The 30 Best Cardio exercise classes in London

“I used to do muai thai kickboxing many years ago. Following a injury to my hip I had to stop. I never thought I'd be able to engage in this sport I love so much. Well, until I started training with Jimmy about 5 months ago. His understanding of the body, injury prevention and rehabilitation, really helped. The range of movement in my hip continues to get better and stronger. I am faster, stronger, my technique continues to improve. I really connected well with Jimmys style of training, as its about training like a athlete, the discipline and commitment. Also his passion for the sport. When I think about where I started when I first started training with Jimmy to where I am now, I feel very thankful, plus proud of my journey and I am excited to continue progressing my skills in this sport I love very much! And its all because of the sessions with Jimmy, so thank you so much for being the best and always believing that I can do it! I always feel like a total champion after our sessions!”

“Such a fun class. Malika is a great teacher, she empowers you to trust your own movement in a welcoming environment. Everyone in the class is super friendly and it’s super fun while learning a lot. Thank you Malika:)”

“When I first started Sam’s classes, I couldn’t dance at all! I love dancing but I just looked so stiff every time I tried! Sam has helped me through my learning journey by teaching me dance techniques, fundamentals and combos that I will keep forever. His classes has really helped build my confidence and made me a better dancer (I hope!) Would highly recommend Sam!”

“Been here to offer my service multiple times and love this place , I highly recommend for birthday parties , staff are friendly and kids will have a lovely time ! Upstairs where children eat also good space and clean ! Parking not a problem as they have their own , I always find it easy park aswell !!”

“I've always wanted to swim in this pool since visiting during the Olympics. Booked for the 50m competition pool via the Everyone Active app. At £7 per adult this is great value for money and comparable to any other leisure centre. The changing village was clean, plenty of hot showers, and the lockers (£1 returnable) were well maintained. The pool was clean and the temperature was good for continual lane swimming. Great experience and will certainly return!”

“Mikael and yulia are very enthusiastic and positive every day. Both run really good classes and are always around to help with technique or equipment! Highly recommend this gym, things are constantly improving - equipment is being changed, new equipment, new spin bikes. I know some reviews are harsh but it is the best gym in the area. Highly recommend”

“Amazing gym! Exceptional machines, lovely environment and friendly staff! Umar did the gym tour for us, and explained everything in detail. Very prepared team and ready to assist. Clean facility, endless options for a great workout session, of any kind! 10000% recommend!”

“Good atmosphere and nice location”

“Absolutely amazing. Had my daughter’s 11th Birthday here these weekend and could recommend more. Sam was so helpful and accommodating with the booking of the party, and Adders and Mollie were great on the day. I had a group of 30 children aged 6-11 and every single one of them came away saying what a fabulous party it was. Couldn’t recommend more.”

“I visited Richu at Fitfixtherapy regarding some mobility issues I was having. She was super helpful and went through a thorough history to find out as to why I may have the issue. As a competitive Powerlifter, mobility is key. Once Richu got to the root of the issue, she got to work in our sessions and also gave me a home care plan to consistently work on it. These things are not fixed in one session and it takes time for the body to readjust and relearn. I would highly recommend Fitfixtherapy to anyone I know as you will only get a first class service.”

“I highly recommend Jamie at Onebody clinic as a physiotherapist. She was thorough in her assessment of my child's neck and shoulder pain. She guided us through various exercises and interventions over multiple weeks to relieve the pain and build strength in the muscles. We feel well equipped to deal with any flare-ups and are very happy with the progress experienced.”

“One of the best workouts I’ve ever had! Highly recommend trying it out!”

“Benjamin loves going to Boom arts ( he goes on a Friday and in the holidays). Paisley always greets us with a warm and friendly smile. Ben is especially fond of Sam and Miss Isla. Ben has grown in confidence and loves showing family members his newest moves! So proud of him achieving an Honours award in his dance exam. The whole team are amazing, organised, supportive, talented and understanding. Thank you to all the team for all their hard work. We appreciate you and highly recommend you.”

