The vibe was insane last night! So nice to have our PBB Angels together again – social distancing with our relaunched PBB IN THE PARK! We are doing this every week in Bishops Park and new locations to be announced this week! Please comment if you are in. #pbbinthpark #pbbmethod #paolasbodybarre #pbb

Feel the burn like never before at one of the outdoor classes from Paola’s Body Barre. A mixture of pilates, cardio, strength, ballet and dance-based moves, classes are harder than the average barre class. But your body will thank you for it – after just a few sessions you’ll feel leaner, stronger and more toned. Classes are taking place in Bishop’s Park, and all you need to bring is a mat and a resistance band. £10 per class, paolasbodybarre.com

Bored of your workout routine? Mix things up with a stand up paddle boarding session on the Thames. Active360 is running classes at a number of locations across the city, including Kew Bridge, Paddington, Putney and Brentford Lock. Stand up paddle boarding is somewhat easier to master than other water sports, but still provides a full body workout. active360.co.uk
