Take your workout to a whole new level this summer as the City’s swankiest venues clear their rooftops for you to break a sweat while taking in a view.
Wimbledon Workout Week at One New Change
Change is getting a jump on Wimbledon with a series of rooftop workouts in the week leading up to the tournament. From 25 to 30 June, trainers from WIT, Frame, Yogangster, Pure Sports Med and Gymbox will put you through your paces and all it will cost you is a fiver donation towards charity Barnardos. Book at onenewchange.com.
RooFIT at Aviary
Start your morning right on the 10th floor of the Montcalm Hotel in Finsbury Square where rooftop restaurant Aviary will be teaming up with boutique fitness studios for a series of workouts en high. On select Thursdays and Fridays you can strike a pose with Triyoga, get your sweat on with BXR, or elongate your muscles with En Avant Ballet. Each class is £25 (including a goodie bag) and bookings are via aviarylondon.com.
Rooftop yoga at Madison
Take your downward dog up several flights of stairs to the rooftop of Madison restaurant St Paul’s where yogi Sophie Dear is leading a vinyasa flow sequence from 7am each Wednesday until 22 August. Unsurprisingly, most people find the views of the City skyline preferable to a sweaty studio so classes book out fast. Reserve your mat for £13 at sophiesfitness.co.uk.
