"Wimbledon Strength Club" sounds like a weights gym, but every one of its five written reviews describes something far broader: cricket, tennis, squash, hockey, pickleball, a cafe and bar, and a gym as just one part of a large multi-sport members' club located directly opposite the All England Wimbledon Tennis grounds.
A Full Sporting Facility, Named Item by Item
Hari Tahil's review is the most complete inventory here: "Top quality squash courts, excellent cricket pitch, and many tennis courts, including all-weather indoors. There's hockey and pickleball, too, as well as a gym." He adds the location as a defining feature: "Minutes from the Tube, feels as if you are in the heart of Surrey. Truly an oasis in London." Aziz Adil, independently, confirms the range: "Excellent facilities here, immaculate cricket pitch, clay, hard and lawn tennis courts, plus squash." Gym access is real here, but it's clearly one facility among many rather than the club's defining purpose, whatever the name suggests.
The Food and Bar Side Gets Its Own Following
Aziz Adil's review spends more time on the cafe than the sports facilities: "There's also a relaxing cafe bar with a viewing area and balcony, perfect to come on a weekend and chill out. The food is prepared fresh by the chefs, the chicken and beef is halal, tasted good, a bit of a wait, about 15-20 minutes, but no complaints." He specifically rates the Hyderabad biryani "8/10 for me, could have done with some potato." A.J.'s review confirms the bar and cricket-watching draw independently: "Super club to watch the cricket on a lazy Saturday afternoon, bar is great and staff lovely too." That's two independent reviewers both treating the food and bar as a genuine reason to visit, not an afterthought to sport.
Named Squash Coaches, Praised Directly
MoIdris Malik's review is the only one to name specific staff: "I joined as a squash member and the coaches are fantastic - Stacey, he is great, and Casey." I'd flag that as useful if squash coaching specifically is what you're after, rather than general club access.
A Dissenting Take on Atmosphere
David Floyd's review, two stars, pushes back against the enthusiasm of the others: "Used the bar area. Staff very friendly but place is like an empty cavern. Not like a cricket club but more a sports club. Caters for all but misses the spot for me." That's a specific, honest account of a mismatch in expectations - he wanted something closer to a traditional cricket club atmosphere and found a larger, more general sports facility instead. Worth reading alongside the more enthusiastic reviews as a reminder that "caters for all" can also mean less of a specific, cozy identity.
What's Missing
No review states membership pricing for the gym, squash, or any other section specifically. Nothing confirms whether gym access is included with general membership or requires a separate tier.
Who It's Not For
Anyone looking specifically for a dedicated strength and weights gym - despite the name, this is a large multi-sport members' club where the gym is one facility among many. Anyone who wants an intimate, traditional cricket-club atmosphere specifically, given one reviewer's account of it feeling more like a general sports complex.
