Friskis & Svettis London-Swedercise - West End, Central YMCA

Welcome to Friskis&Svettis, the Swedish fitness revolution with more than 500,000 members across Europe. We run fun-filled, sweaty and exhilarating ‘Swedercise’ classes in central London and have done so since 2005. Friskis&Svettis roughly translates as ‘Healthy&Sweaty’ in Swedish and was established as a non-profit organisation in Stockholm in 1978 to promote an active lifestyle through fun and high-quality workout classes. Known as jympa in Sweden, the Swedercise workout is based on the idea that exercise should be fun and easy to do. Classes are conducted in a circle to create an inclusive group dynamic with a positive energy. The music is catchy and the movements are natural and easy to follow even after one class, which makes it rewarding, fun and addictive from day one, inspiring more and more Londoners to get moving! The class is fun, inclusive and effective and has been developed in cooperation with experts in the fields of medicine and physiology on the basis of scientific research. A Swedercise Medium class integrates all the essential elements of physical training such as warm-up, flexibility, strength, stamina, cool-down and relaxation. A Swedercise Intensive class includes all the same parts as the Medium classes but with a higher intensity, more challenging strength exercises and explosive jumps. So if you want to challenge yourself and your training this class is perfect for you! They workout at the Central YMCA in Studio 2! Look out for the Friskis logo and those red leggings or tops and meet the hosts and instructors in the foyer to register for the class!
