Lomax Bespoke Fitness, Nutrition and Wellbeing

Went to Lomax for the first time on Friday evening. Upon arrival I was checked in by a very friendly girl at the front desk. The downstairs portion of the gym is a café that serves healthy food and fresh juices. Also a major plus is that they provide both towels and water, which was fantastic as I forgot mine.
The locker room has lockers, showers, and hairdryers. The gym itself is broken up into individual pods where you have your own set of TRX straps, barbell weights, and bench. Which is great so that in a regular workout you would not need to wait.
I attended the Blast Class, and boy did I get blasted. This was probably one of the toughest workouts I have done in a very very long time. It is a circuit based workout where each exercise is done at a high intensity for a minute, then switch to a another. Each set worked out a different muscle group, and then repeated. It was a very small class of about 7 people, which was great because the instructor was able to really help and give you individual attention and correct your posture and technique. I was not as advanced as many of the people in the class and the instructor helped tailor exercises that were still very challenging, just more my speed.
The cruel joke was that you need to go down stairs to leave the building and I was feeling the burn so much that I contemplated doing a tuck in roll down.
As challenging as it was, the instructor and workout helped me push myself like I haven’t in a very long time. I may be walking sideways and making loud groaning noises every time I sit, but I plan to be back very soon. It can only get better from here!

You’ll find this reasonably upmarket gym in Fulham Rd. From the outside you could be deceived and think this was just a café, but upstairs is a whole different world.
The main section of the gym is divided into ‘fitness pods’ where you get your own functional training space to workout, as well as a bench, weights, TRX straps, a barbell… it’s your own private gym — no lines on chest day at Lomax!
They also run classes and personal training sessions — including Bumps and Burpees which offers specialised postnatal training for new mums, and their babies are of course more than welcome to join them.
As well as the individual pods, there is a cable machine, resistance machines and stacks of extra dumbells and weights.
And then after your workout you can head downstairs to the café for a nutritious snack!
