Best’s Bootcamp and BESTCycle® is launching its second site in London’s South Kensington
By Joshua Haigh
Established in 2016, Best’s Bootcamp and BESTCycle® is a boutique studio offering signature Bootcamp and cycle classes. The new studio, based on Harrington Road, joins the brand’s existing site in Charing Cross and is part of a wider expansion plan across the capital.
Aiming to offer a more personal approach to group exercise, all trainers are level three or above qualified Bootcamp instructors and the range of 30 and 50 minute classes are soundtracked by Best’s resident DJs, with fresh tracks mixed for every session.
Key to the personal approach is the studio’s Trainer Cam experience, which ensures the trainer is visible on screens as they move around the studio and is designed to help participants maintain form and technique.
In addition, the studio will feature the newest treadmills on the market called SkillRuns. Manufactured by Technogym, Best’s Bootcamp is the first studio in the world to have these treadmills. Bringing a more rounded approach to running, not only do these treadmills go up to speeds of 25kmph, but they also have a 25% incline so they can challenge even the hardest of runners. Alongside this, they are capable of being turned into a weighted sled, or even a parachute resisted run at the flick of a button.
The treadmills are complemented by a full range of strength equipment including kettlebells, medicine balls, dumbbells, power bands and the unique Best’s Box. Designed bespoke for Best’s Bootcamp by Escape Fitness, the box offers two different height options for a versatile workout. Lastly, all sessions focus on one type of movement; push, pull or core/total body with instructors ensuring that members move through all three planes of motion to deliver a functional workout.
Running alongside Best’s Bootcamp is BESTCycle®. Offering 45 minute rhythm-ride based sessions, BESTCycle® uses a dynamic and unique training method, creating not just a spin class, but an experience as well. All members are cleated in with free to borrow shoes and there is a dedicated weight track in each session along with power tracks, double times, tap backs and steady rides.
Music plays a huge role in the BESTCycle® experience with each class soundtracked by the individual instructor, all of whom are professionally qualified through the BESTCycle® certification programme. In addition, the studio features UV lighting and there are no monitors or stats involved, ensuring the sessions are fully inclusive.
Best’s Bootcamp and BESTCycle® also offers the best in class when it comes to member experience. From lavender scented iced sweat towels to L’Occitane shower products, the studio provides a luxe fitness experience for everyone.
Lee Drabble, Managing Director of Best’s Bootcamp and BESTCycle® comments: “We’re excited to be launching our second site in South Kensington. As a studio, we pride ourselves on offering members real results, with classes led by highly qualified instructors. There is also a huge focus on community and member interaction ensuring a high octane and sociable environment for all.”
Best’s Bootcamp and BESTCycle® classes will be priced from £20. For more information visit: www.bestsbootcamp.com
