FLY LDN
Downward dog with a backdrop of mountains, lakes and forests at FLY LDN where the high-definition imaging system beams incredible scenes from nature directly onto the studio wall. Founder Charlotte Cox tapped into the science of slow TV to eliminate distractions from yoga studios to enable students to find a deeper focus. She has also cut the yogi jargon and brought the practice back to basics with four different flow classes plus barre and low-impact strength and conditioning workouts designed to complement yoga practice. Definitely one of the best gyms in the City of London.

The boutique fitness studio has locations popping up all over the City, with 1 Mary Axe being our favourite – not just because of Prosecco Fridays. The luxe gym is home to a state-of-the-art sound system, industrial changing facilities and a self-proclaimed sensory-driven environment. The gym is the epitome of cool and has many classes to get involved with, including Reshape Upper Body & Abs. Where do we sign?

Strength House
Strength House offers its gym-goers a place to condition their body as well as recover from injuries using exercise mechanics and evidence-based nutrition. Founded by personal trainers Tara Gadre and Greg Cornthwaite, the boutique gym and rehab clinic was formed after they realised there was a gap in the market for general physio rehab and individualised exercise design in one place.
