What To Expect From A Metabolic London Session
Metabolic London offers a mix of HIIT and strength work over numerous class types and formats. The 4,000 sq ft space has SkiErgs, air bikes and rowers for cardio and kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells and other free weight tools for the strength work.
Class types include Metabolic, which is a classic mix of HIIT and strength; Meta Circuit, which offers “old school” circuit training; Challenge, which sets the goal of completing listed exercises in a set time frame; and Intensity, which is about going at maximum pace in short bursts.
Calisthenics classes are also available for bodyweight training enthusiasts.
The Reception Service
We were unable to make a phone call to the club prior to our visit, as all three of our attempts were not answered.
In the club, the coach was conducting the check ins, which was tough for him as he was in the middle of a personal training session. Once he had time and came over to us, he was warm, friendly and helpful.
The Class Experience
Metabolic London received The Fit Guide 4-Star Class Experience Award, making it one of London’s stand-out offerings.
Our coach was both enthusiastic and knowledgeable, offering very strong and easy-to-follow cues on each of the exercises. He ensured the workout was at the right level for everyone, pushing us in a positive and encouraging manner. During the class set up, some exercises were not demonstrated visually, so we weren’t sure on the correct or best form.
The Equipment And Studio
Cardio equipment was high-quality and from well-known brands. Everything was in good condition, bar some wear and tear. There was a large Metabolic London logo on the wall but equipment wasn’t branded.
The Facilities And Public Areas
Shower towels were provided free of charge, but workout towels were not. Lockers were provided with number locks. Free water refill stations were not available.
We joined the first class of the day, and it appeared as though the changing rooms hadn’t been attended to from the previous evening’s sessions.
Digital And Technology
The digital booking process worked well. The website was easy to navigate but lacked information on the individual coaches.
There was no technology element woven into the class experience.
