Lady Wimbledon revisited Virgin Gym Wimbledon..
“It was over 10 years ago when I was last a member at Virgin Gym. I’d had 3 kids in quick succession and wanted my old body back. I went and asked for their most energetic & experienced gym instructor. In walked Sasha – who managed to get me back in shape in 3 months!
I walked back in last week and the corridor brought me back to a decade ago. However, as soon as I went past their new health café called Kauai, and into their brand spanking new gym and spa and meditation room – oh and Pilates – I realised they’d had a massive upgrade and it was only me feeling older. I obvs headed straight for the pool. My favourite place on a Friday night. Finishing off with a hot jacuzzi and sauna where I got chatting to a guy who was coming to my local beach in Cyprus to play golf. I introduced him up with a friend of mine the following week who also wanted a partner for round of golf in Aphrodite Hills. Amazing who you meet in nice places.
The next day I tried out their Sound Bath Yoga; a meditative practice that centres on the concept of sound bathing. I love a morning stretch so a few gentle yin yoga moves was perfect to unwind before fully settling into the class. The instructor used singing bowls to create the most mesmerising sound of tranquillity. I’m no gym bunny, so a swim and a sound bath is all I need to make my body sing sweetly both day and night.
When ever i’m in town, I love going for a swim & spa at Virgin.
They tell me the rest of September is free at the mo and the £50 joining fee has been removed.
Also, a 15% discount on the monthly rate will be applied for the whole 12-months
This is the best offer they have had all year. Hopefully next time I’m there – I’ll see you in the sauna.”
