It’s 2019. Going to the gym doesn’t have to be a chore anymore. Forget the days of slimy old leisure centres, with ancient equipment and a distinct smell of stale sweat lingering in every room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Time Out<\/a> finding that millennials are four times more likely to hit the gym than the club in an average week, it’s no surprise that modern gyms have upped the ante. London’s gyms are dynamic, colourful, state-of-the-art and inspiring: think live DJs accompanying your spin class, dedicated personal trainers, and great equipment for training every muscle group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many also include amazing facilities like smoothie bars, lounge areas and healthy cafes, and a wide range of classes too: perfect to bring your flatmate along to for a bonding sesh<\/a> or some extra motivation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though some of London’s high-class luxury gyms have memberships costing hundreds of pounds a month<\/a>, we’ve found a bunch of awesome gyms that won’t break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gym<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BLOK London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BLOK have two locations in London – Clapton and Shoreditch. Describing themselves as “where award-winning boutique fitness meets art, design and fashion,” at BLOK you’ll find over 30 different types of classes from balletfit to boxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is a class-only gym, the wide range of sessions led by specialist trainers means you’re guaranteed a decent workout, and you can book class packs, monthly memberships, or just pay per session at a really reasonable price for the calibre of workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Refinery E9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Refinery doesn’t take itself too seriously. This gym recognises the importance of having fun while exercising, and prioritises a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. There are four fitness studios and two therapy rooms, so you can complement your workouts with holistic therapies to “nourish your mind, body and soul.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior design is beautiful, and the fun vibes are everywhere from their 80s aerobics and beach barre classes, to ‘Sexy Saturdays – Core and More’. If you’re after a more mindful, flowing workout, why not try the Vinyasa Flow Power Hour or Weekend Warrior Detox Yoga sessions? With classes starting from \u00a35 for new starters, The Refinery is a great place to bring your flatmates for a health kick and to get the endorphins flowing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GymBox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GymBox claim to be home to the most unique and diverse classes in London – and with facilities like Olympic-size boxing rings, combat cages, world-class free weights sections and Olympic lifting facilities, resident DJs and dance studios, it’s hard to deny. You can get membership on a pay-as-you-go basis up to an 18-month commitment, and with the wide variety of workout options across 11 locations in London, you’ll never get bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GymBox is the epitome of a cool gym. Their interior looks more like a trendy bar than a workout space, but that’s the point. It’s a place “where working out is as fun as going out,” and a perfect way to spend a Friday night with your flatmates and avoid a Saturday morning hangover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
