The Stronghold Gym

After 9 months of boring training for what turned out to be a disappointing half marathon, my partner and I were determined to do something different with fitness!

From being coached to perfection to lift ungodly amounts of weight, to drawing on the motivation from the depths of my soul to throw down with my fellow fitness pioneers and take an assault bike to pound town.

Stronghold is an outstanding gym, made better by the atmosphere of the members.

Great variety of classes, incredibly knowledgeable trainers, a super inviting and non judgemental environment and completely inclusive.

It’s the small details that count and I was impressed with the toiletry boxes with all the essentials you might need in the men’s loos.

This is such an amazing gym, the owners/ coaches Dave and Tom are both extremely knowledgable, professional and genuinely lovely people.

The new premises are huge with smart new changing rooms and lots of high quality equipment.

I have been a member of gyms for years and this is the first one where I feel the coaches really want to work with you as an individual.

) Each one of them has been super helpful, patient and perfect at explaining and getting me started with excercises and things I have never done before, it could easily feel daunting but instead I feel at ease as they take me through each step and slowly work me through the task and get the technique down properly before moving on.

The expertise, experience, responsiveness, focussed attention to details and development of personalised programmes is the BEST I have seen.
