PROBLEM: You want to tone up but can’t face the gym

SOLUTION: Dan Chapman

Celebrity personal trainer Dan Chapman is a body-sculpting genius, with a knack for training women ­including Sadie Frost, Kate Moss and Kimberley Stewart, who are all fans. His ­signature training sessions are a mix of cardio and light weights, to tone every muscle and optimise calorie burning. Best of all, he comes to your door! Chapman’s workouts can all fit into the space between your sofa and TV, so there are no excuses. The three-week Body Blast is a celebrity f­avourite, combining a bespoke diet plan and five training sessions a week. Chapman works in north London but his team of trainers will go further afield.

£850 for a course of 15 sessions, bodyxperts.com

PROBLEM: You look rough but are too busy to get to a spa

SOLUTION: InParlour

InParlour is a mobile beauty salon. Its expert therapists come to your home or office and set-up camp in situ. It still feels professional – they bring everything you’d find in a spa, ­including folding treatment beds. They do pretty much everything, including ­facials, massages, waxing, threading and ­eyelash ­extensions, shown inset. We ­sampled a mani-pedi with Essie polish. Conclusion: once you’ve had a pedicure on your own sofa, you’ll never go to a nail bar again.

From £30 per treatment, inparlour.co.uk

PROBLEM: You love to host but you’re a horrible cook

SOLUTION: Raoul’s Deli

Fancy-pants deli Raoul’s in Maida Vale isn’t just for the locals – its chefs also cater for dinner parties. Choose from the selection online and they’ll bring starters, mains, ­puddings and wine to your kitchen on the day. Each course comes in earthenware dishes, so it looks homely, along with easy-peasy “put-it-in-the-oven”-type ­instructions. There are also nibbles for bigger parties, but we like the laziness of outsourcing supper for six.

From £12-14 per person for a selection of courses raoulsgourmet.com
