As the season of skimpy approaches, no one will disagree that lithe and summery trumps lumpy and wintry. But everyone will argue about the best way to get there.

We’re partial to the Lomax way. Founder Jonathan Lomax developed the effective and efficient (just two hours a week) weight training and cardio program at his personal training centre in Victoria. The new space has personalised training pods, a healthy cafe, yoga studio, massage/osteopathy practitioners and nutrition counselors.

Pay-as-you-go rates — designed for freelancers, not hedge-funders — are especially genius. Use a pod for £20, take a class for £25 or sign up for private training for £65. If you buy in bulk, rates drop to £10, £12.50 and £55, respectively.

Want to try it first? Lomax tweets one DIY workout daily. Further proving that great things come in tight packages.
