It’s hard to believe we are almost halfway through the year already, but with warm weather, blue skies and light evenings here to stay for the next few months I’m definitely happy it’s June already. I thought I would mark the start of a brand new month by sharing just a few things that I’ve been loving lately – not because I’ve been paid to, just because I genuinely love them, which hopefully means there will be something you love too!

“Boobs to Bar!” – definitely my phrase of the morning last Thursday and not something I was expecting to hear in a sweaty spin class – but perfect none the less! Last week I was invited by lingerie website Figleaves to try out a sports bra from their impressive online range in a spin class at the brand new Another Space studio in Bank. When super sassy instructor Olivia shouted at us to get our “Boobs to Bar” as we were dipping we may have laughed but it couldn’t have been more apt (and we definitely feel there’s an online campaign for Figleaves in there somewhere…!!)
I chose to try out the Freya Freestyle Soft Crop Sports Bra, but how did it stand up to this super intense workout?

Over the past couple of years, fitness has become much less of a routine necessity and much more of a lifestyle that extends way beyond the gym. Attending group workouts with friends has become the new drinks and dinner, avocado on toast and matcha lattes are on the menu at most local cafes and wearing activewear outside of the gym has become socially acceptable. Athleisure brands have spotted this trend, and gym clothes for women have come a long way from jogging bottoms and baggy t-shirts (and let’s not mention the leotard….) with more and more fashion brands launching an activewear range. The latest is British fashion brand Jack Wills (a company close to my heart seeing as they were founded in the West Country…. just like me!) who have designed an athleisurewear collection that is as stylish as it is functional – combining fitness and fashion. Check out the full collection here.

Whilst it may be easy to write off brands as “jumping on the bandwagon” of the fitness lifestyle trend, I see it a hugely positive thing that large companies not only acknowledge but also support the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, as opposed to a short-term solution.

I am so excited to be able to share the news with you that the brand new Lorna Jane UK website has just gone live – meaning you can now shop the entire Lorna Jane activewear collection from the comfort of your sofa – and even better immerse yourself in the incredible Move, Nourish, Believe ethos that Lorna Jane herself created. Not only that, but I’ve picked some of my favourite activewear pieces from the current collection – all of which you can now order via the website AND get 15% off all order until 23rd August to celebrate the long awaited launch!
But why am I so obsessed with this Australian activewear brand, and so excited about it’s official online launch here in the UK?

My social media followers will no doubt know by now that just over a month ago I started teaching my very own class at the brand new stunning studio space that is the Active Living Room at the Lorna Jane UK store in Covent Garden. This is hugely exciting for me personally, not least because Lorna Jane is hands-down my favourite fitness fashion brand, but also because this is my first regular group fitness class of my own creation. Yes I’ve been a fitness instructor for almost 8 years, but teaching pre-choreographed workouts (in the form of Les Mills Body Pump and Body Attack), so this is a very exciting opportunity for me to launch my own Wildcat Workout brand live in London!
But what can you expect from a Wildcat Fitness Total Body Strength Class at Lorna Jane UK?
