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
Member for two years
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
Member for eight months
I came back six weeks after having my son. They rewrote the whole programme around what my body could actually do that month.

Arch 12, Bonnington Yard
Under the railway on Bonnington Road, five minutes from the station. Look for the roller door — the sign is small and the music is not.

Before you join
Fair questions
I have never lifted before. Where do I start?
With the free session. A coach walks you through the four main lifts using an empty bar, and you leave with a plan for your first month. Roughly half the people in any class started exactly this way.
Do I have to book, or can I turn up?
Book. Classes cap at twelve and the 18:30 slots fill by Sunday night. Booking opens seven days ahead in the app, and cancelling before midday costs you nothing.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes — up to two months a year for any reason at all, and longer for injury, pregnancy or a spell working away. Email the studio; there is no form and no retention call.
Is there parking, and are there showers?
Eighteen free spaces at the rear, plus bike racks inside the door. Four showers in each changing room, towels included, and lockers that do not need a pound coin.
Your first session is free, and it always will be
An hour with a coach, an empty bar and no obligation to join anything at the end of it.
