A New Year, A New You: Health & Fitness at The Junction

For many of us, the New Year is a time for fresh starts and striving to achieve new goals.

After an indulgent festive period, a focus on health and fitness may be at the top of your resolutions list and it’s a great way to kickstart 2026. Incorporating fitness into our lifestyle not only improves our physical health, but also has an incredible effect on our mental wellbeing, helps us to build confidence and, of course, gives us new social connections.

To set you on your fitness path, we’ve put together a guide to gyms, health clubs and fitness studios in Clapham Junction where you’ll find plenty of ways to fire up those endorphins and get motivated and moving. Lycra at the ready, here we go…
 

Gyms and Health Clubs

January is a great time to benefit from great deals on gym memberships! 

For example, Fitness First on St John’s Hill offers unlimited access to all gym facilities and classes for £85 per month. With that, you receive smart workouts, body insights, and AI-powered plans for measurable progress, as well as access to classes such as Strength, Cardio, Cycle to Mind & Body, and Fight. If you find it’s not for you, there’s a seven-day cooling-off period for new members.

One of the newest health clubs to open in Clapham Junction is Third Space, a luxury neighbourhood club offering 27,500 sq ft of high-spec workout and recovery space. Located in the iconic Arding & Hobbs building, the stunning original beams and windows, with modern industrial finishes, pour natural light into the 2,500 sq ft gym space and frame their signature HIIT and cycle classes and Hot Yoga and Reformer Pilates spaces. Third Space offers a ‘Club’ membership package for their Clapham Junction health club, or ‘Group and ‘Group Plus’ for access to other sites too.

Of course, you don’t need to be a dedicated gym bunny to enjoy the health benefits of a gym and, fortunately, many of our local fitness centres offer flexible packages to work around your busy lifestyle. Over at Milo and The Bull on St John’s Hill – also a Hyrox Training Club – you can test the water with a two-week unlimited class trial for just £25. If you choose to sign up, there are several packages on offer, including Reformer and Strong Mum classes. The new Reformer Pilates Studio offers a unique form of Pilates that uses resistance created through a moving carousel with springs and straps, and is an incredible form of low-impact exercise with big benefits.

Anytime Fitness on Lavender Hill spans three floors and features the area's largest gym, top equipment, studios, and a recovery area featuring Hydromassage beds and Hyperice compression boots. In addition to the traditional annual membership, AF offers flexible 3-month and 6-month membership packages.

If you prefer to kickstart your New Year Fitness goals with a one-on-one approach, you may want to check out Fit To Last (Lavender Hill) or Parlanti Fitness (Northcote Road), which specialise in Personal Training.

Boxing Clubs

Boxing is a superb way to get fit and help us deal with life’s inevitable punches. Across the road from Clapham Junction station, 12 Rounds Boxing offers classes for beginners through to pro-boxing coaching. 

The Boxing Fundamentals course is designed for newbies who want to pull on the gloves, sample some drills and improve their overall fitness. And, for young budding boxers in the family, Kids Boxing is a great introduction to a fun and social environment, with classes for 6-10-year-olds and 11-15-year-olds. If you’re not sure it’s for you, try their taster session for £10.

Spin Studios

Located on Battersea Rise, Psycle London hosts their signature spin workout – Ride – set to an upbeat playlist and guided by equally upbeat instructors. 

With the bike, the beat and the instructor, you’ll be pushed beyond the limits of your average spin class and immersed in the energy of the room, bringing you an unrivalled mind and body experience. The three-class starter pack for £50 is a great way to test if spin class is for you.

Yoga and Pilates Studios

If you prefer a little mindfulness ‘me’ time with the occasional 'Om’, Sadhana Yoga and Wellbeing on St John’s Hill allows you to escape the noise of the city. 

In a space designed to help you find balance, build strength, and cultivate inner peace, you'll be supported in a nurturing environment. So, if you’re ready to practice your downward dog, try their Multi-Studio Offer, which includes four classes for £30 plus a free guest pass.

Over on Northcote Road, Every specialises in Reformer Pilates with 45-minute classes designed to leave you feeling energised and uplifted. Their Sculpt, Form, Spicy, Strong, Melt, Prenatal and Postnatal classes mean there is a class for everyone and every body, every day of the week. Purchase their Two-Class Teaser for £99 if you want to dip your toes.

Finally, Four Sides London on Northcote Road provides expert physiotherapy, women’s health, Pilates, Reformer and strength and conditioning services. Their Pilates classes are inclusive and suitable for all ages, supporting fitness, recovery, and daily activities.
