Of course in the town center wouldnt expect not to be crowded but still. Try to avoid the weekends, excellent outdoor facilities.

Hidden treasure of central London, and cheap prices. Atmospheric, not too busy, relaxed feel to the place

I go to Oasis mainly on a Friday to unwind after the working week. Although the time I go the pool can sometimes be crowded, I still really enjoy swimming there. The facilities have everything thing I need.

When every Lido in London was heaving in the heat of the summer.... this was really the perfect quiet oasis from everything .... not too busy if you time it right...

I went Oasis occasionally when something was down at Pancras centre. The outdoor swimming pool looks nice, but most facilities are dated. No towels are provided. The sauna was not spacious and warm enough. But it was as crowded as Pancras at the most times.

Beware of this centre being in the men's changing rooms feels like I'm being eyed up at every opportunity which is a little weird, I've had my locker broken into in this place as well, jeans stolen phone money which the centre didn't really feel obliged to help me culprit, if your after a gym session/swim then it's not to bad

The main reason I've chosen this gym is because it's near my work and offers a reasonable student monthly membership (one of the perks of my job). I might have to update my review a little later after it's completed its refurbishment, but for the moment, for the price you pay, it's really just an average gym. The exercise room is very small at the moment, and the machines are not the best to use. I wish they would include some of the traditional spinning bikes as those are much better than the new models of stationary bikes. To my disappointment, there are no rowing machines - what kind of a gym doesn't have any rowing machines?! And I'm not whether this is because of the work going on at the moment in the building, but there's absolutely nowhere to easily do some floor exercises after you've done your cardio, and I'm not keen to do that with the people in the weight room... The pools aren't bad, but they could use a bit of a clean. I like that there's an indoor and outdoor pool, though, and they do offer kickboards and such for different types of workouts. As for the classes, it's nice that with the membership you can get access to any of the Camden Borough Better facilities, but there aren't too many I can take that fall outside of working hours. The dynamic yoga class on Wednesday nights are pretty difficult, but they are very good and worthwhile. Only problem is that I find the teacher there a bit mean/rude... As for the ladies' changing room, it's really old. The lockers sometimes jam, the keys are a little gross, being so old and having gone into the pool by different users. It's also annoying that in addition to the cost of the membership that you have to pay 20p per use for locker storage. So don't forget anything or the lockers will cost you 40p! The showers aren't great and can be a little fickle in the temperature. At least they do have a couple of hair dryers for you to use. For me, only worth it due to the fact that I have to swim to keep up fitness whilst nursing a running injury and that it's in close proximity to work. If not for that, I would say that I wouldn't be itching to renew my membership every month.

If you are looking for somewhere to work out, I must admit, I do not even know where to refer you - London is ghastly for this. However, if you are seeking somewhere to get hepatitis b, you should come here as soon as possible. There are loads of gym equipment with countless years of sweat, frustration and dirt caked everywhere you could imagine. So basically - clean, intelligently run place to get fit - one star. Central location to get hepatitis b - 5 stars.

Mediocre. Staff aren't particular friendly, changing rooms and swimming pool are quite dirty. But let's be honest, it's ridiculously cheap for central London and it has an outdoor pool in the summer. It's approx £5 for a one-off swim and around £30 for a PAYG monthly membership.

Let's be honest here, i have not tried the sporting facilities here. I wish i could but instead i'm visiting the osteopath. I was in pain and one of my colleagues who comes here regularly told me they are great here. The osteopath who is taking care of me (Andrew) is really nice and does listen to you and try to distract you from the pain when manipulating your body. He has also been able to give me thorough advice and even email me further suggestions. Anyway, every time i go there, i am drawn to the big glass wall and stare at the outdoor swimming pool. I realised last week that there is also an indoor swimming pool! Generally speaking, the place looks clean and well maintained and all the members of staff i have spoken to are friendly. Hopefully i'll be able to check the facilities further soon and will update this review

The receptionist was rude and unprofessional, the sales representative I spoke to was friendly at first but I felt as if he was bullying me as I said I wanted to check out other gyms in the area and I wanted to wait till pay day he said "surely you have a credit card you can pay the first months bill on" how date he!! I hear so many good things from this company but I was very disappointed. The outdoor pool is gorgeous and It felt like I wasn't in London, the showers are communal which is a shame as I like my privacy.

Very disappointed by the staff organisation, they signed me up for the wrong course and made it unnecessarily complicated to get a refund !! The only reason I stay with them is their squash courts, apart from that I would never recommend it

I was desperate for an outdoor pool on a hot summer day and found Oasis in Covent Garden which was not far from where I live. Bad mistake. The place is dirty and there's nowhere you can suntan apart from a small area where you just lay on the tiles. For some unknown reason they allow adults to go in the deep outdoor pool with their 2 or 3 year olds so 10 minutes of me being in the water and enjoying my swimming (as much as I could between hundreds of people randomly jumping around) I saw something brown floating under my nose. I hoped it was a leaf. Unlucky! A few minutes later we were asked to get out of the pool as some bloody kid just pooped and it had to be emptied in order to be cleaned. Gawd! I thought there are rules about small children only being allowed in the small kiddy pool on the side. But no, the idiots are allowed to drag their brats in the deep water and allowed to let them poop in the big pool. Never again. Disgusting experience!

GROSS. A word I haven't used often since I was something like 6... But it's the best way to describe the pool here. Indoor pool was closed for lessons so outdoor pool it was, which was a nice idea on the alleged hottest day of the year. But that's where the good news stops (must say the changing rooms where pretty clean but 5 showers, seriously??) Back to the pool : too small, too crowded, lane by speed but no one seems to be sticking to them. But most importantly, the water was DISGUSTINGLY GROSS : you literally couldn't see a yard ahead of you, no kidding. I kept my mouth sealed shut to try not swallow an old rotten plaster or any other UFO (unidentified floating object). Really needed a swim so gave it all I could bear but had to get out after like 15-20mn I felt so grimy. NEVER EVER AGAIN. Oh, and you pay £4.85 for this great experience + 20p for the lockers (yes, indeed they still have those old lockers that actually swallow your 20p, so don't forget anything).
