3Tribes: The Ultimate Gym in London for Fitness Enthusiasts

Most London gyms are built around the same two things: a floor of machines and a rack of weights. That suits plenty of people but it leaves a gap for anyone who gets bored repeating one kind of session. A training week looks very different when strength work and cardio and mobility and recovery all sit on the same timetable.

Our studios

We run three studios across Crouch End and Borough and each one has its own mix of classes. Studio 1 on Coleridge Road is our original hot yoga space with Hot Yoga and Hot Pilates and Hot Flow and Arm Balances. Studio 2 on Crouch End Hill covers Warrior and Rider and Reformer and Barre. Borough has hot yoga and hot Pilates and Barre and Arm Balances alongside Lift and Run Club. Our memberships work across all three so you can build a week from whichever classes you like.

Strength and conditioning

Warrior is 50 minutes of full body interval training and it’s one of the most intense sessions on our timetable. Lift is a pure weights class with no cardio and a limited capacity so your coach can correct your form and help you find the right intensity. Beginners and experienced lifters both use it and the coaches adjust the load for each person in the room.

Heat and mobility

Hot yoga is where we started. The combination of mindful stretching and a heated room has been shown to support mental and physical wellbeing and we supply everything you need so you only bring clothes you don’t mind sweating in. Our guide to the benefits of hot yoga goes through what regular practice can do for flexibility and stress.

Hot Pilates adds resistance work to the heat with plenty of focus on alignment. If you’re curious how it differs from a standard class our hot Pilates guide explains what happens from the first minute to the cool-down. Hot Flow is a fluid yoga class where the teacher designs each sequence and Arm Balances is a skills class that focuses on one arm balance or inversion every month.

Cardio and core

Rider is our take on indoor cycling and it goes well beyond a standard spin class. It mixes choreography and jumps and sprints and hand-held weights and we provide the clip-in cycling shoes. Reformer works on core strength and flexibility and posture through controlled and fluid movements. Barre is inspired by classical ballet and uses small muscle groups to build core strength and overall tone without much impact on the joints.

Balancing hard days and easy days

A varied timetable makes it easier to look after your body. A tough Warrior session on Monday sits well next to a Hot Flow class on Tuesday and a Reformer session later in the week. The mix keeps your training interesting and it gives you a reason to turn up on the days motivation is low because you know the next class won’t feel like the last one.

Our hot classes aren’t suitable for anyone who is pregnant or has a cardiovascular or blood pressure or blood sugar condition. If that applies to you then talk to us before booking.

Who trains here

All levels are welcome and the coaches offer modifications so a first class doesn’t feel like a test. Some of our members have trained with us for more than ten years and many of them say the community is the main reason they stay. We’re open from early morning to late evening seven days a week so it’s easy to fit a class around work.

Memberships and class packs

You can start with an intro offer for new clients or buy a class card or move to a membership once you know how often you’ll train. Everything is on our class and membership page and the options cover all three studios. A good way to find your mix is to book three different classes in your first week such as Warrior and hot yoga and Barre and then keep the two you enjoyed most.
