GYM
The gym can be found in the downstairs area at Zedwell: just
walk down the lobby and take the stairs on the left.
The gym is equipped with dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance
machines, and cardio machines, all of the highest quality. It is also fully air
conditioned, to ensure maximum comfort.
The gym is open to use for all Zedwell guests.
THE STUDIO
We all know life can be stressful, especially in a city like
London (rush hour commute, anyone?). And exercise can help reduce stress and
promote good sleep, whilst triggering the production of endorphins, the ‘feel
good’ chemicals that improve your sense of wellbeing.
At Zedwell we value your wellness and wellbeing above
anything else, so naturally we are big fans of anything yoga, Pilates, and
meditation.
We have recruited the most talented instructors and offer
daily classes including Vinyasa Flow, Power Yoga and Mat Pilates.
You can book your classes by clicking on this link.

(or not! You can treat yourself to a massage anytime).
Our in-house expert masseuses will be welcoming you with
open arms.

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE
The benefits of exercise are endless, but we have tried to
list out a few of them for you, to read over on those days when your motivation
simply cannot be found!
- Better
sleep! Exercising regularly will help you fall asleep faster, and sleep
better and longer. Who doesn’t love a good night’s sleep?
- Exercise
reduces the risk of certain health conditions such as: heart disease, high
blood pressure, depression, dental
health and type 2 diabetes.
- Your
mood will benefit from regular exercise too. After a good weight session
or a run on the treadmill, your body will release a very healthy amount of
endorphins, the ‘feel good’ chemicals, which will boost your mood and
improve your wellbeing.
- Exercise
is fun! Just find a form of exercise you enjoy and try being as consistent
as possible.
TYPES OF EXERCISE
There are three main types of exercise.
- Aerobic
exercises, also commonly referred to as ‘cardio’, work your lungs and
muscles and increase your heart rate. Common forms of aerobic exercise
include walking at a fast pace, running, cycling, hiking, and swimming
among many others. At the gym, you can use a number of cardio machines
such as treadmill, stationary bike and elliptic machine.
- Strength
exercises: every kind of exercise aimed at strengthening a muscle or group
of muscles. This type of exercise will, of course, improve your strength
but will also stimulate bone growth and repair. You can train your lower
and upper body using different machines and equipment such as dumbbells,
kettlebells, barbells, squat racks, leg press and leg extension machines.
- Flexibility
exercises do exactly what it says on the tin: improve your flexibility and
gently stretch your muscles. Yoga and Pilates are amongst the most common
types of flexibility exercises. You can do yoga and Pilates at home, or book a class
here at Zedwell and be guided by some of the best instructors in London.
One thing is clear: exercise is good for you in so
many ways! But, if you want to stay consistent in your routine, you should find
an activity that you enjoy, make it fun, and convenient.
We may not be able to drag you out of bed and into a gym,
but we can help you with the other points: we offer so many different types of
exercise, that you are sure to find the one for you. And what more convenient
location than Piccadilly Circus, in the heart on central London?
We look forward to seeing you. Happy sweating!
