Gym'ing and keeping fit.....

[NualaGinty]

Hello,

I am looking for some advise around the gyms in ED. I am more of a class lady so would love to get recommendations for the gym with good dance, zumba, aerobic classes.

I would love to know about any running clubs that people may know about...and if there are any reasonably priced PT's in the area...

Thanks

Nuala

If you want to go running with a group then I would recomend parkrun, every Saturday at 9am at a number of local parks including Peckham Rye, Dulwich and Brockwell.

Just register for a barcode and go from there

I found Martin Fregis of On This Fitness to be very accomodating and well priced as a PT http://www.onthisfitness.co.uk/

There's a thread of reviews here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1143431,1237406#msg-1237406

Dulwich Leisure Centre on Crystal Palace Road is great value,has large gym, swimming pool and extensive class timetable.

Also, highly recommend Lauren Whitby who is a pt and runs a brilliant Women's Boor Camp in Dulwich Park (and other locations) www.bodyfittrainingsolutions.com

Hi there,

I saw your post regarding Zumba classes etc. Just wanted to let you know I run several women only boxing classes a week. The classes are non contact just circuits, pad work , bag work, and proper boxing technique. I've trained in boxing and Thai boxing for almost 18 years and fought for 2 British titles. And although my classes are super fun .... They are not Boxercise lol.

I also do group PT sessions where a small group of ladies chip in ?15 towards a PT session making it more affordable all round.

Feel free to check out my Facebook page to see video clips and photos of my classes.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Hi I would recommend patrice' Urban Fit and fearless on Bellenden Road on a wednesday

[www.urbanfitandfearless.com]

it is a self defence class but with a lot of fitness exercise - I got fitter than I have ever been before the first class is free.

I would also recommend Community Circuits in Herne Hill and

[www.communitycircuits.com]The classes are only ?10 each or ?72 for ten (currently) and the first is free. The instructors are friendly and helpful and very welcoming and there is a really good mixture of people in each class - not many people are stereotype lycra bunnies so it is not intimidating!

Also Tom Lynas' Metafit classes on East Dulwich Grove are really good - they are interval training so even though the classes are only half an hour you get a very good work out- in the summer Tom does a class in Dulwich Park Tom's address is [email protected] The classes are only ?5 each and the first is free
