New Beginnings with January Wellness
Start the year as you want to go on in Canary Wharf.
January is known as the time of year where the overindulgence of the festive season morphs into a renewed sense of enthusiasm for gym routines and healthy eating. However, with the right support and inspiration, that health kick can be so much more than a New Year’s resolution – it can be the start of a new and improved lifestyle.
In Canary Wharf you will find everything you need for a fresh and healthy start to 2024. Find the sports and fitness activities that best suit you, get the kit, the nutrition and the wellness advice to make sure you are living your best life without compromise.
From morning workouts and walks to work, to dinner with friends, massages, facials, physio and time in nature; Canary Wharf activities across the estate invite you to discover everything you could ask for to nurture your wellness journey in January and beyond.
Wharf workouts
Fitness in Canary Wharf has been inspired by the best in the world, from professional boxers to the Hollywood A-list. Work up a sweat at Barry’s – Los Angeles’ original indoor boutique bootcamp, rumoured to have been favoured by the likes of David Beckham, Harry Styles, Ellie Goulding and Guy Ritchie. Push your body to its limits at Sweat by BXR, inspired by stakeholder and champion boxer Anthony Joshua. Experience the height of luxury health clubs at Third Space Canary Wharf, where you can lose yourself in 100,000 square feet and three floors of Canary Wharf gym and training space. Or be amongst the 25,000 people who firmly believe in Ultimate Performance as ‘the best personal training experience on the planet’, dedicated to maximum results, minimum time, whatever your personal goals.
Wind down in style
After working out, wind down to support mind, body and soul with beauty salons in Canary Wharf, as well as Canary Wharf spa and wellness experiences that are second to none. Wellness industry disruptors Get A Drip are on hand to boost those vitamin levels with a bespoke drip to optimise health and performance. Make sure to take care of those hard working muscles and avoid an injury with a one-on-one assisted stretch at Stretch Inc with the help of a dedicated ‘stretchologist’. Maximise that healthy glow of yours with a facial at Weather and Palette Skincare Atelier, where they address any concerns, support your skin through the seasons and enhance your natural beauty through long-term skin health. Transform your daily home routine for optimum wellness, turning the simple things like a warm bath into a meaningful experience, with beautiful face and body care from Rituals. Then face the world feeling your very best with a little extra empowerment from Bobbi Brown – the make-up designed to enhance individual beauty.
Peak performance
To get the best results from health and fitness routines, we know we need to support mind and body beyond our workouts. Across the Canary Wharf Estate there’s a host of experts ready and waiting to make sure you have what you need to operate at peak performance, whether it’s fighting fit for the working day ahead, recovering from a sports injury or maximising your stamina for that next Ironman triathlon. For example, Randox Health offers a range of personalised, private health programmes to maximise your health now and in the future, covering everything from hormonal wellness to nutrition. Freedom Clinics in Canada Place offer everything from osteopathy to help with poor posture from sitting at a desk, to physiotherapy, acupuncture, massages, private GP services and more. Leading the charge on enhanced sports performance, Le Chalet Cryo offers Whole Body Cryotherapy for sports recovery, reducing inflammation and preventing injuries, as well as boosting the immune system and rejuvenating the skin. Of course, with your teeth being fundamental to everything from your digestion to your cardiac health, Malmin Dental is the new state-of-the-art clinic providing a full range of general and specialist dental treatments under one roof.
Fuelling fitness with healthy eating
From post workout nutrition to dinner that nurtures mind, body and soul, and from gut health to energy levels, what we eat has a powerful impact on how we feel. There’s no need to compromise on wellness to have a great evening out dining, and just because you’re in a rush in the morning doesn’t mean you can’t have the best fuel to start your day with the array of places to eat in Canary Wharf. For plant powered goodness all day long, head to atis in Canada Place or mallow in Wood Wharf. Enjoy feel good vibes from dawn ’til dusk at Caravan on Reuters Plaza, whether you fancy toast with a twist in the morning, bowls of grains or sourdough pizza throughout the day. For healthy grab-and-go meals, it’s hard to beat Farmer J, The Salad Kitchen or tantalising wraps from Kaleido, and proving there’s more to healthy food places than salads, discover hand-made noodles, kake-dashi broth and Japanese favourites at MarugameUdon.
Feel-good fashion
Look the part, but perhaps more importantly, get the kit that will help you maximise those health and fitness goals this year, from performance boosting gym gear and footwear that will help prevent injuries and maximise your sporting experiences, to the post-workout clothing that will keep you feeling comfy, stylish and like your best self. For athleisure and fitness fashion, you will find everything you need in Canary Wharf. ASICS is the one-stop-shop in Jubilee Place for all your running shoes and clothing, while Lululemon is a favourite for technical athletic clothes for yoga, running and working out in style. Whether you want to lift, stretch or sweat it out in a spin class, Sweaty Betty is the womenswear specialist known for keeping everything in place. Meanwhile, JD Sports is for men and women with a diverse range of sporting interests, home to all the brands and everything you need whether you want to play tennis or train for the London Marathon.
Outdoor inspiration
One of the best things we can do for our health and wellbeing is to spend time in nature. Get outside, breathe in the fresh air and even spend a little time walking barefoot on the grass (did you know it’s referred to as ‘earthing’ or ‘grounding’ and it’s a great way to reduce inflammation and boost mental and physical health?). For a moment of mindfulness, whether it’s practising yoga in the park, enjoying a quiet walk along the water or having lunch under the trees, spending time outside is essential for our overall wellbeing, and Canary Wharf is brimming with beautiful outdoor spaces ready and waiting to give you a moment of calm. For example, Jubilee Park is a tree-filled haven that’s won a Green Flag Award for its lawns and leafy greens, where you can sit and admire sculptural artworks or simply watch the world go by. Harbour Quay is the perfect place for waterside wandering along the boardwalk – it’s perfect for a lunchtime jog or for a picnic in the summer months. Then again, Crossrail Place Rooftop Garden is ideal whatever the weather. A meandering, covered garden filled with exotic plants and located almost exactly on the Meridian line, it’s a tropical escape at any time of year.
