The Flex List: Our favourite fitness
spots on the Flex scene

FEATURES / 24 JUNE 2024

There’s no doubt Fitness is becoming a competitive battleground for providers, with gym and wellness studios no longer spaces to desire, but more so, amenities to demand. We’ve rounded up some of the best spots, where flexible workers are squeezing in a midday workout.


Fora - Chancery House


Step into Chancery House Gym, the crown jewel of fitness sanctuaries where even the dumbbells are top-notch. Lest we forget the incredible pilates set up and personal trainer sessions on tap. We particularly love how the neutral colour palette creates a serene vibe. It’s not just a workout; it’s a rendezvous with tranquillity and focus. 


Alternatively, if you find yourself in the Victoria area and fancy a sparring session, why not use the Eccleston Square boxing ring?

The Ministry - Borough


Gym or nightclub? Welcome to one of London’s coolest gyms where The Ministry of Sound pulses through its very DNA, making it the ultimate workout theme. You’ll find a dark, moody ambiance, brought to life with striking ceiling LED lights, perfect for workers escaping the hustle and bustle and zoning into a workout. 

General People - Sierra Quebec Bravo, Canary Wharf


Where do we begin? You have the choice of peloton bikes, yoga mats, but for us pilates-lovers it’s the reformers that really steals the show. Safe to say, you can cancel your regular gym memberships, SQB have got you covered.

Link Spaces - Bottanica, Ditton Park, Slough

Not a fellow spin-ster? Head over to the yoga studio for a more calming lunch break sweat.

Orega - The Colemore Building, Birmingham


If we could magic a dream gym membership to escape the grind, it would undoubtedly be Orega’s state of the art facility in Birmingham.
