#AnyaLahiri #Barrysbootcamp #barrys

On this week’s show we have one of Britain’s top fitness instructors Anya Lahiri.  You only have to open a glossy magazine to find Lahiri listed as one of most sort after, elite fitness instructors in the UK today and during lockdown thousands of people tuned in worldwide to take her instagram live classes.  Lahiri was also instrumental in bringing high-intensity, fitness studio phenomenon Barry’s Bootcamp to the UK.  With its latest studio about to open in Liverpool it is difficult to imagine the leap of faith it took on Lahiri’s part to bring Barry’s to the UK after taking a class in LA and even harder to imagine that there was ever time when a landlord might have been hesitant to rent them a space to create studio.  We caught up with Lahiri to talk about life in general, Barry’s, her acting  career and the time she represented Britain at Eurovision as part of the girl group Precious.   As a little side note for her wikipedia page, not many people know that Lahiri also turned in a very funny performance as a senior centre’s fitness instructor in the second half of the comedy film Great in Britain: The Movie.  She gives a great comedic performance in movie that also stars the late, great Peter Bowles, Jason Flemyng,  Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham, Colin Salmon, Ben Starr and a cast of great British talent.
