Heat and climate
TIO CrossFit is the one open-air gym. It is based at Rosslyn Park Rugby Club in Barnes. Drop-in visitors train outside year-round, with covered shelter and heating in bad weather. Bring layers in winter and a water bottle in summer.
Early classes are the easiest way to avoid the evening crowds. Several gyms open at 6:00 am on weekdays, including CrossFit Esher, CrossFit Vauxhall and Tribe London.
