Fantastic experience: Been today to have a full body deep tissue massage. Amazing experience worked all the knots out of my muscles and gave great advice on warm ups etc. will definitely rebook

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at the Wolfpack for around 10 years now and it was honestly the best discission I have made. Daz has helped me lose a lot of weight and while doing that I have got stronger. since joining I have competed in powerlifting and even had a dabble at strongman. If you are wanting to lose weight, get fit or even looking at competing in strength sports The Wolfpack is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: After struggling with back pain for years, which led to a herniated disc, I was recommended to see Darren at Wolfpack and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Over the past 6 months, Darren has not only pinpointed the root cause of my back issues from our very first session, but he also made key adjustments to my form that, within weeks, completely eliminated my pain. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to lift pain free and look forward to the future strength gains which are there to be made. More recently, I dealt with a shoulder injury that impacted all my powerlifting movements. After just one sports massage with Darren, he identified the source of the problem, and within two days, my pain was gone and I was back to training as usual. The atmosphere Darren has created at Wolfpack is very motivating, providing the best environment for anyone looking to push themselves to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I have been having issues with my mobility and feeling tight. Daz scraped the knots out and used suction cups on my back. I instantly felt relief and noticed flexibility in my shoulders improve straight away. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Been working with Darren now for the past couple of months via online coaching. Really enjoying the sessions and his coaching is the best around he’s been a massive help me to. Thanks for all the advice and support over these past couple of months would highly recommend him when it comes to coaching and injury rehab the best around.

Fantastic experience: Had a sports massage with Darren yesterday and now reaping the benefits! I was suffering with lower back/hip pain for quite some time, after seeing Darren I was able to move pain free and have a lot more flexibility now. He is really easy to chat to, explains why certain movements are restricted etc puts you at ease. Will definitely recommend him to anyone who is struggling and thinking of getting a massage. Will definitely keep up with them and be back for more.

Fantastic experience: Just been to have a sports massage with Darren,sorted my problem out,now have more movement in my shoulders after suffering with the problem for a long time. Darren very knowledgeable and explained everything he was doing,while checking I was ok.Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been training on and off for 20 years. Since I was 16 but I was constantly finding myself getting injured. I suffer from hypermobility and ADHD. I have spent thousands on PTs and sports massages, but nothing was working. I have learnt so much since joining the wolf pack. I have felt so welcomed and fit right in. I only had to have 1 sports massage with Darren, and my posture has massively improved. My head aches have gone, and I have not needed another massage. I've learnt so much from Darren, Donna, and the rest of the pack show so much support. I've lost weight but gained muscle in places I never could. I've still got a lot to learn, but my energy levels, technique, and overall mental health and well-being are the highest they've ever been. I absolutely love every session and leave feeling on top of the world. I can't thank you all enough!!

Fantastic experience: There is no better place to train for powerlifting/strongman etc in greater Manchester. Darren and Donna have incredible knowledge on all things strength training/rehab and the training environment here is one of a kind. In little under a year I’ve added 50kg to my competition total, and any sort of minor injury has been rapidly fixed by a physio session with Darren!

Fantastic experience: Best powerlifting gym

Fantastic experience: Just had a shoulder back neck massage and it was worth eveth penny. My shoulders which were extremely tight causing pain to radiate now feel free. 5 star service amazing

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great facilities. Gym owner has great knowledge including power lifting, strength and conditions, injury recovery and so much more. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Picked up a knee injury through Rugby, went to Daz barely being able to walk and half an hour later I can walk, 10/10 physio

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing physio session. I have completely regained all movement in my spine. thank you

Fantastic experience: The Wolfpack is an amazing gym. Being a part of this club has allowed me to go from being a novice to being a powerlifter for Team GB. I cannot recommend the Wolfpack enough for anyone who’s interested in powerlifting, strongman and generally gym fitness

Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend. I came to Daz with restricted hip and leg movement. I’ve never felt more comfortable and in safer hands. Within 15 mins he solved my problem and increased my quality of life

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say Wolfpack has changed my life, Darren has the ability to get inside your head and drive you to places you never thought you could achieve. For years I thought I was achieving something by thowing weight around in any gym but I was wrong But since joining i have come on leap's and bounds due to discipline and professional training, my PB's have become warm ups and my attitude towards fitness has completely changed. I highly recommend that anybody who is looking to "tone up", "get fitter" or understand the basics come in and speak to the the man himself. Wolfpack has taken me to powerlifting competitions and made me feel part of the family, and make progress that I didn't think was possible I highly recommend Wolfpack for anyone of any ability.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend the sports massage if you really want to maintain fitness and strength and protect muscles , joints and ligaments . I can now move my neck and back more freely after months of pain and stiffness. NHS physios and a chiropractor left me feeling it was something I had to put up with . It’s given me more confidence in the gym now Thank you

Fantastic experience: Had my first sports massage with Darren today, much needed maintenance!! I was a little nervous to be massaged by a male but Darren was nothing but professional. I felt comfortable and safe throughout the hour massage. Darren explained everything he was doing and why, as well as, continually checking to see if I felt ok. I will definitely book another and have more regular body maintenance check ins, Thanks Darren.

