A letter from the founders

We got tired of gyms that didn't know our names.

We both coached in big gyms for years. Too loud, too crowded, and by the third month nobody knew who you were.

In 2019 we took over an empty brick works in Ancoats and kept the chimney.

We have one rule: coaches walk the floor. They don't sit at the desk.

Come in for a free day pass. If it isn't for you, you've lost an hour.
