Training in South Kensington

Reformers, a David Lloyd and a dojo.

If Pilates is your thing, South Kensington is well supplied: Pilates Vita, Core Flex, Complete Pilates, Trevor Blount and Pilates Squared are all here, with Yoga SW7 on top. For a full gym there's David Lloyd Kensington, the independent The Gym Way and Retrofit London, and an Anytime Fitness on the SW10 side. The Budokwai in SW10 is the martial arts option.

Kensington Gardens is close by, beyond the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A on Exhibition Road. Brompton Cemetery, a Grade I listed garden cemetery, makes a quieter loop to the west. Imperial College is on the doorstep too, so a training partner might be a student, a researcher or a neighbour.