Fantastic experience: I started physio with Darren at Wolfpack a few weeks ago and have already seen huge improvements. Darren is very knowledgable and will give detailed explanations on all aspects of his work which has extended beyond my injury and into all aspects of training. The passion and dedication is obvious and that drive to improve is infectious. The Wolfpack is also well stocked gym with everything you need, complete with a friendly and helpful community. Highly reccomended.

Fantastic experience: I have been to wolfpack for both using the gym and for physio and cannot recommend either highly enough. The gym is well equipped and has a lot of friendly members who are always willing to help out and give advice no matter what you lift. I have been to see Daz for physio on a number of occasions and every time he has helped out a tonne with my injuries and showed me how to continue the recovery on my own with exercises that target my affected areas.

Fantastic experience: Received a voucher for Wolfpackstrength, voucher was for 3 hours ended up staying about 5. Darren is very knowledgeable, open and honest in everything to do with strength. The time he spent getting to know me throughout the session was brilliant. I can’t recommend Wolfpackstrength enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at the Wolfpack now for nearly 4 years And I can’t praise it enough. I guarantee you will not get better training, coaching or support anywhere else. Darren is always there to support and advise with his huge depth of knowledge. If you are interested in any type strength training including powerlifting and Strongman I would fully recommend you get down to the Wolfpack.

Fantastic experience: Went to see Daz at Wolfpack for physio as I had injured my thigh playing rugby the weekend before. He assessed my injury and worked on the affected area. Once he had finished the treatment he had me working on stretching the injury and showed me some stretches that would help if I was to do them at home. I would highly recommend Wolfpack and will be using their services for any future injuries.

Fantastic experience: Daz did some great physio work on my back, releasing my shoulder and frame. Feels the best it has in a long time!

Fantastic experience: Daz is great, very knowledgeable, helped me out so much, definitely going back there

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Darren highly enough, went to see him with a suspected torn groin, unable to walk and in excruciating pain even sitting down/standing up, 1hr later I left realising I had nothing wrong with my groin but a torn hamstring (in my other leg!) pain free and able to not only walk but even go for a jog!

Fantastic experience: Since coming here the service is so professional and run amazing . I’ve got fitter and stronger really quick and safe at doing it . Also had first sport massage and I feel great . Had bad shoulder injury from years ago but now have lots of range and flexibility back . Thank you Darren Stafford

Fantastic experience: The players have utilised Wolfpack for training and it really benefitted the players. Darren has really helped with fitness and now a lot of the lads have signed up and attend regularly and are more than happy with their results so far!

Fantastic experience: I started fitness training with Daz as part of my rugby team. I now attend with my son for strength and fitness work and we both love it and have improved loads since starting

Fantastic experience: Went to see Daz due to being in a lot of pain in my groin and hips area in the space of half an hour. Daz has sorted me out. I now have more range of movement in my hip flexors. Fully recommend

Fantastic experience: My brother and I were looking for a powerlifting gym in Manchester while staying for an event and thought we'd give Wolfpack a look, which turned out to be the best part of our stay. As soon as you enter your surrounded by photos and achievements from the club (there's a ton) and everyone in the place was really friendly, like a big family. Daz immediately made us feel at home, and even though it was our first time there, gave us a full, in-depth coaching session which was far beyond anything you'd get anywhere else. This man knows his stuff, deeply. He's coached world champions, and has deep knowledge of passion of lifting. If you enjoy strength training you must come here. We left with a whole new mindset and gained a new coach. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Joined Wolfpack 10 months ago. Darren puts his heart and soul into every member. His coaching is exemplary - his passion and knowledge on powerlifting, amongst other things, comes through in all he does. The attention to detail for form is amazing, you feel safe and strong with every lift. The community which has been created at Wolfpack is a family, every member helps, motivates and cheers one another on.

Fantastic experience: Joined wolfpack around early January 2022. The whole group there was super welcoming and never at any point made me feel like I was an outsider. The main coach, Darren, has helped me so much in the moths I have been going. Sharing his knowledge and experience to the point that has not only increase my lifting abilities, but has changed my attitude in my gym and in every day life. Joining the wolfpack has honestly changed my life for the better. I am now eagerly going every day (if not twice a day) and have even gained friends and workout partners who are all pushing for a common goal and who will push me to become better. I couldn't recommend this gym more.

Fantastic experience: Went to see Daz with an ankle injury picked up playing rugby. He did a really good job of getting the mobility back and gave me some exercises and a plan for getting back to full fitness. He really knows his stuff and I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Daz and wolfpack powerlifting about 10 months ago. I had been lifting for a couple of years prior but my form and technique were terrible and whilst I knew I had issues I didn't know how to correct them. Over time Daz has corrected all my lifts to the point where I am now a competitive power lifter with a handful of British records. His attention to detail is 2nd to none and training via zoom means I get real time corrections. He goes above and beyond for his clients travelling the country to support and coach at competitions. Joining the wolfpack is one of the best things I have ever done.

