London s most sought-after gyms are reopening
Stage Two in the easing of lockdown is momentous for those who hold fitness dear. Gyms and indoor swimming pools have finally been given the green light to reopen, albeit governed by a slew of rules: people from two different households mustn’t deliberately mix; indoor group exercise classes are still off the cards, and so on.
For many, the gym is all about a community, and that endorphin buzz is so much sweeter in a group (and I defy you to break plank if everybody else is shaking on in there). So why should we abandon our virtual home workouts and traipse back to the gym only to find ourselves alone once more?
