Just when you thought London’s fitness scene was nearing saturation point, along come three brand new studios to shake things up a little. From an immersive cycle concept with sound, visuals and sunlight simulation, a studio dedicated to rowing (some say it’s the new spinning), to a gym focussed on strengthening your mindset…
FIRST LIGHT
Westfield London | Opening September 2018
A new immersive indoor cycling fitness journey is coming to West London. You’ll be working out in a darkened room, your senses heightened and focused on the task. Your indoor cycling ‘Maestro’ instructors will use the atmosphere to bring you together with your class in a synchronised community with focused energy. These immersive indoor cycling classes are not your conventional gym style workouts. First Light use sound, visuals and sunlight simulation that reflect the energy demands of each class. They give extra motivation when it’s needed and help you power down when you need to rest. The result? You’ll release stress-busting, feel-good endorphins that boost your ‘happy’.
