 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic introduction to the world of powerlifting! I attended weekly women’s classes and my confidence grew massively in lifting, particularly as I required multiple adjustments in technique. I hope to be able to return to these classes in the future as it was a lovely community

Such an encouraging environment, Chris was a great coach, and though I can’t continue to attend the classes because I’m not based in London at the moment, I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to give weightlifting a go.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed the introduction to Olympic weight lifting with Chris. He broke down all of the moves into manageable chunks and we were given time to practice each bit. Chris is very knowledgeable and passionate about olympic lifting which really helps! Would definitely recommend if you’re curious and keen to have a go at olympic weight lifting.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great gym with excellent coaches and a nice and encouraging community of lifters. I've taken the ladies who lift beginners course for powerlifting, intro to strongman/strongwoman, and the intro to Olympic lifting course. Everything is broken down and made really accessible, with a focus on technique.

I was really nervous about doing any strength training at first, but the coaches are so friendly and approachable. Now I absolutely love it and come to classes regularly.
