Valkyrie HQ

Fantastic experience: A fantastic setup - great team offering varied, challenging and sweat inducing workouts. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Valkyrie to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness and strength. James and Tim are not only total professionals in their field, but are really good fun to be around too! I love the community element of Valkyrie and always leave their sessions worn out but with a big smile of my face

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very friendly and they really focus on ensuring I have the right form and technique. I'm so pleased I have found VALKYRIE HQ, the classes are challenging without being intimidating and I now feel confident about my ability to train and prepare for a Hyrox event even though I'm a Hyrox novice.

Fantastic experience: Amazing equipment, really friendly environment and experienced trainers. So much nicer than being inside a sweaty gym!

Fantastic experience: This outdoor gym in Godalming is fantastic! It’s located on a field where retired polo horses live. You can see the sun rising and setting very clearly! It’s such a beautiful spot! You can also see the moon rising at night. The people are lovely and encourage you to complete your tasks on every single workout. It's not a walk in the park and definitely not for the faint hearted. It pushes you to your limits making you feel stronger after every session. The instructor James Matthews who is an ex Ruby player and worked with Harlequins RFC, also a Strongman athlete & coach who won the Britain’s Strongest Man 120KG in 2023, combines different techniques like: StrongMan, Hyrox, Tempo and Hybrid into his workouts, resulting in a unique workout every class, making it a diverse and challenging workout. It’s definitely my kind of place too!
