I tried London’s most expensive workout (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello everyone. People who workout regularly know this to be true: fitness classes should be categorised as luxury goods. Reformer costs £28; Barry’s is £25. In New York, classes are generally $40, unless it’s at Forma, where a single session will set you back $75. If classes are your primary source of exercise and you do PAYG, you could spend £100-130 ($130-170) per week on your workouts. In a month, the net-spend on Pilates could get you the following items: a pair of Saint Laurent sunglasses

Hello everyone. I’ve got an exclusive interview with Brice from Satisfy for you this week, which I’ve been sitting on since my trip to Paris—I was the first person through the door of its new store in the Marais.

My tan is the best it’s ever been, and I’ve gotten so used to wearing my multi-coloured track shorts and a tank top on repeat that I genuinely have no idea what I’m going to wear when I finally accept the fact that summer is over.Every morning, I wake up and one of the first things I do is open my balcony doors. This morning was the first time in a really long time that I opened them and felt cold<spa

Read excerpt
Hello everyone. It’s 4am on Tuesday, and I cannot sleep. Yesterday, a piece of work was blatantly plagiarised by a floating-head “brand strategist” on Instagram. The story was about women’s golf, which I co-wrote with Beyond—a women-owned insights studio which conducted extensive global research in the field. Our angle was that it was the next Pilates.
