Time Out's recent feature on London's 50 best gyms and fitness centres includes mostly independent studios offering a wide array of exercise options, so as January ends, there's no excuse. Your options in the City, Canary Wharf and Mayfair below.
We couldn't help but notice that the list doesn't include a single Virgin Active location. Is now the right time to say that we miss you, Holmes Place?
The City
Aegis Personal Training
Not far from Liverpool Street station is this 3,000 square foot gym where you pay by session, not by membership.
£60-£90/hour
Integra Training
In the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane is this small space dedicated to an integrated, holistic approach to training.
£60/hour (£45/hour for two people or more)
Canary Wharf
John Ding Academy
This Limehouse establishment offers Yai Chi/Chi Kung, Pilates, and yoga, founded by a master who, according to the magazine, "can trace his lineage back six generations to Yang Lu-ch'an".
From £10/class
Reebok Sports Club
Also voted the Most Luxurious health club, this Canada Square temple is chic and fabulous, and offers are large range of activities and classes.
£55-£99/month for membership
Mayfair
The Third Space
Piccadilly Circus's Third Space offers the list's Most State-of-the-Art Facilities, with table tennis above the pool (tennis skirts optional), high-altitude training, and the requisite Pilates and Gytronic studios - and a live DJ most days of the week.
£30-£118/month for membership
Danceworks
Don't let the name scare you off, Mayfair hedge fund men. This Bond Street studio offers the largest selection of classes in Europe, and plenty of them are masculine enough for you (martial arts, total body conditioning). Others (Bollywood grooves, pole-dancing), maybe not.
£40/month or £5/day for membership plus varying rates for classes