“What a fantastic place for learning and community building, has been a great catalyst for spiritual growth for many. Amazing people and great food/prasadam.”

“Klaudia is extremely knowledgeable and observant. She studies the way your body moves and comes up with exercises tailored for you. I’ve been seeing her as my PT for a couple of months now and I’m always learning something new about exercises and my body. I’ve also seen Klaudia for sports massage where she applies her in depth knowledge of physiology as well as what she’s observed during personal training to work on the muscles that really need it. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“My daughter has been going to MGM movement at Essex Pole and Tone for nearly 2 years now. She has gained such incredible confidence and new skills and talent doing aerial silks and hoop! She loves the friends she has made! Maisy and Yasmin have such patience and encouragement always for all the children! I would definitely recommend coming on down and trying!”

“I found a passion for MMA when I completed the wimp to warrior program. The coaches are very knowledgeable, they provide a wide range of classes for all abilities and there is such a great friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend it.”

“I have wanted to do dance classes for all of my adult life and always chickened out due to stage fright/anxiety, fear of being judged and under qualified at even “casual” classes. At the start of this year I pulled the trigger and did some taster sessions at Studio K and never looked back. All the instructors and members are so welcoming and friendly. A variety of levels of fitness and body types (which is refreshing, especially in ballet!) and everyone from people who have never danced to seasoned dancers. It has been a wonderful social experience and chance to be able to indulge in a range of dance styles I never thought I’d be able to do in the same place plus a discovery of others (Waacking is life changing). I only wish I had time to go more often! Thank you Studio K - especially Ginger and Sarah who I normally do classes with. Try out the taster sessions - you won’t regret it!”

“We are loving Little Gym and have been members since 2022 since our daughter was 2! The staff and facilities are exceptional and although it might seem expensive compared to other clashes the flexibility is so useful as they are always accommodating with swapping and banking classes which helps so much as things always come up. It’s a really nice place for parents and we’ve made many friends there.”

“Fresh Gym feels like a second home. They genuinely welcome everyone of all abilities and provide positive encouragement to help each member achieve their individual goals. It's the first gym where I've felt so comfortable. Brilliant range of classes, skilled trainers, wonderful ethos and friendly fellow members - what's not to love? I highly recommend it!”

“Great multi sport gym based around combat sports. The staff are dedicated and know their subject and are on hand to be helpful - so if they offer advice then take it! Facilities are clean. Lots of parking. Good studio classes and cardio area. Combat area and combat training is second to none. Professional quality that is affordable and accessible to anyone.”

“Jess Field has been treating my onslaught of arthritis and its after-effects. Her advice has been knowledgeable, reassuring and positive, helping me to recovery. I really appreciated her follow-up emails detailing recommended exercises that I could refer to later.”

“Great boxing gym, fantastic coaches and super interesting (and super tiring in the best sense of the word!) classes.”

“Great Gym with really good equipment!”

“What a fantastic place to have in a community. Not only is it great for picking up sporting supplies, the staff and security are friendly/helpful, AND there are all kinds of activities going on upstairs. These are affordable and provide a safe space to try out an activity. As a result, Canada Water has become a great place to live if you’re into sports / trying out new activities. Shout out to the taekwondo classes - these have been the highlight for me and I 10/10 recommend them.”

“Great service item arrived earlier than schedule... Will definitely buy from again. I've been using the bands just over a week now and they are great. Helping me with my slow recovery from a shoulder operation...”

“Good facilities with friendly staff and Paul at reception is amazing. I attend Hampton sometimes for badminton and the atmosphere is great and the coach Mannie is fantastic. They have 4 courts inside the sports hall.”

“Quality football pitch. Happy to return!”

“Good track and facilities, well organised meeting and plenty of free parking. Not much cover though when it rains”
