Great workout. Instructors are all super nice, know their stuff and watch you like a hawk. No shirking or bad technique allowed. Good for inherently lazy folk, like me. Very popular so classes booked out months in advanced. Excellent wait-list system, however, so generally one can get into classes without much trouble. The minus one star is for the showers which are perpetually clogged, curtains in shower stalls and changing cubicles which don't fully close and hairdryers which blow out cold air. Most people go home to shower. Expensive. (This is London... what isn't?) Cheapest you can get classes is about £16-17 if you buy a course of 40 so be prepared for a big initial outlay.

After trying barrecore (similar to Bar Method) and Method at Frame in Shoreditch I was starting to lose hope that there'd be any good barre studios in London. Alas, I've found a good one. I had Kiri Jones this morning and I finally worked up the sweat I was looking for. She's a very clear instructor both providing verbal cues, physical demonstration, and hands on corrections. Unlike other studios, I appreciated that Kiri did a fair bit of the workout with us. The particular class I was in, was small (8 people) and well organized. Mayfair location has one shower, two toilets, a small changing room with lotions, deodorant, hairdryer, straightener etc. I will be back!

But Blue Cow Yoga is a deliciously proper studio. Right in the middle of the city, it's in a fantastic location. Spacious and very North American. You take your shoes off when you enter, help yourself to free tea or water and pad round to the changing rooms, where they have all amenities including hair straighteners. This I like! Also the abundance of lockers to keep your valuables safe are really appreciated. It's a very chill environment, they get the importance of focus and a peaceful vibe. I came for an inversion workshop and was delighted with the teacher and the experience. Mollie, the teacher, was super patient and explained everything very clearly. While she made it look elegant and easy herself, she took the time with all the beginners to make them feel comfortable. The room was very spacious with lots of white wall space to practice against, and plenty of maps, bolsters and blocks. I am definitely planning on coming back for their free yoga week for newcomers and I'd love to try a treatment too, once I recover from this inversion workout!

TREATMENTS. Sorry…read moreto shout. But, seriously...the treatments. I have not been for yoga yet (but I will!) --- and had signed up for updates via their newsletter. As luck would have it last week I received an email from them about 25 quid Bespoke Treatments. Answer to my prayers, little BCY -- answer to my prayers. After being slammed and shoved into planes, delayed in airports, working from bed and overall stress levels escalating, I needed a massage. A good, deep massage. And this is what I got. Which will have hooked me forever, so this marketing campaign to get folks into the studio worked. I'll be a faithful follower of Zoe, who whipped my knotted back and shoulders into shape. Really, very talented. Will be back for the yoga and the massage and the acupuncture -- and whatever else really? Really! It's a beautiful lower level space that feels tranquil and serene amidst the craziness of the City. It's clean, large, spacious, and the staff is friendly without being intrusive. Will return and update about the yoga -- but for now, I can say that I'm feeling mighty fine and relaxed due to that bespoke beatdown. Ahhhhhh.

I am a big fan of the barre classes and Barrecore did not let me down…read more The studio is very light, airy and clean. Located just off a little side street in Chiswick. The class was broken up into warmup with cardio, abs and then work on the bar working each leg and arms. There were people of all levels, which I like as I am certainly not a prima ballerina and the instructor gave instruction based on those levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced). Your legs will shake, and burn and shake some more then you will have a fantastic stretch and feel like a million bucks. The staff we also really friendly which I always find sets the tone when you arrive into any fitness studio. The bathrooms and changing area although smaller are fitted out with everything you could need to get ready including razors to shave.

What an odd morning my Saturday trip to Powerflex Studio made for. I had no idea what to expect. It…read moreis one of those odd gimmicky fitness things that is there, so I must try. Powerflex uses powerplate machines, TRX, kettlebells, and weights to get you into shape. Powerplate machines look like the lovechild between an elliptical and a giant, flat boulder. The main premise is that you stand, plank, step, or lean on the machine while it vibrates really quickly, making your muscles work extra to keep you stabilized. I'm uncoordinated and can tell you that you have no major risk of falling off, at least no more so than on a regular gym machine (I've done it before). The studio itself is somewhat difficult to find. Once you find the door, you need to be buzzed up. The room is small but full of really all the equipment you need to get a great workout. There are only three powerplate machines in there, I believe. I am not sure what the typical sessions look like, but mine was just with one other person and a trainer. It's amazing to get personalized attention and the trainer was friendly and really gave me a great workout. It wasn't the highest intensity cardio, but you will sweat and more weight work can be added to up your burn. I was surprisingly sore the day after, so I'd believe that the whole stabilizing concept works on some level. There was a man there who was rehabbing from an injury who has found it a really great alternative to running or other higher intensity exercise. Definitely check it out if you're looking for something different.

I have been a member of PowerFlex studios since June 2016 and I am totally hooked up to it…read more Excellent and very convenient location just next to London Victoria Station. Great intense full body work out that shows clear results. You can make it as hard or as light as you chose. Instructors pay personalized attention to each of us and they will adapt the exercises to your weak/strong points and your passed injuries. After your first session your body will likely be on pain for 2-3 days, but do not let that put you off. It means it really works and very soon your body will get used and you won't get sore muscles. It is only up to 3 people per session (on some special sessions it may be 4 people). You get very personalized attention by the instructors, who are great, very friendly people. Many of us are regulars, so it feels very familiar. It is really good and worthy, I cannot recommend Power Flex Studios and it's trainers enough.
