Wellness: New year, new you
share Maybe you’re starting 2025 by nurturing a new you, perhaps you’re continuing to care for your old self but with renewed enthusiasm, either way Canary Wharf is the place to help you be the best version of yourself this year.
From outside space to exercise and meditate, to fitness and wellbeing facilities for every goal, this is the place to find it. For those who feel most like themselves surrounded by nature, take your time to breathe in the fresh air at Eden Dock where you can watch aquatic islands, marine habitats, and art installations float by. You can also jog along the boardwalks and watch the wildlife go by at Wood Wharf, or stroll through the neighbourhood’s many parks and green spaces, from the verdant undercover world at Crossrail Place Roof Garden to the tree-filled tranquillity of Jubilee Park.
For indoor activities there’s everything from the Third Space gyms to a brand new Freedom Clinic reformer studio, and Ultimate Performance body transformation programs. You can even enhance your wellness journey with a vitamin boost at Get a Drip, sleep and mood treatments at Le Chalet Cryo, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg
World-class workouts at Wharf gyms and fitness facilities
If January were to have a symbol, it would probably be a gym membership card, but the age old stereotype about quickly cancelled resolutions doesn’t apply in Canary Wharf, because the fitness offering is on another level. From the original Los Angeles bootcamp at Barry’s to state-of-the-art Padel courts, brand new reformer Pilates, to a world of indoor sports and activities at In2Sports, here’s your chance to find what inspires you.
Luxury fitness at Third Space
There’s not one, but two Third Space gyms on the Wharf, one at Canada Square and the other at Wood Wharf on Charter Street. Both embody the brand’s luxury health club ethos, which has given it a reputation across Europe. At Canada Square, enjoy 100,000 square feet and three floors of gym and training space, including 210 classes per week and a 23-metre pool. Meanwhile, at Wood Wharf the space includes a gym, classes, a pool, spa, reformer Pilates, hot yoga and multi-functional workouts.
Team players at In2Sports
From volleyball to dodgeball, basketball to badminton, and other indoor sports, In2Sports is a purpose-built sports and leisure centre where you can enjoy group games and a world of classes.
