Christmas fitness classes to sign up to including barre, boxing and pilates
Move over Ministry of Sound, nightclubs are so 2019.
These days it’s all about sweating it out over squats and burpees, with endorphins running high, like-minded people encouraging you, music pumping out and zero hangovers.
Or fitness fans take it to the barre with sculpting balletic exercises.
But what if these workouts had a festive twist?
Here is our round-up of the fitness destinations offering the best Christmas party- style classes.

Fitness First The 12 Workouts Of Christmas
To keep members active and navigate the over-indulgence of the Christmas period, the fitness centre has devised a simple but fun workout programme consisting of four workouts, four classes and four challenges in December (which includes hitting 4,216 miles per club — the distance from London to the North Pole).
These are designed to be followed either in or out of the gym, to help people mix things up in their workout, or try something new.
You can enter your score in the app to see where you stand on the leaderboard and have some friendly competition (and perhaps flirting) with others.
