What it is like
Shown what to do
Nobody is left staring at a machine wondering which bit moves.
A plan you can follow
Written down, with sets, reps and what to do when you have twenty minutes instead of an hour.
No shouting
The music is reasonable and nobody films themselves in the mirror.
Come and look first
Walk round, ask questions, and decide afterwards.

Simple, written down, and built around the days you can actually come.
- Step 4
Check-ins
A catch-up after a few weeks to add weight where it is easy and change what is not working.
Failed twice with someone else and nearly gave up. Passed first time with Jane, and she was the only one who told me what I was actually doing wrong.

The floor, the equipment, and the changing rooms — which are the bit everybody wants to see.

I have never trained. Is that a problem?
It is most of who comes here. The first session is learning what to do, slowly.
Do I need a contract?
Ask us what we offer — there is a way to pay that suits most people, and we will tell you the cheapest one for how often you will actually come.
What should I wear?
Anything you can move in and shoes that are not slippery. That is it.
I have an injury.
Tell us about it before we start. We will work around it and tell you if you should see somebody first.
Weights or cardio?
Both, and in that order for most people. We will explain why rather than just telling you.
How often should I come?
Twice a week, consistently, beats five times for two weeks. We will be honest about what will fit your life.
Thinking about starting?
Come and look round. No pressure, no tour with a clipboard.
