A gym designed specifically for cyclists and runners has opened in Soho in London.
H2, a private members’ fitness club, will cater to the increased number of cyclists in London, thanks to the Barclays bike rental scheme.
If you live in the London area and you’ve previously put off cycling because of the lack of facilities to freshen up at your work, this centre could be a great solution. There’s a huge 240-space bike parking area, sports massages on tap and even dry cleaning and laundry services.
Best of all, there’s a cycle service centre, so if you get a flat tire on the way to work, you can drop it in to be fixed for the commute home.
Classes for Cyclists
Unsurprisingly, the gym offers classes tailored for cyclists. Serious cyclists can give spinning a bash if they like.
In fact, the gym has been so popular, with over 400 members in six weeks, that a second club is due to open in London Wall in mid 2012. Plans are also in the works for a third club in the Holborn area.
Affordable fitness
At £30.99 for peak time access, and £21.99 for off peak, it’s actually quite affordable for a London-based gym. I quite like that there’s a pay as you go option, if you’re not a regular commuter.
