Outdoor exercise
Ditch the gym and get in the great outdoors. Wildfitness offers both group and personal training in London parks to help the city\'s \"caged animals\" break free from the stress of the urban jungle. Members of Virgin Active can also experience a breath of fresh air with Outdoor Active classes where your instructor gets you out of the gym and into a local open space.
Perfect for: Those who need a bit of instruction but like the freedom of being outside.

If finding time to exercise seems nigh on impossible, consider a quick fix. Fast Classes at Virgin Active are only 15 to 30 minutes long, but their high intensity means just a few times a week is all it takes to see results. A shower and sweat-free alternative is the vibrating Power-Plates machine, which takes only 25 minutes and can perfectly fit in your lunch hour. Good Vibes has Power-Plate classes to combat everything from dropping a dress size to achieving a gorgeous \"bubble butt.\"
Best for: Busy bees who want to see results and fast.
