<p>If you like your gyms more swanky and less sweatbox, then <a href="https://themarlowclub.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Marlow Club</a> is your (gym)bag. The state-of-the-art cardio and weights machines are plushly laid out, plus there&#8217;s an outdoor area if you like your fitness en plein air, but without the mud. Need even more oxygen? There are up to five outdoor classes a day including barbells, functional fitness and Metcon (metabolic conditioning, combining strength and cardio). </p>

<p>Indoors there&#8217;s a fabulous Stages cycle studio, and a host of classes from the stretchy/mellow yoga type through pilates and hot yoga to circuits, body pump, abs and HIIT, with some fun combos – hot HIIT pilates anyone? There&#8217;s also a pool, sauna and steam room, and the health hub where you can book in with health practitioners, including a private GP, osteo, physio, nutrition etc. Earned a treat? Grab yourself a buddha bowl and flat white at the Lounge Café on site. </p>

<p>Just up the road in Marlow is another slice of fitness heaven: the <a href="https://www.leogym.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leo Gym</a>. You Marlow lot must be a lean bunch! This boutique gym is all about individualised training from its team of coaches; and community, with social events including paddleboarding, dog walks and competing in Hyrox competitions and the Crossfit Games. </p>

<p>There is a state-of-the-art gym and a host of classes, held in the gym space. These include Metcon (it&#8217;s all the rage darling!), Strong barbell classes, HYROX Engine cardiovascular-focused classes and HYROX Strength as well as women&#8217;s weight lifting and Sweat cardio and weight classes. There are two treatment rooms offering physiotherapy, osteopathy, and nutrition consultations, and the Protein Bar with coffee, smoothies and takeaway snacks. We&#8217;re also loving the changing rooms supplied with Bamford products and Dyson hair dryers. You&#8217;ll have earned it!</p>

Fear not – there are also low-impact classes, barre, yoga, mat and reformer pilates and a <a href="https://www.fitlife.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fitlife</a> running club.</p>

<p>Events include dance sessions, treks and runs if you want to be part of the community, plus there&#8217;s small group training so you&#8217;ll get plenty of support and motivational kicks up the backside. The aim – to come out looking as buff as gorgeous owners Steve and Jess (above). </p>

<p>OK, so you&#8217;ll need to book an overnighter or go full blow-out and get membership, but you&#8217;ll earn the right to workout amid the finest bods in the Cotswolds at the <a href="https://www.sohohouse.com/houses/soho-farmhouse/gym" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Soho Farmhouse Health Club</a>. Cycle classes are big here, with house music soundtracks or competitive rides, then there&#8217;s pilates, yoga, HIIT, dance and tone classes. </p>

<p>But that&#8217;s not really the USP here – it&#8217;s the jaw-dropping indoor/outdoor pool, tennis courts, ozone sauna, steam room and onsen-style sunken hot tubs. Plus, of course, the post-workout treatment opportunities at the Cowshed spa and cold-pressed juices at The Legbar café. Time to invest in some Lululemon.</p>
