Metabolic London is the city’s latest functional fitness gym, opening last month. They offer back to basics group classes including HIIT, power and strength training. There are four classes on offer: signature HIIT, rowing intervals, classic circuits and something called the “Viking Method”. I didn’t have to read any further – this was the one … More Week 30: The Viking Method at Metabolic London

Recently I was having dinner with a friend who has absolutely no interest in fitness. She told me she’d seen something I might enjoy: hula hoop classes. “Brilliant!”, I said, “do you want to come with me?” Her response… “don’t be ridiculous”. I looked into it, and there are indeed regular hula sessions all over … More Week 29: HulaFit

When did the term “boutique gym” become a thing? I love it! It kinda makes me think of a trip to the cotswolds with a little perspiration thrown in (surely people don’t ‘sweat’ in boutique gyms). It’s all about boutique in 2017, and ONE LDN is the capital’s latest offering. With studios in Imperial Wharf … More Week 28: Muay Thai at ONE LDN

21st June: Summer Solstice and International Yoga Day.

Last week I didn’t get round to trying any new fitness as I was out in Madrid supporting Team JST with their nutrition as they competed and won the Meridian Regional, punching a ticket to the CrossFit Games in Wisconsin in August. It was a truly inspirational weekend, and whilst I didn’t do any fitness … More Week 25: Sunrise Yoga at the Sky Garden

I love the idea of swimming. Watching people gracefully glide through the water, strong and fast, whether it’s at the frenzied start of an open water triathlon or solo in a pool. During the Olympics, swimming is one of the sports I find myself utterly engrossed in, it’s a joy to watch. The practise of … More Week 24: Swimming at Hampton Pool

I’ve heard a lot about UN1T since they opened their two London studios earlier this year. I believe their London Bridge site was previously an F45 studio (see my F45 review here) and they’ve kept the best bits while creating their own brand with their own style. I booked in to their Fulham studio for … More Week 23: Regiment at UN1T

Partying in in the east end till 6.30……   …pm. Guaranteed hangover free. Sign me up! I’ve been wanting to go to blok for months and finally got around to it this weekend. Opening last year, it’s one of the hottest gyms on the block (soz!) in ultra trendy Clapton. Offering a wide variety of … More Week 22: blokparty @ blok

After last week’s amazing boxing hiit sesh at BXR, I fancied trying something a little slower paced this week; enter Fierce Grace. What a name – perfectly encapsulating a fusion of strength, discipline and serenity with a sprinkle of playfulness. Their logo is an outstanding piece of design too. Fierce Grace has 6 hot studios … More Week 21: Deep Core at Fierce Grace
