As I’ve spent the majority of 2018 focussed on my running, it seems pretty fitting that the first HIIT-style class I’ve done in months is a one primarily based on that as well. Also means that I wasn’t quite so concerned about the fact I may be completely rubbish. You’ve probably heard of a Another_Space,Continue reading “Another_Run”

Esquared App
There’s no shortage of fitness apps available on the various app stores these days. It’s very rare, in fact, that a week goes by when I don’t get sent an email about one. Most are generally pretty good ideas, but the problem with apps in general just seems to be that there’s so many ofContinue reading “Esquared App”
Daniel Conn – F45 Global Athletic Director
Hell of a lot of new fitness classes popping up around London these days, most of them with some strange name that offer absolutely no explanation as to what they actually are. So how do you know if it’s worth actually trying them out? Well, luckily for you, we’re here to help explain. You know,Continue reading “Daniel Conn – F45 Global Athletic Director”
F45 Athletica
Functional. A major buzzword in fitness right now. Some may question its true definition – after all, isn’t any movement ‘functional’ in one way or another? Even so, there’s no disputing the growing popularity of training methods designed to help us move more efficiently, CrossFit being a prime example.

But that’s exactly what the team over at GB Active have set up. Group training sessions with Olympic, World, European and National level GBContinue reading “GB Active”
Best’s Bootcamp
We’ve tried out a fair few of London’s all-purpose fitness studios. You know the ones, those impressively designed boutique fitness spaces for the high-flying business types that want their training in quick and smart. You’ve probably heard of Barry’s Bootcamp and 1Rebel; cool, club-like fitness spaces with dim neon lights, chiselled trainers and the kindContinue reading “Best’s Bootcamp”
Studio Lagree
Up until a week ago we had absolutely no idea what the Lagree method was. Never heard of a Megarformer either – although we did hold a childish hope that it was some sort of giant armoured robot (it isn’t. Sorry. We’re hoping that’s a fitness craze for 2016). Now we know that the Lagree method is aContinue reading “Studio Lagree”
Fencing
Despite the fact that it’s one of the five activities to be featured in every one of the modern Olympic Games (athletics, cycling, swimming and gymnastics are the others if you didn’t know), fencing has never become that popular with the everyday man. Perhaps its no surprise, considering the aristocratic background of classical fencing, that its modern equivalentContinue reading “Fencing”
