London’s predominantly gloomy and unpredictable weather leaves me daydreaming of diving into the blue azures of warm oceans, of sandals, floaty dresses and craving somewhere warm. However, until my next holiday is booked, I know where I can go for that comforting and warm feeling; to Hotpod Yoga with Sarah Lindsay! Unlike the dry and […]
TRIED & TESTED: Barreworks
Rosie set her sights on a dancer’s body at Barreworks, a boutique fitness studio in Richmond which combines the basic dance exercises with yoga and pilates for a full body workout, specialising in toning and strengthening.

TRIED & TESTED: Tonan Bootcamp
As a self-confessed magpie of all things fitness, I often find myself in somewhat surprising situations, usually because I said ‘Yes!’ to a class without bothering to do any research or read the fine-print.

TRIED & TESTED: Bouldering at The Arch Climbing Wall with Never Stop London
Indoor bouldering is rising in popularity across the country, not only as a way for climbers to stay in shape and work on technique in between outdoor adventures, but also as a workout in its own right. I was very excited to check it out for myself at an introductory session at one of London’s […]
TRIED & TESTED: Clubbercise
I am always looking for fun and exciting ways to workout so I was especially thrilled when I discovered Clubbercise, a Zumba inspired dance class with funky tunes, glow sticks and disco lights! It’s hard to find a class that has you smiling the whole way through, whilst giving you a full body workout. Not […]
