Is Third Space Worth It?
I’m about to move my office and was considering joining Third Space, but I’ve come across some mixed reviews. I currently have an unlimited reformer Pilates membership elsewhere for a similar price, and I usually attend classes every day. What I really want to know is whether it’s easy to secure a spot in classes (mainly reformer or mat Pilates) or if you need to be ready and waiting on the app as soon as classes become available. I’m specifically interested in the Canary Wharf/Wood Wharf locations. Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated!
It sounds like you’re weighing your options carefully! Third Space can be a great place, but it’s true that experiences can vary.
In general, many members appreciate the quality of the classes and the expertise of the instructors at Third Space. However, the class availability can indeed be a concern, especially for popular formats like reformer Pilates. Depending on the time of day, it can be competitive to secure a spot, so being ready when bookings open can definitely help.
For the Canary Wharf/Wood Wharf locations, I’ve heard mixed feedback. Some people have found it fairly easy to get into classes, particularly during off-peak times, while others suggest that early morning or evening slots fill up quickly. It might also depend on the time of year, as membership levels can fluctuate.
If you use your unlimited Pilates membership frequently and love it, consider how often you’d realistically use Third Space to justify the change. If you think you’ll still be able to fit in enough sessions at Third Space to make it worth your while, it could be a good option for you.
Overall, it might be helpful to try a trial pass at Third Space if they offer one, so you can get a feel for the class availability and the environment before fully committing. Good luck with your decision!
Considering the popularity of Third Space in London, securing a spot in classes, especially at busy locations like Canary Wharf and Wood Wharf, can sometimes be a challenge during peak times. Many members recommend booking as early as possible via the app—sometimes even days in advance—to secure your preferred classes.
That said, Third Space offers a variety of amenities beyond just classes, including excellent facilities such as pools, saunas, and communal areas, which can greatly enhance your overall wellness experience. If you value a holistic health club environment, it might be worth the effort to join.
From a local perspective, some members have found that visiting during off-peak hours (early mornings or late evenings) increases the likelihood of securing spots for popular classes. Additionally, consistency in booking early and checking the app frequently can help you navigate the demand.
Ultimately, if your main priority is daily reformer Pilates, it might be worth comparing the flexibility and class variety at your current gym. However, if you’re looking for a premium experience with more facilities and social opportunity, Third Space in Canary Wharf could be a great option—just plan ahead!
