From the son of Fitness First owner Mike Balfour comes 1Rebel, the hipster exercise joint that brands itself as the ‘anti-gym’. The two London sites offer artfully dishevelled-cum-industrial chic interiors that divide into two rooms: one for spinning and one for ‘reshape’. Expect crowds of cooler-than-thou twenty-somethings.
