A changing schedule shouldn’t mean abandoning your training routine. A Nordic Balance gym day pass gives you the flexibility to train when you’re in Central London without signing up for a membership. It’s particularly useful for people travelling through London, professionals working nearby or anyone whose routine changes from week to week.
And if you’re thinking about joining Nordic Balance longer term, a gym pass is also an easy way to experience the club, facilities and atmosphere before deciding whether membership is right for you.

Fantastic spot! All the staff are also very welcoming.
Came for a physio consultation and came out knowing way more about my condition and on the way to fixing it. Will be back again soon to continue the sessions.

Gina is an incredible therapist. I suffer from chronic headaches and the combination of her osteopathy and acupuncture treatment has been life altering. I highly recommend her for anyone suffering from chronic conditions.
I've been going to Nordic Balance whenever I'm in London since 2022 and the have very competent and professional practitioners. I highly recommend their sports therapists. No matter how I feel when I arrive, I always feel looser, straighter and lighter on my feet when I leave.
Really enjoyed my time with Debbie. She was kind and welcoming when i arrived and throughout the session demostrated her knowledge to help with my back and hip pain. Would highly recommend.
Laura is amazing, she's really helped me to identify the root of my problem and the best treatment to fix it, which is definitely working since I no longer feel pain like I used to. She is also great at acupuncture - I always feel much better after my appointments.
Thanks Laura!
Thanks Laura!
