our ethos

At Essential Strength, our ethos is rooted in the belief that strength training is more than just physical exercise; it's a transformative journey towards better health, confidence, and ability.

We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive environment where everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes, can find support, motivation, and respect. Our gym is not just a space to work out; it's a place where challenges are overcome, and personal bests are just the beginning.

Our unique warehouse gym features our strength training equipment, specialist strength coaching, and a focus on managing health and offering support. We understand that gym anxiety is real, which is why we've created a supportive atmosphere that encourages growth at every level.

At Essential Strength, you're not just joining a gym - you're becoming part of a community dedicated to empowering you in your fitness journey.

Strength training equipment

Our gym specialises in strength training, meaning most of our equipment is designed to support a variety of strength disciplines, including powerlifting and strongman. However, most of our members start with general strength training to lay the foundations and get strong and toned before making their training more specific.

workout with safety in mind

We emphasise our commitment to creating a secure environment for all members. Our gym is equipped with equipment that people might not be used to but we have high standards to ensure every workout is safe and effective. This is one of the reasons that we require all new members to start with an induction so that no one puts themselves or anyone else at risk. Even if you train independently, we’re still on hand to provide guidance if you need help.
