London’s best new fitness classes for autumn

Cardio & strength

StrongHer

StrongHer, located in Bethnal Green, is a women-only gym with a great ethos. It was set up to provide an inclusive and unintimidating space for women to get strong, sculpted and understand their bodies. Classes range from weight training techniques to fierce fat-burning HIIT sessions. Don’t miss out on the intro offer (three classes for £20).

Barry’s Soho

Barry’s has opened its seventh London studio a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus in Kingly Street with an exclusive workout concept called LIFT. The small group strength-based class focuses on lifting heavy dumbells – there’s not a treadmill in sight – to build muscle mass. £23 for a single class or first-timers can get three classes for £50.

Want to work hard but go easy on the joints? Frame has a new class launching called Bounce and Burn. It combines 25-minutes of fast-paced cardio on a rebounder trampoline, with 15 minutes of conditioning work targeting your ass and abs using bands and weights. All classes (excluding reformer and group PT) are currently £10.

Roar Fitness

Roar Fitness, founded by Olympian Sarah Lindsay, has unveiled a sleek gym and cafe in High Street Kensington. The brand is famous for its jaw-dropping body transformations and alongside personal training will for the first time introduce group training classes. It is also releasing an online streaming service later this year.

Sweat by BXR

Sweat by BXR has two new concepts coming this month. Performance HR is a heart rate monitored climbing-based class focused on endurance, while Pilates TRX is a dynamic session designed to improve overall body balance and strength. Both classes will be available at Sweat by BXR Marylebone, with Performance HR also available at the Canary Wharf site.
