Restaurant Review – Lobster Kitchen

Situated just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, Lobster Kitchen is a Shell Fish haven taking its inspiration from the lobster Shacks popular in Maine, New England. The menu considers of lobster served in a number of ways and to kick of my tasting session sampled the Asian style Lobster Roll. Beautifully cooked pieces of claw and knuckles meat…

Slightly angsty

Sherlock: What if something goes wrong? 

Molly: We are in a hospital full of doctors. We will be fine.  

Sherlock: What if she has two heads? 

Molly: Pretty sure we would have seen that on the scan.  

Sherlock: What if she only has nine fingers? 

Molly: I think you can still teacher her how to play the violin.  

Sherlock: What if she hates the violin? 

Molly: That really wont be the end of the world.  

Sherlock: What if she is a he?! 

Molly: Then we name him after your father instead of your mother.  

Sherlock: What if she -  

Molly: SHERLOCK! SHUT UP! 

Sherlock: *stares at her in surprise* 

Molly: Unless you are going to push this baby out of your va-who-whoo, shut up and sit down.  

Sherlock: *sits down next to Molly and takes her hand* I love you. 

Walking out of my first Friskis experience I am not sure what is hurting more, my aching body or my cheeks. This is the first fitness class I’ve done that has provided a full-body workout that even included my Zygomaticus (smiling) muscle!

Friskis & Svettis is a not for profit Swedish gym class that has been around for 30 years. The instructors and board members help run the group in their spare time and do it for the love of it - and it shows.

There are about 50 people in the class and we start by forming a circle around the instructor, Martina. Her energy and beaming smile makes you instantly relaxed and open to the class. 

We begin jumping around and mimicking Martina’s easy to follow moves. You can’t help but laugh thinking that 5 minutes ago everyone in the room was so serious walking in from work and now we are jumping around with our arms in the air.

The class lasts 50 minutes, incorporating all the elements you want in a work out: strength, flexibility and stamina.  The moves flow with the eclectic mix of music catering to everyone’s taste and ensuring you can have a sing along between panting breaths. When the session is over the cool down is excellent with a lot of stretching and a calming relaxation at the end.

This workout really is amazing burning 600 calories in 50 minutes. I would recommend everyone do this class. Trust me you will be hooked.

Classes are £5 per class or £40 for 10.

Friskis & Svettis hold classes at three convenient locations around London. I went to the West End class at the Central YMCA. Their other classes are in Marylebone (Swedish Church) and Islington (Movingartsbase).

Address: Central YMCA, 112 Great Russell St, London WC1B 3NQ

Nearest Station: Tottenham Court Road Underground
