F2 Collective is the stuff of Pilate princess dreams. Founded by an ex-advertising professional who swapped New York's corporate hustle for the fitness world, this studio delivers a next-level experience. The space itself is a mood-setter, think ambient lighting, energising music and (our favourite touch) mirrored disco balls. Their reformer machines leave most other studios in the dust. Each day of the week focuses on specific body areas and has a banging playlist to match. Every aspect of your visit is so thoughtfully curated, there’s a good chance you won’t want to leave.
INSIDER INTEL
