I have recently joined this women only gym as I have 2 children and it has a (rare) kids corner for me to bring my youngest who can play and still see me while I work out and the 30 min exercise routine appealed to me.

I am 27 and ashamed to say have never exercised before (I thought pushing a pram or swing was exercise)!!

My induction was great they weighed me took my blood pressure etc while I stood on the beautiful under heated floors not wanting to drag myself out to the scary looking equipment! I was shown how to use every machine correctly (they are not so scary now) and shown cardio to do in between stations to keep my heart rate up.
They have funky music (which a pre-recoded voice will tell you over it to move on to the next station so you know when to move on).

The changing rooms are fab, clean with lovely showers and hairdryers and hair straighteners free of charge. The staff are friendly and will help you if needed. I didn't appreciate how nice the gym was and how comfortable I felt there till I took my daughter swimming lessons and had to sit on the side near their sports gym and realised if I had signed up for that gym I would never go as it just didn't appeal to me, as it happens I have gone from never having done a days exercise to attending nearly everyday!

I start powerplate classes on Wednesday and am really excited, something I thought I would NEVER say!I have recently joined this women only gym as I have 2 children and it has a (rare) kids corner for me to bring my youngest who can play and still see me while I work out and the 30 min exercise routine appealed to me.

I've been training with Dax Moy's personal training team in Islington, London for nearly 4 months now and can tell you that they're without a doubt the best personal trainers around.

I've lost over 30lbs already and the inches are still coming off.

Can't speak highly enough of them.

Thanks guys!

Had private classes here to treat my bad back but ended up making it worse. Not good. Nice studio though if that is what you are looking for.Had private classes here to treat my bad back but ended up making it worse. Not good. Nice studio though if that is what you are looking for.
