FORM Lagree Studio, Queensway

We’ve been fans of founders Elissa and Jerry since they launched FORM in Notting Hill in 2014. After building a devoted following thanks to their PUREcore form of pilates and subsequent expansion to high-intensity classes, this month sees them opening their second location in Queensway, London, a dedicated Lagree studio.

Known for its low-impact, yet high-intensity workouts, Lagree is a transformative fitness method that targets every muscle group using state-of-the-art Megaformer machines. Moves are undertaken slowly but don’t let this fool you: within minutes you’ll feel your muscles shaking and devotees credit it for toning their bodies quickly.

The new studio is a modern space and they’ve enlisted expert trainers to create an inspiring environment to achieve your fitness goals. Our only sadness? PUREcore at the original studio is no more – but we know you’ll love FORM’s Lagree method just as much.

This luxurious experience combines advanced LED Light Therapy from CurrentBody, Omorovicza’s signature full-body massage, and nourishing Mega Omega Wraps to hydrate and revitalize tired skin.

We’ve been watching Larry King’s new location take shape in Marylebone for the last few months, delighted that this new outpost has expanded his effortlessly chic brand to central London. Known for creating iconic styles for celebrities and fashion insiders, Larry King and his team of exceptionally skilled stylists and colourists are famous for their bespoke approach to cuts, colour, and treatments.

The new studio continues this legacy with a cleverly handpicked team. So whether you’re seeking a transformative cut or repairing tired locks, the Marylebone studio is the perfect destination to start 2025 with your best hair yet.
