I found RINGTONE, a boutique boxing a fitness gym, walking down Drummond St. and was willing to try something new. I went to their 19:00 mixed class and loved it! The place had a great atmosphere, buzzing with positive vibes. I met Ben and Scott (owners/trainers) and were extremely welcoming and patient with my inexperience. The two lads have a great personality. Training with gloves on is different in that your learning rather than just running on a treadmill. I enjoyed that it challenged me to engage my brain as well as my body. Had a great feeling of acomplishment after the 1 hour class and will be back tomorrow. Cheers, "Will the Thrill"

I have been to the girls class on wednesdays a couple of times, they also have a mix class on mon and wed that seam a bit harder and more advanced.. Will have to go soon :)) Its not like the wimpy boxercises that they have In the gyms this is propper boxing tips and you will learn how to punch, and tweek your teknick as you go.. No two times i have been there we have done the same so you will never get bored.. Also its an amazing atmosfair that makes you give the little more effort into it so you will get a great workout and feel absolutley exhausted when finished. I have just joined as a member now and will start going even without the classes as i have been propper bitten by the boxing bug, its seriously good exercise and so fun at the same time, dont notice how hard and intensed your working before your so tired you cant possible move or speak :)) love it!! And the 2 guys thats running the place are brilliant and amazingly good at what they do.. So very worth a try!!!! You will be sold within 1 class im sure :))

Well, MY OH MY, Urban Kings' is all of that and SO MUCH MORE! Everyone at the gym is incredibly nice and encouraging. At first, as the unethused girl feeling a little too snug in a pair of (now known to be see through!!)* lulu lemon capris, I was a little apprehensive to be outnumbered by a bunch of expertly trained martial artists in an evening conditioning class. However, towards the end of the class- it was clear that we were all in it together. After being cheered on to plunder through my first real push-up (I can do 15 in a row now!) I was just as encouraging to the bulky man with tribal tattooed to just push through that last round of burpees. I went home sore and SUPER sweaty- but I definitely wanted more, which was almost confusing? because the class was hard.. like 'sore for two days after hard'... or, like 'my mascara runs down my face from sweat' hard! Nonetheless, this isn't a gym to parade around in expensive workout clothes NOR a massive dizzying arena filled with enough random equipment to make your head explode. I've been a part of both and I am happy to say that Urban Kings is the type of gym I've been looking for all along. I come to workout (that IS THE POINT right?!) and get results. I've seen my strength and stamina increase tenfold and I actually look forward to my workouts. I mean, I guess it's worth mentioning the added bonuses which include an incredible staff (it just feels like family, ya know?), a wonderful locker room, beyond amazing classes for every type of fitness enthusiast, and a great smoothie bar!

Years, well you can imagine rusty would be a understatement, but the boxing coach in the class worked me out worked on my technique and I really really enjoyed the session, so I joined. Come see some of the experts down here, they make you feel so welcome no matter what level you are. If normal gyms don't really cut it for you and you lose interest in a couple of months this is the place for you, it very clean very modern and like a big family. Try it for your self.

The servers passed us by several times, which is fine, we can certainly order at the bar. The scene at the bar was chaotic with no clear order on who would get their order taken. It was an impressive cocktail list. Each drink takes a bit to build which leads to some long wait times. If you appreciate a well-made cocktail, you won't be disappointed as long as you are prepared to wait for it. I'm glad we tried it. We had a good time, but I don't know if we need to go back. There are some better options in the area.

The décor is worn out and old, but remembering you are here to train and not hold a dinner party you can focus on the tuition. The classes are taught by an ex boxing champion and you can tell by his in-depth knowledge of the boxing profession. These sessions are not for wannabe champions but for those who want to get fit and get fit quickly. Boxing is a fantastic way to do this. You practice all the punches on bags and pads and don't lay a finger on one another, so don't worry about getting hurt. Boxing London is a fantastic class that gets you fit, builds confidence and gives you a pair of guns to be proud of. Great class for men and women.

It can be quite nerve racking when you first enter a gym like this, but after meeting Enzo (the owner) he will make you feel right at home. There's no heating or air conditioning, just the heat of people boxing to warm the place up, and windows to call the place down. The lights flicker from people running about and punching bags. It's definitely not a place for time wasters, just for people who want to get fit fast and learn the art of boxing. If you want to go past the boxercise side of things you can enter the ring and learn to box properly from excellent coaches. If your a beginner then go on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or at the weekend. Wednesday and Friday are more hardcore. Give Enzo a call and he will make you feel welcome. Anyone is welcome here! Yes boy

The Covent Garden branch of Nuffield Health is just one of those places and it's a truly special gym. The gym is on three levels. The first level has what appears to be offices and a dedicated spin studio, the next has the smaller studio, free weights area and changing rooms and right on the bottom is where the main gym floor lies along with another (slightly larger) studio and the pool/spa area. Yes this gym has its own spa - more on this soon! There is a lot of equipment for you to choose from so it's unlikely that you'll ever have to wait for a bike or a running machine if that takes your fancy. Personally I prefer trying out different classes and was able to squeeze in a pilates one during one of my two visits. There's no need to book and all classes are included in the cost of your membership so there's no extra cost for these either which is great. But the real pull for me is the pool and spa area. I don't know of any other gym in the area with such great facilities. Sure the pool is a little on the small side but it's never over crowded and you won't find it full of children like the LA Fitness one. The sauna and steam room are also a great size and perfect for unwinding after a hard session as is the jacuzzi pool where I spent far too much time floating around in.
