Paola’s Body Barre

With a reputation for that all-important burn factor, Paola’s Body Barre offers some of the most sought-after exercise classes in London. The PBB team run their Pilates classes live over Zoom for around 45 minutes – you can find instructions of how to book and join here – and ask that you have a mat, resistance bands and some hand weights (aka a few tins of baked beans from the back of your cupboard) on hand. Alternatively, you can catch up on classes on demand via the new PBB app, which you can download here. Classes are also pre and post natal inclusive, so anyone can join.

Whatever floats your boat.
