On saturday mornings at 0915 I go to a Total Body Conditioning class where the trainer is reknowned for his, er, motivating shouts. Each week he asks if it’s anyone’s first class, and pull them to one side to explain his techniques, the moves, and the fact that he shouts. In my first class, I […]
I’m always on the lookout for new workouts in London, so when my friend (and desk mate at work!) recommended Core Collective in Holland Park I was all ears (especially when he showed me a picture of James, our future trainer, on instagram..). We chose the Velocity class to go to together, and took another […]
As well as our running club, BOOMCycle and Rumble at 1Rebel, the Be:Fit team also sorted us girls out with a free session at Barry’s Bootcamp in Moorgate which I was so excited about because I’d wanted to try it for so long but didn’t want to hate it and feel like I’d wasted money! […]
Another class I got to try with my girl friends from Be:FIT was Rumble at 1Rebel, a boxing and HIIT class at their studio at Broadgate Circle.

As part of my new gym routine, I do an hour’s Step class on wednesday evenings. I was trying to fit some kind of activity into every day, and the only class I could make it to after work that day was Step, so I thought I’d give it a go. When I first signed […]
I wear the same three pieces of jewellery every single day – with only my earrings changing depending on my mood, outfit, or how easy it is for my boyfriend to play with them (seriously though, if you don’t get your significant other to mess about with your ears whilst you curl up and watch […]
Every tuesday I run around south west London with a group of girls at a running club set up by The Telegraph as part of the Be:Fit London expo campaign. Along with the runs, they also put on fitness pop-ups in the run up to the three day festival, one of which took place at […]
After five months of moving house, birthdays, christmas and getting lazy, fatter and more unfit, it’s time to get back to the gym and back to Cake Upton! At the end of October my boyfriend and I started to dedicate more time to our real lives and less time to our gym lives, (quite rightly) […]
