With so many first-class athletes living here, as well as the rise of the social media fitness trainers and influencers, it's almost as if you're required to be fit in order to live here. Fortunately, this isn't an official rule, however, there's no reason why you can't be. Or, at the very least, try to be. The British capital is packed with gyms and fitness centers that have become some of most popular spots in the city. They're practically the new 'gentlemen's clubs' for the fit crowd here.

 

Another Space

Best believe it, once you get to this gym, you won't need to find "Another Space" to exercise in! Okay, puns aside, this place really is top-notch as far as gyms are concerned.

Though it's the diverse workouts offered, from HIIT to yoga, that will make you want to get a membership here.
