• 2 Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre at Hotel Cafe Royal

  Located in the heart of bustling Piccadilly Circus, The Akasha Spa at Hotel Cafe Royal is an underground sanctuary of rest and rejuvenation. The star of the show is a medatitive swimming pool (Soothing ambient beats are pumped out underwater no less) and the oh so zen yoga studio is the perfect place for yoga bunnies to practice their downward dog.  After all that swimming and stretching, what better way to soothe post workout aches and pains than a trip to the luxourious marble steam room or hammam…

• 3 The Cornwall Hotel Spa & Estate

  We're worked out in this gym and believe us when we say it is fully stacked. Complete with a state-of-the-art fitness suite and personal training on tap, you can overhaul your exisiting regime or kickstart a new one. There's even an inhouse nutritionist to get your diet back on track if you've started to slip. When you're bored of hitting the gym take your workout alfresco and hit up the local countryside or costal roads for their steep inclines and uneven terrain – it makes for one heck of a challenging run/hike or cycle. Oh, and did we mention it's located in beautiful Cornwall?

• 5 Champney’s Day Spa

  If it's a bootcamp you're after then there's one for every part of your body here. Bums, tums, legs and arms will all get a good working out! The other great thing about Champneys is that it's blissfully relaxing.  Brilliant for any less exercise obsessed companions who might prefer to indulge in non taxing spa activities than join you in your quest for killer thighs.  We'd recommend taking a pair of wellies to expore the extensive grounds and surronding woodland.
