John provided some great advice is helping us finalise our requirements and tackle problems created by previous conversion work. His team of joiners and subcontractors were all first class; always friendly, on time and professional they did everything to minimise the impact on us and delivered a job that has vastly improved the room they were working on. I would not hesitate to use John and his team again and happily recommend Barnsbury Joinery to others. More...

Having searched for a long time to find the right company to restore our Victorian sash Windows I would highly recommend Barnsbury Joinery for both their professionalism and workmanship. The service has been excellent from the very first visit right through to the fitting of our Windows. We never felt pressurised or rushed into making our decision and the company worked to our timescale rather than theirs. Mark fitted the Windows with skill, expertise and is a fantastic joiner. Communication was always efficient, timescales met and it has been a pleasure to work with everyone involved at Barnsbury Joinery. More...

We were asked to install sash windows into one of our managed properties in the local area. We have used other independent companies in the past but we were impressed by the speed and the knowledge that Barnsbury Joinery presented there quote. Most importantly this quote was very competitive with our other suppliers and it was an easy decision to go with them. We kept in contact throughout and windows were installed as promised.

We had our original box sash windows renovated and painted inside. John provided us a good realistic quote, he was very knowledgeable about our windows, sympathetic to their age and made great recommendations we hadn't even thought about. Since all the work has been completed our house is so much warmer and we have had to turn our boiler and radiators down. Our new windows look fantastic and we have had lots of compliments from family and friends in the area. More...

I can't believe that I actually look forward to exercising three times a week for an hour each session. Its hard work but you go at your own pace. Once the bootcamp is finished you feel on such a high afterwards. I am so much much stronger and fitter and have only done 10 sessions so far. New friends made which is always a bonus! More...

Excellent outdoor training sessions with flexible location options (I go to Highbury Fields and Shoreditch Park). The trainers are great - motivating you to give that last little bit extra, but without yelling at you or making you feel bad - they just keep you honest I guess!

The skinny rebel workout is the best place to visit in London if you want to get into shape fast. Each workout lasts 45 minutes, during which you think you might die multiple times, but that just makes the endorphin rush at the end that much stronger.

I was invited to take part in a "skinny rebel" personal training session at the Conrad St James with Train Dirty London in Sept 15. The location was super easy to get to after work (hotel is literally opposite St James' Park station). It was my first time at the Conrad and I was super impressed from the get go. Dean, my personal trainer, greeted me in the foyer and took me down to the hotel gym.<span id="moreReview608617" class="hide"> The gym had amazing facilities; free secure lockers and Hildon Spring water (!!!) so it didn't feel like an ordinary training session from the start. I was amazed at how dynamic and tough the session was and within 10 minutes felt like I had already been training for over an hour…I did a variety of exercises (battle ropes, bear crawls, balancing exercises, burpees) but it was wearing the altitude mask that was the killer! I actually thought I was quite fit until I tried this…I've since been back four times and every session I notice improvements. The sessions are also only £40 for 45 mins and you'd pay much more for an hour personal training session with someone else and I doubt you will yield the same results. Will definitely continue on into the new year! Highly recommend!</span> More...
