About the gym

We opened in a railway arch with two barbells and a rowing machine. The idea has not changed: teach people to lift properly, then keep them doing it.

Everything is coached. Small groups cap at six for strength and ten for conditioning, because past that a coach is a spectator.

Most people come in unsure and stay for years. That is the whole business.

Six people, not sixty

Small groups mean a coach actually sees you lift. Every session is programmed, not improvised.

Coached, not supervised

All our coaches are accredited and have been doing this for years, not months.

A plan that progresses

You leave the first session with a written programme and know exactly what next week looks like.

What clients say

Dana R.★★★★★
First gym where someone actually corrected my deadlift. Two years in and still going.
Marcus T.★★★★★
Small groups make it. Six people, one coach, nobody hiding at the back.
Priya S.★★★★★
Came in after an injury, terrified. They programmed around it and I am stronger than before.

Questions

Frequently asked

I have never lifted before — is that a problem?

No, it is the normal starting point. The intro session teaches the basic patterns and you leave with a plan.

How big are the classes?

Strength caps at six, conditioning at eight, mobility at ten. You will see the spots left when you book.

Do I need a membership?

No. You can book sessions one at a time. A membership is cheaper if you come twice a week or more.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel yourself up to 24 hours ahead and it is refunded automatically. Inside 24 hours, call us.

Do you do online programming?

Not yet. Everything is in person and coached.
