Disco Yoga is all about combining fitness with fun, at venues in both Peckham and the West End. Enjoy all the best disco beats from live DJs while the talented instructors take you through poses - which are suitable for beginners and experts alike. You'll enjoy a free glass of prosecco after the one-hour class, or you can even attend their brunch sessions for full English breakfast afterwards - with veggie options available too.
Fronting over 100 different climbing routes and one-on-one tutorials, Substation Brixton is the ideal place to get your fitness fix. If that wasn't enough, the venue has a treatment room, a cafe and a fitness studio - fab for weekend workouts.
Trying to find a way to get fit in the city? Then Ride Republic is the workout for you. Make your way to the Fulham venue, where you'll be taken into a club-like setting with dark lights for a 45-minute spin class. Better yet, you'll race one another to achieve the highest score.
Firmdale Hotels are a must-visit for all you fitness fiends. Head to the lush Haymarket Hotel for a full-body workout in their cool subterranean pool with a mega light installation, or make your way up to a rooftop for yoga. Afterwards, you'll get to refuel with a tasty spread too, as each event includes brunch.
One of the quirkiest yoga classes is back with a series of high-octane stretching sessions this year. Join them for hours dedicated to their truly unique brand of workouts complete with an incredible dance music soundtrack.
Searching for fun ways to get fit? Enjoy panoramic views of the city while surrounded by luscious greenery. You'll get to experience a 1-hour yoga, pilates, or meditation session in Sky Garden, one of London's most iconic spots.
