I have been training for years and my workouts can occasionally get stale. I do an open Industrial Strength Class and I leave pumped, feeling awesome and full of new techniques. You can be doing anything from fluidity and flow exercises, kettlebell conditioning, strength circuits, mobility, sandbags, heavy bag, tyre and sledgehammer, towing ropes, bands etc etc... What is great about the session is that the majority of people there are athletes in some form or other. This keeps the sessions intense, engaging and you are pushed to the limit. Whether Jon is leading the group or we are all adding to the circuit, not a single class has let me down. It really doesn't matter if you are a martial artist, power lifter or gymnast, the way the sessions go means everyone can take something from it. For a truly inspiring workout, in a great studio that has EVERYTHING you need to push beyond what you thought you could, you have to try out Balance. Oh I should mention, the Industrial Strength class costs an incredible £3. Wow!

I have to admit that I was actually heading for Lowry & Baker a few doors down on Portobello Road…read morewhen I noticed a tempting display of fresh breads in the window of Urban Bliss. As there were no seats left at L&B I decided to give this latest addition a try. Apparently, this was their very first day of trading at Urban Bliss (a lovely spa and treatment centre). I also didn't know that Crazy Baker has its main home just up the road in Kensal Green where all the breads and cakes are baked on site. They offer quite a substantial menu of hot dishes and sandwiches. The tomato & basil soup sounded tempting and didn't disappoint. I was offered a choice of breads and went for toasted spelt which went really well. A free mini pastry to celebrate their first day was a nice touch. The atmosphere does not match that of the aforementioned competition, but there is probably room for two cafes on this increasingly popular stretch of Portobello Raod. I will definitely come back for some bread to take home, and perhaps the odd lunch.

I had to ask him to leave multiple times so I could get dressed.

I knew that my body had to go through a lot and pre-booked a deep tissue massage session with Massaggi for after the run. I am so glad I had the massage, one hour did not seem a lot but turned out to be just enough to release most of my muscle aches and pain and strains through compression and stretching techniques to muscles and connective tissues. I recommend all athletes to come and see one of the therapists specialized in deep tissue or sports massage and get a faster recovery.

And when it ended 30 minutes early, it was almost a relief. Better to have not gotten a massage at all than one that was disappointing like this one. My back still hurts. Other notes: office is unmarked. There's no receptionist, so if you want to check in or whatever, I still have no idea where you'd go. I'm glad some people like this place, but it's not for me.

I'm normally an avid runner and did my first ultra marathon last year, so I'm used to having my legs worked on. My usual therapist works on high level athletes (as well as 50yr olds like me) and I was impressed with how similar John's approach and technique was to hers. Unfortunately, he was only able to squeeze me in for a 1/2 hr and it was right before we left to return home. However, I wouldn't hesitate to call on John again. If I lived in London, I'd see him regularly. For reference, this is my usual therapist's office http://www.yelp.com/biz/sports-medicine-institute-palo-alto#query:sports%20medicine%20massage
