No lumps of fat or gristle

There's no two ways about it. If you want a more toned body, you're going to have to work at it, because it's all a question of burning more calories than you eat and drink. But provided you don't go crazy, these tips will help you get a body you can enjoy.

'I want to burn some calories...'

Try one of our calorie burner classes like LA Spin. It's an indoor cycle workout that works your major muscle groups and helps you use a mighty wedge of calories every time. You'll still have to watch out for the cream cakes, though.

'I want muscles people can see...'

Muscles only get toned if you use them. That's why LA Fitness offers a range of classes to help you work all your major muscle groups. Take Body Pump - a great introduction to resistance workouts, using barbells and dumbbells. You (and everybody else) will soon see the difference.

'Can anyone tell me what's best for my body?'

Our fully qualified professionals are always the best people to talk to about any aspect of toning your body. When you join, they'll help you devise a personal programme that meets your goals and they'll help you keep it up to date as your membership continues, so that you've always got a target to aim at.

'I want to work on all my body at the same time...'

Swimming uses all the muscles in your body, so it's a great way to 'cheat' and tone everything up at the same time. By using a float, you can focus on the bottom or top half of your body separately. And if you want a refreshing challenge, then our LA water aerobic class is an ideal way to tone up.
