The Engine Room has been the talk of the town in the run-up to the launch. We’re proud to have been featured in a number of leading publications.
London Evening Standard, Monday, September 3rd
Extremely pleased to announce that the opening of The Engine Room was featured both in print and online for top tier title, The Evening Standard as part of a round-up in an article titled ‘The best new fitness classes in London this autumn’. The inclusion states: “The Engine Room is the first — opening in a converted church in Marylebone on September 18 and destined to become a hub for London’s most ambitious amateur athletes. No wonder — rowing is a highly efficient workout. Research by British Rowing finds that it uses 85 per cent of the body’s muscles across nine major muscle groups while burning upwards of 300 calories in 30 minutes. It’s low-impact and conditions the whole body without stressing it out. Engine Room’s founder, Chris Heron, is a formidable machine himself who has a background in boxing, gymnastics and elite personal training. The programmes he’s devised are no punt around a boating lake.” Please see more information on The Engine Room here.
