Morning Wire and London’s newest cutting edge fitness club LAX St Botolph’s have selected five City workers to join them on a five star fitness journey to hit their health goals over the next four months

LAX St Botolph’s is the city’s largest dedicated fitness club, where the latest fitness techniques and thinking are combined with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment and over 150 industry-leading classes a week.

LAX’s fresh approach to fitness centres around a passion to inform and educate its members on the finer points of exercise and nutrition. The club’s ground-breaking Learning Pod helps improve athletic performance by analysing body composition, helping members understand how to fuel and condition their body for maximum results.

Each has had their own body analysis and a full induction to create a personalised programme designed to motivate and inspire them to achieve their health and fitness goals. These range from losing weight, changing shape, toning up and building muscle. Their motivations range from a fast-approaching wedding to a trip to Thailand next year.

Zena, Robin, Selim, Eva and Andy will be guided by the specially trained LAX crew who will keep an eye on their programme, updating and refreshing it over the next few months to ensure it delivers the desired results. The group will also take part in the club’s unique small group training classes- LAX30™ and work on its dedicated functional training floor.

Follow their progress and support them online at our dedicated site www.cityam.com/laxfitness

There you’ll find weekly updates on the group’s highs and lows, plus lots of new fitness tips from LAX fitness manager Jennifer George.

LAX St. Botolph’s – the city’s largest dedicated fitness club – offers a five star fitness experience at only £69 a month. See for yourself at www.lax.co.uk
