June’s the month for getting fit. And not because you need a “bikini body” but mainly so you can chase those ice cream vans quicker. See post here for ideas on best health supplements. London’s fantastic for quirky fitness, here’s how to get fit in style this June:

Fitness in London: What

CP1

When the likes of Elle Macpherson and Jennifer Aniston ever discuss their respective fitness regimes, they reveal a week of pilates, kickboxing, HIIT training and barre work. Which is all very well, but for the mere mortal Londoner, this sort of routine would probably leave you at least over £100 out of pocket (per week). London’s fitness scene has well and truly blossomed, but at a price.

Something needed to change, and it thankfully it now has, with Classpass. Fresh from the US, this fitness subscription service offers access to over 150 of London’s top gyms, for a monthly subscription of only £59-£79  (depending on how long you commit for). Although you’re limited to three visits per studio per month, there’s definitely enough choice to keep you busy (in downward dog/ on a reformer/upside down)! Our favourite’s include: 1Rebel, Form Studios, Paola’s Body Barre, BoomCycle, TenPilates and DeRose Method.
