Gymbox

By Alex Fallowfield, Search Executive in Company News |Latitude People

Summer spread setting in? Not in our office! At Latitude London we’ve been given the opportunity to pump our guns with the best of them down at Gymbox in Covent Garden courtesy of the company.

Sheepishly skulking around the intricate maze of stairs and levels on my first visit I almost keeled over when I saw the original Mr Orlando Bloom (of elfish origin) doing some work on his own weapons of mass destruction. I almost fainted from excitement but quickly regained my cool (ahem) to continue my workout.

Moving swiftly on, the gym itself is awesome with regular classes like Samba Grooves, Rave aerobics (with glow sticks no less) and Fight Club as standard. The live DJ ensures that there is a banging beat to sweat it out to and there is an abundance of technical equipment to twist and contort you body into its potential.

This has gone down a storm in the office and has helped to encourage more employees to get fit and active (healthy body, healthy mind and all that Jiu Jitsu).
