Try out our strength training gym in Wavertree with a day pass and gym induction.

After purchasing your day pass, please book in for your induction - no walk-ins allowed

The induction is a short health and safety briefing and a quick demonstration of how to use our strength training equipment. 

After that, you’re free to train independently.

💥 Important: This option is for people who already know how to train themselves confidently.
We’re a strength-focused gym, not a commercial setup with rows of machines and cardio kit. If you’re unsure what to do with your barbell lifts, need help with technique, or want proper direction, you’ll want to book a PT taster session instead.

After your day pass and induction, you can sign up for a gym membership:
– £33/month: limited access during manned hours only
– £39/month: self-access (6–10pm weekdays, 8–8 weekends)

Our taster sessions are for people interested in strength-specific personal training or anyone who needs extra support getting started in a barbell-focused strength training gym.

This is an advanced onboarding session designed to give you specific guidance based on your goals, experience, and needs.

It’s ideal if:

• You’re interested in starting PT with us to improve your lifts

• You’re new to strength training or specialist strength training equipment

• You want extra support to feel confident and safe when training
  

In your session, we’ll cover:

• How to use our strength training equipment correctly

• Key lifting cues and safe setup for all suitable exercise variations

• What to focus on in your next visit so you can hit the ground running

📅 Once purchased, book your taster session through the Appointments section. Sessions must be booked in advance.
🕒 PT sessions are available 12–8pm Monday–Friday and 10am–1pm Saturdays (subject to availability).

Train at our strength gym in Wavertree with a manned membership option.

Once you’ve completed your induction, you can purchase a gym membership and book training slots during our manned hours.

🛑 Induction is required before joining
We’ll show you how to use the kit safely during your induction.

Once you sign up, you can book gym sessions during our staffed hours, where there’s always someone around if you need support. (This is typically afternoons, evenings and Saturdays, but this is subject to change).

💪 Your membership includes access to:
– A library of strength-based workout plans for different goals
– Online portal access so you can follow your program anytime

This is ideal for local lifters who don't want coaching. 

If you do start coaching with us, gym access outside of your sessions is included for free.

Join our strength training gym in Wavertree with manned and self-access hours.

Once you’ve completed your induction, you can purchase a gym membership and book your training slots — whether you’re training during manned hours or using self-access.
