Follow the Thames south-west out of London for around 8 miles, and you’ll come across the town of Richmond.
It’s difficult to find anywhere across the United Kingdom quite like Richmond, a town with everything from scenic protected waterfront views to conservation parks, wide-open spaces and some of the best architecture around.
There’s even a palace set amongst its many museums, galleries and theatres, built by Henry VII from which the town took its name.
A town that inspires wellbeing
Richmond enjoys around five times more green, open space than other London boroughs. Is it any surprise that it’s a hotbed for fitness and wellbeing?
Cycling, boating, running and a whole range of team sports such as cricket, rugby and polo are all popular throughout the year. There’s an incredible range of diverse, excellent quality gyms waiting to welcome people through their doors, whatever they are looking for…
Hussle have made sure that using them, enjoying them and getting the most out of them to improve fitness and wellbeing whilst working, travelling or simply during free time is easy.
Here are the best gyms in Richmond, London, all available on the Hussle platform and that you can visit using a Day Pass or a Monthly+ Pass.
