National Fitness Day at The Junction

Post Date: 23 Sept 2020

National Fitness Day on Wednesday 23rd September is the most active day of the year when we, as a nation, celebrate the role that physical activity plays in our lives. It’s when people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities are encouraged to come together to celebrate a fun-filled day of fitness!

Incorporating fitness into our lifestyles not only improves our physical health, it also has an incredible effect on our mental wellbeing, helps us to build confidence and, of course, gives us new social connections.

So, get your neon Lycra at the ready and be prepared to celebrate all things fitness in Clapham Junction where you’ll find plenty of ways to fire up those endorphins and to get you moving…

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 the budding boxers in your family, Kids Boxing is a great introduction in a fun and social environment, with classes for 7-10 year and 11-15-year olds.

CYCLING & SPIN

Psycle London was first launched as the original single ride studio, designed to get people hooked on the transformative power of movement to help them become healthier, happier and more energetic. These days, it’s a multifaceted global health and fitness brand offering high intensity ‘ride’ classes to push you beyond the limits of an average spin class, along with barre, strength and yoga sessions. Book your class at the Battersea Rise studio here.

YOGA & PILATES

If you prefer a little mindfulness ‘me’ time with the occasional 'Om’, Sadhana Yoga and Wellbeing are offering live-streamed yoga and movement classes, giving you the ‘flexibility’ to tune in when it suits you, from wherever you are. Better still, they’re currently offering a free 14-day trial so, get ready to practice your downward dog!

Over on Northcote Road, Four Sides London will get you working on your physical strength, posture and flexibility. The class size for Pilates is currently limited to three, however, the Group Mat Pilates classes continue to run online, allowing you to enjoy dynamic, energetic, inventive and enjoyable workouts from the comfort of your own home. The perfect way to take a little time out from daily life.

FITNESS GEAR & SUPPLEMENTS
