Bodyism – 222 – 224 Westbourne Grove, London, W11 2RH

Bodyism is a fairly new gym on Westbourne Grove that is built on the site of the old Post Office. It is one of the hottest places to be seen right now and one of the most difficult gyms to get into. In fact as soon as it opened it had to suspend membership for two months because of the sheer volume of applications, and with clients such as Emilia Clarke, Lara Stone and David Beckham reportedly attending it’s understandable why.

The attached café which is called the Clean and Lean Café is the first area of the building you walk into and you can go in there and eat delicious clean, healthy food, have a shake or try their coffee, which is apparently one of the best cups of coffee you can get!

Their food philosophy is “be kind to yourself” and everything on the menu has a health benefit to it which they call ‘nutritional nuggets’. The menu is not only gluten free, but also free from refined sugars and around 90% organic. This is to fit with their ethos of providing unprocessed, seasonal food that is delicious, and to finally put an end to the myth that healthy food can’t taste good too!

They have shakes with names such as ‘Body Brilliance’ and ‘Berry Burn’ and their black coffee blended with organic butter and coconut oil has everyone talking, saying it is the best coffee they’ve ever tasted and worth its £3.50 price tag.

Even just going in there to breathe is good for you because they’ve installed air filters that boost the level of oxygen in the building and there’s also special lighting that emits vitamin D!
They’re open Monday – Friday 7am to 7pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 6pm, so whether you’re popping in for a coffee on your way to work, or fancy brunch after your weekend yoga session you’ll be able to take advantage of their delicious offerings.
