Good Vibes Fitness

Nice fitness centre with a decent selection of classes and very friendly staff.

I go here exclusively for the glow yoga classes, which are the best I have experienced. The studio is just gorgeous with exposed brickwork and soft lighting- I leave in a state of complete contentment and calm. Staff are efficient and welcoming, the yoga instructors really know their stuff, and are prepared to take the time to ensure you are getting the most out of the pose you are perfecting (downward dog is something I feel confident about now, whereas I used to end up shaking like a leaf after 30 seconds because I was locking up in my shoulders). Brilliant!!

Good Vibes offers powerplate, spinning, yoga and Pilates classes in a warm, welcoming environment.

The Glow Yoga studio in the basement of the Covent Garden location is quite simply the best yoga studio I have been to in London. The teachers are all incredibly knowledgable (I especially like the specialist classe for Runners and Cyclists) and really help you to get the most out of your workout without turning the class into an over-competitive stretching session. I always leave feeling recharged, rejuvenated and completely blissed out!

Best place I have been to in London to practice Yoga  - the 7.30am classes are great as you can go before work and its a wonderful environment to be in first thing in the morning!  Its a wonderful, warm room with fab teachers who guide & push you in a positive & nurturing way - each one different in their own style.
I can't recommend it highly enough - if you love Yoga, come to Good Vibes!!

Love this place. Really bespke class, and I cant live without powerplating. I do not lie that my botttom seems to be made of steel, the spin classes are the most intensive I have ever done. I am seeing results and love the routines. This is an expensive option, but well worth if you get excited at the prospect of going!

I've started Glow Yoga through Groupon and quickly became hooked. It is the best yoga I have done so far and I've done many. The studio is clean, smells great, the mats are clean, it is nice and warm, the teachers know what they are doing, classes vary in content (forget the smelly, torturous and repetitive Bikram! this is soooo much better). And of course you must try a class with Nahid, she is fantastic, knows so much about yoga, truly the best!

Good Vibes is the place to exercise if you are looking for a fun and brilliant workout but don't have much time on your hands. I love the Spincycle classes as you get a fantastic cardio workout in just 30-45 mins, however they also offer Power Plates and Glow Yoga sessions. The times fit really well around my work schedule (especially the lunchtime classes) and the staff are all lovely and very accommodating.

“I love it that there is no sweaty hair and no running mascara to deal with. I am on that Plate, toned and jiggled and back at my desk before anyone notices”

Completely addicted with Powerplate classes and Spinning at their other location in Fitzrovia, 45 minutes of spinning is fantastic cardio and all the trainers are fantastic with each participant, plus powerplate classes are stangely addictive as they really do work your entire body! and everyone can fit 25 minutes into their day!

I am a total Power Plate addict. I'm amazed by how quickly I've seen results. After five sessions, I could see nice defined abs. Now, I've always had fairly decent abs, but never the vaguely sculpted ones that you see on truly toned bodies, but, after several sessions, I swear I could see the beginning of those dream lines.

No, I won't show them off to you even if you ask nicely.

Other than the results, Good Vibes is a nice, friendly and professional studio. The trainers make sure you're going at the level that's right for you, even if there's more than one person in the class. The receptionist - Rachel - is very nice and friendly and always has a smile on her face. Also, there's always a nice pot of hot mint tea that I take full advantage of whenever I go to a session.

Good Vibes also offers advanced classes such as Powerplining (combining Power Plate and trampolining), Speed Power Plate and PowerBox (combining Power Plate and boxing, my personal favourite).

I’m a powerplate addict. It actually works and only takes 25 minutes and that includes a leg massage by the machine at the end which is great.
I am a typical pear shape - complete with chunky thighs - so I was really surprised after only about 8 sessions that my legs looked longer and more toned than I ever remember and my stomach was much flatter. During the sessions themselves holding some of the poses can be a bit challenging but as it’s only for 1 minute you can generally power through.
The studio is colourful and all the teachers teach slighly differently so it doesn’t get repetitive.
Two warnings though. For the first few times you might not feel it that much at the time but the next day will probably hurt (walking down stairs went ow for a few days for me)and don’t make the mistake I did once and go with a hangover. After a night of tequila funnily enough being vibrated is not the best feeling in the world…

I’m not kidding when I say that after half an hour on this lovely wobbly plate thing, my legs and body felt more toned than they had in ages - the kind of feeling you get after 5 times down the gym and you know you’re on to a good thing. The difference being that I had hardly done anything, I’d done a few squats on a plate! It’s really incredible and such a cool idea, that you can just pop down here for half an hour in your lunch time or after work and get fit without really needing to do too much! Love the whole vibe of 'good vibes’ - such a nice place and they have studios across London. The bikini bootcamp course is such a good idea, great for anyone wanting to banish celluite the easy way and get those pins out on holiday! The ski fit course is perfect for getting ready to tackle the slopes if you’ve not been keeping fit all year. It’s basically a cheats way to getting in shape and how brilliant is that! Great way to keep fit alongside other exercise (or just on its own if you’re really lazy). Best to book so not to be disappointed.

Claudia Schiffer swears by this and Madonna is said to won one and swears that it is wonderful.PowerPlate is a vibrating exercise platform that promises fast track firming in half the time that is spent at the gym class. At Good Vibes exercising is easy as the classes are small-only 5 in class and they are all run by experienced trainers. The half hour session costs 20.00 includes warm up,stretches and limbering up.The machine is very good to workout on as the continual vibration of the machine (about 30-40 times a second ) causes the muscles to contract at the same speed and there fore makes them work harder.
