Fitter Londoner of The Week

John Fidoe!

John joined us earlier this year and nothing matches his determination and strength. He started the classes with a 12kg to master his kettlebell technique and now the lightest Kettlebell you'll see him with is a 20kg (for swings or military presses!).

John's the one who swings the 24kg KB like it weighs nothing, he's one of the strongest but also one of the first to collapse onto his back in time for stretching (yes John this is Adura, lol)

Keep Up The Good Work John :)

1. Why Fitter London?
Combination of factors: variety of classes, the fact that it's group sessions and not just the gym on my own, the atmosphere is great (i.e. the people running the classes and the other people there) and lastly convenience for work - I'm a ten minute walk away! Oh and I knew Matt from rugby and that's why I came down in the first place!

2. What's your favourite thing about Fitter London?
Two things from the list above - the variety and the people!

Fitter Londoner of The Week

Charlotte O'Brien!!!

Charlotte's been a Fitter Londoner for just over a year now and it feels like we've known her forever (in a good way of course!). We've all seen a huge change in her strength, fitness and physique which is all down to her dedication.

She's such a regular now that a class without Charlotte feels incomplete. She's a huge Fitter London supporter/campaigner (which you'll see from her reponses below, haha!).

Who doesn't love Charlotte? She's very easy on the eyes ;-) And has such a bubbly personality, everyone warms to her immediately.

If you're a Fitter London newbie, make a beeline to Charlotte and she'll be your best friend by the end of the class.

Keep being you Char!

Kettle bells – dare I say I am addicted to them.

Constant variety, which means you never know what to expect.

Anyone can expect a high intensity fun workout , which makes you feel energised for the day :)

Show Me Your Exercise Face...

I’ve given up on trying to look presentable when I train…. There’s just no hope for me. I sweat like a MAN... and although some may say I am as strong as a man ;-). I think I don’t look like one (shut up Matt!). Also, I’m always the first to give up, my excuse used to be I have no endurance but now I know I’m just lazy!

Keris, cutie pie that she is, has the most ridiculous workout face – she looks scary (This picture is more like her singing face - she can't sing!)

but honestly she is cute:

Matt is special when he trains… he has to be “in the zone” so ignores anyone who talks to him during his training sessions… or maybe that’s just me? And when he’s training as part of a class… that’s a whole other story *ahem*

Katie… I wish I could say a bad word about how she looks when she’s training but I couldn't even if I tried. She sweats like I dream of sweating (yuck that reads wrong). She has the sheen we see in magazines and adverts, making exercise look very attractive. Aaaarrggggh!!! Why not me!?


Monica made me laugh during the Tuesday evening Kettlebell Bootcamp – she had this serious look of concentration on her face, haha! Usually she just looks adorable.

Don’t get me started on Jonathan – he looks picture perfect all the d**n time! Even when he’s sweating buckets, his hair is still in place.

Phill, haha! During Keris’ Kettlebell Class on Thursday morning, at one point he was bright red in the face, huffing and puffing while doing seesaw presses. I couldn’t help it – I burst out laughing! Luckily I wasn’t taking part in the class, else I’d have dropped a kettlebell on my head!

Other sweaty Fitter Londoners...

Sweatyyyyy Paul: No he didn't empty a bucket of water all over himself ;-)

Dreamy Jack: Why should anyone look this beautiful especially while training?!?!?!?

Mr Triceps... Chris!

John, new addition to the Fitter London family but he's here to stay :)


Martyn (who's my nomination for the next Fitter Londoner of the week):


And... cheeky Martin!

I love this picture of the girls:


There are many pictures where these came from, so if you think you escaped - your picture will most likely be up next time ;-)
