TEN’s philosophy is based on nurturing the body, helping you to feel longer, leaner and more aligned after every visit.

KOBOX Waterloo
KOBOX has got to be one of London’s trendiest boxing studios. A far cry away from your spit and sawdust style boxing club, KOBOX is where fight club meets nightclub! Opening its doors in Waterloo, KOBOX’s fifth location will bring the same energy and good vibes that the studio is renowned for. Sticking with their signature 50-minute high-intensity classes, the session is broken down into two parts; the first half will focus on a 6-punch boxing combination and the other half you’ll be working up a sweat with a range of functional training exercises. Whether you fancy yourself as the next AJ or you’re a complete newbie to boxing, all are welcome at KOBOX, what matters is the hard work you put in!

KARVE
Fancy working out like a New Yorker? KARVE is the luxury loft style studio, inspired by the Big Apple! Utilising the Reformer, KARVE’s signature high-intensity, low-impact ‘Transformer Pilates’ will teach new training methods. With Pilates at its core, the 50-minute class is designed to ‘karve’ both the body and mind through building slow-twitch muscle fibres to increase body strength and drive the metabolism. The resistance-based movements will be amplified to ensure transformational results, hence why they call it Transformer Pilates! KARVE’s finishing touch involves five minutes of endorphin-fuelled mindfulness and breath work at the end of the session to unwind and take a moment before heading back into our busy lives. The studio is by far one of London’s most trendy locations, with dim lighting throughout, interiors that give contemporary NY apartment vibes, soundtracked by an eclectic playlist, KARVE have nailed the atmosphere. Equally the quality of the classes are second to none, we certainly felt the burn the next day and are hungry for more of what KARVE has to offer!
