It’s not often that a fitness brand launching in London slips under my radar, but if I’m being completely honest I’m a bit late to the table with Orangetheory Fitness. Luckily the team invited me over to the press event at their recently opened space in Wandsworth, so I’m fully up to speed now. IContinue reading “Orangetheory Fitness”

The Engine Room
Rowing seems to be rapidly turning into the on trend fitness class at he moment. Which is upsetting as I’ve never been that inclined to do it. The downside of that is I dread going to one of the sessions, the upside is that I probably get a much better workout and I burn aContinue reading “The Engine Room”
Core Collective – Lift + Row
As fitness studios go, Core Collective is up there with the crème de la crème of fancy boutique places to train. In December they opened up their second studio in Knightsbridge, just a stone’s throw from Harrods – which kind of tells you the target market for the place. I nipped down in the eveningContinue reading “Core Collective – Lift + Row”
Victus Soul – HIIT and Run
Victus Soul. Sounds like some sort of weird Marvel villain. Probably one that wears a suit and has some sweet mind control powers. Definitely the kind of villain you’d actually want to be anyway. Unfortunately that character doesn’t exist (damn it, can’t stop thinking about him now), but regardless, it’s very cool name for aContinue reading “Victus Soul – HIIT and Run”
F45 Brixton
I remember when F45 had launched it’s first studio in London. I had no idea who they were and definitely didn’t think they’d take over the fitness scene. A few years later and it’s starting to feel like there’s an F45 studio on every other street. Probably pretty accurate as far as I can tell.Continue reading “F45 Brixton”
Firstlight Cycle
It took me a fair bit of time to get into spin classes. The first time I tried one I thought it was tantamount to some sort of torture. 45 minutes of relentlessly pushing as hard as you can whilst sat on an exercise bike in a darkened room – not my idea of aContinue reading “Firstlight Cycle”
Interview – The Fitting Rooms
We try our fair share of gyms and studios over at The Allrounder. Some are good, some are okay, and some are frankly about as effective as a Zsa Zsa Gabor workout video (yep, seriously that exists). We’ve been heading down to The Fitting Rooms for a while now and thankfully it fits firmly intoContinue reading “Interview – The Fitting Rooms”
UN1T Trooper
If you’re a fan of fitness and you live in London, the chances are you’ve heard of UN1T; the group training studio that’s seen more than its fair share of popularity over the last couple of years. With its original site over at London bridge, the concept is relatively simple: strength, cardio and mobility trainingContinue reading “UN1T Trooper”
BXR Climb to the Beat
Up until a few weeks ago we didn’t even know what a VersaClimber was, let alone endured a 45-minute class on one. Sure, we’d seen them before, usually in the corner of some studio or gym, ignored by everyone as a “bit of old kit”, we’d never even thought about using it though. That wasContinue reading “BXR Climb to the Beat”
Mr Hyde Toughest Week
Hell of a lot of fitness classes to try in London these days, some really good, some not quite so impressive. But what actually makes a class good? The planning, the difficulty, the music? Over at The Allrounder we’re suckers for classes that really push us to the limit. Mainly because if nobody makes usContinue reading “Mr Hyde Toughest Week”
