Luxury Gyms in London

There are many fun ways to stay fit in London, from rollerblading through Hyde Park to swimming in the open air at Brockwell Lido. But if you're the type of person who is motivated by having a professional trainer or you simply prefer to shed a few pounds in enclosed comfort, there is a fantastic selection of gymnasiums to choose from.

And when we say gymnasiums, we don't mean a few treadmills strewn across a cold school hall. Most gyms today are complete health emporiums that cater to their members' every need, with bespoke personal training, classes, beauty salons and juice bars. Pick up a day pass and sample them for yourself.
