We caught up with Lilly Sabri, the YouTube fitness sensation known for her high energy, good vibes, and at-home-workouts. During 2020 Lilly’s online following rose from 30,000 to 4 million, leading to the launch of her own app, where subscribers can access workouts, healthy recipes and now her own line of health-based supplements. We talk…

If you’d like to know where every fitness professional you follow on Instagram is going to be this weekend, then look no further. Originally planned to be hosted in Lisbon, the International Fitness Summit has been moved to London amidst the travel restrictions and we’re not at all mad about it. The IFS offers an…

How do you fancy an AMRAP in your WOD? What if we throw in a few snatches, double unders and muscle ups for good measure? CrossFit can be a daunting language to speak, never mind the workout itself. So we headed to CrossFit Putney for an introduction to this cult classic to see what the…

When she’s not working on her triple jump, you can find London’s favourite Norwegian PT, coach and athlete Maiken Brustad, mixing it up with weights sessions in the gym. She’ll give you a killer workout and promises to ‘blast your ears off’ with banging house music playlists while you sweat. Can’t argue with that.  Tell…

A 16ft custom made boxing ring? In Knightsbridge? Sign us up. We headed to BoxCentric for a 1:1 session on the pads with CEO and former European boxing champion Cathy Brown, as well as a sneak peek around the state-of-the-art facilities. What’s the story? Created and led by experts in fitness and nutrition, BoxCentric’s mission…

The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster. After months of waiting patiently for the world to re-open, it feels like it’s all happening at once. We’re finally reunited with our ‘gym friends’ and booking into classes at the crack of dawn. But we’re also trying out new restaurants, paying our dues to old pubs…

Fitness classes are back and so are our favourite trainers! We caught up with the new kid on the block at The Foundry, Rory McCall, to hear more about his sunrise cycles, playing Pop Smoke on repeat and his new favourite spots in East London… Tell us about your morning routine. My schedule changes day…

We can hardly believe it ourselves, but the time has finally arrived. After months of virtual workouts, flitting motivation and going it alone, group fitness classes are back! No more throwing on yesterday’s sweatpants 30 seconds before clicking into our Zoom class, or doing yoga in our pyjamas with the camera resolutely off. (Just us?)…

In the week that some of us ventured back to the gym, we caught up with Corinne Naomi (online PT, Programme Manager and Trainer at Fiit) to get an insight into her trusted home workout routine, the number one track on her playlist and what’s top of her to-do list now that London is getting…

We’ve just marked our one-year anniversary of lockdown. For many of us that has not only meant one year of WFH, but also one year of WOFH… working out from home. With a provisional date for gyms re-opening, the days getting longer and the sun FINALLY starting to appear, we’re feeling ready to up the…

Ever wondered what gives your personal trainer that extra spring in their step at the crack of dawn? Or what song keeps them going through those final few reps? Well we caught up with Matteo Massaini (online PT and trainer at Rowbots & Blok London) to get the juicy deets... Tell us about your morning…

Perhaps it was the novelty factor, or maybe the sheer boredom, but we seem to remember that finding the motivation to workout was a lot easier to come by in previous lockdowns. Last March we were hopping on to Instagram live classes like an influencer getting on a plane to Dubai. We bicep curled bottles…
