Destino Says...

1Rebel was founded by James Balfour (son of Mike Balfour who founded Fitness First), and has a legion of loyal fans. With a mix of memberships available, including their original no contract class options (a self-confessed rebellion against his father’s business model), 1Rebel’s string-free workouts really do get people (and a host of celebrities) coming back for more.

Class names all begin with R: Ride is their music blaring, disco-lit take on spinning; Reshape is 45 minutes of intense HIIT involving stints on a treadmill combined with matt work; Rumble is a mix of cardio boxing and mixed martial art moves; Reformer is a cardio pilates reformer in a dark studio with loud music; and Reset is their hot and cold therapy session comprising moving between a sauna and cold plunge (only available at High Street Kensington at the moment).

Things we love? Their weekly themed Rides (like 90s pop or Beyonce vs. Jay-Z) and icy-fresh essential oil-infused towels (as amazing as they sound). This is London boutique fitness at its finest.
