We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive environment where everyone, from beginners to competitive athletes, can find support, motivation, and respect. Our gym isn’t just a get in, get out sort of place, we want you to be able to overcome challenges and achieve new personal bests.

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 kitted out 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 a visit or trial 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.
