Here are the 5 best gyms to catch a quick-fix workout this festive season

Festive drinks leave no room for evening gym sessions, so if you want to whip up an appetite for those mince pies you have to think outside the box.

This either means getting up earlier — painful with a mild hangover — or squeezing it in at midday.
