Just moved from London to the area and am so impressed with the variety of kit and the welcoming community. Really excellent for powerlifters in particular. Anyone say monolift?

Quality gym, friendly staff and very welcoming. Suitable for all levels. Plenty of space and equipment. Prices are also better than gyms in the area while being also being a larger gym. Very good covid19 measure in place and a very safe place to train. 10/10
