Access is from in the park, near the rugby pitch &#8211; you&#8217;ll see a large building with a big &#8216;gym&#8217; sign&#8230; follow the arrow! As you head down the steps you may ask yourself what you have signed up for &#8211; so let me tell you! The Bunker Gym is run by Dusty Hall who will probably greet you as you appear on&nbsp;the stairs and the first thing you will notice is that there is a very strong friendly community vibe here &#8211; everyone smiles and chats to each other. This is not a fash-pack&nbsp;gym filled with sideways glances or pretension. Come here if you want to workout, sweat and laugh.<\/p>\n<p>The Bunker Burnout sessions are the signature class taken by Dusty, Monday to Friday evenings &#8211; they are 90 minutes long (except Wednesday it is 60 mins and on Saturday it is a 12pm 120 minute Bootcamp class!) &nbsp;You can expect a whole mixture of body weight circuit work, sometimes some plates and weights may get included and always a good bit of boxing as well. Each session is different but guaranteed to make you sweat. There is also a yoga class on Wednesday&#8217;s at 6.30pm which I haven&#8217;t been to yet and Dusty also offers junior boxing on Tuesday and Thursday&#8217;s at 5.30pm. Once the evenings get lighter too classes may be held outside in the park (weather permitting) so you will be able&nbsp;to appreciate&nbsp;the&nbsp;longer summer evenings and still get your workout in!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">The Workout<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>I attended the Saturday bootcamp class which is a full 120 minutes full body workout, but honestly did not have a moment to think about the time or how long I had been working out for, as the class was well put together and slick, always doing different movements with&nbsp;lots of variation&nbsp;and the time just flew. We did a lot of body weight exercises after warming up and then we worked in pairs on core work. Just when you feel like you have completed a very decent workout Dusty laid out the boxing circuit which we went through&nbsp;twice to finish. I love boxing so I had a total renewed rush of energy for the first round of this circuit (the second I was def flagging!) but I loved it &#8211; each station you will either be punching a bag, doing pads with Dusty or even sitting on a bag and punching and elbowing it on the floor (this is so so fun I love it!) Throughout the music is blasting which always keeps me going! The energy of the class was high throughout, which I thought was really impressive for a 120 minute bootcamp and&nbsp;the atmosphere is very much we are all in it together, you won&#8217;t feel ashamed as your sweat drips on the floor as everyone else here works hard too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>I love the Bunker and will return without a shadow of a doubt. Dusty&#8217;s enthusiasm is totally infectious and you can&#8217;t help but feel like part of the Bunker family once you have worked out there even once! It is reasonably priced and a fantastic way to work on your fitness without breaking the bank. Also their membership gives you access to their weights gym as well as unlimited classes&nbsp;which is defintely a bonus!&nbsp;Last but not least, ladies &#8211; a lot of the local Kilburn rugby team train here too&#8230;. \ud83d\ude09 #justsayin<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/S0122821-1-1-e1460546116706.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3894\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/S0122821-1-1-e1460546116706-300x136.jpg\" alt=\"Version 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/S0122821-1-1-e1460546116706-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/S0122821-1-1-e1460546116706-768x347.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthylivinglondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/S0122821-1-1-e1460546116706-1024x463.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Who&#8217;s It For?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Anyone that&nbsp;is not afraid to get sweaty and looking for a friendly place to workout.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">How Much? <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">First class is free and then each class is \u00a37.
