Amazing little Hot Bikram Yoag studio that offers a range of classes and an introductory offer (20…read moredays for £35). Tucked away in the center of Balham the studio is also very easy to get to. I've been coming to this studio for about three years and haven't found another that beats it! They've recently had a refurbishment so the changing rooms/toilets/reception area now look very modern and fresh. They have a lot of great teachers and the staff are always friendly. The room is pretty well ventilated but the heat/humidity will vary depending on how many people are in the class. You might get a bit of fresh air if the teacher decides to open the back door for a few seconds! There are mirrors at the front and right hand side of the class so that everyone can work on their posture - which is also pretty useful for newcomers as they can easily follow the more experienced students. If you haven't tried it before - give it a go! The hardest part is staying in the room for the first time but an enjoyable challenge - enjoy!

Sweaty yoga, mmm lovely. I actually enjoyed this class a lot more than I thought I would. I hate…read morehumidity and my rubbish Celtic skin burns at the first sight of sun (good job I live in London, eh?) so I've never been particularly good with heat in general but I actually adored these classes. I have never felt so relaxed in all my life and was mesmerised by the fact that it is so hot in here you sweat from places you never knew you could sweat from..."oh look at that my hand is sweating!" This studio, however, has lost out on two of my beautiful stars for one BIG reason: the changing facilities. Seeing as they fit about 75 people into a class - predominantly women - they really should be looking into larger changing facilities to accommodate everyone. At £13 a class (it may have even gone up by now) it's really not on to then cram all of us into the cupboard-sized changing room, all lovely and sweaty from our class, clambering over one another to find our belongings and get showered and changed...this is all starting to sound a bit wrong. I don't want to get all zenned-out and calm only to then have someone's sweaty armpit (or worse) in my face while I try and dig my belongings out and get changed in a room that is perhaps hotter than the one I have just done a Bikram class in. It does nothing for my relaxation and I may as well have just got on the baking Victoria Line during rush hour - just as hot and just as stressful! I actually took these classes on a £10 for 10 days offer but was reluctant to sign up afterwards for the full whack because of the changing situation. Perhaps if I was able to go during the day when it might be less busy I may be inclined to join as a full paying member. Such a shame.

I never thought I would like pilates. For some reason, I imagined it like yoga but without all the good parts, but it's actually quite dynamic and not like soul-less yoga at all. The studio offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced Reformer classes, their own spin on HIIT called TenHIIT, personal training, as well as massage. I've tried the Beginner Reformer class and TenHIIT. Reformer was was an hour long, small group: only about 4 people in the class, but I still would have liked a little more personal instruction. TenHIIT was an even smaller group: only 2, me and one other girl, in the class. Our instructor tortured us with a variety of strength and cardio circuits: weights, squats, lunges, jumping jacks... repeat x4 then onto treadmill sprints, TRX arms, burpees, plank... it was 45 mins of *tough*. Really, it's just like having a personal training session but on Classpass. The showers look nice (I showered at home before work) and there's towel service, which is convenient. 4 stars for small classes, great value, and variety from targeted Reformer for newbies like me to kill-me-now personal training sessions.

Got to admit - I was kind of nervous for my first class and wasn't entirely sure what to expect but I came out feeling amazing. My alignment and posture has improved massively since starting these classes. The beginners class moves nice and slow to get you used to using the reformer. Do advance to the intermediate when you are ready to keep challenging yourself though. The studio is gorgeous and have 5 other locations around London. Each just as lovely!!

I'd love to be, but I'm basically the complete opposite. I love food & wine too much (and it shows), so one day I made a pact with myself: join StudioOne, go to class regularly, eat & drink good stuff 80% of the week and for the other 20% of the week, my reward is to have that wine. (Or the Dead Hippie from MeatLiquor. Or that gorgeous Spaghetti Vongole from Antonio's. You get the drift.) StudioOne had a trial during their opening month so I went to different classes and eventually fell in love with Reformer Pilates. It's challenging, works the entire body and you will feel and see results in a relatively short period of time if you go a few times a week. THE LOW-DOWN: + plenty of Yoga, Reformer Pilates, Boxing, Barre, Cardio classes to choose from + most classes are for ANY fitness level + they offer full memberships, half memberships, off-peak memberships, pay as you go and special packages + full memberships can be canceled any time - no "you sign your life away for a year" nonsense + FANTASTIC teachers who know their stuff + small, intimate classes (never more than 6-8 people, for Reformer it's max. 4 people) so teachers are able to focus on everyone individually + no awkwardness/judging/uncomfortable feeling in any class - everyone, no matter what fitness level, shape or size is made feel welcome and taken care of + clean, modern, chic interior + super friendly staff + convenient location only a short walk from Kings Cross In short: great new studio with owners & teachers who are passionate about what they do and are committed to making fitness accessible to everyone.

I regularly attend their yoga and meditation classes and it really is changing my life! Lol. All of the teachers I've worked with have been great - they each have their own style of teaching, obviously, but I've never been to a class that I didn't enjoy. The same people tend to come back to classes, so there is a great sense of community. Also, they have an app that you can use to buy passes and book classes, which makes it super easy. They also organise yoga retreats...I'll be going with them to Zambia in a few months and can't wait!! Why haven't you signed up for a class yet?!

There best offer is £100 per month for unlimited walk-in classes. If you do want to just PAYG classes range from £7-£12 which is cheaper than most schools.

She founded the place quite a few years ago now, and is one of the most down-to-earth teachers i've had the pleasure to learn from. her style is of the desikachar/krishnamacharya variety, which means that the focus here is on exploration for individual needs. alongside beautiful postural awareness, the classes introduce more than just the physical side of the yoga coin, tara also manages to drop in all manner of theory/philosophy without ever coming across as worthy or detatched. alongside weekly classes and workshops, she also teaches the BWY (british wheel of yoga) teacher training course.
