New to West London is OPUS, the fitness studio that promises science-led training with impeccable consistency and attention to detail. The H&H team have tried and tested this promise and can verify they passed with flying colours. OPUS is the perfect spot for those who are looking to be monitored closely to ensure their technique is on point! Each class is engaging and full of energy, leaving you flying high with endorphins. As well as group classes, OPUS offers personal training sessions where they build a tailored programme to will help you achieve your fitness potential.

 

In three words…
Methodical, targeted, meticulous

Who is it for?
There really is something for everyone at OPUS, whether you’re a cardio junkie or a low impact kinda person, they’ve got you covered. All the specialised classes are categorised from intermediate to advanced, so you know what you’re getting yourself in for!

What makes it different?
Each class only allows for up to 8 people, meaning the instructor can fully pay attention to everybody in the room to ensure their form is correct throughout. This is something that is so important during exercise and when classes are packed with up to 30 people, it’s nearly impossible for the instructor to make sure everyone is following the right technique, which often leads to injury. So essentially, they’re like a PT session with group class prices!

Why we love it?
The diverse range of classes, as mentioned before there is something for everyone and some of the classes are super unique. For example, Isolate (see below for full description) targets your muscles like never before. It teaches you to use your body and equipment with such accuracy that really gets into those stubborn areas like your hips and inner thighs!