Fantastic experience: A superb gym with top class coaching and support. Ive been at the Wolfpack 3 months now and the physical and mental gains that I've made are remarkable. Darren is extremely knowledgable and helpful, and has built a superb community of members who help and support each other. First class

Fantastic experience: Started coming once a week to try improve my fitness for rugby. Welcomed by everyone in the gym. I then suffered a dislocated knee and with Darren’s time and effort got back full mobility within five weeks of the injury. Would definitely recommend this gym to anybody who wants to start training. No matter your ability you get the same treatment, coaching and support.

Fantastic experience: The owner Darren is very committed to training and exercise. His love for the sport is obvious. His knowledge and willingness to share are exemplary. The gym has a good range of equipment, everyone is friendly and willing to help. This is what I'd term an old school gym, gym etiquette is paramount.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym, close knit group of people and top of the range coach; knows his profession inside and out. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing level of knowledge and experience you will not regret working with Darren, the only regret might be you didn't move sooner!!!!

Fantastic experience: Decent gym with a brilliant coach. Only gym Iv been to where I feel comfortable

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the wolfpack since the end of July 2020 and it has changed my mindset on weightlifting. Darren fixes your form first of all, and in doing that I achieved some personal bests on just the first day! Having time off for covid and isolating didn't matter, I never felt like it was a chore to come walking back through the doors. Everyone is so supportive of each other and we all want each other to succeed. Each person has their own goal to work towards, and Darren helps in every possible way to get you there. He won't give up on you even if you do the same thing wrong over and over again! He will persevere and that's what makes this place different. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: I was coached from a beginner by Darren Stafford to a competitive powerlifter. It's great to lift in a club where everyone supports each other. Tailered coaching to fix those sticking points and make you the best you can be.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! It's one big family, always feel happy going in. Darren is a great coach thankyou so much to all the members for making me feel at home.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Wolfpack at one a time of my life where there was a lot going on. I had one session with Darren Stafford and I was hooked. He was able to bring me back onto my path and make me as strong as I could be to handle everything I was going through. In the next year in a half I was able to become physically and mentally strong. The pandemic hit and was the perfect time to see what I was made of and put these tools to use. I was able to become the strongest I ever was and go to win two first place medals in powerlifting. I could never see myself not be with the pack and I’m 1000’s of miles away. Me being in America should be proof that his training and methods work and also he Genuinely cares about you and wants to see you be the best version of you that you can be! I have not only found a great coach but a great family within the pack.

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member of the Wolfpack now since September 2020. Since then I’ve come a long way and yet more to come. I learned more and more every single session, gained better understanding of training, coaching and the outside pinnacles of training overall. I had a back injury from my previous gym membership, which back then i had no knowledge of training whatsoever. After a breakdown from starting at Wolfpack, form, programming, diet and proper recovery all added together to stop that said injury. Now everything feels great and yet still more to learn. I soon came to realise that Wolfpack isn’t just the ordinary gym, its a club and a team of members all with goals. These members all work insanely hard to reach those goals. Couldn’t be more happier to be part of that team

Fantastic experience: I joined the Wolfpack in 2020 and trained via zoom with Darren Stafford. In a year he has changed my posture, my mentality, strength and approach to training. I got to train in person at the gym in Stalybridge finally in April 2021 and it didn't disappoint. The members are warm, supportive and Darren is a wealth of knowledge and trains each person individually to be strong, confident and safe. Hand to heart the best thing I have ever done for myself and I look forward to being able to visit the gym again.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad to have arrived back into Darren's safe hands. I'm in my mid Fifties and going through Menopause and everything else a woman of my age goes through.....Tiredness, Painful Knees, Hips, Lower Back, Shoulders, Lack of Energy, Weight gain.... you name it, I've got it.... I've had problems with my right shoulder and pains in my arms since before the first lockdown. After paying out for Physio, which did not work and taking prescription Painkillers I decided I had to get back to Darren, as he really understands the human body and it's workings. I started back on April 14th and Darren built a program specifically for my needs which has made a huge difference to my posture, flexibility and strength already. I have not taken a Painkiller for weeks as I feel I don't need them anymore. Yesterday I had my first Massage to my shoulders and back which resulted in me having more motion and NO more stiffness and pain in the areas I have been experiencing for the last almost 2 years. I must say it was the absolute best Massage I have ever experienced. He got straight to the problem area and for the first time in months I slept like a baby without waking up several times due to being in pain... If you are like me, hesitant due to lack of mobility and being in constant pain please, please try this Club. Darren will listen to you and then put the right program together for you and work with you through each exercise to build your confidence and make you a stronger person. Darren knows not every person is the same and therefore you really do get that VIP treatment.

Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: Darren is very knowledgeable and easy going. Great gym for nervous people as they are encouraging and friendly

Fantastic experience: Best gym for miles. Darren Stafford owner and coach really knows his stuff. Grateful for all the help he has given me over the past year. All the members are a great bunch more like a family. Everyone looks out for one and other
