Free Admission
It’s the news all fitness junkies have been waiting for: gyms are now open! If you’re itching to get back to your classes, here’s the lowdown on what to know before you take a trip to our King’s Road fitness spaces.
KOBOX
Chelsea’s boutique boxing gym is back and packing a punch. Class format remains the same, with its signature, high impact mix of boxing on the bag and circuit-style routines as usual. You will be allocated a bag and a wall spot for the duration of the class and will not share your bag or equipment with anyone else during the class (all equipment will be cleaned between classes). Good news for regular KOBOXers, too: if you have class credits from before lockdown, these have been extended and are valid for four months. Check the timetable, choose your instructor and reserve your spot here.
