Was visiting from out of the area, found this gem of a gym and did a couple of day passes. Friendly, welcoming staff and owner plus an incredible range of kit provides loads of training options. Had a couple of great sessions, kindly got shown by coaching staff Ben how to press the strongman log and execute the bag over bar throw which was ace! Highly motivating space to get the work in, would thoroughly recommend.
