Dance and exercise in London

“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!”

“I have admired pole dancing for years and finally decided to give it a try. When I actually tried it, I felt frustrated because my body is stiff and heavy, making it hard to control. However, it was so much fun! The instructors were all kind and taught me patiently. I would love to continue attending classes. Thank you for such an enjoyable time!”

“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.”

“Prime acrobatics is a fantastic facility with passionate, caring staff that really bring out the best in every child. We have attended several parties with our daughters and their preschool class is exceptional!”

“OTR is a friendly and welcoming studio! It’s really unique as it caters well to new beginners in dance looking to build confidence. Missie the studio owner brings her full self to classes and is remarkable.”

“It’s done well for a community sports center, the facilities are in great condition and staff is friendly”

“I’ve been going to AYB for over a year and it’s by far the best dance studio I’ve been to. The teachers are supportive, patient and really cares for those that want to build their dance techniques and skills. Not only that, they also make it a safe space for the community to go and shake a stressful day away and escape from reality for an hour or two. And to top it off, the people that go here are so friendly and give off such a great vibe and make you feel like you’re not alone. I’ve met some really nice people here and made some friends along the way. Forever grateful for the teachers and the community at AYB ”

“We had a capsize drill & swim test, brilliant pool lovely school”

“I've been coming to the pole class here for 6 years and absolutely love it! Jade, the instructor is incredibly encouraging and supportive. She has created such a welcoming atmosphere, making everyone feel comfortable regardless of their experience level. Her guidance is clear, patient, and motivating, which really helps build confidence while learning new moves. The class is a perfect mix of challenge and fun, and every week I leave feeling stronger, inspired, and excited to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build strength, confidence, and have a great time doing it!”

“Very nice building with lots going on for all ages and lots activities”

“I did the harness and bungee taster as a birthday present. That is certainly an experience that put me out of my comfort zone but brought a lot of joy too! The staff here are solid professionals and I trusted them entirely. Definitely a fun and unconventional activity to try!”

“Amazing community centre that takes care of all your corporate function hire needs”

“Nice and cool place. Here you can find a number of activities like dance class, cricket class, boxing, karate classes, football lessons as well and so on. In the reception area you can buy a refreshments thing for yourself. Overall, it was a good experience Thanks”

“My son is learning to swim at this club past 2 years and is doing phenomenally well. The teachers are really meticulous in teaching the right techniques. Very happy that he is learning an important life skill from such dedicated teachers.”

“Having been to the U18 Football, Don Davis, and fight4change boxing sessions, The Black Prince Trust is definitely one of the best places for fitness, especially for young people like me aged around 13 - 16. The pitch is quite decent and the boxing gym has a lot of equipment for training. The coaches are also extremely passionate in not only the sport, but also in supporting and inspiring adolescents to get fit and make new friends. Don Davis boxing is on from 4:30 to 5:30, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the fee is £1.50, however the fight4change boxing sessions, football and basketball session are free. Here is some pictures I took of the boxing gym.”

“Great swimming pool, friendly and helpful staff, welcoming, fantastic facilities. My son and I really enjoyed swimming there and definitely will visit again.”

“They have organised very good navratri festival. There is more than enough space for almost 1000 plus people to play. I loved it. I went 2 times this year to this place.”

“We had our big religious celebration there for around 150 people in Colin Peel Hall. The hall was very clean and big. The kitchen was clean and tidy, with oven and fridge. The toilets were clean too. Love their stage and green room. Perfect for having parties and celebrations. Staff was good too.”

“What can I say, this place is full of information with endless activities. I was amazed at how much is done here even though it looks very small from the outside. I travelled an hour to use the Cranial Therapy and the lady is amazing. I urge any locals who don't avail of the services here to do so as you're blessed to have it at your doorstep, no word of a lie. Lovely, clean place and my 3 visits were wonderful. Looking forward to the new year (please God)!”

“I just want to say a big thank you to the Ballet Team at the studios. Our children have attended ballet classes here since they were little, and throughout the years both Miss Cecile and Miss Angelina have gone above and beyond to support both my girls, through all the wonderful up and down phases of growing up. As both my girls embark on the next stage of their lives away from London, I particularly wanted to reach out to these two teachers to thank them for their kindness, understanding and exceptional teaching approach which as a family we will treasure for ever. Please pass on our gratitude.”

“Hillingdon branch of the British sugar guild meet up 2nd Tuesday of the month demonstrations or have a go 7pm”

“I had my birthday party here It was the best time I had lots of my friends We had a big big bouncy castle I recommend this place for parties and I will have another there next time”

“I had my son's swimming party here and it was fantastic. The staff were so helpful and the pool looked amazing with the sensory lights, swim toys and music. We did not feel rushed to leave at the end and were given a huge room for cake and food. Thank you for a great day. I would really recommend this venue.”

“Clean and lovely service. Equipment is great, feel like I will be able to really hit my target goals. Yasmin was super helpful and made me feel welcomed!”

“As a new member have had a wonderful experience. I'd like to thank Julie on reception especially for her warm welcome, her patient explanations and her enquires as to how the classes have gone. The centre is lucky to have her on their staff”

“Lovely staff, very attentive. When the item I wanted wasn’t in store, they did the online order for me.”

“I really like Penney’s classes, from fitness rebounder to body conditioning to aqua aerobics !! She motivates me to keep going in all her classes because she has such great energy, enthusiasm and motivation!! She definitely deserves 5 stars and more. love your energy”

“Best dance school I have come across in the south London/Kent area. The staff are kind and professional. Teaching is outstanding and industry level choreography. Nice waiting area for parents that serves the best cup of tea in Bromley!”

“Nice places to hire for small functions like birthday parties or get together for eid celebrations”

“Excellent School with great teachers. My daughter attends this school and loves it.”
