<p>If you like it hot, try this! Hotpod Yoga in Birmingham is so hot, it&#8217;s actually cool, with immersive classes held at a toasty 37°C&nbsp;inside an inflatable pod. The city centre studio opened in May 2024, founded by Kelly&nbsp;Morris and Liberty Selvester-Webb. Kelly&nbsp;first discovered yoga in 2023 to help prevent sports injuries, but quickly fell in love with it. Now the studio offers 25 classes a week, seven days a week, for every level &#8211; so whether you&#8217;re a season yogi or a complete beginner, why not give it a go?

<p>A world-class padel place, <a href="https://www.purepadelclubs.co.uk/padel-solihull/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pure Padel</a>, has just ropened at Moseley Cricket Club in Solihull.

Newbies, fear not &#8211; you can hire all the gear here, making this the perfect place to practice your shots or simply have some laidback fun.

<p>Yet another excellent excuse to eat, drink and be merry (with a side of movement), <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sips_and_strides/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sips &amp; Strides</a> in Solihull is a weekly meet-up that blends gentle exercise with a spot of low-key networking. The group gathers every Sunday at 9am outside Boston Tea Party &#8211; and yes, coffee is very much part of the plan. Expect a relaxed, welcoming crowd and a strong <em>come as you are</em> energy (bed hair actively encouraged). Dogs are very welcome, conversation flows easily and the whole thing is firmly about community over cardio. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-day-spa">DAY SPA</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="666" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/warks/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2023/12/Untitled-design-1672.jpg" alt="genting hotel spa resorts world" class="wp-image-55755" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/warks/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2023/12/Untitled-design-1672.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/warks/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2023/12/Untitled-design-1672-800x533.jpg 800w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/warks/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2023/12/Untitled-design-1672-768x511.jpg 768w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/warks/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2023/12/Untitled-design-1672-788x525.jpg 788w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>Hidden away at the top of Resorts World, this lesser-known spa is a real gem, complete with&nbsp;swoon-worthy views across the lake. So if you fancy a last minute dose of R&amp;R, book into the <a href="https://www.gentinghotel.co.uk/santai-spa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Santai Spa at the Genting Hotel</a> and you&#8217;ll find all the good stuff: a gym, pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room and a calm-down-now relaxation room &#8211; perfect for pressing pause above the buzz below. To make the most of it, try the&nbsp;Signature Spa Experience,&nbsp;which includes either two indulgent 25-min treatments or one blissful 50-min treatment. Our top tip? Avoid weekends if you can, as things tend to get busier. Instead book the day off work and head down on a Monday or Tuesday for a quieter, more relaxing spa escape. Sigh, can we just do this every Monday? </p>

<p>If you fancy a real treat and don&#8217;t care about the price tag, <a href="https://www.ragdalehall.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ragdale Hall </a>is the ultimate spa escape. It&#8217;s unapologetically luxe and made for those moments when you&#8217;re craving some serious pampering (so&#8230; always). Spend the day drifting between 12 heat and water experiences and six beautifully designed pools, including the show-stopping rooftop infinity pool with sweeping countryside views. Indulge in a treatment, roll out your mat for a candlelit yoga class or simply flop, float and fully switch off. Best of all? Ragdale is gloriously grown-ups only – expect peace, quiet and zero compromises.</p>

<p>You can&#8217;t beat an al fresco swim for an instant mood booster in summer &#8211; especially if it&#8217;s at a lido. There may not be many left, but the West Mids boasts one of the UK&#8217;s last remaining open-air, saltwater swimming pools. Head down to <a href="https://www.riversfitness.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Droitwich Spa lido</a> to rejuvenate your skin and immune system in the feel-good salty water. It&#8217;s also a brilliant family day out or perfect for a spontaneous dip when the temperatures soar. The 40m pool comes with a sun terrace and a cafe. Prices start at just £7.40 for a swim &#8211; but take our advice and book a couple of days ahead to guarantee your spot.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a Muddy award-winning studio based in Warwick <em>and</em> Stratford called <a href="https://formandflow.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Form &amp; Flow</a>, offering small-group Reformer Pilates session, a brilliant mix of instructors (so it never gets stale), and a timetable that genuinely works around real life &#8211; early mornings, evenings, the lot. It’s £20 a session and is friendly without being fluffy, fun without losing focus and you’ll find all ages on the reformers. Best of all, it&#8217;s low impact with seriously impressive results. Fair warning: one class and you&#8217;ll probably be hooked.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-running">RUNNING</h2>

<p>If the words ‘run’ and ‘club’ have you reaching straight for snooze, stay with us, because a new wave of social run clubs has entered the chat &#8211; and they&#8217;re far more about flat whites than finish times. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/perkandpace/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Perk and Place in Birmingham</a> blends steady running with serious café culture – think pre-run chats, post-run pastries and a standing date with your favourite flat white (plus perks at local favourites like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/medicinebakery/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Medicine Bakery</a>) Distances are refreshingly doable, the pace is genuinely inclusive, and the whole thing feels less like a training plan and more like a social ritual you&#8217;ll actually stick to. </p>

Its monthly run club is all about relaxed, chatty miles followed by genuinely excellent coffee (on the house, no less!). What&#8217;s not to love?</p>
