First class free

Stronger than last week

Small-group strength and conditioning in the old print works. Forty-five minutes, no mirrors, no nonsense.

The studio

A barbell gym that will not make you feel stupid

Two rooms, sixteen platforms and a coach on the floor at every session. No mirrors down the long wall, no music you have to shout over, and nobody filming themselves in the squat rack.

  • Every class capped at twelve people
  • Programmes written for your first year, not your first week
  • Coaches who lift, and who have all coached beginners
  • Open gym hours included in every membership

Members

People who were nervous on day one

I joined at forty-one having never lifted anything heavier than a toddler. I deadlift a hundred kilos now. Nobody was ever weird about it.

Priya Raman

I have had three gym memberships and used none of them. This is the first place where a coach noticed I had stopped coming and messaged me.

Mark Ellison
