Third Space

London

So named because its

gyms offer a haven away from your ‘first’ and ‘second’ spaces (home and office – these days one and the same).

When you can get away from your desk, its seven London venues offer both luxury – UV-purified pools, steam rooms, fluffy towels – and a take-noprisoners training ethos, encompassing everything from HIIT to martial arts.

But when its saunas and spin studios shut last year, the gym chain proved it’s more than just a pretty space with the launch of a comprehensive virtual training programme. Designed with the WFH crowd in mind, its app includes an extensive library of more than 500 fitness classes, led by the gym’s top trainers, including shorter ‘express’ workouts for those between-Slack-call breaks. Recreating the luxury spa experience at home might pose more of a challenge.
