Like the idea of toning up and dedicating more time to your wellbeing, without the pressure? The Oak House has your name all over it. This beautiful wellbeing studio based in the Old Church Hall in the grounds of Hatfield House has a gentle approach to exercise. Putting the focus on positivity and wellness rather than sweating it out in a dingy gym, founders, Graham and Keeley’s approach is to offer a friendly and welcoming space, creating a real sense of community.

The Oak House offers Reformer Pilates, Circuits and Barre classes in the main studio, as well as a diverse range of Yoga classes in the newly opened dedicated Yoga studio, The Donkey Store (no, not a biblical stable, but a gorgeously calming space). You’ll also find a number of workshops and courses, from Sound Healing and Cacao Ceremonies to Aerial Silks and Yoga Retreats, available to book online.

But, it doesn’t stop at exercise – this is a ‘wellness’ studio after all. Thanks to The Oak House’s expert team of professional therapists and medical practitioners, you’ll find everything here from osteotherapy to indulgent massages, facials to holisitic therapies – such as reiki, homeopathy and acupuncture – as well as medical services, including hearing tests, vitamin therapy, counselling and hypnotherapy. There’s even a perfume ‘playground’ where you can create your own bespoke scent with award winning perfume connoisseur, Benjamin Paul. What a treat!

Sounds great, but what about the cost? You don’t need to worry about getting tied into expensive membersips here, there’s a  really flexible pricing structure, ranging from single classes to unlimited annual memberships. And there’s a loyalty scheme for customers at The Coach House Kitchen in the Stable Yard at Hatfield House so you can call in for a post-workout caffeine fix. Could they make it any more tempting? Well, yes actually – there’s an unlimited 2-week intro offer for just £30, so there’s no excuse!
