A wise man once said: “No pleasure endures unseasoned by variety”. The same goes for your workouts. Keep them varied and spontaneous and they will be a constant source of pleasure – not a chore to be endured.
If you’re someone who pays a monthly gym membership on top of class packs “to keep things interesting”, you might want to consider MoveGB. A multi-venue membership with access to 1000’s of activities around London; from rock climbing and yoga to a good old fashioned gym session.

Step 3: Share your itinerary with friends and get moving!
