10th August 2010 > Leisure, Ooh.com StuffGroup personal training – are you mad?
13th May 2010 > Ooh.com Stuff, SportThe words ’strip fat and tighten muscle fast’, do they have me at hello? – nope.
Do they put the fear of god into me? – yes a little.
Is it a good idea? - probably. It’s really not that expensive to do, £84 for an 8 week course of group personal training, am I coming round to the idea … yes, but no, but, (actually that was just a twirl I did in my swivel chair).
Ok, I’m am getting into the idea… Imagine the possibilities – your body, a finely tuned machine of a thing – all toned and beautiful and ready for the summer…
D-Day – Detox regimes delivered to your door
5th May 2010 > Food, Leisure, Ooh.com StuffAfter a long weekend of BBQs and Pino Grigio in the UK, beer and “patat met” (fries and mayo) for Queens day in Holland, and with the Californians rolling around in burrito and tequila induced hangovers after Cinco de Mayo, it’s hard to ignore the groans coming from offices the world over.
So time to Carpe Diem – get your fingers out of the biscuit barrel and start thinking instead about a little detox and gentle heath regime to tide you over to the next long weekend of excesses.
Lets face it, who has the willpower to plan, shop, juice, and blend for themselves while distracted by things like life, ‘those jeans’ and pizza hut?
So three cheers for the clever folk who’ve packaged up the latest in fashionable detox: cleansing juices and raw foods delivered to your door – perfect for those without time for D.I.Y. juicing. > read more
Clucking good Hen party ideas
27th April 2010 > Leisure, Ooh.com StuffIt’s that time of year again… Hen party time. Which could mean it’s time to steer clear of the local street on a Friday night for fear of being trampled by L plated, winged, cow girls and she-devils as they sip vodka jelly and stuff fivers in passing boxer shorts.
But what’s this? NO NEED to fear the high street any more?
It’s true; there are plenty of ways to bond with fellow bridesmaids without resorting to re-creating a bad early 90’s Halloween party. Here are some top ideas:

Fit box, not easter egg box
5th April 2010 > Leisure, SportFight off the extra easter pounds with these Fit Box Boot Camps in London.

Scott Laidler and Victor Analuwa are two of London’s top personal trainers and they’ll be sure to put you through your fat-burning paces at these popular classes.

What’s so good about Fit Box?
- Fit Box Boot Camp neutralizes your stress, causing your fat hormones to “shut down” so you’ll stop storing fat, especially in your stomach, hips and thighs.
- Fit Box Boot Camp combines cardio, weights abs and kickboxing techniques all into one workout… You’ll save time by burning fat, toning muscle and getting a flat stomach all at once.
- You get the fat melting benefits of cardio while having fun, and you avoid boring gym machines.
- Scott and Victor say you’ll lose up to 6lbs of fat and drop a dress size in the first 2 weeks. That’s a lot of easter chocolate shifted.

Where and when?
Classes take place all over London – currently running in Primrose Hill, Battersea Park, Wandsworth Park/Putney and Maida Vale. Classes last 45 minutes and are held 3 times a week for 4 weeks.

The Ooh team gets “kicked” into shape
12th March 2010 > Leisure, Ooh.com Stuff, SportLast night the Ooh.com team ventured out to Hoxton in North London to get our sweaty hands in the boxing gloves at Kick Fitness by way of reviewing the whole setup. We were very pleasantly surprised.
Sophie, who set up Kick fitness after reaching black belt in Thai Kickboxing, welcomed us warmly to our trial class. She wrapped our hands in special binding cloth to prevent injuries from all the punching we’d be doing, then set us to work skipping to warm up.
Once warmed up, Sophie took us through some stretches and taught us some powerful Thai boxing elbow and fist attacks, which we practised together. (Not punching each other mind…)
Once we’d sussed the moves, we went into some pad punching to hone our skills. This was tough, but universally our favourite bit; time to work off some stress!
Sweaty but invigorated, Sophie’s trainees posed for a pic at the end of a tough but great fun session. The consensus the Ooh.com team reached is that Kick Fitness is a fantastic way to work out and about a hundred times more fun than the gym…
Sophie rounded off the session with some more stretches and some great advice about eating fruit immediately to restore our blood-sugar levels and then eating some protein when we got home to repair the damage we would have done to our muscles with the vigorous workout.
If you fancy trying your hand at a Kick Fitness session of your own (and we highly recommend you do) you can book yourself in here.
