There isn't much room either to spar with the hanging bags. I took another class and the instructor was texting on his phone a lot. There are not enough MT beginner classes offered here since they just throw everyone into one giant Muay Thai pool. I found another spot that was better.

Recall the scene in the film Fight Club, where they hurl abuse at new recruits to test their dedication. I imagine that's what the instructor here believes is happening in his head, minus any charisma. There are better options in the same area: Fight City Gym further down the same road, for example.

After having some travel issues I arrived at 7:17 for the 7:15 class, I got there as the class was…read moregetting underway so I waited on the side to not disturb it as I was at fault. After about 10mins the instructor came over and asked me to take a seat and wait while he got class underway and thought about what to do. I then proceeded to wait the length of the class with no interaction. While I was waiting a regular student arrived and joined in. The class ended and I thought this would be my chance to explain and chat to the instructor. Unfortunately not after walking around for a couple of minutes the instructor proceeded to call over a purple belt to roll. So after waiting over an hour I took this as my cue to leave. The gym looked good and the class looked intense with students being yelled at to get into better positions or do burpees/push ups if they lost positions in the specific sparring. But the encounter left me feeling very underwhelmed and I won't be back.

If you are looking for a top-notch Taekwondo academy, look no further. I started training at Bozdag…read moreTaekwondo about four years ago to enhance my mobility and fitness levels. I have never met someone more passionate (and patient!) and inspirational than Seyit Bozdag. He is truly dedicated to his work and invests in every one of his students. I have made significant progress in both mobility and overall fitness and recently got my black belt! I'm not sure if I would have gone this far in any other club, and it comes down to Seyit. I can't recommend Bozdag Taekwondo highly enough!

Being located in the basement of the Grange City Hotel, the only thing letting this health club…read moredown is the lack of natural light, but it is so wonderful that you can forgive them. The pool is phenomenal. It's half-Olympic length and decorated with beautiful tiles. The lighting is subdued and it's cut into three lanes so you can pick and choose how vigorous a swim you want. In addition to the sauna and steam rooms, there is an aromatherapy room where you can unwind and forget about the stresses of your day. The equipment is first-rate and best of all you never have to wait while other people finish their workouts before you can jump on the bike/treadmill/etc. This is great if you're nipping in for a workout during your lunch break. They have some new equipment, Hypoxi systems, one of which looks like an instrument of torture and one which makes you look like you've just completed a moon landing but they are supposed to be guaranteed to show great results. The instrument of torture is a bike within a box and you need to wear a special suit while working out. This one targets your bum and thighs, while the other system involves a treadmill workout while wearing the special suit with pipes running off somewhere else, concentrating on your tummy area. I don't really understand the science but the vacuum created by the suit/equipment is supposed to speed up weight loss and toning. I would love to see if it works for the baby fat I haven't managed to lose from my tummy, but at £595 for 10 sessions it's a bit out of my price range. It's not cheap - individual membership is £72 a month, but it's so far above and beyond the likes of LA Fitness or Fitness First that you can justify the additional £15 or so a month for a central London health club.
