Portobello Green Fitness Club

The Westway Development Trust owns this friendly, bustling place, which has retained a strong community-focused feel in the face of the bland corporate image of the chains. Capoeira and zumba are popular, along with courses (which cost extra) ranging from kung fu to belly dancing. If you just want to use the gym, a recent refurbishment has brought in new Kettlebell and ViPR equipment - and there's a decent free weights room as well.
