- Special Thanks go out to Jimmy Boogaloo and Ironlife.com for the following:

Gymbox in Holborn is home to London Pancrase, the place where Thai boxing is fused with submission

wrestling to induce utter exhaustion. As the name suggests, the gym is focussed on fight sports and combat

fitness, but also caters for a wide range of athletic activities, drawing together a diverse crowd of exercise-

hungry people.

One side of the gym is filled with treadmills and step machines for the cardio crew. There are at least 25 and

there never seems to be a shortage of people keen to get moving to the sounds of the live DJs, who boost

up the atmosphere. In a large side room, beyond the collective determination of the runners, is a superbly

kitted out weights room, with both machines and free weights.
