Strength training in Berkhamsted
Getting stronger makes everything else easier, from carrying the shopping to keeping up with your kids. I coach strength training one-to-one and in small groups at my private gym in Berkhamsted, whether you have never lifted before or want to take your training further.

What we work on
- Technique first. You learn to squat, hinge, push, pull and carry safely before we add weight.
- A plan that builds week by week, so you can see yourself getting stronger.
- Free weights, the power rack and the cable machine, chosen to suit you and your goals.
- Sessions that fit around any injuries or limits you tell me about.
One-to-one, with a friend, or in a class
One-to-one sessions are built entirely around you. You can also bring a friend or a few and split the cost, or join the small group strength class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:45am.
