Group Personal Training.
We run training programs for small groups of people. We focus on each persons training needs and help them reach their goals by tailoring what they do each time they step into our gym because we know that one size does not fit all.
Our training focuses on increasing strength, endurance and mobility using 3 core fundamentals; the kettlebell, the barbell and your own body weight.
Kettlebells
Improve strength, power, muscle, endurance and more with the kettlebell.
Barbell
Build muscle and strength, increase bone density and boost your confidence.
Body weight
Improve your flexibility, balance, core strength and prevent injuries.
What Our Members Say.
You get really professional training advice that is tailored to you. It is amazing value for money compared to visiting a normal gym where any advice you receive is likely to come from someone who is far less qualified and experienced.
An amazing little gym with a lovely community and group of supportive trainers. Whether you’re interested in getting fit or learning new skills with a barbell or kettlebell, The Engine House has got it all!
The investment in the gym is worth the money even if you only make a commitment for 3 months. What you can learn about training will set you up with the techniques required to make the gym work for you
Memberships.
When you join our gym, you’re also joining our family. We are great believers that getting professional instructor led training is important, but we also know the value in having like-minded people to train with to give you the extra support to keep going.
Our classes sizes are small, with only 5 to 8 people attending a session. This means you’ll never be fighting over equipment, you’ll always be working safely and you get dedicated time with your trainer to really get the most out of your time in the gym.
