New Ways To Enhance Your Exercise Recovery
The Functional Fitness Hub
Knees Up
The physical home of Your Friendly Runners, Knees Up was founded by two friends in early 2024 after their East London run club outgrew its local haunts. Now a fully-fledged fitness and recovery space, it blends group strength classes with cold water immersion, mobility sessions and breathwork. Already attracting activations from brands like adidas, On, and Hoka, Knees Up is fast becoming the functional fitness hub to know.

The Bespoke Body Fixers
Club Health
Founder Luis Ribeiro started Club Health when he couldn’t find the right rehab training to strengthen his patients’ bodies. A first of its kind in London, Club Health offers physio-led personal training, blending strength training and recovery into one holistic offering. Sessions are tailored to your needs – whether you’re nursing a niggle, overcoming an injury or want to optimise performance. The team uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess imbalances and create a bespoke programme that includes mobility work, deep tissue massage, assisted stretching and breathwork – a key yet often overlooked aspect of post-exercise healing.
