Old Street's Health Kick

10 Jan 2016

Old Street Station

Running crews, yogis, egg white omelettes and Beyonce workouts – this month, Old Street station is all about fitness. January marks a new season of curation down in the station, as it is transformed into a health and wellbeing hub. Every week this month, new brands and experiences under the theme of health and wellbeing can be discovered inside the station. Think fitness classes, nutritional workshops, healthy eateries and nutritional snack stations – suddenly, the commute's not looking that bad.

Successful retail is all about creating great experiences, which is why this year we’re curating the retail in Old Street station around key themes and seasonal moments. This month, you can start your day with a healthy breakfast, pressed juice drink, yoga class, buy a new running top and create a nutritional snack box that’s delivered to your desk – all before you’ve left the station!

Over the coming year, Old Street Station will host a series of themed festivals, showcasing the best brands in sport, design, art, fashion, technology, film and music. Expect a roster of secret events, new retail concepts and a whole host of experiences you’d never expect to discover in an underground station. Here’s a little preview of what’s going on:

Frame Full shop

Leading the programme of events we have Frame who’ve decked out Old Street’s tunnels with some inspired fitspo messaging. Frame’s mission is to ensure keeping fit is never a chore. Launching in Unit 3 this week, they’ll be hosting a range of classes & events each day including Anti desk stretching classes, Mini Barre courses and their classic Beyonce workout.

Two Chicks has taken over Unit 2, championing egg-white based products. The founders, Anna Richey and Alla Ouvarova, decided to take the hassle out of separating eggs, by creating liquid egg white cartons for fat free, cholesterol free, low carb, low GI cooking. Head in-store to sample their delicious protein pancakes, porridge and egg white omelettes.
