Born out of a desire to deliver a top quality, bespoke personal training experience, our ethos is that everyone has the right to feel confident when working out. Our goal is to create an environment where our clients feel empowered, motivated and valued. If you're here to improve yourself, then we're here to applaud and encourage you.

Unlike big box gyms, you will never arrive to an overcrowded space. Our personal training sessions are scheduled to ensure that we can GUARANTEE equipment availability. A private space with a real sense of acceptance and belonging.

 

So whether you're an absolute beginner (in which case you may find our FAQ's section helpful), super experienced, or somewhere inbetween.....welcome.

If you have any questions about us, about our personal trainers please don't hesitate to contact us. We'd be more than happy to help you.

Stuidos

Studios

We've carefully planned our facility to ensure that the space is fully equipped to provide you with an invigorating and highly productive workout. The training space is made up of 3 areas:

Weights

Complete with power rack, squat rack and bench press for those heavier lifts. We've plenty of plates and Olympic weights to ensure you're never hanging around waiting for someone else to free up the equipment. Of course you can expect to see cables, pull up/dip station, barbells and dumbbells (1 - 45kg). We also have a prowler run and sled for whole body conditioning.

Cardio

No treadmills here! We are keen that our main cardio area should be challenging and keep your interest. Burn those calories on our Concept 2 machines; ski erg, bike erg and rowers. Here you will also find kettlebells, battle ropes, suspension trainer, slam balls, Swedish wall ladder & air bike.

We have a private, walled off training space at the back of our studio. Try tyre flips, battle ropes, sledgehammers, wall balls and more all in the great outdoors.

I have been Vegan for 3 years and was vegetarian for 4 years before that. This is an area I specialise in as most people get confused by how to build strength and muscle whilst living  on a plant based diet.
