    Spikes & Heels Class Success!

    Thursday, May 16, 2013

    Wednesday night saw the inaugural Spikes & Heels class hit Gymbox in Farringdon and what a class it was! The incredibly badass Pavlina Golds headed up the session with an intense workout that burned from the get go. This was a taster class to see how people would respond to it. If they liked it, [...]

Pilates at The Third Space

I started doing Pilates in 2005. I had a great teacher who really challenged me. As I moved around the world, Pilates was something I could practice at home, all I needed was a Yoga mat and I was good to go. Learning Pilates though has so much to do with the teacher. You get [...]

Stella Talks Adidas

Last week, I was invited down to the Stella McCartney store in Chelsea to meet the lady herself and discuss her new season collection for Adidas. Full disclosure – I’m a bit of a Stella fan girl. Her Spring/Summer 01 collection for Chloe is still one of my favourites, so I was a little giddy [...]

Style: Sneaker Crowns

One of the frustrating things about fitness gear (though I think we have it much better than we used to) is that it can be difficult to find a way to express your personal style in a sea of lycra and practicality. I know I, like many of my active sisters in arms, are constantly [...]

Review: Altitude Centre

The more I get into fitness, the more I am fascinated by the more science-y part of what is actually going on with my body. For me, the more I push my body and my training, the more important it is for me to understand exactly what is going on and be able to pin [...]

Review: Swedish Fit

Statistically, women are more likely to work out if they can do so with a friend. For some, running or cycling endless miles or lifting weights alone can be tedious and some really need the extra motivation a fitness buddy might bring. To this end, finding a good group fitness class is a great way [...]
