Ten fitness and James to anyone who is thinking of getting a sports massage.

I saw James Hurst at TEN Health & Fitness, St James's Studio for deep tissue massage following a back injury. It was one of the best massage treatments I've had (and I've had a lot!). James was very thoughtful and thorough despite the short appointment, suggesting what might be the underlying causes for my pain and giving me some ongoing exercises which could help prevent another injury. I've already recommended him to several friends!

Classes are small, which allows trainers to tailor classes to clients needs. They are all experts, they understand how the body moves, wont make you do countless reps but will help you hone your technique, build strength and learn how to do more complex sequences. It covers all fitness needs, plus physio and massage, which I find critical to helping me with mobility and historic injuries (thanks Gurdev)! I've also learnt that simple/slight adjustments can resolve shoulder issues i've had for years, and enable me greater extension and flexibility which i didn't think was possible.
Front desk staff are helpful and friendly - nothing is too much to ask, and it feels like a community.

I really like Ten, lots of classes, some really great instructors. Carol & Danilo are my favourites- they work you really hard and take time to correct and adjust your movements. Their instructions are super clear.

Ten have some great facilities- showers,
toiletries etc. However they really, reallt could do with updating the decor (the green carpets look and feel
old) and when you look closely at the machines & carpet you see how much the place needs a good hoover. It just does not feel very hygienic... I also wish they could bring a socks only policy as they seem to do in other studios. The St James studio has good spacing between the reformers so the person next to you does not bump into you. Fitzrovia is another story, however.
