Kensington Gym
A PREMIUM FITNESS SPACE IN KENSINGTON, DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE, RECOVERY, AND LONG-TERM WELLNESS.
A New Standard in Training & Recovery
Discovering the right gym in Kensington means more than choosing a space with free weights or a general fitness space. Commercial gyms provide access to basic equipment but fail to go the extra mile and cater to those looking to place a long-term focus on their wellness.
At The Body Lab, we integrate elite-level training, expert coaching, and advanced recovery solutions to create a gym environment tailored for performance, longevity, and results. Our approach is centred around the support of our members, helping them achieve their goals, whether that's building strength, enhancing endurance, or optimising recovery. This seamless training experience, backed by science, allows our coaches to use advanced performance methodologies and our members to leverage state-of-the-art fitness and recovery technology. From the moment you step inside, you gain access to a structured environment that ensures efficiency, progress, and long-term success.
Recovery & Performance – The Secret to Maximising Your Training
True fitness progression is not solely about training intensity but also about how well the body recovers. Recovery is integrated into everything we do, from fitness programmes to supporting service offerings. We've created the perfect environment where our members can push themselves to and past their limits without compromising long-term health.
Our recovery options include physiotherapy, massage therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, floatation therapy, and red light therapy. Each modality has its own benefits, allowing you to recover in a way that is most enjoyable.

Our members benefit from equipment from world-leading brands, expert-led personal training, and industry-leading recovery services, packaged seamlessly to focus on long-term progression and optimal recovery and ensure each moment in the gym is used effectively.
You can find the best way to train through guided, bespoke training programs, one-on-one classes, and member events while benefiting from supporting recovery options like HBOT, Float, Cryo, and more.
Additionally, our wellness club environment makes training inviting, setting the tone for each workout while minimising distractions. Follow your training with a relaxing stop in our member's lounge, a recovery therapy of your choice, or converse with other like-minded members.
Strength, Conditioning & Functional Training
Every gym can facilitate strength and conditioning training through the general availability of equipment. That said, these often lack more guided options. The Body Lab and our Kensington gym are built around a structured, progressive methodology ensuring continuous improvement. Strength training is at the core of our approach, focusing on progressive overload to build lean muscle, enhance endurance, and improve overall physical resilience. Rather than relying on generic workouts, our coaches develop personalised plans that consider individual biomechanics, allowing members to move efficiently and train effectively.
Functional training also plays a key role in optimising movement quality. By incorporating mobility exercises, balance work, and dynamic stability drills, we ensure that members gain strength and improve coordination and injury resistance. This provides members from all walks of life and experience levels with everything they need to optimise their well-being and quality of life.

Our gym is outfitted with state-of-the-art strength and conditioning machines, each selected for its ability to optimise biomechanics and support progressive training methods. Unlike conventional gym setups, our facility is designed with an emphasis on efficiency, precision, and results.
In addition to training equipment, our recovery tools are sourced from industry-leading brands to provide members with the most advanced muscle recovery solutions available. Whether using our cryotherapy chambers, compression therapy devices, or high-performance strength machines, members train with the same tools professional athletes use.
