Happy Birthday!

The way things were. Steve the electrician standing in what is now the changing room doorway.
Today marks the first anniversary of opening our studio in Forest Park. Our sincere thanks to all those who have come through the doors since then.
We’re proud to say that most of our current clients were with us on day one. Unlike chain gyms we don’t rely on a constant turnover of people paying for a membership they rarely use. We hope that all those who were here from the start & those who have discovered us since will still be enjoying their training & results when we mark our next anniversary & beyond.
Any milestone prompts a look at both the past & the future. The picture above shows the shell we inherited in early 2009. It was bitterly cold at the time & we have distinct memories of working around the clock between our appointments elsewhere, adding a coat of paint & patching holes at any opportunity.
We were inspired by the vision of a simple workspace with none of the pointless machines & gimmicks cluttering up all the other gyms we worked in. We hope you’ve enjoyed using that space & thank-you for all your hard work, effort & persistence in the last year. We’ve witnessed a raft of personal bests, from life-changing improvements in pain-free movement to big weights being lifted & race times run.
If there’s anything you haven’t enjoyed or would like to change (lighter weights & fewer reps not being an option…) we appreciate your feedback. Looking to the future we will be implementing some changes to improve your time in the studio, so do let us know your suggestions too.
We’re looking forward to another year of progress for all our clients. Here’s to you!


Happy birthday guys, been quite a journey so far and looking forward to the coming year!
