Rated 4.8 from 320 Google reviews. A few regulars in their own words.
I joined at 52 having not exercised since school. Everything was scaled for me. Eighteen months later I deadlift 70kg and my back pain is gone.

Lost 18kg in a year. Nobody weighed me or shouted at me. The plan stayed simple and someone texted me when I missed a Tuesday.

I have trained in five gyms. This is the only one where the coach noticed my squat was off before I did. Small is the whole point.

No. Most people walk in having not trained for years. Your first session is scaled to where you are now, and the start up plan teaches the basics before you train on your own.
Neither. No joining fee. Pause or cancel with a months notice by email. No phone call, no exit interview.
Classes are capped at twelve so the coach can watch everyone. Book from the board or by text. If a session is full, there is space on the floor and the coach will give you something to do.
A look around, one coached session, and two weeks written down to take home. About an hour in total. Bring shoes and workout clothes. No card details needed.
Probably. The over 50s sessions are kept small and easy on joints. Tell us what hurts and we will work around it.
Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm. Saturday to Sunday 8am to 8pm. Staffed 8am to 8pm daily. Doors open 30 minutes before the first session.
