Question Health Club for 2 Weeks (Near Paddington)

Hello All,

I'll be staying @ the Paddington Hilton for 2 weeks while volunteering at the Olympics (I'll be working at Wimbledon, so it should be some easy transit on the district line)

Since I'll be there for 2 weeks, I was hoping to maybe get a 2 week pass / membership to a fitness center with a pool / sauna / good equipment etc. I don't mind paying a little more for a nice facility / spa like place. Does anyone have any good recommendations that would be easy to get to near Hilton Paddington?


Thanks!!

^^^All kudos to a guy who is prepared to fly across the Atlantic and to stay in a London hotel - all apparently at his/her own expense - to be an (unpaid) volunteer at the Olympic Games!^^^

That puts my own miserable journey across south London into perspective.

Whilst not the answer itself, keep an eye on Groupon or a daily deals consolidator like DealZippy. A lot of health club chains sell 1 or 2 week trial passes via these sources for very little.

Nuffield Health at Sheldon Square (5min walk away). Smart, modern, lots of my colleagues use it

Seymour Leisure Centre. Council run, more basic but still pretty good and 15 mins walk from the hotel

Best bet would be to call them and explain your requirements. They'll probably cut you a good deal.
