Choose between one of their 4 class concepts; spin, box, barre and stretch. This studio has a huge variety of classes, if you are after some ‘dirty fun’ with epic music head to a spin class, or if you want something more PG then the barre class might be more your bag. Whichever you go for, make sure you bring your pooch. With a name like that, you bet they’ll look after your furry friend whilst you get your sweat on.
Fight City Gym

Reform
3 Hildreth Street Mews, SW12 9RZ
Though this reformer pilates studio is small, it sure it mighty.
